Many of us have lived relatively easy lives. And think it would be unjust for
God to let us suffer a while, since we are believers. But the Word makes it clear
there will be some suffering.
And those who "die" in Christ will be raised first, and together with those who
are alive, will be caught up together with the Lord!"
I had a freind who got electrocuted on a construction job. He said his
spirit jumped out, and he watched himself getting shocked.
An African woman spoke one time and said she was getting beaten for her
faith. But God took her spirit out of her, and she watched herself being
beaten, and was spared most of the pain.
Do you believe God can do that for you? Or will we get angry when the
suffering comes and curse God?

Dear Solomon R.: I DO believe God through his Greatest Teacher and the Partnership of the Holy Spirit CAN do that for us.

I am a Christian and Spiritually oriented person. My path is alive through "tight" relationships with both the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Many do not know. . ., but Jesus and the Holy Spirit can and DO teach something non-traditional religions have named Transcendence.

Will you bear with me, if I expand a picture for you to look upon and possibly contemplate?

The Crucifixion is looked upon as physical torture - to the degree that we have to turn away, and hold on to ourselves. Many learn to love Him by witnessing the pain aspect. Some love Him without dwelling upon it. The meaning of the Crucifixion is far greater than the seeming display of physical vulnerability and pain: Our vulnerability to each other and to our bodies.

The Crucifixion was undertaken by Him as the greatest learning tool He could use and teach by. After the people saw the ultimate physical abuse taking place - to an extent that leads to death - He then offered the Final Statement: What God Created. . . cannot be destroyed. The physical is perishable, but not what God Created. Notice. . .He reappeared in his physical image again, and remained in it until He desired to leave. Note: The physical image he appeared in contained a "hole" for the others to see, but the blood, the bruising, the torn and tattered flesh were all absent !

Inside of us, and coupled with our human Intellect is a thing called soul or spirit. Jesus and the Holy Spirit teach how to live through that - more than through the logic of the Intellect. They both SERVE us in this physical life - the Intellect and the Soul.

Jesus can also TEACH how to use our God-given soul or Spirit-Mind to block out or transcend the pains of the physical. He willingly teaches that WE ARE NOT VULNERABLE ; to each other, or to the human Intellect ! Not all of us become Masters as He did and master life. But, Jesus can teach level upon level of God's Thoughts and Knowledge to us - IF we choose to learn it, and ask for that.

Presently, I am working on that very thing. Transcendence and Detachment. To do this, you must have something to "go up against." Something to test against. I have experienced the inflictions of physical pain - and, according to His instruction, through my Mind, have learned to "banish" it. Many, many of us have learned this. Ghandi spoke of the horrifying beatings he received at the hands of his opposers. He was taken to the hospital more than once so bruised, bloodied and purpled that it was not understood how he bore the pain. He said, that although the body showed the infliction - he did not FEEL it ! We have no idea how powerful our souls or spirit-minds are. And the joy of tapping into its power. Many non-notable people, as you have mentioned, and now me too (!) have experienced the gifts of Spirit and some degree of Mastery over the physical. It's real.

When we are taught that after Ascension Jesus rose to rest and sit at the right hand of God and is no longer teaching on earth - we should be aware that there is a slight mis-perception in that. He DID go before our Creator. He was allowed to "speak" with Him. But, He was quickly placed in charge of the Sonship and ceaselessly and intensely teaches us through Mind-to-Mind. We receive His tutoring when we invite Him and then learn to hear his voice through our mind.

The Sons of Man (Us) are much more. . .than we appear to be. Something else Created our Minds.

I don't necessarily think it's god, I think that humans have the ability to disassociate in times of severe stress or pain.
