Why Do We Experience Pain, Suffering, and Death?

The answer to that question is one of the mysteries of the illusion of Time. Such conditions did not always prevail among the entities who now inhabit Earth. Once there was another planet in your solar system, the fairest and most radiant of all planets. That planet was the original home of Earthlings. In their native home, they knew no pain, sorrow, suffering, sickness or death. But in the glory and wonder of their world they grew proud and arrogant. They made war among themselves and finally turned against the Great Giver of Life. Ultimately they destroyed their own planet which today exists only as a sterile and barren ring of asteroids and debris in the solar system. In order that those entities might gain understanding, compassion, and brotherly love they were born into the animalistic, material evolution of a lesser planet, Earth. Suffering, sorrow, frustration, and death became their teacher... their destiny and salvation. In the illusion of Time and through repeated births and deaths each entity slowly and painfully evolves spiritually toward its former glorified state of divinity. Eventually, all the entities of Earth will again attain their lost heritage. They will have learned understanding, compassion, and true love for God and their fellows.

The ways of God are immutable and apparent only to those who have spiritual discernment. In the illusion of Time, all things will be fulfilled in their proper hour. Mankind will survive Armageddon and awaken to a new more glorious day of fellowship and honest brotherly love. In the dawning great New Age of Earth all will forget their bitter hurts and build constructively together upon the solid foundation of the Brotherhood of Man.
