Dear Hilary and rest of list,
I think this is very interesting, that's
why I want to add my two Pfennigs on it.
The problem of the pain and suffering in the
world seen by anyone's viewpoint and the
contradiction b/n and the idea of
Oneness or an absolute benevolent and loving
god / goddess is a great problem of spirituality
and religion indeed.
In Christian theology this is called the
problem of evil, pointing to the question that
if God is all knowing and all loving, how can
the amount of pain and suffering exist in this
world.
This is as I'm sure you know one a question
which has caused considerable debate and
strife in Christianity over the centuries.
The same question can be posed in
connection with any non dual teaching.
How can one say all is "where it's supposed
to be" and ppl are suffering ?
This has been debated to great length in this
and other fora.
As I see, it is up to each and everyone to find out.
Giving someone else the answer or taking the
answer from someone else's mouth doesn4t quite
work (for some but not for all).
I guess it's a living koan, the central question
for humanity and consciousness to try and
resolve. :)
I'm just gabbering on about this, because for me
personally, the awakening of Kundalini
was the start of an attempt at resolving the
question.
For six weeks I had left leg pains and when ppl
said they were caused by lower chakra problems,
I didn't believe that to be the case.
One day I was given the message that something
was to start up at 6 pm, so I'd better get home
from work in time.
Again, I didn't believe and so was still at work
at 6. But then something was definitely
starting up and I dropped everything and went home.
Still resisting, I sat down in front of the Playstation machine and played
a silly videogame for about 10 mins
(what a thing to do, huh ?) :)
But then I was almost forced to go to bed
and what I hadn't expected happened,
seeing what I interpret as the Biblical
God, not as a presence but maybe as a
symbol from the subconscious being brought
up through long time's questioning
and wondering.
In this life I have been an atheist since the
age of 7 but that was resolved in the course of
30 mins.
It wasn't even evangelical, it was just an
answer to long held questions.
Of course, afterwards, parts of the questions
do remain, but some things have definitely
changed.
And consciousness has been immersed in the
infinite energy where there are no questions
only one long answer.
I don't have any glib answers,
just want to say that the question is
important.
:)

Amanda.
