Think on This ...
This may be a hard statement for many, but you will eventually come to know it is true: No fault, no hurt comes to self save that thou hast created in thine consciousness, in thine inner self, the cause. For only those that ye love may hurt you.
Edgar Cayce Reading 262-83
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
he is saying the hard truth here, that when we have a child or another who hurts us grievously, it's because of karma being re-enacted.....something that finds it's cause either in this lifetime or in another lifetime prior.
There is no other ............understanding of our life's events.

But as Edgar also reminds us, "Through bearing the Crosses in life, you recieve the Crown..." there is no other way. Self must meet Self.
and overcome the self. We usually then, "meet self" and our prior actions, through catalysts of people and/or events.
