I don't know if it's "human nature" (what I call the body's mind) or conditioning but it can be SO much easier to focus on negative emotions and events than positive ones. Negative beings (incarnate or otherwise) feed on negative energy like fear, resentment, and anger. I am stingy. I refuse to feed them. It takes genuine effort to redirect attention toward goodness, healing, and positive action. "The body must die to free the Spirit (soul)" from Ancient Pact. When someone I love dies, I know that person is no longer experiencing physical pain. While I miss sharing life with that person, I focus on good times and imagine sending the love I feel directly to him/her. To do this I exhale deeply and visualize my warm feelings moving from my heart to their awareness. I always smile.

(Maybe those e-circuits all the way to Hong Kong aren't always perfect.) Blog-Buddies, today's thread of about suffering is closely related to the conversation started by Robert Schwartz's Guest Post, here http://www.rose-rosetree.com/blog/?p=88 . You'll find Anabela's longer comment there. I'm reminded of a great quote from Robert Jastrow's "God and the Astronomers": "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries".
