[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are specks of light floating in the great undulating river of light that flows through time.  (Jane Kenyon).  God is light and love.  God understands earthly pain (Jesus forged that connection of understanding through his Passion of physical death on the cross).  There is no doubt that horrible tragedies and painful events happen here on Earth.  Jesus taught us that he will help us bear it if we only ask him to take on the pain for us.  It really helps (or has helped me) to practice self care (taking time for things that improve my mental and physical health; for me, daily yoga practice, eating well, and getting a good 7 hours of sleep most nights) to get through painful times.  But mostly if something is really hurting in my life, I ask God to bear my pain.  Sounds weird but it helps.  I don’t believe in hell (except that there can be a state of separation from God that we choose through free will) but there is evil in the world.  Why doesn’t God change that?  No one knows, but I suspect this life is a crucible that refined our soul (that speck of light) so that when we die we emerge in that great river of light that undulates through time.[/quote]

Sounds like you developed your own religion that works for you. [/quote]
