[continued]

A lot of this* sprang from the question{,} many years ago: how can God allow Human suffering, if he is the God of Love? The only possible answer that I could see is that when the sufferers reach God, they as it were 'forgive' (or understand)** their experiences because the experiences are seen as a form of illusion in the light of the reality that is their Union with God. From that followed the question: Why does this happen at all? As God was the only pre-existent factor, the answer had to be found within God and the Quality of God.

*[See last six previous entries, from [Redbook4:85-86][19871003:1650]{Angels}[3rd October 1987], &c.]

**There is an implication that Love, Understanding, and Forgiveness are at root all one Quality – Wisdom as well perhaps; the Quality being Love. <930429>
