it was as if i had already been forgiven, accepted and loved though i hadn't had a chance to make any decision yet or even asked for forgiveness. at the time this went against everything i knew and understood about forgiveness, which had to be asked for to receive. now i understand that better, that there is no real right or wrong, only actions and consequences. so.. while i may not have fantastic (seemingly) stories to tell like people like david and other channelers, healers, teachers etc, i do have my own story.

ewhaz, it has been very moving, warm and down to earth to share your stories of becoming. thank you for sharing with us so openly and candidly your inner life and amazing adventures! it took me a while in my life to accept and understand the power of forgiveness.

i can really relate to your journey, having at one time wrestled with feelings of spiritual inadequacy and fear of not having found the straight and narrow road, afraid that past or current choices precluded me from real spiritual insight. the lack of any perceivable psychic abilities seemed to reinforce and give evidence to this when i was younger.

this rocky road to awakening has been full of trials and tribulations, pain and joy, disillusionment and illumination, and mostly learning of acceptance, love and forgiveness, and the privilege of mutually sharing and caring with others like you on this forum is something very special and uplifting. bless you all in this very special community of love.
