Why Doesn’t God Know Our Suffering?

"If there is absolutely no separation between infinite consciousness and the finite mind, and all that exists is infinite consciousness, does that mean every horrific act was decided by infinite consciousness? Why would we have evil and suffering? Rupert says: ‘Infinite consciousness decides nothing. All decisions take place in the finite mind. In the absence of a finite mind, consciousness is not making decisions because decisions are, by definition, finite. In order to manifest its infinite potential in form, consciousness must overlook or sacrifice the knowing of its own being and localise itself as a finite mind through whose perceiving faculties it is able to know itself as the universe. But the price it pays for doing so is overlooking its true nature of peace and love, and hence the individual exists in a state of agitation and conflict and evil. Suffering is only known from the point of view of the finite mind.’"
