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

[yossarian]

I am struggling with this response.  To me this is exactly the problem with this kind of thinking.  That the animal is fine and its just my interpretation of suffering that is suffering.  I am not going to throw in the towel on my own sense of real life human compassion and empathy to justify the need for suffering as a catalyst for evolution by "God".  No, in this world, on this level of 3-D experience compassion and suffering are very very real.    So Ra was referring to the Pure ones.  I am not a pure one. I take that to mean I am not able yet to hold enough faith in my heart to feel okay with the fact that so much suffer.  However I don't think "pure" ones are okay with suffering!! It seems to me that Jesus, Buddha (classic examples)  were very very compassionate.  I think this quote by Ra talk more to the suffering a "pure"one is receiving, not to overuse the classic example of Christ on the cross.  But how he did not hate the ones who perpetrated the pain against him.  He in fact opened his heart to them and asked God to forgive them "for they know not what they do"......

You seem to be suggesting that "seeing the Creator in everything" is equivalent to "not having compassion"

Did you get that idea from me?

Seeing the Creator in everything is exactly equal to having infinite compassion for everything. You can't have one without the other. They are identical states.
