We are further along the path of enlightenment than we were yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. Life is an unfolding of the truth. Everything happens for a happen. The universe has our best interests in mind. We are not sinners, we are perfect beings, worthy of giving and receiving joy, love, and compassion.

I think you get out what you put in. We should live wholeheartedly, fully, and with love. I've only partially succeeded in doing that, and I've found that the strength and humility it would require to fully succeed are beyond the spiritual capacity I've known throughout my life.

I'm not at all of your opinion that we are here to learn, etc., and take umbrage at the insinuation that those people being bombed at the moment in say Syria have a unique purpose to fulfill.

I guess every pupil at the bottom oh his class believes that he isn't supposed to learn ... That will hurt.

Thanks for sharing this. I fully agree.

If we are not here to learn, then what do you believe we are here for?

Perhaps you need to expand your philosophy of life to allow for the possibility of individual suffering within a loving universe. This does not prevent us from feeling deep compassion for those who suffer. Unfortunately, we live on a planet of suffering. The best thing we can do is find our own centre of stillness and harmony, otherwise we are part of the problem, not the solution.

Peace.
