Not Being Able to Resolve a Lifelong Problem

In this discussion with William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, they deal with personal issues that a person has been struggling with his entire life but cannot seem to resolve.

Questioner:  If we struggle with, say, a specific problem all of our life on a conscious level, and we are never able to resolve that problem on a conscious level or any other level, I guess, can we assume then that this was preordained and that we are not able to change it?

The Council:  Quite possibly, quite possibly, if you have dealt with it the best that you possibly could.  If it could not be changed, then it was a needed experience.  Do you understand?

Questioner:  Yes.

The Council:  Now, again, these are general outlines.  Each individual is applied to those outlines to different degrees, according to the situation.  If you take an emotional problem, if you take a physical problem, regardless, and an individual struggles with that problem all their entire life and it is never resolved, why, one might ask.  Why?  Possibly the struggling with it, the dealing with it in the best way that they consciously knew how was what was needed, not the actual solving of the problem or the overcoming of the physical problem or the emotional problem but the actual struggling and dealing with it.  Do you understand?

Questioner:  Yes, and then other people who come into contact with the same problem also have a lesson to learn and that is why they are there?

The Council:  Yes.  All lives are interconnected.  There is no such thing as separation.  You do not know someone for nothing; there is a purpose.  It may be as simple as to, it may be nothing more than just saying, "Good morning," or a very near acquaintance passing the time of day with idle chit-chat, but it serves its purpose, it was not for naught.

Mental Illness – Physical Illness, an Opportunity to Serve?

In this quote from William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, we are given advice on viewing illness.

Questioner:  Can The Council address the source of mental illness? Is it a spiritual crisis?

The Council:  All sicknesses, whether they be of the physical nature or the mental nature, are part of the life plan. It is in many cases to create a situation wherein others around that individual have the opportunities to show their love and their compassion. At times, certain mental illnesses prevent an individual from making mistakes that they have made many times in previous lifetimes. But we must learn to look at all sickness, whether they be physical or of the mental nature, in these terms: These individuals are blessed and have come in to give each of you the opportunity to serve, to express your love, your godliness. One should not look at such situations, that of physical or mental sicknesses, as a karmic condition for that individual. This isn't a loving attitude. Look at it in a very productive and positive way for yourself. This is your opportunity to show whether or not you are a loving god or a selfish person who rejects the opportunity to be giving. As with the physical problems, because everything must have a means of operation or rules in order to create a common ground, mental illnesses originally begin in a malfunction of the body's workings. At the seat of all emotional problems or mental illness is the chemistry, the blood chemistry, and how it affects all of the parts or organs of the body. That is the natural law or rule in which such conditions come about.

Remember, any illness, regardless of what it is, is your opportunity to serve another individual, and in so doing you serve yourself, and this is good because in serving yourself in that manner you are showing yourself how godly you really can be. Taking care of those who are ill certainly isn't an easy job, but remember this, if there is anything of value, if there is anything real, it requires a great deal of work. Those things that you accomplish in this lifetime of a spiritual nature will not necessarily come easily all the time, but once you have acquired those you will never lose them. They become part of your spiritual wealth, a wealth that will never be taken away.
