Excerpt from the page: "Reincarnation" :
- How and when are the spiritual goals that we must achieve defined?
â« You all live a more or less long period of wandering in the spiritual world between two incarnations. It is relative to your efforts to progress. When your degree of evolution allows it, you choose the outline of your next life on earth, with the approval of your guides. A life plan is established, with the choice of your family and its social environment, your professional, sentimental, friendly, material and financial lines, as well as your health. âPart of the life experiences are determined in advance according to your achievements or weaknesses of past lives. They will become unmissable events, highlighting the main weaknesses to be eliminated. Nevertheless, the majority of your experiences will reveal themselves through the free choice of your attitudes and behavior. »
â« When the soul makes its choices of incarnation, it is not in contact with its karmic memories, so everything seems light and easy to it.
âTotally connected to its divine source, the soul is confident in its abilities to carry out its plan of incarnation, to overcome its old errors, to learn its lessons, to develop the qualities which it has chosen to develop and accomplish what she wishes to help the earth. She knows that embodiment offers her a powerful opportunity for experimentation and growth. »
â« Everyone on Earth knows the experiences he agreed to go through while his soul personality was in the cosmic interlude. As harsh as they may seem, the lesson that needs to be learned is central to the evolution of the soul-personality.
âThere is no circumstance, there is no situation, however tragic, that does not have its raison d'ĂȘtre. »
â- Magdalena, was your fall from your horse(which was to leave her disabled) foreseen by your soul?
â« Yes, I had planned it. When we choose our life experiences, we are in a "protected" environment, we are not confronted with earthly energy. We make these choices with great hindsight. Everything seems feasible to us. »
â« 1 / The shock. You will lose an eye, probably even both. Reaction of refusal, blockage: « No, not me! ». They "bury their heads in the sand" or go from one doctor to another. âIt is often in the solitude and silence of the night that the patient gives up refusing reality. But often he resumes his attitude of denial during the day. It is very important not to demolish this refusal, to respect its defenses. â2 / « Why me? ». The patient becomes disagreeable, makes life difficult for everyone around him, looks for a culprit. His mother, the doctor, God, ⊠His anger is a good thing, you have to let it pass and even encourage it. In fact, he is not angry with you, but with what you represent. You arrive with the image of life, health, spirit, all that he is losing. The more drive and energy you have ("Come on, don't worry!", which the patient translates as "Stop ruining our lives with your lamentations" ), the more you irritate him. âSometimes you have to help them express their anger (which often only takes five minutes), get them to say out loud: « Why is this happening to me? » - and you don't have to answer this question, encourage them to shout. They will then stop constantly ringing the nurse.To exteriorize the deep depressions, Dr. Ross has installed a mattress on the floor in a room, and encourages the person distraught with suffering, to hit it with all his might with a stick. â3 / « Why now? » . The patient seems at peace, but it's a truce. There comes a period of haggling. « Couldn't we wait until my children get married, or have finished their schooling, orâŠÂ » The promises these patients make, they rarely keep. Almost all patients make these requests for God, even when they have thought little of Him before. â4 / The arms fall. Silent grief, silence. The preparatory depression which follows the depression of reaction. âDo not try to stop their tears, on the contrary tell them: « It is permissible for a man to cry. » They are then able to go through this stage of grief more quickly and reach the final stage, that of acceptance. â5 / The miracle of the fifth stage can finally occur: the serenity of the blind man. For those who can see, this tranquility is often incomprehensible. An incredible tranquility has settled. »
â« The great metamorphoses of the soul come after tribulations, when silence begins to enter you. »
â« This stage of is acceptance perhaps the most difficult to describe. The patient no longer wants visitors, no longer wants to talk to anyone, has usually put his affairs in order, no longer places hope in treatments and no longer expects his life to be prolonged. The stage of acceptance does not necessarily mean that it is close to the end. It is simply reached when, having looked their finitude in the face, people live another quality of life, with other values, learn to enjoy each day given to them, without worrying about what will happen tomorrow. Acceptance is a feeling of victory, of peace, of sincere submission to what cannot be changed. Rather, resignation is a feeling of defeat, of bitterness of "what's the point?", from "I am tired of struggling". I would say that 80% of patients in asylums are at this stage of resignation. âOf course, all this is schematic. In reality, there are never such clear cuts. The different phases overlap, some repeating two or three times. There are stutters of refusal, risings of anger. âThe death : âThe atmosphere of modern cities tends to block metamorphosis at its first stage: let's refuse death! Let's not look at it, let's sing, let's dance, live with our eyes on the rear view mirror: Genesis, big bang, evolution, history, growth... âThe 4th phase is uneventful, the individual sinks. The problem is that often the people around him, stuck in phase 1, prevent him from going through his 4th phase properly. They are there, stuck to him, desperately trying to get him out of his apathy. However, he has to get used to the idea of what awaits him! To prepare himself psychologically to give up everything. This is not self-evident ! âThe anguish of the loved ones, especially when it is not expressed, slows down the dying person in his natural slide, unconsciously prevents him from " living his own mourning " and from approaching the 5th phase. The serene acceptance of the great departure must be reciprocal. From heart to heart, the living must let the dying person go. »
â« Death is part of life, it is important to teach it to children very early on. If we do this, these children will not have to go through the different stages described above later. »
â« Acceptance, when by âmiracleâ it occurs, by the formidable release of energy that it can cause, transforms the dying person into a true âteacher of lifeâ and sometimes even leads to a real and very paradoxical remission. »

