Greater clarity on pain and suffering and the need for such catalyst

[Taralie Peterdaughter]

It is hard for me to integrate the idea that infinite intelligence would create a density with so much pain and suffering.

Can anyone help!! thanks.

Just a thought or two.  First, crating conditions to allow hardship here is the only way to allow others to offer help.  No suffering, no compassion and no helping.

Second, one aspect of this level of evolution is beginning to encompass the whole of the possibilities of Creation as self.  There's no way to embrace the pain and tragedy without being exposed to it.

Third, there is ample capacity here for suffering, to be sure, and so many humans are biased towards making that worse.  On the other hand, if we all could actually co-operate in a truly positive fashion, life here would be far less brutal, it seems to me.

I hope the material serves you well.  Welcome to these forums, TP.

 These are good points, thank you. But does it ever feel like an obscene game to you? I mean if infinite intelligence has all this power what is the point of playing such a game, just to know itself??? and why create more intense catalyst to "hurry" up the process for something with infinite time? I feel sickened by the process and resentful to any supreme designer. No, my new theory is that "god" isn't actually that powerful...it too has to succumb to its own mistakes, which is weird. But if "infinite/intelligence" did this on purpose I'm disgusted! I feel if I could get over this anger I would be a more spiritual person because I do sense that it gets in the way of my having faith.
