Why bad things happen

Many times I hear the question, "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
There are many reasons. Yes, many.

One very important reason is something that many misunderstand. The Universe does NOT punish! It does TEACH but does NOT PUNISH. When "bad things" happen people ask what they did wrong. Sometimes there are ways that need to be changed and the Universe is teaching you by pushing you along another path. This causes "bad things" to happen. The answer is to look hard and long at the situation and see if there is a better way to handle it.

Something that is very hard for many is the death or severe illness of a child. They too teach us things in their short lives. It could be compassion, or to live our lives more fully. It could be to bring attention and focus against abuse; it could be to have a parent pick up a banner and run with it. There are laws in this country like Megan's Law (sex offenders must register), and one where trailer homes must have weather radios. The only reason these laws exist is because a child died. The death may not be so far reaching, but have reasons closer to home. Sometimes we will not realize the reason until later on.

We are all sent here to fulfill a purpose in someone's learning process, and to learn ourselves. We all have the goal to reach a higher level of human life. Sometimes illness is sent to slow us down and make us pay more attention to ourselves or our families.Sometimes we make ourselves ill. People who are always angry manufacture a chemical that causes cancer, this is a scientific fact.

The Universe and Gaia also know that they are in charge of population control. We cannot all live to a ripe old age. We have a hard enough time to feed, and provide clean water for the world. What if everyone lived a long life? What if there were no wars, or accidents? We would all starve to death and have no clean water. There is a reason for every MAJOR thing that God/Creator/The Universe put on this earth, if he thought it was "bad" and served no purpose, it wouldn't exist.

There is also the yin and yang of the world. The pendulum MUST swing. The good would not be known as "good" unless we had the "bad" to compare it too. Even if all were always good, we would be bored and dissatisfied.

Life is a series of tests. The response we have to each situation is what we are graded on. Do we despair and say "God, how could you do that to me?" , or do we learn from it, move on and prosper? Those who fail to learn, come through Earth lives again and again. We all however do many trips to live all aspects. We all get to be male and female, rich and poor, die young, die old....Some souls however take longer to learn the lessons and enjoy what the Bible calls "Heaven".

Our job is to learn and grow, to REALLY help others (that doesn't mean throwing money at a problem or doing something to boost our self esteem). We are here to learn from our mistakes, not try to push off the blame on others. We are here to thrive, and be abundant, not waste and live beyond our means. We are here to inspire others, to help others, and to grow ourselves.

When something "bad" happens, you are not being punished, you are being guided, taught, or used to help another. We all come in a soul group, and all the actions of the people in our soul group effect the others, and are meant to. We form soul groups over many lifetimes, and agree to help (and yes sometimes suffer), to assist in the whole group moving up and on. We are all in a group to give each other the situations we need to have in order to learn our life lessons. There are 111 people counting on you. You may be in their lives for a day, or for decades, but you are there for a reason, good or bad. You are purposefully here to interact in some way, again, good or bad.

Make sure that you do not despair over "bad" things. Trust that the Universe knows exactly what it is doing.

As a reiki master I learned to go into a healing with the intention of providing what was for that person's highest good. When they are in pain and ill, their highest good may be to pass. Some may not see that as a healing, but to be on the other side, young and healthy, sure sounds like a healing to me!

Death is not hard for the dying, it is hard on the ones left behind. We don't want to see people go becasue we know they will be missed. When you think about it, it is selfish, it really is. Yet, we are humans, and cannot help but have that emotion. However, when it comes down to it, death , even of the young, is NOT a punishment, but a reward for completing a job and moving on to the next life.

There is so much to all of this, and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
