A short YouTube monologue (by Elay Amitay Halevi) arguing that life’s challenges are sent by the universe and are precisely matched to a person’s current level to push them to the next stage. The speaker notes that the next level feels uncomfortable and illogical because it is unfamiliar and therefore appears dark.
One of the things I've learned is it doesn't matter how long you've been spiritual or you've been working on something or what your past experience has been. Every test you go through is sent to you by the universe that is exactly on your level. The challenger, your opponent, is exactly equal to where you're at in order to get you to your next level. And the only reason the next level isn't comfortable is because it's not your current level. It's a level that you're not familiar with. So of course you don't see it, of course it's illogical, of course it's dark.
