Does anyone else think that those who suffer here on Earth will be rewarded in the after life? I like to think that God plans out the lives of every person on this Earth and that He knows whether or not people will go to Heaven. It is my belief that those who are suffering right now on Earth are currently in a test from God to see whether or not we are strong enough to make it in Heaven. So, with this belief I would like to tell everyone who is reading this to keep going strong. Days will be hard, days will be miserable, but the reward will be everlasting and amazing! Whether you believe it or not, God is always watching and looking over His little children so you all better be good =).

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Well, actually God is the universal all knowing activator or force that lies behind creation: us, the planet, the galaxies..the universes...almost beyond our fathom, but I feel that humans reflect that divine spark and that our suffering is a result of breaking karmic laws. You know, like in physics: for every action their is an opposite and equal reaction. Same holds true for us humans. We generate ideas, statements, actions, countries, wars,...and as a result of having evolved over 8 million lifetimes we continue to run like little gerbels on a wheel in a cage.
Doesn't sound fun does it...but if we take full responsibility for our actions, find a path of knowing (truth/action/spiritual undertaking vies a vie~ a guru like Jesus, or a Mahavatar Babaji, or a Moses, or Buddha, or some other TRUE incarnation of liberation) only then can be begin to see how each and everyone of us is connected to this giant never-ending wheel of incarnation.
We can achieve liberation: that's the good news, only the Piscean stronghold of man-made religious laws totally messed with the original laws as Jesus and other great souls profoundly offered to the world. We need to work towards that Christ consciousness, as I see it.
I recommend reading AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI by Paramahansa Yogananda.
It's used in all world religion courses on college campuses, but it's written so anyone can grasp the idea of how East meets West in terms of universal truth.
My goal: get off the freakin' gerbel wheel asap! If I suffer, it's because I have something to learn, but it's all a rather vast and mysterious dream~ even in the most painful of moments when we are so attached to our pain...I think most of us here can relate.
There are MANY sources of ideology on this Eastern perspective but thanks for letting me share mine for a time.
