The Kind of Love That Watches You Suffer

My old spiritual teachers told me a film called Astral City shows exactly what happens after we die. I believe it does, and that’s the problem. In it, a doctor dies and wanders a dark wasteland for eight years. He’s rescued only after he begs, then taught to drop his ego and sent back to Earth to try again. The same teachers said the light loves us more than anything. I compare that to what any of us would do for someone we truly love, and to the five years I spent with a man who said he loved me while tormenting me until I gave in. Something that can watch you suffer until you submit doesn’t love you. *To bring Sarah into a stage or podcast,* inquire *about live in-person engagements.