â« You want to know if, when you decide on a reincarnation, you have really chosen all the evil that is going to happen to you. But to decide on its future incarnation, if any, the soul already has the experience of one or more past incarnations. Meditation in the world of light shows him very clearly the lessons missed. Then, she chooses according to her criteria the time, the place, the family, the color of the skin, etc., then she reincarnates. »

Excerpt from the page: "Purpose of life" :
â« I never established what was right or wrong, or what to do or what not to do. That would take away your greatest gift: the opportunity to do what you love and experience the results. To say something is wrong would be to deny you the opportunity to experience that truth. Some say I gave you free will, but these same people claim that if you don't obey Me, I will send you to hell. What kind of free will is that? âIt is only through what you call evil that you can know good. »
â« Because of the law of free will, angels cannot intervene in our lives unless we specifically ask for their help. The only exception to this is a life-threatening situation, in which we could die before our time. »

The vicissitudes of life being a consequence of our faults or failings, does it follow that from the nature of these vicissitudes we can know our weaknesses?
â« Very often. So such will be punished
for his pride through humiliation; he who has been hard on others, by the hardships he will undergo; the bad son, by the ingratitude of his children.
âHowever, this should not be made an absolute rule. Instinctive tendencies are a more certain clue. »
â« To erase my previous faults, I had to undergo these ordeals which I voluntarily accepted. I drew from the firmness of my resolutions the strength to bear them without a murmur. I bless them today, these trials. I can now contemplate the path travelled. âO you who have made me suffer on earth, who have been harsh and malevolent, who have humiliated me and made me bitter, whose bad faith has often reduced me to privations, not only do I forgive you, but I thank you. By wanting to hurt me, you had no idea that you would do me so much good. You have provided me with the opportunity to return good for evil. God has placed you in my path to ordeal my patience. »â
â« I had not yet freed myself from earthly ideas; the memory of what I had endured came back to me from time to time, as if to make me better appreciate my new situation. I had suffered bodily, but above all morally; I had been the target of malevolence, of those thousand perplexities more painful perhaps than real misfortunes, because they cause perpetual anxiety. Their impression was not yet completely erased, I still seemed to hear certain unpleasant voices. I groped myself, so to speak, to make sure that I was not the plaything of a dream; and when I had become certain that it was all over, it seemed to me that an enormous weight had been lifted from me. âOh ! If all men understood the future life, what strength, what courage would this conviction not give them in adversity! »

âContributions of abbot Pierre on the theme of:The WAY, Relationships, LIFE, Suffering or DEATH
â« Suffering is not God's way, but rather a sign that there is still something to learn about God's way. »
â« Suffering in itself has no moral significance if it does not give rise to altruism. âThere are sufferings that remain useless when all should serve to bring souls closer to the immense goal expected by God, the reign of love. »

And there, I tell you to start again very humbly to re-understand a new lesson. »

â« Alleviate your human suffering as much as possible but do not rebel against it: pain opens the way to the spiritual life of the soul chosen by God. âThese apparent injustices, do not judge them. You do not know what is behind this suffering. It may be accepted in advance, a pact made between the soul and God. These devastated may be privileged, spiritually speaking. âCertain beings, no worse than others, sometimes even better, seem pursued by misfortune. The problem of the destiny of souls, no one can solve it on earth, but be certain that God is just and merciful

â« Where do you see the cedar's interest in avoiding the wind? The wind tears it apart, but forges it. Very wise who can distinguish between good and evil. »
â« They do not know that suffering is a step towards healing, that separation from the dead is a sign of a necessary transformation, or a poignant call to the resolution of a dispute. It is for them only the only discomfort of the moment which is suffering. â(...) The caterpillar dies when it forms its chrysalis. The plant dies when it goes to seed.

