Simply to have a "still mind",
 is not why we are here!

There is plenty of time for a "still mind" in spirit :).  

In fact, in spirit we do not need a human mind, because we are pure feeling beings!  In spirit, we are simply being a part of the love, God energy of all. But after a few billion years, that becomes quite boring :). Especially, when in spirit, there is no time.

And so we have chosen to be on this amazing earth journey, and experience a rainbow of different experiences and energies of love, and a rainbow of experiences and energies of "non-love". 

Each conscious (mind / heart) feeling, emotion and experience, 
helps us to grow. 

Why do we have a mind? 


 Everything is part of the divine creation of all. 

We have a mind, so that we can experience the rainbow of emotions and feelings, which are in harmony (as in spirit) and which are separate from love, God and our Sacred Life (being) on our chosen journey on the earth. Not as punishment, but to consciously grow!

"Self", Juerg 2003

Without our human mind, we would not be able to consciously discern and experience what we have come for, on this earth journey.

What is the true purpose of our body and Mother Earth?

We have a body so that we can feel and experience (create and see manifested) when we are and when we are not in harmony with the energy (which we can only feel!) of love, God and our Sacred Life!

Mother Earth, our life and even our world, can also show us whether we are, or not, living our Sacred Life in harmony with our heart, all people, Mother Earth and the love, God of all.

(more later....).

We are here to gain conscious experience through our own journey - to heal, learn and grow to feeling, being and sharing love and our Sacred Life in harmony with all people and Mother Earth

Every unpleasant thought and emotion is a reflection of what we have not healed in our life - a messenger (see also "Listening to  from our heart and life) i.e.  connected with an experience and relationship we have not truly healed to conscious love, compassion, our true self and our Sacred Life with all people and Mother Earth.

We feel in a certain way - have "unpleasant" thoughts/emotions - because of experiences in this life, which we have chosen on a soul level for our 
conscious understanding, wisdom and growth.

We can only truly "know", what we can feel. We can only feel based on our own conscious journey and experiences!

“Growing to Oness”, Juerg 2001

Only the unpleasant (person, situation) can trigger 
what is unhealed (unpleasant) in us!!

For our own healing and growing towards love and our Sacred Life, instead of judging and reacting from our own unhealed experiences and emotions, we must take responsibility for how we are feeling.

If we simply still or calm our mind, want to “be in the Now”, 
when in fact, we have not healed every unpleasant experience in this life
or we are not truly living our Sacred Life, 
then we are simply delaying our healing and growth!

We then close ourselves off to the opportunity to feel 
and heal what longs for love and our Sacred Life! 

Unfortunately, growth is always at first unpleasant 
– but then gives us the opportunity to consciously heal 
and grow more deeply to love, our true being and our Sacred Life.

So instead of reacting to the “trigger” (person, circumstance), 
or trying to “still our mind”, we should be grateful (!) 
to the trigger and consciously feel and heal 
what is at the core (person / past experience) 
of the emotion / feeling, which gets triggered in us.

Because healing and growing is at first unpleasant (i.e feeling the truth in us), 
we may of course prefer not to grow - and so we feel relieved (like our teacher at school saying we have not homework) if someone teaches about "stillness of mind", "be happy" (i.e. to avoid anything unpleasant, create a life, where everything is "perfect", rather than being true to our feeling heart and / or the good of all people and Mother Earth). Or when there is a pill or other treatment for our headache - rather than feeling and consciously understanding and healing what is behind our headache and any other dis-harmony in our body, 
unpleasant relationships, life, etc.. 

If our life was always rosy and comfortable, 
we would simply stay where we are... i.e. we would NOT have 
the opportunity and motivation (unpleasant feeling) to grow.

“Where are You”?, Juerg 2002

On a soul level we choose for each of the many lives of this journey, our core experiences, parents, place of birth, life situations, for us to be able to continue to grow – and / or to help our soul family to experience and grow.

The more challenging our experiences,
the greater the opportunity for us to grow.

The more challenging our experiences - 
the more ancient (evolved) is our soul!

Some of the most amazing, ancient souls on the earth 
(and in spirit), have chosen / are choosing lives 
which are very hurtful and challenging for them, 
which offer other (not so ancient) souls the opportunity to become more conscious, feel more (e.g. sadness, love, compassion, etc.) and grow towards their Sacred Life in harmony with all people 
and Mother Earth.

Are we embracing the opportunities to feel, heal and grow 
these amazing, self-less, beautiful, ancient beings are offering to us??

For thousands of years, in our "civilized world", many people who had become separate from their feeling heart and Mother Earth, did not embrace such opportunities, because they did not know how to heal themselves. And so they remained separate from their feeling heart and Sacred Life with all people and
Mother Earth.

These people then chose actions based on their unhealed experiences and closed heart, and ended up hurting or even destroying other people (some of them, millions of people) and much of the natural paradise on the earth. 

But, while what they have done to others (e.g. native people) was atrocious, they themselves were living in the prison of their own unhealed emotions and experiences, a life of fear - devoid and separate from love, compassion, nurturing, nourishing, of feeling much at all in the heart, devoid of
experiencing and sharing their love and Sacred Life.

But all remains part of the divine of all.

Take the father who is wounded and hurts his own son.

These unpleasant experiences (feelings, emotions) then
 offer the motivation (energy) for the son to grow more
towards love, compassion, wisdom,
his true self and his Sacred Life
in harmony with all people and Mother Earth.

The father of course, is in a very lonely place himself,
where because of his own past hurtful experiences, he is
unable to feel real love and compassion for others or himself!!

The father is hurt, because of the hurtful experiences with e.g. his father and / or mother (which, when unhealed, then later are re-lived in various forms with other people and relationships). His father in turn was also hurt, because of the hurtful experiences with his father and / or mother, etc.

The way for us to heal the long chain of wounded families over many generations (since we became separate from our Sacred Life!),
is for us to feel and heal what is in us -
in our own heart and life!

And then for us to be truly devoted to live and share
our Sacred Life
with all people and Mother Earth.

Otherwise, WE will pass on our own unhealed experiences to our children, and they (unless they heal themselves) to theirs, etc.

When we are feeling and healing what is in us, we can help to HEAL the chain of wounded families and generations and no longer pass on our own unhealed experiences to our children, grand-children, etc.

“Love Family”, Juerg 2002



Of course, we always have a choice. 

If we do not embrace the many opportunities 
to feel, heal and grow - 
then our body, our emotions and feelings, 
our relationships, our life and Mother Earth 
will show us!

Are we ready?
