Why some Lives are filled with Problems - Part 1

This is the first of a six-part series delivered by William LePar's spiritual source, The Council, during their first trance for the general public. In this series of quotes they explain, in picture form, how poor choices in our lives can lead to future problems which might never have occurred if we had taken more time to seek a better solution.

The Council:  Reality is a collection of all of you creating together, not as individuals but as members of an orchestra. You are in concert with each other. The material manifestation or the earthly life is the opportunity to work with other entities in the growth process; it is a giving and a taking; it is a sharing.

Why are some lives so filled with problems?  Why are some lives filled with so much sadness and sorrow?  Why is it some people never seem to go anyplace?  They seem to stand still. Let us give you a little example of how life works. Although some of you may find this very hard to believe, initially when you made all the spiritual agreements and contracts to experience life with those around you, your life was planned out so that it would be filled with peace, contentment, happiness, and joy. If this be the case, then why are so many lives contrary to this?  Picture your life as a lake, as smooth and quiet as a mirror, a piece of glass. At some time, at some place, at some experience in your life you reached a crossroads where a decision had to be made. A decision was made, but the decision was not as good as it could have been, and so this caused a ripple on the surface and slightly distorted the clarity of it. So as life progressed then another crossroads came, another decision had to be made. The decision was made not through the clarity of the lake or the pool as it was originally, but now that decision is made through that ripple effect, and so the clarity of sight is not there, and again a wrong decision is made causing a greater degree of ripples, more ripples, less clarity, less quiet, less calm, less clear. And as life goes on then, each decision is made through this distortion, through this lack of clarity until finally this peaceful, placid lake, this mirror, is totally distorted, all clarity gone. This is how life becomes a trial. This is how hardships come into being. Once the lake becomes so distorted, then decisions are no longer really made, but instead of decisions they become reactions to emotions and to situations, reactions to emotions and situations.

Growing Spiritually

William LePar's spiritual source, The Council, says that the soul creates the best life plan that it can so that it will grow spiritually.

The Council:  When each of you come into the material manifestation to live a life, to attain that perfect state, believe this or not, your lives are planned out, as a general rule, to be quite calm and peaceful.  You will have a certain amount of sorrow in it, a certain amount of sickness, a certain amount of joy, and a certain amount of work. If you live your life as you generally plan it, it will be filled with a good balance of all things.  Unfortunately, very few individuals have that kind of life because someplace along the line they make a choice based on the selfish ego.  What happens when this occurs is you begin to set up a rippling effect in your life. Instead of that clear picture of choice, the clarity becomes rippled, much as a lake that is very calm, you toss a pebble in it and it creates ringlets that keep going out and out and out.  Once the first choice is made based on the ego and self-serving ego, you create a series of rippling effects.  The next decision in life is looked at through this rippling effect, which gives it somewhat of a distorted picture.  If the mind is not or the conscience is not wise enough to make a choice not based on ego but based on what is best and good and spiritual, the ripples become more distorted, another pebble is thrown in and this is an accumulative error that is created and this continues then through life, which then begins to distort the peace and tranquility that the life was supposed to undergo. 

So each decision in life based on the ego, self-serving ego distorts the view for the next decision.  Someplace along the line one must return to the original clarity of thought or the clarity of vision.  That means that sometimes the rippling effect when a perfect decision is made or a perfect choice is made the consequences of that may not be as pleasing as one would hope.  So, you can reduce this rippling effect or this distortion by going through life making the proper choices.  Life will then begin to level out again.  Now, this is creating your life.  Your talents are the same way.  You create the talent you want.  There is a natural ability to the soul in all artistic and uplifting things. It is part of the soul to express itself in a loving and godly way, in a way of art and beauty.

So it is bringing out this talent, this artistic talent, this beauty of the soul through this rippled existence or incorrect vision or whatever you choose to call it.  So you may be able to reach that perfect balance of meditation or prayer and practice but because of wrong choices you will never attain the respect of the public.  But then, too, one should ask, are you striving for prominence so that the ego is fed or are you striving to produce something beautiful that is uplifting for those around you and for yourself?
