I love all people for the sake of God, that God did create us all. That if God can forgive all human errors, why do i need to focus on the horrible actions people can do? I'm not those people, there's no way for me to know how/why they function the way they do. Unless they're mentally disabled, they KNOW what they're doing, to some extent. Trials shape the spiritual progress of everyone on this earth. This is the only plane of existance in which these chances for progress are possible. Some people grow from their refusal to give in to power, wealth, and greed. Others succumb to it. Some people realize, eventually, the true nature of these tests and the true nature of these people. Ohters wil go their whole lives without feeling empathy for anyone.<BR/><BR/>so, with that in mind, i've always wondered what i would say if someone asked me "so if you love everyone, what about hitler/saddam/insert'evil'being here...?"<BR/><BR/>And that's just the problem: how to reply without seeming cold and 'unhuman', because in society there is a certain ethic awareness that the general populace has.That it is wrong to kill millions, hundreds, even one person(s). Helping people to understand their connectivity with the other souls around them, whether they like them or not, isn't an easy thing to do.<BR/><BR/>In the past i have replied saying i feel that, not only is God all forgiving, but that he created all things 'from the same dust'. I continue explaining that i believe the soul is the only thing to go to the next world, which is neither heaven nor hell. It is simply where we go next. it is a realm of the spirit a 'kingdom of glory', and how close you are to God depends on how you lived your life here and what choices you made throughout it. The 'good' you do, the 'striving to be an example for humankind', the 'striving to be close to God', the 'loving all of creation'... all of that goes with you. The animal nature, the side to us that resists the learning of our true spiritual realities, is what stays with the earth, because it is of the earth. If someone does nothing but horrible things all their lives then are they going to be close to God in the next world? I'd think not (although one's relationship with God is theirs alone, so who's anyone to say anything about anyone elses spiritual achievements), but when we do go to the next world, we WILL see that everyone has a soul and that everyone has a certain capacity of realization. So the important thing is to not focus on why these other people aren't doing good things. Because maybe it's the best they can do, as sad as it sounds. What you should focus on in your own lives is doing the best you can for your own spiritual progression and helping others to do the same. Because that's really what matters the most: human brotherhood and the spiritual growth of mankind as a whole. If everyone was perfect, what would be the point of this life? Although, personally, i'd rather be the one suffering than the one inflicting it.<BR/><BR/>Good luck explaining your ideas to the mormons tonight.<BR/><BR/>~lauAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10994567.post-1129882964953508772005-10-21T01:22:00.000-07:002005-10-21T01:22:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
