I've never encountered information that sheds light on pain of this nature. My own thoughts are few and vague.
Any one have any ideas?
As I interpret it, there is one example in the Ra material of an entity who experienced spiritual pain, Aleister Crowley:
Ra, 18:11 Wrote:This entity thus became very unhealthy, as you may call it, in a spiritual complex manner, and it is necessary for those with this type of distortion towards inner pain to be nurtured in the inner planes until such an entity is capable of viewing the experiences again with the lack of distortion towards pain.
The reason to this pain was:
Ra Wrote:This entity became, may we use the vibration sound complex, overstimulated with the true nature of things. This over-stimulation resulted in behavior that was beyond the conscious control of the entity. The entity thus, in many attempts to go through the process of balancing, as we have described the various centers beginning with the red ray and moving upwards, became somewhat overly impressed or caught up in this process and became alienated from other-selves. This entity was positive. However, its journey was difficult due to the inability to use, synthesize, and harmonize the understandings of the desires of the self so that it might have shared, in full compassion, with other-selves.
The spiritual pain is rare. Most of the times the pain is in emotional/mental complexes (34:6).
EDIT: Abraham Lincoln experienced spiritual pain too.
