The existence of suffering and evil can be reconciled by adopting Shakespeares idea of the World; "All the World's a stage and we are merely players". Alan Watts described it as an enormous cosmic drama. In a good drama you have to have everything - good people, bad people, happiness and bliss, pain and suffering. At the end of our lives, we have all played our part, whatever that may have been and again, using the drama analogy, everybody gets a round of applause at the end of the play - even Donald Trump! So, for everyone, at the end of your life the Divine Love is revealed to you, no matter what your part was. St Julian of Norwich, one of my favourite mystics said; "All will be well and all will be well, and all manner of things will be well"

Thank you Marc, and Rupert who is always such a delight. I just love your comments about Trump, Rupert. I don't think I have ever heard you be so less than perfectly charming about someone before. Wonderful discussion. Also, Rupert said he was old. I disagree; he just shines with joy, curiosity and perennial youthfulness, particularly in this session. 😍 (the game is pin the tail on the donkey)

As a therapist there’s a formula we may use as part of Radical Acceptance: Pain + non-acceptance = suffering. Pain + acceptance = ordinary pain.

DISTINGUISHING SUFFERING FROM PAIN, AND LIKEWISE, HAPPINESS FROM PLEASURE: To understand the nature of suffering, it is ABSOLUTELY imperative to first distinguish suffering from pain (and also, happiness from pleasure). There is a spectrum of pleasure and pain, with an extremely narrow neutral mid-point. Obviously, what constitutes a pleasurable or painful experience is dependent on an individual person’s unique preferences. Not everybody likes the taste of chocolate. The feeling of pleasure/pain does NOT, ultimately, come from any external stimulus, believe it or not. It is located entirely in the mind and/or the intellect. This is the reason why highly-advanced spiritual adepts are able to renounce practically all pleasure-seeking activities, content with consuming simple foodstuffs and with adequate sleep, and find continuous peace, happiness, and joy within themselves (“ātmarāma” or “sva-sthaḥ”, in Sanskrit). Furthermore, the adjudication of whether a certain experience is either pleasurable or painful for any particular person can VARY according to the context. For example, one may have enjoyed consuming dairy products as a child, but as a *vegetarian/vegan adult, find the taste of putrefied milk (cream, cheese, yoghurt, butter, etcetera) to be revolting. For one who is literally dying of starvation, the consumption of bitter melon or cactus leaves may seem to be rather pleasing to the senses, even though, in normal circumstances, they may be quite distasteful. *The term “vegetarian” is used literally here (that is, “one who subsists [exclusively] on vegetation”). THE THREE KINDS OF PLEASURE AND PAIN: There are THREE kinds of pleasure/pain: physical, psychological (i.e. mental/emotional/intellectual), and financial. For instance, consuming one’s favourite kind of fruit is physically pleasurable. Being hit on the head by a falling coconut - physical pain. Listening to a favourite piece of music is an example of psycho-emotional pleasure. Being angry at another person - psychological pain. Winning a game of chance (such as a lottery) is an example of financial pleasure. Being robbed of one’s cash or belongings - financial pain. The reason why financial pleasure or financial pain is not classified in the category of psychological pleasure/pain is because when a person experiences either a loss or a gain in his or her finances, it does not NECESSARILY result in a feeling of pleasure or pain. For example, in 1993, a violent criminal organization, known as the “Australian Federal Police”, literally stole a rather large sum of cash that I had laboriously collected, by conducting alms rounds as a monastic priest. However, upon being informed that my money was to be confiscated by that evil organization, I had absolutely no negative feelings whatsoever. I was perfectly at peace with the situation, something that surprised even myself! However, the loss of my funds was, by definition, painful in the sense that it decimated my bank balance, and I was forced to repeat the months of alms collection, in order to pay my bills and to fund my first pilgrimage to Bhārata (India). So, it was financially painful but not emotionally painful. THE THREE CAUSES OF PLEASURE AND PAIN: There are three origins or CAUSES of pleasure/pain: one’s own body/mind (“adhyātma”, in Sanskrit), other persons/animals (“adhibhūta”, in Sanskrit), and material nature (“adhidaiva”, in Sanskrit). Hopefully, these categories are self-explanatory. Some “suffer” pain from lack of money. Others “suffer” pain from an abundance of wealth. Some “suffer” pain from lack of food. Others “suffer” pain from an abundance of food. The quality of the “suffering” is different but the NATURE of the “suffering” is the same. OBVIOUSLY, in the previous paragraph, the term “suffer” is used in the stead of “experience”, because that is how the word is used in everyday parlance, in order to draw attention to the fact that pain can be due to an abundance of material opulence as well as a lack of material wealth.

Incidentally, I have prayed in prayer groups with regular experienced "prayer warriors." I became a seasoned prayer from praying and further associating with these people. When exercising prayers of petition, I noticed that if a person simultaneously concentrates on having an open heart and an unwavering mind, this concentration prepares the person to exist more in the universal ground of being in everyday life. Praying rosaries and litanies in this way prepares the prayer to positively affect others by their mere presence.

I think atheism is compatible with God the Father as the unmanifested Word (John 1)! That's why the Word was only the same as God in the beginning. After that the Word became manifested as God's "only begotten son", Christ which has created everything (again John 1). A word is changeless, like Brahman and a word is a string of information (atheism). The Father is infinite and Christ is always finite and (going to the Father as the truth and the way and the life).
