The Pain of God

Jody raises an interesting point that I will phrase in this question:

Because we are in God and God is in us does this mean that God feels all our pain? Since there are over 6 billion people on this planet and billions of planets does this mean that God is always in a state of unimaginable pain, feeling all of it on the planet and universe at once?

Fortunately for God, the Masters and the higher lives this is not the case. Could you imagine how terrible it would be for the Planetary Logos to feel all the pain at one time that is just going on in this small planet? If this were the case no one would apply for the job of being at the top of any spiritual hierarchy.

Let us go back to the Law of Correspondences. We are a god to the cells in our body in similar manner as the Planetary Logos is the God over the earth.

Now every day in our livers millions of cells suffer and die. But does this fact interfere with our own consciousness? Do you feel all the death and suffering of the older cells in your body?

No, of course not.

Even so God does not feel all the pain of the billions of individuals within his body but feels his body as a whole the way we feel ours. If the whole body is sick or disturbed then God will get the message, otherwise he is quite at peace on his own plane.

Now the Masters who are not yet Gods but sons of God are linked to each other through a Molecular Relationship and their consciousness is in a state of eternal joyousness not effected by the pain of humanity. They are aware of the sufferings of humanity and can tune into it when necessary, but are unaffected by it in their normal living. Even so, because they have passed through the human state they have empathy for the human condition and seek to do all in their power to lift us to a higher state of consciousness wherein pain as we know it does not abide.
