An NDE on Love vs. Why?

- NDErs return to their bodies with one undeniable truth - that we're meant to live our lives learning to love, to fulfill the great command to Love God with our whole heart, and one another as ourselves. Yet we often fill our days with trivial and/or profound questions from our brains asking, "Why?" This NDEr reports on the incredible mistake he made.

I have had a simular struggle and your sharing has been very helpful. Thanks so much.
Thank you Lee❤
I could listen to your voice all day !
Your kindness radiates from you and I look forward to Monday’s to hear what you have to offer.
Much Love to All 💜☮️
Thank you Lee 😊
Thank you, this is a wonderful NDE!
I have been listening to you for years. As I have been struggling with this, wanting to know why? All the suffering of humans, animals, destruction of the environment, exploiting every living being on earth, exploiting earth, it’s getting too much to bare all the suffering…
This is very helpful.
My gratitude to you for your show.
5:50 👍🏼❤️🙏🏼
This is something I struggle with a lot as well: why are we here? What is the purpose of living in this world? I really struggle to make sense of it, especially being raised in a religion that says that the only purpose of life in this world is to earn a life in the next world. God loves us so much that he put us in a world full of suffering and traps and pitfalls and demonic influences so that we can somehow find our way back to him before we die, and if we fail, we will spend eternity in endless torment. In order to make God sound less like an abusive parent, we’ve turned him into a negligent one, as if that were any better. I have heard it said that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference, yet when it comes to God, the utter indifference towards his children who fail to find him or live up to his standards is treated as the greatest act of love. To me, it renders creation itself the most extreme act of cruelty if the Creator knew from the beginning that some (if not most) of his creatures would end up suffering eternally. No Christian apologist has ever been able to make it make sense to me. All it does is leave me wondering why.
Where can we find the background song?
At time slot 14:50 He states that "All religions are made made " Do you agree with his assertions ?😇 Note however that he does believe in God or Source energy ?🕶
I’m guessing you meant “man-made” or “human-made” in your question. In any case, I do think most religions begin with a kernel of spiritual truth and wind up with a whole cornfield full of rules designed to limit personal mystical insight. Generations of theologians and politicians can’t resist piling on.
Take Christianity, for example:
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He [Jesus] said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. ' This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
How clear and to the point! If that practice of love would only take hold, all the world’s differences could be resolved.
Instead, the human community is scattered among hundreds of exclusive religions and denominations. Just check out the Vatican, Westminster Abby, Mecca, Jerusalem, etc., and note how the universality of love gives way to self-imposed differences. As an extreme, follow the news on Gaza v. Israel - yet another war between genetically identical people mired in religious differences that grew out of the same root. So much for the spiritual offspring of Abraham!
Of course, self-imposed religious divisions are not limited to Abraham-rooted religions. Struggles divide within Hindu, Buddhist, and pagan faiths, as well.
Despite its problems, however, religions do provide a way for practicing an enclosed version of compassion, and we can learn something from that. After all, we are here to practice merging back into love as best we can, following our earthly exposure to individuality. So, the more open and affirming a faith’s policies can become, the closer its members can get to where Jesus’ original commandment intended us to be. Just remember, for better or worse, we are studying love and compassion here for the big adventure that follows.
