Hence a child who is beaten to death by a parents may have been, in another life, the parent who did the beating.
That's pretty deep and I think very hard for many to get their grasp around that concept. In fact, it took me a couple of reads to let that thought digest. I actually believe in karma so this makes sense to me. I should definitely read up on this topic more!
We suffer in several ways - either created in our own mind (fear, anxiety, unhappiness, worry, stress), or biological suffering. The mind suffering is simply that - we have created this suffering - our mind has created it and it defines who we think we be. Why are you afraid of something, why are you so anxious? All of this is generated by the mind. Biological suffering is just that - our body is a biological thing - it gets sick, it gets disease, it gets well again, it dies. God, the Source, the Divine...whichever your flavor doesn't "decide"anything. Your body is biological - you care for it, you don't care for it.....it's a product of your gene pool and how well or not well you've taken care of it - just like a plant or animal. By choosing to call it suffering it's given a negative connotation....it simply "is".
This is a first, too. A very scientific approach.
Man, I love how I'm getting all sorts of intelligent answers!! It confuses me even more but all these ideas should definitely be considered!!
