I like the quote….one “steps out of suffering by raising consciousness more than that of the level of the consciousness that created the suffering”…. That means that those who caused the sufferring in an individual (i.e., victim) can’t “see” what they have caused by their lack of consciousness, and that to heal/recover from the suffering, the sufferrer (i.e., victim) needs to realize that those who perpetrated upon him/her will never get it.. It is in this existence the sufferer is given a ‘gift’ that transcends that of remaining in the rut and feeling like a victim. To use that power…. to rise into a higher level of consciousness, it is better than forgiveness… it is a higher state of well-being. Is that it?

The Bible alone explains the cause and reason of human suffering.
Man is responsible for most of it for his rebellion against God. the Bible also
says that God allows some suffering so that he can be glorified. Need an
example? Look at the life of Helen Keller.

Dear Doctor Chopra,

I am very proud of you and for you, for bringing the prescription drug abuse suffering to the world’s attention. I pray for the highest good for all concerned. It seems to have become an
out-of-control problem in today’s society. You stood up for the truth, and I honor you.
Michael suffered so much from this abuse of certain doctors, as have so many more. Now, it will be Michael’s doctors and, probably many more celebrity doctors who hand out these kinds of drugs, to live out their karma, as these celebrities have. This is suffering. My love and prayers go out to Michael’s children and his family, and may his children always be protected and loved.

Sincerely,

Maureen Watkins

I understand what you are saying here because I have pondered and studied the question of why evil exists, and why people suffer for a long time. But what do you say to a person who, let’s say, is buried under eight feet of rubble in Italy, or is swept away by a tsunami in Sri Lanka? “You wouldn’t be suffering right now if you could change your perception of the eight feet of rubble?” There must be something more expressive one could say to them and their families than this. Or direct “them” to some texts that will help a person begin to shift their awareness and live a life free from suffering. It just seems that your answer is much too brief and dismissive without compassionately attempting to direct toward a path of understanding. The confusion and struggle so deeply apparent in the writer’s questions seem to become nothing more than a springboard for a general statement about changing consciousness, even condescending. This is so counter to my experience of your work – which is one of the major sources of direction in my own struggle with these questions. I would hope you could give the writer a fuller, more embracing answer. Thank you.

In an interview regarding Michael Jackson, you spoke of a paper that was done in Psychosomatic Mediine, in which it was stated: ‘…that Children who have been either physically or verbally abused will go on to develop autoimmune diseases like lupus and vitiligo …’ and you further touched on the reason being along the lines of – a person not realising who was then friend or foe.

I didn’t get the complete quote and I would like to hear it again in its entirely. Could you please speak to this a little bit more or possibly give the month, title and author of this paper, that appeared in the journal? It may very well have changed my life, already. Thank you.

I believe Kabballah has a nice explaination of why we must suffer.
