I can't solve the riddle of existence but I can shift a few squares in the rubix cube.
If we remove the idea of God being a him/ her or a being at all and rather think of energy- ever flowing, in each living thing, in you and me as the warmth that we feel when you get a hug. If The whole entity of that energy were some how conscious and had purpose in flow ; what if that is God, the universe, the divine ?
All the same word- "God" tends to give us the notion of an angry being up somewhere with a magnifying glass over us burning us like ants. 🐜
Emotions, pain, suffering , anger, hate ... would then be something that happens when we separate ourselves from that flow; whether they come just from our internal self or if a situation motivates them.
And boy are they REAL! We feel them deeply. They can cause physical discomfort or pain, even and not limited to mental destruction and confusion.
As humans, we tend to be creatures of habitual process. Attention is attention- we Require it as human beings. What kind of attention are we ACCUSTOMED to receiving ?
What attention do we subliminally seek because it is what we're used to receiving ?
Yes we can become addicted or accustomed to receiving pain as our form of attention.
Or, do we choose to become adapted to Love; incessantly aware of any time that we separate ourselves from it and instantly return to its natural harmonious flow.
