Peace enquirer,
Good questions, and heavy ones to discuss them all at once, Let me start today with the cancer and later to other issues.
I am a believer in ETERNAL life, so DEATH in my view is a shear transformation. I do not see LIFE as a limited timespan and therefore any cause beyond our reach wich causes its termination is accepted. Understand me correctly LIFE is the preciouse time given to us to GROW our SOUL. It is NOT given to have a good time or to have a mighty long vacation. It HAS a purpose and then the transformation will come. How that will come, by natural death or cancer or... It will come. When the unavoidable death comes, I will celeberate it as the DIVINE moment, as the moment of birth was.
For Now
Peace,

Peace alpha97. I too believe in eternal life. I just wonder how a supposedly all-powerful being would teach children a lesson in spiritual growth by letting them go through cancer and horrendous pain. shock shock Why not let them go straight to heaven with no pain? Or teach/test us adults in a less painful way?
Peace all. -
Peace enquirer,
Stop wondering my brother.
It is all about VANTAGE point. The point from which one views the reality.
When we can evolve our vantage point, our consciousness evolves.Humans used to think that sun rotates around earth, because that was what they saw. Nowadays people still see the same thing, but their VANTAGE POINT is changed. They understand now that what they see is an ILLUSION and the reality beyond it is all the way around.
By correcting their vantage point, they can realize that earth rotates around sun.
Once the death is believed as the ending of life, then the vantage point will see the whole existence as a impersonal silly game.
Once the adversity and pain is believed to be the consequence of a random happening in a dead existence then one can see the whole as a sad accident with no point to it.
I believe that the existence has a very clear purpose and intention, so all that exists has a function. These functions are made of fields consisting of two contradicting poles.
Blessing of Love grows through Hate.
Blessing of Light grows through darkness.
Blessing of Peace grows through War.
Blessing of intelligence grows through ignorance.
Blessing of Good grows through Evil !!
Distancing Satan in our hearts brings us to the kingdom of GOD. So existence of Satan is a blessing.Those who do not see the blessing of adversity, will miss their possible chance to grow. They will keep constantly choosing for the easy way and what deviates from it will be called suffering.
I believe that from the highest possible vantage point which overlaps all the others, one would only see the existence of the DIVINE.For now
Peace,

Peace alpha97. I accept some points of your post,but i believe you havent answered satisfactorily how an all-powerful god lets intense evil occur just for the benefit of learning and/or a test? If we stop wandering/enquiring then we may miss out on new knowledge and understandings. I believe we should know god by direct experience/questions and not by belief/witholding questioning.
Peace all.
