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

Yes, but I think that person was implying that your post made it seem like you weren't compassionate.  The way you wrote your point of view, that they were responding to,it just didn't sound compassionate, it sounded like you were aloof and using all sorts of new agey justifications for being above the suffering.  You even said yourself you were there a few years ago but now you were beyond it you've moved into your indigo ray or whatever!  I mean come on! Nobody gets beyond this stuff.  Buddha taught the first lesson is to realize that to live is to suffer.  Also Jesus died on the cross and his last words were "God why have you forsaken me?"  showing even in the last moments Jesus was deeply questioning.

Thank you. I really appreciate your feedback.

I didn't say I was "beyond suffering" I said I was beyond a specific kind of existential despair and outrage with the creator for the existence of suffering. I'm not enlightened, but I did move from a place of being upset about this specific issue of "how could the creator create pain" to "oh.... now I get it"

I will work on my approach that appears to lack compassion.
