Lessons only have to do with other-selves, not events?

[Jade]

I think this is a really interesting topic, thank you!! I agree with what has been said but want to add my own speculation. I believe that "events" have to do with the mind, and that "other selves" correlate with the body. We can spend all day imagining events and scenarios occurring in our mind, but it isn't until they actually unfold with others-selves being involved (so that we can see their reactions) can we truly begin to "understand" this illusion that we are in, through our heavy veiling. This is the integration of the mind/body/spirit.

Another way of looking at it, and the wheel of karma, is that we often have repeating motifs/events in our lives that we deal with. Often a victim will move from one abuser to the next, recreating exactly the same scenario but with another person. It's healing the interrelationships between humans that is our real goal. We all think we desire certain events but the "events" that truly satisfy us are connecting with others.
