DWQA QuestionsCategory: Divine GuidanceA viewer asks: “How can humanity know and understand, and especially how can parents teach their children, what a war is, without them having to experience a war; what hunger is, without them having to experience hunger; what Dictatorship is, without them having to suffer under a Dictatorship, and so on? Surely there has to be a better way to truly learn and understand about evil and suffering than experiencing all these horrors individually over and over again, generation after generation?” What is Creator perspective?

Your question is quite poignant and quite meaningful, but it is blending reality with the inner yearning for deliverance from the problems of evil, and things are presently in a very confused state with an incomplete awareness of the deep truths behind the human saga, in the big picture sense. Humanity has, heretofore, been in kindergarten to learn about travails, to learn through life experience, through having great limitations, being a physical being with weaknesses and vulnerabilities, but lacking the powers of the light being or even much awareness of the divine unless one is taught to believe. Those are a considerable handicap and what this means is, any progress made with learning what can happen and the consequences, and maintaining one's balance and wherewithal to do what might be needed to overcome adversity, is the greatest possible teacher about what it means to be in alignment and all that can happen when one is not. We have spoken before about the power of life experience being the greatest teacher, because full and deep understanding is impossible without experiencing things directly. So book learning and word-of-mouth stories are all well and good. They transfer knowledge and awareness, but that is not the same thing as learning a life lesson. Having gone through a historical event personally, and been roughed up in the bargain, will burn the lesson into your very being and the record of your life. And all that happens and your reactions and responses to the challenges presented to you, that is hard-won learning, and any healing done to right the ship will serve you by giving you new wherewithal. And that will be a blessing for all of time you can use going forward. So while you lament the fact, looking at the young and what they may be facing, with a desire to warn them so they can avoid the pitfalls, you, in prior generations, have gone through over and over and over again, we would simply say it is a bit naïve to think that can be imparted directly in any fashion with efficiency and certainty the messages will take hold, be embraced, understood, and become part of the makeup of those young people. This takes some concerted effort to bring about. This is why communities and cultures with deep spiritual heritage and a very clear set of rules and doctrine that must be followed, provide the best framework to instill such teachings, and have an impact that will help the young as they grow into adulthood in knowing what is most important, because they will also have inner knowing where the guardrails are, what are the limits of proper conduct, and will know what is moral and what is a perversion of morality. Today's world is not like that, for the most part, and it shows with the wide disarray and prevalence of discord leading to warring factions and fighting, mudslinging, and rebellious conduct at all levels of society, and at extremes, giving rise to criminality. These things, too, are teaching important life lessons. So it is not appropriate to throw up your hands and give up. From that adversity will come hard-won learning and deep inner understanding of negativity. But there must be a way to guide the lost back to divine alignment. This is being done on multiple fronts, but most effectively through the healing work of GetWisdom, because it is addressing all the predisposing factors to those misalignments, and without healing the karmic history creating the predisposition and vulnerability to corruption, the deck is stacked against you. The reality and the tough message here, is that simple instructions and descriptions are not enough, but the shortcut to living through a near-Armageddon level of dystopian culture is to apply massive healing through the divine realm. That will pave the way to helping people overcome inner limitations not even in their conscious awareness, and that will make it easier to find and follow good examples and model their conduct after someone they can see is succeeding and has something better to offer than choices that lead to pain and suffering. Healing is the way forward. Then, can come an awakening through instruction.
