順境與逆境 — 麥可天使長 （註一）

順境是你們大多數人在生命中所追求的。我們這裡指的不單單是物質上或身體上的。你們可以在許多層面上體驗到順境，也可以在許多層面上體會到逆境。

你們可以在物質上、情緒上、能量上、甚至是思想上體驗到順境與逆境的兩個極端。但是你們無法單單只體驗到其一，那樣不但會大大侷限你們的生命經驗，也會讓你無法感知到小小的不順所能帶給你的好處。

只要你在逆境當中，你就有機會慰藉自己，也讓別人有機會慰藉你，或是提供任何幫助。雖然處於順境是令人愉悅的，但是終究你會覺得無聊，因為在其中你缺少了可以招致能量流動的機會。

我們要說的是你的逆境可以是利益你的好機會，而且它不應該立刻被推開。當你學會從逆境中看到擴張與成長的機會時，你就可以看到它的價值，而當你可以看到它的價值時，它就會自然而然的利益你。

如何處置你的逆境將決定你能不能從中獲益。我們建議你身處逆境的同時，也抱持好奇心去看看它能如何利益你、如何透過它成長、或如何讓它帶你到更高的境界。

我們是麥可天使長，我們是永恆，我們是愛！

註一：順境與逆境。原文comfort and discomfort。如果翻譯成舒適與不舒適太局限於文字的限制，因此翻譯成順境與逆境。

Comfort and Discomfort ∞Archangel Michael

“Welcome. We are here to serve and assist you.

Comfort is something that most of you seek in your lives. We are not just talking about physical comfort here. There are many ways for you to experience comfort, and there are many ways for you to experience discomfort.

You can experience either end of the spectrum physically, emotionally, energetically, and even with your thoughts. You are not ever supposed to experience just one end of any spectrum. That would not only give you a diminished experience of life, but it would also deny you that which a little discomfort can bring.

As soon as you are in any sort of discomfort, you have the opportunity to soothe yourself, and you offer others the opportunity to soothe you, to offer aid and assistance. Being in a state of comfort is naturally enjoyable. But what you find is that eventually you feel bored, you have less energy moving through you because there is nothing to summon it.

What we are attempting to sell you on here is that discomfort can be a great service to you, that it is not to be eliminated right away. As you learn to look within the discomfort for the opportunity for expansion and growth, you can see its value. And when you see the value in something, it automatically begins to serve you.

The way you respond to your discomfort determines whether or not you will benefit from it. We ask that you give yourselves the pure experience of discomfort while holding curiosity in your consciousness about how it could serve you, about how you can work with it, and about how it can help to bring you to a higher level.

We are Michael. We are infinite. We are Love.”
