Physical pain and the moral pain

By Heloisa Ferreira da Costa

Much is said about physical pain, the diseases of the material body, but what shakes the spirit most is moral pain, sadness, anguish and betrayal.

Those who judge do it based on themselves - this is a great truth. Often the human being misjudges his fellow man, because he judges him of a character similar to his own, and the reality is quite another. As for the human being, he suffers because he allows himself to be deceived by melodious words, by decisions which, once taken, last less than 24 hours! The honest, resolute person who always knows what he wants and where he is going, is astonished before these unstable people who, when they lose something they used to possess, do everything to get it back but soon after change their mind, despise and abandon the object of their esteem as quickly as they change a piece of clothing.

The affected person waits, observes, fights against their feelings, but sometimes succumbs, loses their emotional control and explodes. Moral pain produces a certain change of vibrations in the spirit, the conditions that are likely to retain or attract the related bad fluids are trasnformed.

It is necessary to be very careful, as in this world we live with all kinds of spirits from the most different evolutionary classes, and deception is normal. How many are so well disguised in pleasant looks, but hide within the greatest villainies? The spirit has no size, it is a spark of light, whose intensity of brilliance has no relation with its temporary corporeal instrument, and the attributes it possesses are not measured by the dimensions of the physical body, but by its capacity to accomplish.

The student of life outside matter (incorporeal life) is not free from encountering adverse situations and bad people, but must always be alert to help himself. When he falls victim to these conditions he must find the strength to withdraw, to irradiate (to the Superior Astral) at the proper time in order to receive superior intuitions (from the Superior Astral) and, provided he has a relative knowledge of what life is about, needs to perceive the associations existing between physical body and spirit, and have a rational idea of how spiritual evolution works. There is no doubt that he will have the means to spare himself great sufferings, by not feeding fools or frivolous habits that may result in moral harm to himself. 

On the conduct of life, at the first sign that something is not going well, the right thing to do is to stop, examine everything, re-examine, realize what is wrong, put the reasoning into action, removing the error to start all over again. Thus, the facts must be faced realistically in order to achieve happiness without escaping the reality of things.

When one is morally wounded, the spirit becomes sensitive, shaken. In these moments, reading and inner care are essential, some will need psychological help, but within Christian Rationalism everything is found without the need to share the pain with other incarnated human beings. The spirits of light, who supervise everything, follow without interfering directly, but with intuitions of solace, reinvigorating and healing day by day, and that is the only way to find a cure for these wounds of the soul, which later, when evaluated in retrospect, will have been very useful for personal development.

Disillusions are part of life, to get out of a certain situation of sadness and depression there is no Superior Force that, alone, rescues the individual. He himself must seek to help himself, recognizing his weaknesses and remembering that all that belongs to matter here will remain. So, why get bothered so much because you prejudged someone with innocent eyes?

Worse than being naive is to carry within oneself the power to hurt others, the evil practiced consciously or unconsciously will return to the inducing agent with much greater intensity. Between hurting and being hurt, the second option is easier to repair; difficult is to get rid of the acquired spiritual debt when you hit someone in his honor. 

Within spirituality is contained all the wisdom to go through life's storms without losing the direction preestablished on the astral plane. Whining about why something didn't go as planned doesn't get you anywhere, whoever lives stuck in the past never reaches the future!
