Here is a heavy question I was asked by a client in relation to this blog and the book I am writing. If you have a question, please do not hesitate to ask or make a comment as I am always seeking interaction for my growth and yours.
If God is Perfect, then why is there pain and disease and birth defects and the like in a “perfect world”?
Firstly, I want to wish you love and understanding for your pain and sufferings you and your loved ones are going through. I do not want to be without understanding and empathy for our difficulties and grief. I do not want to blame you and I for the manifestation of suffering. Especially, when we are “in the fire”, we do not want to be told that it is for us to learn a lesson. That is toxic positivity. I want to bring love, empathy, understanding and healing for all of us that undergo heartbreak. I will describe my view on this question. Please have understanding for me as well.
God is only Love. God’s Love allows for choice. We have the amazing gift of free will. God cannot create anything less than Love. God does not create fear. God does not create disease or pain. God did not create a devil to give pain and suffering and there is no threat of burning in Hell for all eternity for those that make poor choices that hurt themselves or others. The Bible says perfect Love casts out all fear. Fear and Love cannot coexist. We create pain and fear. We choose this by seeing the misaligned consciousness around us as Truth. We have the power to change our experiences by choosing our thoughts and emotions on a minute-by-minute basis. The Universe is inherently loving and supportive. Suffering is not a reflection of a punitive or uncaring source, but rather a call to realign with the natural state of well-being. We can move into a higher state of consciousness from our difficulties. Suffering is a catalyst for growth and transformation, urging us to awaken to our True Selves and the perfect Love of the Divine.
We create our own reality through our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Pain, disease, and other forms of suffering are often the result of negative emotions, resistant energy, and disconnection from our true, aligned state. Divine energy is only Love. Our Creator, which is the energy in all things, is Infinite and always supportive. Human beings often experience suffering when they are out of alignment with their higher self and their true desires for Unity. The challenges of life (like pain, disease, or birth defects) are not signs of divine punishment, but rather opportunities for growth, learning, and expansion in spiritual awareness. Pain and suffering are not punishments or signs of a lack of love, but expressions of our beliefs and energetic misalignment used by us as feedback mechanisms to become more like Christ. The experience of suffering can be a result of unconscious patterns and misalignment with one’s higher self or Divine Truth. This can be brought via karma from past lives as well. By shifting our energy to positive, high-vibration thoughts, we can heal and experience less suffering. Through spiritual growth and a conscious shift in our perception, we can transform our experience of reality. We can let go of old beliefs and allow more of the Divine Energy of Love to flow into our lives. We are always able to choose anything we desire and we are in control of how we interpret and respond to life’s challenges.
So, suffering is not imposed by a higher power, but is a result of personal beliefs, resistance, or misalignment with Divine Love. Suffering is often tied to fear, which is seen as the root of separation from the Divine. Fear creates a distorted perception of reality, leading to pain and disease. By releasing fear and aligning with the truth of one’s Divine nature, individuals can transcend suffering. Pain and disease arise from living in a lower vibrational state, disconnected from one’s True Self. This misalignment with our perfect Creator is when we focus on negative thoughts or emotions. Those emotions create resistance rather than being in flow, which manifests as pain, disease, or challenging circumstances. By shifting focus to positive thoughts and emotions, individuals can realign with the flow of well-being. Healing comes through awareness, alignment, and shifting one’s vibration to a more loving and positive state. The challenge of pain and suffering isn’t a contradiction to Divine Love. It is part of the human experience we have created from the beginning of time from our separation from Divine Perfection. God’s love is always present. We must become more like our Perfect Creator through alignment with our True Vibration that is inside all of us for our own healing and growth.
Pain and suffering are part of the human experience, but are not the ultimate reality. They arise from the illusion of separation from the Divine. We have always been in Unity, but we have believed lies that we are not. Those lies are from fear. By recognizing this illusion and aligning with the truth of the Oneness of all, individuals can overcome suffering. Our world is polarized. There is good and bad, truth and lies, left and right, up and down, wellness and sickness and the list is unending. This contrast gives us the beautiful opportunity to become fully realized as a Christ ourselves. The polarization helps us refine our abilities to find balance and a middle road of Understanding. It gives a reason to choose to tune our vibration from low to high. All of this involves the wonderful gift of free will and choice. This power to choose allows us to hone our energies and intentions to be like that of a Christ or Buddha.