ââYou enter the road,
ââyou carry a golden ball, heavy.
ââYou carry it â it's heavy â
ââbut you carry it all the same.
ââYou arrive at the border of a new country,
ââwhere no one believes in gold.
ââWhat's left? â Only its weight.
ââWhat should you do with it, my servant?
ââOpen your hand and the ball will roll down.
ââDropping the weight isn't difficult,

ââHe who wears the gold does not feel its weight so much he believes in it.
ââthat the faith[in these things] withdraws from it, only the weight remains.
â« And I can, from floor to floor, lead you to increasingly vast treasures. If you allow me to guide you to climb the highest mountain, I have treasures for you so hard to conquer that many renounce them in their ascent, because to build the new image, I steal from them the stones of other temples to which they hold. »
â« If such a litigation tears you apart, let it grow, you change. Blessed is your heartbreak which makes you give birth to yourself: for no truth is reached in evidence. »
â« Accepting life as it is can magically transform a situation. »

â« When you feel overwhelmed, dejected, the first thing to do is to tell yourself that this state will not last.
âFor a moment, take refuge somewhere within yourself, as if going into hibernation, and stay there until you find the breath of life again. âAnd what I say to you, I also say to myself. And it is precisely because I have had these experiences millions of times that I can tell you about them to help you. Do you believe that I could speak to you as I do if I had not also experienced great trials? »
â« The anxiety and anguish that Buddha came to cure 2500 years ago are today very official illnesses. Tranquillizers are selling well and anything that can help people âtake their worries awayâ is great value. Every human being dreams of perfect happiness and of a life where there would be nothing but joys. In the meantime, he seeks pleasant emotions and refuses painful emotions. âBecause I don't want to accept the event, the bad news and be one with it, the emotion is born. Emotion is not produced by the fact itself, however "dramatic" it may be, but by the refusal of the fact, the coexistence of yes and no. âAll Eastern doctrines teach how to free oneself from suffering. Suffering always comes from denial of facts. I would like this; this does not happen. I refuse the fact that this is not happening and I suffer. »
â« Suffering has nothing to do with events, but with our reaction to them. »
« When you get to the point where you start worrying...stop and pray!
Excerpt from the page: "The difficulties of life" :
«Prayer is a bridge thrown over the abyss. »
« Everything happens with a prayer. Whether you pray consciously or not, for your desires, good or bad, act like prayers and draw around you, in response, powers good or bad. »
â« Prayer is creative, it has the strength of the energy that you have transmitted to it. »
â« The man of flesh can, through the intermediary of the Spirit, come into contact with the cosmos. â(...) When you pray, pray as high as you can reach. Prayer is active thinking. Aim high, very high, with all the strength of your sincerity, of your conviction. You will compel the intermediate layers of the Spirit to rise too, to carry your thought.
âThis prayer involves a purification of your being. »
â« A man who prays is a lit candle. Prayer connects man to God. »
âMy beloved ones,HIM is with you through every challenge.
âHE love you.
ââ« Suffering is a 'trial' in the etymological sense of the word. When it is accepted, it dematerializes, purifies. You can suffer infinitely, and all your life, without getting closer to Heaven.
âOnly suffering accepted elevates. »
â« Evil does not come from suffering or fear, but from the refusal of suffering and fear. A circumstance is perceived as "bad", so it is not accepted, which gives rise to a negative, painful emotion in us. »
â« Combat sterile suffering, confined to itself. Every trial is a path that opens. â[...] There are two kinds of grief: purifying grief and demoralizing grief, which bears no fruit. »
â« There are sufferings that remain useless. »
â« Your guardian angel rejoices at the hardships that shorten your time of trial. But he grieves when you do not bear them with resignation; because these hardships are then without benefit for you: you are like the patient who rejects the bitter medicine intended to heal him. âKnow well that what seems evil to you is not always truly evil; often a greater good must come from it than the harm you perceive. But you do not understand this, because you think only of the present moment, or of yourself. »

He ended up in a Roman prison cell. âWhat gives me joy is that hearing this voice say: "Maybe you won't make it today, nor tomorrow, but it's good that this thought lives in your heart.

âI understand that the more I burn with joy, the more I will be able to approach my Angel; on the other hand the fire of the Angel must be attenuated by water so that he can approach me. âOne day when we learned beyond any possible doubt of the existence of the gas chambers, we knew despair. We were literally thrown down and in such a depression that it was almost impossible for the Angels to reach us.

