It's a great question Sherri, which I could summarise as, Why do we need to experience physical pain and trauma?

When someone asks a question, my consciousness always reads between the lines to what "spikes" and jumps out in the field. This leapt off the page...

But it seems so useless to be handicapped that way.

Are you indeed "handicapped" because of a physical disability?
Or, are you liberated as spirit by it.

You are not physical. You know this. Plenty do. BUT, the only way to truly know it, is to be given the opportunity to transcend it - to feel through it and not be identified with it.

Plenty for example contract cancer. And would want to heal it. But I ask, what is true healing? I would reflect it is integration and liberation of the soul - being able to walk through life but not being identified with it. Pain in the body, or even dead zones, provide an opportunity to feel through the reactivity at a cellular level. You embody spirit - but to be clear, you know yourself as spirit. No matter what.
