Reply #21: My God concept is different than this [View All]

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

in that I don't see God as a being apart and seperate from me. God is everything-the Only Being. Because of that, of course God is what we consider "bad" as well as that which we consider "good". Those terms are what we see solely from our own perspective. I see our lives as a great adventure, one that we co-create. Why do "bad" things happen to an individual? It is for them to figure out.

Case in point: A woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, has a double radical mastectomy. A horrible thing, right? According to that person, it was the right thing to happen to her--it shook her and her assumptions about her profession to the core. She is a doctor, and moved from traditional to holistic medicine. She says that because of her ordeal, she has greater compassion for her patients, and is willing to try not to patch up a person but try to help them heal on all levels.
