Why do we suffer? "We suffer because we've left our home - the Kingdom of Heaven which is our proper home. So we're deficient in love. We're deficient of real love - the love of God. And not all the girls in the world are a substitute for that love of God. The answer to suffering? Repent." In this episode of the 'Inside Story' series exploring more deeply the 'windows of realisation' in John's most popular book 'Wonders of Spiritual Unfoldment' (Chapter 22), he says, "When there's nothing left but 'God help me' it's probably the most useful thing you can say."
