Hi Ray, thank you for your kind wishes and prayers.

Both my husband and I relate to what you write about your faith in a loving God. It's been a long process (many books and internet searches) for me to come to this one single conclusion that God is Unconditional Love. That's why I believe I can allow myself to distance myself from this Being without repercussions, if I feel the need. At the same time I know that my perception of having time apart from God is just an illusion. How can anyone be separate from something that permeates the whole existence?

I've been toying with the idea of becoming an atheist, but it seems impossible. I told you I don't pray to ask God for things, but just the other day I caught myself praying for one of my kids:)

I think it's how I live my life that matters, not what I believe. I'd be the happiest in a world where members of all religions or no religion embraced each other.

I see nothing wrong with believing in God and I don't connect it to the cult we had left. After all I experienced God long before I met the cult and in a much deeper way. But now the sense of urgency that I have to do something for God has left me and I feel the freedom to just be.

Why should you snap to the reality of a simply material existence? Who can prove that there is only material existence?

I feel close to you and Stephanie and to the people whose posts I've been reading on this site. Maybe this is how strangers who survived some kind of a disaster feel about each other.

I love this song:


Take care and thank you for the wonderful book.
Loredana
