Question: If disease and illness is unnatural, why would any lifestream make it their Divine plan to experience being sick?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Holland Conference.
You are not really making it your Divine plan to experience being sick, but there can be many considerations such as karmic circumstances from the past that could be balanced through a physical illness, or it could be that you are wanting to develop understanding and compassion for certain other people that suffer from a particular illness, or it may be that you are seeking to demonstrate that you can rise above an illness or that you can learn to live with an illness and still have a positive life. You will see, for example, that there are many people who have a physical illness, perhaps even an illness from childhood, and their whole lives are colored by this, are limited by this, and it is basically for some people an excuse for not seeking to transcend themselves.
There are certainly spiritual people who have taken on a certain disease to demonstrate that it is possible to transcend not necessarily the physical disease but the psychological effects of it. And instead of using it as an excuse for not transcending yourself, you can transcend yourself despite the illness and have a constructive, positive life experience, even grow spiritually.
There can be various reasons why people take on these illnesses. It can also be to help carve a trail in the collective consciousness so that it becomes easier for people to accept that it is possible to cure certain diseases. You can go back to before the discovery of penicillin. And, for example, pneumonia, which was a quite common disease at the time, was considered deadly. And most people thought that being diagnosed with pneumonia was a death sentence. And now, because of the discovery of penicillin to some degree, there is not that stigma. But the same applies to many diseases. As we have said, consciousness comes before the physical manifestation. What led to the discovery of penicillin? It was that there were people who had started shifting their attitude so they accepted that there could be a cure for certain diseases that had been considered to be incurable.
It is the same thing with cancer today, where some people have taken on cancer in order to demonstrate that you can actually be healed from it or you can learn to live with it and have a constructive life despite this so that it is not a death sentence. This is certainly a motivation that some people have for taking on a disease as part of their Divine plan.
