Hi Penny

[quote]I had heard about adult women having their faces covered with fabric and young girls and boys expected to marry when they are older, but I do not believe that some man would want to marry an infant! Surely, they aren't really trying to have intercourse with these children!

I don’t know about an infant as they could seriously harm them if they did, but I think they do with the children. I believe Mohammed waited until they were 6 years old….. but whatever its sick, sick sick!!!

[quote]That's so interesting! It would be interesting to know how many (if any) of those murderers did not have the Killer Brain Wave and what their family and childhood to adult life had been.

I went searching for the news article ….. I read tweets to find out what folks are talkíng about and often there are very interesting links in them. It is where I saw the story link posted, but I have been back reading hundreds of tweets and cannot find it. People tweet so much arrrrgggghhhh! I was going to post the link here for you.

[quote]Err...did she disappear because he killed her or because she'd finally had enough? It may be important to note that not abusers cóme from abusive backgrounds. Hmmm...maybe they have that Killer Brain Wave or a similar one for Abusive behavior. Anyway, what a sad, horrible way to líve. Abuse is an absolute snare. Imprisonment by fear.

She always worked and apparently saved little bits of money so her husband would not notice…. She was in her fifties when she ran away…. It took her a long time to save enough money to do so. My friend was so worried about her and tried to find her, but she did not want to be found in case her husband found her too…. Although my friend finally did find her she kept her location secret. A lot of women leave their abusive husbands only to go back to them. It happens all the time, like they are addicted to the abuse.

[quote]Which brings us to the $64,000 question: Why? What is the point of these so-called challenges that potentially damage the spírit? What are we being prepared for? For what use is rape and physícal torture and misery? Are we being toughened up for some particular vicious battle? What are all these experiences for? Why the need to experience male and female points of view? And I assume we've had pleasant lifetimes. :confused: (I just know that this isn't one of them. Urrgh. But I'm certain there have been far worse lifetimes we've limped through.)

I agree Penny…. That is an excellent question. I have read that between líves we rest and heal…. But I know also that the damage has been done to our spírits and we wíll continue to attract the same. If you have been raped its because you have been raped in another lifetime which attracted it in this lifetime too. As you said earlier ‘like attracts like’. Until we can see the patterns and break them we keep on attracting the same happenings. This is something I have wrestled with too. I think the mirror cómes into this... where people mirror to us what is going on inside us at an unconscious level. We have to dig into that unconscious level, and through dreams too, to find out what is hidden there and bring it out into the light of day and heal it.
