Miscellaneous
In today’s episode, I’m going to attempt to answer a common question: Why did God let this happen? By asking a different question: What if God doesn’t owe us anything? What if we’re here by mutual agreement with God, to have amazing and unexpected experiences? Let's figure out how to have an expanded version of Spirit, God, Higher Power, that supports each of us in all we do, have, feel, and experience. Show Notes: Comparing traditional religion to a modern view of "godness" and spirituality. Learn a new explanation for "when bad things happen to good people." How labeling things good and bad or right and wrong can increase suffering and confusion. What it can mean to truly believe we are souls having a human experience. Several quotes in support of using difficult experiences to discover more of our true selves. So what if this Godness is more like a cheerleader than a helicopter parent, an energy who supports us humans in trying anything we want, regardless of the outcome? What if this Godness respects our humanity to the fullest and knows with 100% certainty that even if we face death, the most final act, that we all will face, that we will then return to the divine and we can incarnate and try again? What if this Godness supports our complete and total freedom to explore the depths of who we are and what we want to try? What if this Godness considers nothing a failure but instead just another outcome? Thank you so much for listening. If you'd like to share your comments with me, I have several options for you!
