“Suffering of one kind or another—physical, emotional, mental or spiritual—is the principle means by which light is accumulated. Behind the mask of a deformed body, for example, is a soul making karmic adjustments.
Often those who take on debilitated forms make far greater progress in a lifetime than those whose forms are healthy and attractive, creating conditions less conducive to spiritual learning. The soul with a disabled body who grows from the anguishing episode will experience a reversal of fortune in a subsequent lifetime when it assumes a form of beauty. Thus the consciousness and form become resonant.”
