My question is how to deal with countless past mistakes that we can not correct, but that cause frustration and hopelessness in life. Many present conditions are due to the consequences of past deeds. How do we deal with this? There is always the thought that things would be different if I had acted in a different way.🫨💥⏳🙄

A question came to me when I was listening to one of your recent talks. You were talking about Ilion and the Trojan War there. When Helen of Troy left with Paris, she left behind her little daughter, Hermione. I don’t want to judge the Divine but wouldn’t that have been traumatizing for Hermione to see her mother leave her for her lover? I know in the grand scheme of things the emotions of a little girl hardly matter but I can’t help but feel bad for her. How does the Divine compensate for such sufferings? ⛵👑🦢🔥🏰

War, battle, death, destruction are part of the process of evolution. Beings born with a greater purpose understand this intuitively. They are charged with a
