If I may, I would like to share a personal experience with you. When I was young, 15 to be exact, I had a very lengthy surgery. It was nearly 15 hours long and I had nearly lost my life during the surgery, I bled out as they say. I was dead for about 5 to 8 minutes, depending on who you ask. I didn't see a light, I did leave my body and did tell people later and Dr's. where they were, what they were doing, and so on. That experience changed the way I believed. I still remember things about it and the one thing I took away was this: Free will starts before we come here. Dreams are indications of things, not always exact, but an indication of what will happen or what has happened. I know I came here for a purpose, I can do nothing but fulfill that purpose. I was prepared before I came, and God does give the strength to fulfill that purpose in life. I do have dreams, some have been dead on. Some I had to figure out. Some were only part right. But my point is, God guides you in your dreams if you listen. It is the only time you are not doing the talking, so that is a great time for Him to get a word in edge wise. Even in prayer, I am doing all the talking. We are not always to know the ending of the mystery in this life, we knew it before we came, and God gave us what we needed to carry the burden of the mystery. I don't believe that God dishes out good or bad to people, I do believe that we come here to become purer or stronger or better people, and we do that here in Earth School. This is where we learn. Sometimes we come here to help others learn. We make tremendous sacrifices in order for another soul to learn or be tested, but we do this in love for the other person or person's. If we live in a World of good and evil, someone will be tested as to whether or not they will commit evil, so there has to be a victim. No? So does God force us to be the victim against our Free Will? No. He is Love, and we love also. We come to help each other learn. If I see the World in this way, I judge no one or nothing, it is for a reason I will not know until I leave here. "Seat of the Soul" is a great book by Gary Zukoff, and it is said much better by him. Sorry so long a post.... This is not to make anyone a believer, but just what I took away from that experience. JMO....
