I’ve been told by some wise people over the years to let go of my attempt to help my 35 year old daughter whose life has been in chaos for 20 years. She has gone through the usual: addiction, failed/disastrous relationships, poverty, etc. It would be easier for me to let go if there was not a child involved. My seven year old granddaughter has been through more than any kid that age should have to endure. They are now homeless again. I’m at a loss. Any guidance would be lovingly received. Thank you!
A Little Boost for Immortality
As we all grow older, the span of mortality left to us becomes smaller and smaller. This shrinkage naturally makes us think about immortality. The possibility of surviving death lies at the heart of almost every religion, yet it would be comforting if factual evidence existed, not simply the reassurance of spiritual guides. I was so deeply affected by my father’s death a few years ago that I wrote an entire book to consider if life after death can be proved. I emerged from that project with a good deal of comfort and reassurance. And all of it was rationally based. (more…)
Seeking God
Ever since I was 17 I have been seeking to know God. I have prayed and meditated and studied the Bible all these years (I am 51 now). I have studied church doctrines, observed nature, read books, etc. Most of all, I have prayed. I have gone through excruciatingly difficult periods in my life and have experienced a lot of different situations in life. The question I am having, and the struggle I am experiencing, is that I feel I know less than when I started out at age 17. I am more confused. I presently have a sense that God is all that is good and all that is bad or evil. The Yin and Yang. Positive and negative energy in One. How can I possibly feel secure with such a God? Maybe I shouldn’t have questioned anything in the first place? But of course, good always triumphs over evil. And overall my life has improved and I have seen many miracles. The fact remains that I am here right now and all is well in my world. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting. I believe my question has been answered. However, if you have a comment on the Good + Evil belief, I would greatly appreciate hearing it. Thank you.
Making Your Destiny Through Transformation
In the face of adversity and stress, I find myself shutting down, isolating, and struggling to remain hopeful. How do I open myself up to the universe? How do I remain hopeful and have an open relationship with the universe when it seems that the universe gives back nothing but grief and hardship? Am I destined to struggle with relationships, money, and a bad job? I have read the 7 Laws of Success at least 100 times since the mid 1990’s, but the words have not connected to my soul. Thank you for your time. I admire your inner peace.
