| The evidence from Near Death Experiences paints a very rational picture of reality:
1) We live lifetimes in order to gain experiences and grow.
2) The combination of good and bad that we experience during our lifetimes is important to our personal growth - even the really bad suffering.
3) It is temporary, out of the unbelievably long period of your total existence, a few (or a few thousand) lifetimes with suffering in them is not such a horrible thing. To be fair, suffering sucks really bad while you are experiencing it, but with time and distance from the experience, it is not so bad.
4) You chose to enter this lifetime, knowing that suffering could occur. You did so to further your own development.
5) God is, in fact, a god of love. The suffering you experience during your lifetimes helps you understand the importance of possessing love and caring for others.
Do all things with love. |
