A person gets cancer and they think this is the worst thing that could happen. The cancer turns out to be the Spiritual teacher that sets the person on a Spiritual journey they would have never gone on if it weren’t for the cancer.
When I write books, it is my life experience that I use very often for the chapters I write. It is the insights I have about myself and what I observe in my students, friends, and colleagues that serve to be the grist for the mill for ideas for my chapters. Whole books and book after book have been written in this manner. So what at first seems terrible turns out to be the idea for a chapter. This very chapter I now write is an example of this. Something occurred in my life that was not according to my preferences. However, I was very taken by how I turned this experience into a positive. That insight was the inspiration for writing this chapter! That which could have been interpreted as a negative has become an inspiration chapter to help others!
My Beloved Readers, what I am trying to show you is that everything works that way, if you will just see it as such. Job had everything taken away and it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. He got to take the supreme test of faith and righteousness in God, and passed.
A person may have a relationship end, which seems like the worst thing in the world. Twenty years later it is seen as the best thing that ever happened. A person may get a terrible health crisis, which seems like the worst thing in the world. They may not be able to work, change professions, take years off work, and God only knows what else. If the person has the “proper” attitude, which is the key to what I am talking about, they can look at it as a Spiritual test and focus on what they can do instead of what they can’t do. This situation may force them to become more Spiritual. It may force them to meditate more. It may force them to become more inner-directed. It may force them to develop in other areas that they never would have ever developed.
So Spiritual alchemy will take place in every aspect of your life if you have the philosophy that God would have you think with, which is, how can I make good out of this. So it is this set of attitudes and this last one I just spoke about that is the key to turning any negative situation into a positive one! Whatever the catastrophe, maybe you are supposed to learn about that and be the crusader on Earth to prevent this from happening to others!
Many of my books came out of watching all the negative ego corruption, contamination, glamour, illusion and maya going on in the New Age Movement among a great many Spiritual leaders, students, and even friends I was working with! I could not believe all the “negative ego corruption” I was seeing in channelings, Spiritual teachers, Spiritual scientists, psychics, and so on. I would sit for hours and hours on end talking with the inner plane Ascended Masters about all the disintegration and fragmentation going on in religion and the New Age Movement, even among some of the most well known Spiritual leaders, channels and teachers on this planet who I have been privy to know! I was seeing things that were blowing my mind! Instead of allowing myself to be brought down by it, I looked at it in unconditional love and with Spiritual discernment, and decided to write a series of books that would explore every aspect of the corruption going on that I was seeing as a Spiritual teacher, Spiritual channel and Spiritual psychologist. I turned something that I could have let deflate me or lessen my enthusiasm into what I now consider to be some of the best books I have ever written.
