Pablo Sender discusses how pain and suffering can be used to foster spiritual growth.
The experience of life brings us joy and sorrow. While most of us readily embrace joy, we tend to regard sorrow as a mistake, as something that should not have its place in life. The Theosophical tradition, however, postulates that pain can become a blessing in disguise if we understand it properly and learn how to relate to it in a spiritual way.
The subjects covered in this course are the following:
1) Introduction
2) Learning the Law
3) Rooting out Desire
4) Transitory vs. Eternal
5) Seeking the Eternal
6) Conscious Use of Pain
7) Strength and Compassion
