A quick story from me {or not so quick}

[Guest guest]

Each of us as participants can add what we

have

share elsewhere or here

and thereby increase the sum total

of our and others being.

Lobster, thank you for the invitation... This list has made me feel

very comfortable, that I would like to share something today....

First quick background, so you will know why I mention my little

story... I'm 33, married happily 13 years, 3 children 13, 7 , 6......

3 months ago my k was spontaneously awakened on another list here at

.. It has been a difficult course for me since then, but am

beginning to level out somewhat... the revelations slowing down

some.... But the wonderful thing I wish to share, is how my children

are changing, because of my changes. ...

I was raised in the Christian Church, and at the moment am trying to

slow release my responsibilities in the church, so my family and I

can leave.. No longer believing the god I was raised to believe

in.... No longer believing in a heaven and hell.... No longer

believing in the 'one chance to get it right'.....

Two weeks ago, my 7 yr old daughter, who's changes have been almost as

fast as my own, said to me " momma, you know when we die, we get to

come back and do this again" I havent told her this.... Its her own

truth......

And today I watched her struggle with what the church has taught her

and what her spirit tells her is truth... She and I were on our way

to church... I had to go today, and she wanted... {its important I

point this out, because of something that happened}..... I asked her,

"Monica, do you believe in a hell and heaven?"... Her reply was "the

church says there is a heaven and hell, and that good people go to

heaven, and bad people go to hell" and I said "but what does Monica

believe"... She said "I dont think there is a hell, because there are

NO bad people... Only sad people trying to feel better"

I just love it when my children teach me their truth......

but then something sad happened... She told her Sunday School teacher,

and when the class was over, I noticed my little daughter was sad....

I gave her a big hug, and told her how proud I was of her for sharing

that with me on the way to church, and it made my day.... She later

told me that she mentioned it to her teacher, and her teacher told

her she was wrong.... I felt so sad for her.... But reconfirmed that

her truth was hers, and her teacher, no person could take that away

from her.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share this. Love, Lynette

Hi Lynette,

I don't think we _have_ to leave Christianity when we have the wider

experiences that come with spiritual development and K... well-known

Christians have obviously had active K... Saint Teresa, for instance. But

the church certainly does make it difficult. My friend Matt has

recently resigned his post as children's minister at an Episcopalian

church. He had told a few people about his experiences and they warned him

not to tell people about them, especially not the children. He finally bit

the bullet and told the church what was going on... and said he realized

they didn't want him to teach what was most real and true to him. It's a

real loss for the church, I think.

Beautiful! My parents were raised Christian but weren't very

"religious"... I told them something of my experiences, but I was kind of

the oddball. But one day when my Mom was lying in a hospital bed, very

near death, and I was sitting beside her, she pointed and said, "Open!

Open the door!"

 

"What door?" I asked.

 

"Our garden is full of reincarnation," she said. "And it looks like this."

And she drew a spiral in the air with her finger.

Beautiful... my Grampa used to say that everybody is going to get to

heaven sooner or later, but some people will have a hell of a time getting

there.

She's a lucky little girl to have you for a mother.
