Hello, dear ones. This is Sandalphon.

We shall take a pause in our discussion of human love and relationships at this time to talk about your current challenges for the next few days. Many of you may re-experience old, strong and painful  emotions that you thought were resolved over the next few days.

Remember that spiritual growth often occurs in a spiral fashion. Issues that you may feel were long resolved, may again flash forth over the next 3 to 5 days. Do not be alarmed or feel that you have slid backwards in your spiritual progress. The current energy is supporting another examination by each of you of these old conflicts and issues so that they can be resolved at yet a higher level.

When difficult memories or emotions arise, remember to experience them at your current level of understanding. When you processed them before, your understanding was less evolved than it is now. And this is why you experience your spiritual growth in a spiral fashion.

Each time you re-process old traumas, conflicts, or strong emotional reactions, you experience them from the level of understanding that you have at that time. I’m sure each of you would wish that this finished the processing (laugh), but your understanding of the situation would be incomplete if it stopped there. Instead, each of you process a significant event over and over as your understanding grows.

When you are in the throes of a difficult emotion or painful memory, it is hard to remember that you are at a higher level of understanding at that time. The emotions or events feel as though you are experiencing them right then. However this is the point where you can bring in your higher understanding and new level of detachment.

You will re-experience these emotions and memories over and over until you have a breakthrough. At that moment, you will suddenly shift and no longer feel immersed in the experience. You will instead pause and realize that you can simply shift your attention because you’re done with those experiences. This is when you’re processing of that event or emotion is complete.

You revisit traumatic events in your life over and over until you reach that turning point and choose not to become immersed in re-experiencing them. In that moment, you have finally risen above your old conflicts about that issue, and you are free from recycling this pain over and over and over.

Most of you have at least one core conflict that resurfaces repeatedly throughout your life. This conflict may dress itself in many different robes, i.e. arriving via different triggers. But when you examine the essence of the conflict, you will find it is always the same. When you have finally risen above this core issue/pain that you carry inside, know that you have indeed attained something great.

In going beyond recycling a traumatic experience repeatedly, not only have you moved past that trauma, but you have learned to discipline your mind. In addition, you have begun to rise above your emotions and repetitive reactions. You’ve learned inner steadiness, self-compassion, and embraced your higher wisdom regarding this issue.

Therefore, if you find yourselves again facing an old painful reaction, keep this in mind. This is not an obstacle to your inner growth. This is a powerful vehicle for your inner growth. Feel grateful for the opportunity to truly heal yourself and expand your awareness even further.

Sending each one of you much love,

Sandalphon
