Liber Viridis

This is either a) the weblog of two spirit guides who for reasons best known to themselves have chosen to work with Mordant C., or b) the sad deluded ramblings of an ageing gen-Xer who's finally lost her few remaining marbles. Whatever. Enjoy.

Here's a transcript of a conversation I had with the entities the other day. I was on the train and pretty bored, so I took out my notepad and wrote down questions. Sometimes the answers were verbal, sometimes they were in the form of vivid mental images.

MC: Why do people suffer? Specifically, Why isn't it possible for a healer to fix people, remove all their pain and suffering?

A: If we were meant to live without suffering, our spirits would have gone into the rocks or the trees. But we are mortal and chose suffering.

MC: Who's this, then, the royal we?

A: *Laughter* (They seem to be implying that they were once people like us, but I'm not sure.)

MC: Okay, I was just saying.

A: Yet suffering idly, that is a wrong thing.

MC: You've mentioned this. Suffering is a lesson, right?

A: Yes. We learn from suffering. Idle suffering is anathema to us. (Image: A child reaches out for a bright candle-flame, then flinches back and sucks her finger. Next image: A mother shaking, slapping her child in a fury. I took this to represent the difference between suffering as a lesson and idle suffering.)

MC: So limiting suffering, that's a Good Thing, right?

A: (Emotion: humourous parody of disapproval)

MC: Okay, okay, sorry.

So there you have it. Suffering = Bad. I'm hoping we'll get to the fractal quantum genius stuff as I get better at communicating with the guides. You never know.
