Any crisis is an opportunity for healing. The word “crisis” comes from the Greek and means “turning point in a disease.” So a crisis is truly an opportunity for a turning point in our lives.

However, most people don’t realize their crises as an opportunity and so the opportunity is lost.

We are programmed by our society to think of crises as something bad and to avoid at all costs. The Integrated Ascended Master, however, has the gift and ability to see in every crisis the potential for Spiritual growth and healing.

So the Integrated Ascended Master welcomes crises and looks for the opportunity in every difficulty.

The loss of a job is a potential turning point in career. The loss of a loved one is an opportunity to put God before relationships, and the loss of inner peace is an opportunity to realize that a peaceful mind creates a peaceful world.

So, start looking at all the crises in your life, big and small, as opportunities for Soul growth and as a chance to change direction in your life, for this is the perspective that Spirit would have us take.
