The purpose for human suffering and hardship is to lead people to the Christ Consciousness which is the mystery of God within human beings.
The reason that God does not intervene to prevent bad things from happening, is because to do so, would interfere directly with human spiritual and physical development. An example of this principle can be found when environmentalists refuse to interfere with nature so that evolution can continue unabated.
Although God does not wish catastrophes, natural disasters, and other bad things to occur, God will allow them to occur for the purpose of instructing humanity. It is because humanity is not in tune with nature because of war and environmental transgressions that these things occur.
War exists everywhere in nature. The world is a literal combat zone where survival of the fittest is law. Viruses invade our bodies and antibodies kill them. We are constantly at war against insects destroying our crops and invade our homes. Because we, as humans, are at the top of the food chain, we slaughter all kinds of plants and animals for food and clothes.
At times, a country declares war against other countries which threaten its national interests. Hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural catastrophes unmercifully kills multitudes of people and destroys billions of dollars worth of property. Some day in the future, the world will in danger of being destroyed by a killer asteroid or comet. Ultimately, the whole universe might end the same way it began - with a violent explosion of unimaginable destruction.
NDE testimonies describe
an incredibly violent act by God resulted in the creation of the universe and all the acts of violence that followed. An infinitely massive explosion unleashed by God led to unimaginable chaos, destruction and fireballs of incredible proportions. After eons of time, the chaos began to subside and harmony began - the heavenly bodies were born.
"I saw that the Big Bang is only one of an infinite number of Big Bangs creating Universes endlessly and simultaneously. The only images that even come close in human terms would be those created by supercomputers using fractal geometry equations." (Mellen-Thomas Benedict)
While it is true that love is always the best teacher, war can also result in divine revelations for the learning and soul growth of humanity. Near-death insights reveal how our greatest mistakes can be our greatest teachers
It is not enough to merely focus on the cross of Jesus and the divinity within him. Jesus taught people to "take up their own crosses" and follow his example and way. A person whose higher self has overcome his lower self will then become spiritually "awakened" and a spiritual "resurrection" will take place. The person will then begin to manifest the human-divine unity that Jesus did.
The liberation of humanity is when the "devil" (the delusion of separation and self-will) is then "cast into the abyss" (self-will is suppressed from consciousness by the divine will). The result will be "heaven on Void" (divine awareness within humanity).
The story of human evolution is the story of the struggle of the human spirit in overcoming the animal flesh. It is the Bible story, from Genesis to Revelation, concerning the fall and rise of the human spirit. It is paradise lost and paradise found again.
Jesus knew he had to die on the cross to fulfill his mission. His mission was to demonstrate to humanity how to practice love through self-sacrifice in devotion to others and by overcoming self so that our divine nature can be manifested.
Adolf Hitler was responsible for unleashing a global war and Holocaust never before witnessed in history. We think of Hitler as the personification of evil, the devil incarnate, a monster of hideous proportions, and we assume he is now burning in hell for eternity.
We practically deny his humanity and demonize him. But this is one of the characteristics that makes Hitler so horrifying - he was a human being. He knew certainly knew love because he much has been written about his deep love for his mother. Millions of Germans loved him. But the question concerning Hitler's Holocaust is not, "Where was God?" but "Where was man?"
So we cannot blame God for such actions, even though NDE testimonies reveal all human beings are a part of God:
Within every human being is perfect love. That is our core - this love, this perfection, this God-ness." (Jayne Smith)
"God is within us and we are an inseparable part of God. We are perfect love as a creation of God. We and God are one - Creator and created." (Linda Stewart)
"We must stop trying to become God because God is becoming us.. We are the human part of God.. God is expanding through us.. God is exploring Self through us in an infinite Dance of Life by every way imaginable, in an ongoing exploration through every one of us, through every piece of hair on our head, through every leaf on every tree, through every atom." (Mellen-Thomas Benedict)
"We were conceived in love spiritually, and love is the center of our beings. It is the energy of our souls, the spark of our divine nature. Being made of love, we cleave to it and seek it in all that we do. When we do not have it, or when we have lost it, we grieve. Its presence or absence colors our every action. It is life. It is happiness. It is salvation itself." (Betty Eadie)
Try to imagine what Hitler's life review must have been like. In the light of complete love and understanding, Hitler would suddenly realize his true nature as perfect love. He would then become every victim of his atrocities and feel all their pain. He would see perfectly how all his thoughts and actions had an impact on the entire universe. Although he made such monumental errors, he certainly learned monumental lessons from his life review.
One might even wonder if Hitler learned more from his life review than any other human being. We can only speculate how horrible the negative aspects of his life review must have been. It may have been too unbearable for one man to endure.
From big mistakes come big lessons; and it is clear that Hitler made very big mistakes leading to big lessons, not just for himself, but for all of humanity. It should be clear to us how God permitted Hitler to make these mistakes for the purpose of instructing humanity. Near-death testimonies reveal how God loves everyone unconditionally including Hitler. So we too must love Hitler unconditionally although not what he has done. We know God's infinite mercy extends even to him and that someday Hitler will join the choir in heaven just like the rest of us.
The following NDE testimonies reveal God allows big mistakes to occur for the sake of learning big lessons:
"Everyone goes to the same place. This includes Billy Graham, Hitler, and Jeffery Dahmer." (Mac Wright)
"Mistakes are an acceptable part of being human. We are to make all the mistakes we want. It is how we learn." (Rev. Howard Storm)
"There really is no sin as it is known in the world. The only thing that has any meaning in the spirit world is what we think. The very core of our being is perfect love and light." (Jayne Smith)
"There is no evil in any human soul. It is the lack of love that distorts people. We are designed by God to self-correct, just like the rest of the universe. No one is lost because everyone is already saved." (Mellen-Thomas Benedict)
"I'm sure that I asked the question that had been plaguing me since childhood about the sufferings of my (Jewish) people. I do remember this: There was a reason for everything that happened, no matter how awful it appeared in the physical realm. And within myself, as I was given the answer, my own awakening mind now responded in the same manner: 'Of course,' I would think, 'I already know that. How could I ever have forgotten!'" (Beverly Brodsky)
From these NDE insights, we should conclude that Hitler was not an "evil" man. This is because evil does not exist -- only spiritual ignorance exists. There should be no doubt that Hitler was very spiritually ignorant. He was so spiritually ignorant, we might even consider him uniquely "challenged" spiritually. It's possible Hitler's spiritual deficit was the result of a dysfunctional frontal cortex of his brain. Who is to say? Viewing Hitler as severely handicapped (who but "by the grace of God goes us") makes it easier to love him unconditionally. How can we blame someone with a severe disability? It is much easier to sympathize with them.
