RE: Notes #35 - In Search of a Hero
Thank you, sincerely. I appreciate this comment more than I can tell you. Despite my many comments about God, and the experiences I have had, there is one thing I do know - I am not an atheist. I have had experiences that defy explanation. My wife sees and experiences things similar to what you have detailed here. Quite often. She doesn't seek them out.
I felt Nan's presence strongly today. Now my logical side says that is memory. That is nostalgia. That is human emotions. And it may very well be those, and nothing more. But they led somewhere deeper, which led to the post. I just wrote that all down in one sitting, and I wasn't sure if I was going to share it or not. After rereading it I felt it was the right thing to do.
My wife has experienced similar visitations, and received very specific messages. There is simply no logical explanation. We live in a complex Universe. Humans have tried to explain that complexity, and thus we have myths, religions, psychology. All reasonable attempts to define and understand things better. This is a logical approach. Turning these beliefs into control mechanisms isn't. That's my issue, and really my one and only issue.
Control mechanisms! Yes :(
