Symptoms of illness and distress, plus your feelings about them, can be viewed as messengers coming to tell you something important about your body or about your mind. In the old days, if a king didn't like the message he was given, he would sometimes have the messenger killed.

That would be none other than our old friend Reality. — Haruki Murakami

"I'm a messenger ... Green Rider." The young man's body spasmed with pain, and blood

The real question is: What is expiation? Is it compatible with a pure image of God? Is it not a phase in man's religious development that we need to move beyond?
