Life Lessons - How do you know when they are finished?

Dear Friends,

Question: How do you know when life lessons are finished, and you can walk away from them?

Answer: How can you walk away from something you have learned. The point of learning is absorbing the knowledge, the knowing, making it part of you and your understanding. You can walk away from an unfinished lesson but never from the finished one. Once the lesson is finished, the pattern will cease to repeat, the challenges surrounding it will cease.

You will, for the most part, not know when the lesson has finished as knowing that is of no use. For it keeps you looking to the end, to the result, and that is not the point of the learning. You may know the answer to the question, but that does not mean you understand why that is the answer or how it was reached. Learning and lessons are about the embodiment of the answer, about it becoming part of your intrinsic nature.

Many lessons appear completed as the pattern has reduced; this is when the learning is being absorbed fed down into the Soul, becoming part of the Souls knowing. Challenges to the 'knowing' will then occur; these do not challenge the Soul; they challenge the other parts of Self to see if the whole is ready for the new understanding. Often parts of the Self will take a while longer to give up old ways and old ideas, even if the Soul has embodied them.

Do not worry about the end; humanity is always worried about the end. Consider this, it is important to recognise the lesson, see what it is and acknowledge that. Give over to the lesson and work with it, the process will take as long as it takes, and it will complete.
