“We didn't come [to this life] only for the sunny days, the lollipops and roses! We also came for the silky dark nights, and the moonlight and the stars. We came for the soft veils of fog in the early mornings, and the rain painting circles in the pond... the hailstorms and the thunderclaps.”
Elke Heinrich

Suzanne Giesemann
“All good stories follow a similar storyline:
The protagonist embarks on an adventure that leads him or her into the unknown. Along the way, the main chracter encounters challenges and temptations. He or she is helped by mentors or guides who gift them with insights and revelations. In the end, they experience triumph and transformation.

This popular pattern is known as "the hero's journey", and it is what your soul came here to experience. [...]

[Before you came into this life, as a soul,] you chose this role and the other actors with whom you would interact. You agreed to the overall plot and to specific milestones within the story, but for much of it, the details are unscripted. You are free to choose your reactions and responses to every new experience. That's what makes it so exciting for the soul and you, the hero of this story.

The problems occur when [...] ]you forget you are a soul playing a temporary human role and] you allow the role to define who you are. [...] This is like a method actor who begins to beleive he or she IS the character they are portraying.

The idea is to] maintain soul awareness and step out of character every so often [and re-connect with the soul and its wise understanding of the world].”

“You came here [to this life] to enjoy the fullness of the creative experience. [Both smooth and rough patches]. In the process, any growth you experience adds to the growth of humanity as a whole.

What better way could there be for humans to evolve than in an environment of [contrasting experiences; dark and light] where free will stretches and pulls against rigid rules? This creative tension results in an inner urge to progress ever onward, ever upward, through winding curves and over the occasional whoop-de-doos.”
Suzanne Giesemann, The Awakened Way: Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life

Suzanne Giesemann
“All [things in the world, good and bad] arise from [Source, from] one indivisible field, one Wholeness. Nothing is left out. [...]

When you flow with what life puts in your path [and resist nothing], you take in every bit of [life, and of Source], bumps and all. In allowing the entirety of what presents itself, fullness replaces the emptiness. Disappointments, failure, rejections - all are part of a tapestry that no longer has holes in it. [...]

When you [make peace with and accept life in its fullness, good and bad], you find what you've unwittingly been looking for all along: wholeness.”

“Only by stretching do you grow.
