We readily accept that all human made items come with rules or<br \/>\nlaws&#8230;.one must fill the radiator so the engine does not over heat.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to do so will cause us to \u201csuffer\u201d a seized engine. In that<br \/>\nlight the Grand Creator has built rules into its creation.One of the big<br \/>\nones is that what we humans think secretly in our heads,say out loud with<br \/>\nour mouths and do with our arms are legs will eventually come back to us<br \/>\njust like a boomerang.<\/p>\n<p>That rigid law (vengeance is mine sayeth the lord) which<br \/>\nassures perfect justice has many names, the law of sowing and reaping,<br \/>\nthe law of consequence, the law of cause and effect, the law of Karma.<br \/>\n(perhaps put those words into a search engine) or do a deep dive by<br \/>\nreading from page 147 in Rosicrucian Cosmo Conception by Max<br \/>\nHeindel a free PDF.<\/p>\n<p>The word Lord is synonymous the the word law and the word<br \/>\nvengeance means to return, to get even. Rebirth and past lives are also a<br \/>\nhidden law and so it follows that if I caused harm by inventing destructive<br \/>\nitems in my head, distorting truth with my mouth and harming nature,<br \/>\nanimals and people with my arms and legs, then true or heavenly justice<br \/>\nwill arrange for my nasty behaviour to return to me in another life. That is<br \/>\nfair isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Thus meeting our past life self is the primary cause of our<br \/>\nhuman suffering. Adam had to work for the first time ever and Eve had to<br \/>\nsuffer during birth for the first time ever after they both chose to ignore<br \/>\nthe Creator&#8217;s one rule. Our pains get worse when we continue to willingly<br \/>\nignore the Grand Creator&#8217;s rules.<\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">When the English forced their wants on the East Indians by using<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">superior weapons that action was recorded in the Heavens and so<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">sooner or later the suffering caused to others by the British will return to<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">them. Is that happening now?<br \/>\n<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">What of America, that has bombed its way across the world<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">inflicting destruction and hurt, will it be able to avoid Divine Justice, is that<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">what is happening now? The idea of repentance is to see the error of<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">one&#8217;s ways and then to intentionally begin to change them into the good,<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">tough mind work indeed. Should we think about the God&#8217;s Golden RULE<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">often?<br \/>\n<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">We either do that or suffer more. That implies that on a daily<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">basis we could set aside some time from screen gazing etc to review our<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">day, \u201c was I nice or nasty today? Did I invest in weapons, or drugs, yell at<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">my kids?\u201d When we think ONLY of own own welfare (pleasure) and<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">ignore the welfare of all OTHER living beings, e.g. soil, air, water, plants,<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">animals and humans, culturally we call that condition sinning, selfishness,<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">egoism, egotism, self love etc.<br \/>\n<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">When we freely choose to include the welfare of others in our<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">minds then human culture names that that condition selflessness or pure<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">love. We are all free to choose between the good (upliftment) and evil<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">(harm or destruction). Every choice comes with a consequence which<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">under the law of return assures that true justice will be done, eventually.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHY DO WE HUMAN BEINGS SUFFER<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-157270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=157270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157270\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=157270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=157270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=157270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
