Why Babies Get Cancer

"If God is loving and all-powerful, why do babies get cancer?" It's the question atheists use to shut down every conversation about meaning in suffering — and it's also the uncomfortable question that arises in GNM circles when people realize that biological conflicts start in the psyche.   In this episode, Lishui takes the question seriously. She explores why the two most common answers — "it's random" and "you manifested it" — both fail. And she offers a third framework, drawn from the fifth biological law of the Germanische Heilkunde — what she calls the Law of Meaning: suffering follows natural laws. It is not punishment, and it is not meaningless. It is purposeful — in the very specific, biological sense that the fifth law defines.   This is also a deeply personal episode, drawing on Lishui's experience raising a son with Down syndrome and the theology people tried to apply to that — and why she eventually rejected it in favour of something more honest.   Listen now → mindtreehealth.co/start
