Keep asking the hard questions and keep finding the answers. God has promised that those who seek will find.
I wouldn’t worry about not having a priest around to ask questions of. You see, you have everything you need to discover the deepest mysteries. That’s true for every person. Most of us simply do not trust ourselves that much.
We think we are not enough, not educated enough, not old enough, not rich enough, not spiritual enough, and the list goes on and on. And somehow we think, if we could just find the right person to answer all our questions, we’d be set.
Not so. Even if I gave you all my answers, they would not be your answers. Only you, your unique manifestation of God in human form, can find the answers you need.
Everything about you is unique. There isn’t another human being on this planet exactly like you. And the answers that many accept won’t work for you. You already know this. I’m reminding you so that perhaps you can become a little more comfortable seeking and finding on your own. The journey is sometimes a bit lonely, but when the answers come, they are powerful and irrefutable, and they’re all yours!
And yes I have a lot to do, but do I really have anything better to do than respond to a 16 year old? Nah…

I’ll look into Ken’s book.

It’s always good to hear of progress!

You are so much more than a 16 year old Catholic.

The way I see it is: You and God are one – that’s at the deepest level – where the spark that gives you life and existence is. Your Mom and God are also one and so you are one with her – and every other soul as well.

I believe you may tune into that truth and learn to sense spirit – the part of ourselves we typically ignore. You see, the physical aspect that we think is us demands so much attention that we ignore who we really are, and we miss the connectedness to each other. This focus on separation robs us of power because we’re focusing on an idea that isn’t in alignment with who we really are.

When you are thinking about your mom and how much you miss her, notice how you feel in your physical body. Weak or strong?

Then think about your mom as being one with you and ever present with you along with God and notice how that makes you feel in your body.

Focus on that which makes you strong. Exclude the thinking that feels weak and powerless. Those thoughts do not serve. They’re not in alignment with reality.

I know this is easier said than done. Old training kicks in – but you’re just 16. I’m 40. You’ll be more able to do this than someone older who is more set in their ways of thinking and being.

Let me know how it goes for you!

Blessings,

Robert
