There are those in the Bay Area who “earn” their daily bread from the pain, suffering, guilt, fear, and hate of others.
Rev. B. Woods Mattingley, Founder-Director of The Seeker’s Quest, entitled the lead article in his current newsletter: “Why Do We Suffer Pain?”
His answer: “Most serious illness can be attributed to one of several reasons: karmic, in which current life pain results from the excesses or ‘sins’ of a past life…. Physical pain is also a telling statement that the person has some past-life reason which is creating his present-life pain.”
Those who are unfortunate enough to suffer pain do not need guilt piled on top of it!