Excerpt from the page: "Taking-back-control" :
â« In you there are two characters, one terrestrial, stuck to matter, mired in its heaviness, and the other celestial, letting itself be carried by the light. The moment you conceive your two poles, you become greedy for unity and begin your quest for purity. But that's also where the trouble begins! In the innocence of unconsciousness you found a certain tranquility, operating in the same patterns for generations, fit to taste the pleasures of the flesh.
âHowever, as soon as your consciousness opens to greater lucidity, your thirst for clarity comes up against the shadows.
âIn the grip of an existential despair, your mind then plays monumental tricks on you. You become the prey of grief, terrible doubts, loneliness and your impatience.
âWe are with you more than ever in these wanderings. Because then we recognize in you the flame, the inner fire. âThen begins an interior dialogue between your soul, which has already recognized us, and us who are your servants, your companions on the way. At your side, ready to support you in the difficult passages, smiling at your stammerings as a child of light. âIn your heart of hearts, ego of earth and soul of light manifest themselves to each other and show themselves in turn. There is no point in adjusting them with a master's hand, there is no point in wishing for their fruitful friendship. Their role is not to oust each other. Thus you grow, by making in you the union of your part of incarnated man and your part of brilliance of light. It is there, in the balanced axis between these two aspects of yourself, that you touch that you touch the new dimension that allows you to Over-Live(among earthly torments) . Then your personality of light irrigates your being incarnated in matter for a happy birth: that of the new Man in you, an incarnated reflection of the Father Creator. »

ââ« There is a challenge in life. If people looked at their problems as a challenge meant to make them grow, that would change things a lot. Look at my house. My windows are being shot, my tires are punctured every time I go to the airport, I find KKK crosses since I adopted twenty babies with AIDS. Before that my neighbors were charming... âI have to go through this to grow again. I could have become negative and embittered, and said " to hell with them all " and moved to the Riviera and lived in luxury. »

â« I find her one morning with a black face, bloody eyes, her body collapsed on the ground. She ends up confessing. Khayri, after crushing her with blows, threw her against the door made of old sharp metal. I'm beside myself: âIt can't go on, Fauzeya, let's take the children and go to your parents!â A categorical no: âLĂȘ, lĂȘâ. Through the blood that covers her eyes, she casts a look of love on her four little ones: âDo you see, they adore their father, they will suffer far from him!â She adds: âIt is I who must suffer!â She grabs Teresa, the youngest child, and cradles her, smiling softly at her. Peace returns to his heart.
âI look at her, unable to speak. His swollen face radiates tenderness. He is as if transfigured by the joy of loving. It seems natural to her to suffer so that her children do not suffer. She's decentralized all from itself. Its source is in them, she draws there its reason for living, its serenity and its joy.
âYou make me question myself, Fauzeya. Have I ever said, "It is I who must suffer so that others are happy?"Â
â- Fauzeya, teach me to love. »

â« The road to eternity is long. Fervor is a stream of sunshine in the depths of being, it is a reverberation from beyond. As soon as this light ceases to illuminate you, the taste for life is extinguished within you.

In these moments of abandonment one must withdraw into oneself. »
â« These are swooning and would have you believe that they are burning night and day. But they lie. âThe poet lies who speaks to you day and night of the intoxication of poetry.

Or mere boredom, and he yawns. âThe saint lies who professes to you that night and day he beholds God. God withdraws from him at times, like the sea. And there he is, drier than a pebble beach. »

â« We are born, it is to suffer; we live, it is to suffer; we love, it is to suffer; one works, it is to suffer. âWe climb what we will not cross, we begin what we will not complete, we believe what we will not prove, we build what we will not inhabit; we plant shade for others. No enjoyment, and for no one. Tyranny is heavy on tyrants; goodness is bitter to the good. Ingratitude, what a chalice! Nothing fits us; one never completely enters the place where one is; one does not recognize his mold in any of the hollows of life; there's always too much or too little. Elsewhere always seems preferable to here; our greatest plenitudes are emptiness. Only one serenity is possible, that of consciousness. Everything else is cloudy. »

â« Meditation helps to hear the messages of the angels, but it is not the only way. By connecting with nature, you calm your emotions and thoughts. Learn to appreciate every detail of natureâa cloud, a tree, the song of a birdâand you will feel a wonderful sense of relief. Spend time in nature. A walk, a picnic in a park or by a stream will re-establish your bond with Mother Nature and your guardian angels. âAnother way is to take two or three deep breaths, hold your breath for five to ten seconds, and then exhale slowly. Imagine yourself breathing in relaxation, joy, peace. Breathe out stress, tension and worries. The spirit world communicates with us through our breath. Breathing deeply is, in essence, the way to call Heaven. »
â« Too often you live without taking care of your soul. Feeling abandoned, it retreats into the depths of your being. It takes a harmonious life for it to mingle with life.

It shapes our behavior, our tastes, and probably our thinking. âThe power of the media is all the more important because it also reaches the unconscious. »
â« There is no longer any silence in the houses. Either the radio, or the stereo, or the TV is on âand often all three at once. In a single day, all the horrors committed in the world are carried into your homes, with loud cries and noise. â(...) must explain to you what causes this fear of life in young people. First, the soul of the parents is itself distraught, off-centered, and the child feels this unhealthy, constant agitation.
