Other Person's Response: If you were apathetic, then you wouldn't even have the desire to regain your positive emotions.
My Reply: That's right. But, I'd still choose to try to regain them anyway.
Other Person's Response: As time goes on, you recover more and more from this misery-inducing...
Other Person's Response: You say there are specific worries and thoughts that caused you to be miserable. But, other than that, do you feel stress and misery from other thoughts and worries that people normally have, such as work that needs to be done, chores, etc.
My Reply: No. As a matter...
they don't seem to care about me, and allow me to suffer.
Other Person's Response: Even if god wasn't allowing your suffering for a good reason, you would, at least, have gained something by trying to help ease your mental suffering through therapy. You would've gained the benefits certain...
god, and these spiritual beings in the heavenly realms, prevent cures from being discovered? If all this suffering is so good, then why cure it? Why allow science to progress to the point where a utopia life is eventually created for us, where virtually all diseases and forms of suffering are...
Other Person's Response: You said you didn't want to help humanity, and that you just want to live for yourself. So, why should god, or these spiritual beings, help you out, nurture you, and protect you from life's hardships then?
My Reply: Because that's just what an all-loving being would...
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and across the sky, flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonged to me, and the other, to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the...
Other Person's Response: As for having experiences on Earth that we can't have in heaven, I can't have the experience of drinking a rather fine, single malt in heaven because I'm just a spirit, with no physical body, which means I have no taste buds. Furthermore, there's not a single malt...
Other Person’s Response: If that person in your example had to live his entire life in prison, then there’s no way he could get the help he needed.
My Reply: You’re right.
Other Person’s Response: I heard that your recent emotional crisis took the longest to fully recover from. I think...
me to suffer through all that misery, even if meditation was the answer that could've helped me all along. Also, you said it takes a long commitment to meditation in order to see significant results. If god, or these heavenly beings, had the power to instantly heal me of that misery-inducing...
Other Person's Response: Has the overheating issue with your computer been subsided a little, after the dust has been cleaned from inside the computer?
My Reply: Yes. That overheating issue is still there a bit. So, maybe, a professional needs to completely clean my computer in order for...
Other Person's Response: Since you expect god to just heal your misery, you must be like a spoiled child who wants everything done for him. It's your responsibility to find ways to help yourself. God's not going to heal your misery because that will help you become a more mature adult who...
Other Person's Response: If you lived your life without your positive emotions, then it would be like you're just waiting patiently for your positive emotions to return, rather than living a life that's actually beautiful?
My Reply: Correct. It would be like I'm trapped and waiting patiently...
Other Person's Response: But, you say you still feel fear, even when you're fully recovered from an emotional crisis. So, if someone displayed a potentially threatening attitude towards you, that would cause you to feel fear.
My Reply: Yes. But, I wouldn't feel angry, disgust, misery, etc...
Other Person's Response: I heard, from spiritual believers, that we are eternal, spiritual beings who are connected, and that we have a higher self that transcends the ego.
My Reply: I'm undecided on controversial topics, and what you just said is controversial. So, I'm undecided on that...
Other Person's Response: Were the crippled states of your waking life normal, healthy experiences compared to the ones in your nightmares?
My Reply: Yes. Even though the crippled states of my waking life weren't normal, healthy experiences, if you were to compare them to the ones I've had in...
Other Person's Response: While I'm on the topic of your packets, you've written all of these packets during your miserable struggles, which were triggered by negative thoughts and worries. If you could do all of that without your positive emotions, then you could have learned to compose, too...
something is a beautiful experience for someone, it would make no sense to say that thing is a horrible experience for that person. You'd be putting the wrong label on that person's experience.
My Reply: Yes.
Other Person's Response: When apathetic people have suicidal tendencies, you're...
a victim of their circumstances.
Other Person's Response: God, and these heavenly beings, are all-knowing and all-powerful. So, I'm quite sure they'd find a way to heal people of their suffering. Yet, they still allow people to suffer. Isn't it said that god already intervenes in the human...
Other Person's Response: I believe in Divine Love, as well as all other positive experiences that are divine. All the positive experiences you currently have are the human, emotional ones, since they're all based upon fleeting, positive emotions. But, they're not the everlasting, divine ones...
I believe love is something that doesn't ever leave one. But, if we have the belief that love is fleeting, its power fades off into the background. So, I believe one's belief and perspective of love also has its effects on how they see love, experience love, how it affects them, and manifests...
