Readings With Nancy |
One of the essential requirements of real, spiritual growth is pain. You can't have transformation without it. The old metaphor of the Caterpillar becoming wrapped in the cocoon, and finally the birth of the butterfly requires painful transformation. How about the Phoenix that rises from the ashes? It's all about the growth that happens after you feel as though there is nothing more that you can possibly take. The beaker gets full, and the overflowing means that it's really finished.
The result of this is pain. Pain becomes the opportunity. Opportunity for change, or transformation is all a part of why we came here to begin with. Here in the "Earth School" we just never stop growing.
