Why Are There Natural Disasters and Diseases?

Why are there natural disasters and diseases, which seem like evil? Rupert responds that the appearance of evil is the ignorance created in the felt separation and the absence of the recognition of our shared being. A natural disaster does not come from this sense of separation and thus, is not evil. He goes on to make a distinction between the death of a child and murder, or actions that come from the felt sense of separation, which is not the case of an earthquake, for instance. There need not be a motivation assumed in such cases. Ascribing such motivation comes from the sense of separation. Death is considered a disaster from the limited point of view of the finite mind.
