I’ve noticed that when I respond to something or someone with an emotional charge, that I can’t break out of old patterns. It seems that even after much meditation, prayer, etc., that if my emotions are involved I keep doing the same old things, even though I know better. For instance I keep giving in to my grownup son, then resent him. How do I break this pattern?

I am very unsettled spiritually.  I do believe this affects my life and health in a negative fashion.  I am unsure what I need to learn first to open up to the ideas of spirituality and overall good health via the mind, body, spirit connection.  Do I first need to learn to control the stress? the anger? the sadness? the “noisy” mind?  Any guidance you can give would be much appreciated.  I really feel like I need to work on this and don’t see but 1 teacher listed in your referral section in my area (unsure if their specialty would even help).  Thank you in advance for your answer.

Thank you once again for a marvelous book -“Life after Death; the Burden of Proof”! I have just finished reading it and plan read it again shortly. It was concise, beautiful written and full of insightful messages of how to live life to the fullest. I particularly loved your analogy with Savitri, Ramana and Lord Yama!
Your book gave me the confidence to start to believe in myself and my gifts. I’m an artist and throughout my life I have been living in the ‘ethereal’ realm with strong intuition but have been afraid to talk about it with fear that I would be judged as “crazy”. My parents live mainly in the physical realm and have at times questioned my lifestyle choices. On page 128 of your book you write that …” you may also find yourself detached from the physical world and unable to navigate it was well as someone without intuition and spiritual sensitivity. This will worry you until you discover that the subtle world is capable of supporting you”. Many times I feel detached from the physical world and it does worry me. How can I trust the subtle world more and let it support me? Is it just faith?

What really is romantic chemistry? Attraction? If it is an illusion, why is it so important to have it with a partner? What if you recognize a good person with whom you have no romantic chemistry, is it worthwhile, in your opinion, to make a relationship happen with this person? Is it better to choose someone who is a wonderful person, even if there is no attraction, because chemistry dies eventually anyway? A best friend rather than a lover? Thanks for answering my question.

Does God really forgive us for all our sins & mistakes? If he does then what should I do to make God forgive my sins & mistakes? And how would I come to know that he has forgiven me & also will forgive me throughout in my life?
