Cayce
". . . for in suffering strength is gained, even as the wind bloweth where it listeth - one heareth the sound thereof and knoweth not whither it cometh nor whence it goeth, yet that is as of the thought and intent in the individual characterization of self - that out of those forces comes that same in an individual or entity's being . . ." [Cayce (5528-1)]
Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth
"ONLY through the lessons of suffering will the journeying soul gain self-knowledge to retain individuality after it has discarded the ego." [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, 2007 Message (1)]
"I asked the Creator - 'Universal Consciousness' - why mankind endured so much suffering and evil.
I was then shown very clearly that all the problems experienced by humans arose from the 'central point' of the self, (science now calls this the 'ego').
It manifested itself in the 'personality'
as a DRIVING NEED to defend the self from criticism or emotional/physical attack
and a similar DRIVING NEED to push aside other people, in order to arrive first in the race of life.
It also manifested itself in the 'personality'
as a DRIVING NEED to take all that was best for the self, despite the opposition of others and a similar DRIVING NEED to hold on to personal possessions, be they relatives, friends, material goods or achievements, despite any opposition.
I was also made to understand that without these TWO fundamental, eternal, undeviating 'impulses of creative being' there would be no creation.
This is the secret of creation - and the secret of existence and of 'individual being'." [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, Letter 5, page 24]
“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.” [Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment (1866)]
Dostoevsky Proved It: Modern Women Don’t Want Peace—They’re Addicted to Chaos
Dostoevsky spent his life studying human darkness.
Not the fairytales. The addictions. The self-sabotage.
And his conclusion?
People don’t chase happiness.
They chase suffering.
He wrote:
“Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately in love with suffering.”
Now look at modern women.
They don’t run from chaos.
They feed on it.
⸻
1. She Calls Peace “Boring”
Give her a stable man. A faithful man. A vision-driven man.
She’ll yawn.
Give her a reckless man. A liar. A bad boy with mood swings.
She’ll melt.
Dostoevsky said man confuses pain for passion.
Women perfected it.
Peace doesn’t turn her on.
Drama does.
⸻
2. She Mistakes Stability for Weakness
A calm husband? “He’s not masculine enough.”
A predictable leader? “He’s controlling.”
A man who keeps her safe? “He’s boring.”
So she tests him.
Pokes him.
Picks fights at midnight just to feel alive.
Dostoevsky saw this centuries ago:
People destroy good just to prove they still have freedom.
⸻
3. She Builds Storms to Escape Stillness
Quiet nights make her restless.
So she scrolls.
She flirts.
She stirs.
Chaos isn’t her accident.
It’s her craving.
Because when peace enters the house, she feels unseen.
But when chaos rules, she feels powerful.
⸻
4. She Confuses Love With Struggle
If you don’t argue? She thinks you don’t care.
If you don’t fight back? She says you’re weak.
If you don’t chase after her tantrum? She calls you cold.
In Dostoevsky’s world, suffering was proof of existence.
In her world, suffering is proof of love.
⸻
5. She Destroys the Very Peace She Claims to Want
She says she wants loyalty.
But she sabotages faithful men.
She says she wants stability.
But she runs from quiet homes.
She says she wants leadership.
But she mocks discipline.
She wants the crown of peace—
But she can’t live without the chaos that kills it.
⸻
Final Word
Dostoevsky proved it.
People don’t really want happiness.
They want the rush of self-destruction.
And modern women?
They’ve turned that addiction into an art form.
They’ll reject calm.
They’ll ruin order.
They’ll run from safety.
Not because you failed—
But because peace feels too empty for them.
So stop breaking yourself to convince her.
Stop burning your sanity to fuel her chaos.
Because the woman addicted to storms will never love your shelter.
And Dostoevsky was right:
Some souls don’t want saving.
They want suffering.
