Yes. Yes. Thank you. That is exactly what I have often thought. Of course that often has taken me around 60 years to get to.
I went to a convent school and that did get me on a religious path to God. Many of the nuns were cruel but I refused to believe God was anything but Love. I followed the rites & traditions unquestioningly. Then I came to charismatic renewal. That was a great experience up to a point.
Then Antony DeMelo & a book called Sadhana a way to God showed me how to meditate. But I could tell that people didn’t want me to move on. They wanted me to stay where I was.
But I’ve always believed everything evolves, and I always trusted that I was led in the right direction.
When I was 5 years old, I heard my father abuse my mother outside my bedroom door. I had been taken to church and heard people talk about miracles. I prayed and prayed for God to come and take my father away. I felt no answer and the situation never changed. I felt abandoned. I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. 1) it was taboo to talk about what was going on and 2) I would have just been told it was wrong to question God. I suffered my whole life with this religious trauma. Recently, I have been searching for what to believe. But as you so eloquently said, it’s already here within me. I can now connect with my authentic self and see the divine reflected in my own eyes. Thank you for your beautiful words.
What an Awakening! And the timing was ordained in my heart ❤️ and soul. It reveals so much.What a new understanding of life and One's personal inner world of the Soul ... Namaste 🙏 Ben
I wish I could tell you the feeling I have right now. Your words explain exactly how I have felt for years but was unable to put into my own thoughts and words. Your words just explained it all, perfectly. I have distanced myself from organized religion when in my early life I was told this is how I had to believe. Something didn't mesh for me so I withdrew. The love of God came with punishment and that's not how I saw a loving father. Died for my sins? Didn't make sense either. But you just put into words something I have felt since childhood. What a gift you gave today, an explanation I have longed for. Just beautiful 🦋✨️♥️
We are complete; we encompass all that exists. When you take a moment to observe what life offers through the experiences of our true selves, you realize that life teaches us more about our essence. It emphasizes the philosophy of remaining aware of who we are in this world and reflecting on our priorities and beliefs.
