Belief Systems

I was trying to delete the article I wrote on Saint Germain because I thought I should and obviously Saint Germain disagreed with me because when I tried 5 or 10 times it wouldn't delete. It reminds me of an experience I had while writing parts of "Memories" when I tried to delete something important because it upset me and the wind came up and slammed the door right next to me and scared me out of my wits and I realized God was saying, "Hey. You need to leave this just the way it is!" So, I did.

I was having an argument with my daughter. She went to a Christian School which made her an atheist (which happens a lot I'm told) when she was 13. Her point of view is that either all religions are right or all religions are wrong. So, until someone or something proves something to her otherwise they are all wrong and stupid. I'm compassionate to people who are agnostic or atheists because I was once one for a couple of years in my early teens. So, I understand just how painful that point of view is. So, now she is 17. And I went into a rest room and it had really terrible vibes and I didn't want to go to the bathroom there. And then I went out and said to my daughter. "This place gives me the creeps. I'm not going to go to the bathroom here." And I didn't hear the end of it from my agnostic? daughter. She said, "You're unbelievable Dad. I'm embarrassed to know you. If anyone else had this point of view I would be tolerant but because your my Dad it is unacceptable."

I have raised a total of about 5 kids and two God Daughters now including one God daughter from around 15 years old on and none of them gave me this kind of problem before. All the rest accepted my belief system and respected it whether they shared my beliefs or not. That's how I taught them. But, my youngest daughter is just as tough and stubborn and strong and never say die a kind of person that my father and Grandfather and I am. So, on the one hand I know she will probably survive anything because she is so emotionally tough like I am. On the other hand, "How about a little understanding and compassion, daughter?" I didn't crush you like I could have  when I could because I wanted to have an empowered daughter who wasn't just going to cry the first time someone threatened her life like many women did in the 1950s. But now, this is kind of getting ridiculous. Ahh! The Travails of a father creating a truly empowered and educated daughter including the best private school education in the county.

I said to her, "You remind me of Celeste Weaver who was raised on a planet where all religions were forbidden because of all the wars caused by religions on the planet they were all from." My daughter said, "I'm not Celeste Weaver. I'm your daughter."

Later: This is my thought. If you force someone to "Come To God" this never really works. You might scare someone to death(literally) by forcing them to come to God but then they would only be dead. In my daughter's case she is just as intuitive as I am but lives in denial of it. Somehow the universe lets her do this for some reason. Who am I to come between her and her maker's timing for everything?
