A Passing Thought

a great quote comes to mind from the movie Bruce Almighty (funny place to get a spiritual quote) "In order for god to paint this masterpeice, he has to use some cool colors (cool of course describing the darker side of the color spectrum such as blue and purple). To me this means that in God understands and accepts that there is going to be suffering in the world.... that is part of the overall meaning of life. The Bad contrast the Good in life.

Imagine you are a spirit in heaven praising God, and God comes up to you and says "listen my child, i have created a place that is far diffrent from this heaven we are in. It is a place of suffering and torments of all kind, a place that is capable of true evil, but what you will come to realize is that because of how evil this place can be you can exprience true happines through contrast. Because you will have the chance to constantly overcome trials and tribulations your spirit, your soul will grow or deminish depending on the decisions you make". You look at God, happy to have this oppurtunity to get closer to him simply because he created you and you say "of course father, i should have no problem making the right decisions at this new place you speak of, because i know your existence and love. and God looks at you and says, "you wont understand this now, but i am going to take away your memory of me and this place, and your true purpose for being sent to earth. the only thing i am going to give you is an extreme curiosity and a very tiny feeling that there is something more to life.... this will get you started on finding the truth". "why god" you say......."because if you had all the anwsers when you got to earth, you wouldn't have any need to look, and your soul wouldn't have the chance to grow".

WE ARE NOT MEANT TO HAVE THE ANWSWERS, WE ARE MEANT TO SEARCH FOR THEM. ONCE YOU FIGURE THAT OUT YOUR JOURNEY CAN BEGIN.
