Had to drive up to San Francisco

I had to drive up to San Francisco last night and stay there until today. The traffic between 6 am and 9 am would have made it not possible to get there in time otherwise. So, we stayed at a hotel last night for her appointment at 9 am today. So, this is why I haven't been blogging much today or last night.

It was good to spend the time with my daughter because I learned a lot from her as we are now setting up better communication between us. During her teens it was difficult because she went to a private school (actually 3 different private schools between age 7 and age 18). So, it has been difficult to have communication likely because of this. I was 48 when she was born so to her now I'm a dinosaur of sorts at 68 now. So, trying to communicate with someone who has decided anyone who believes in religions is sort of crazy in the first place is difficult because her criteria basis is different for reality. For me, I'm not attached to everyone believing in God after studying Buddhism since 1980 and because I see myself as a Mystical Christian Tibetan Buddhist. But, finding ways to communicate with my daughter has been very difficult.

I finally found a vehicle for her to better understand today. I said to her I'm sort of like a Jedi Knight in Star Wars. I used to be Luke Skywalker in my 20s. Then I became Obi-wan Kenobee but now I'm more like Yoda in how I see myself which is different because I have had so many amazing experiences now. So, do I see myself as a master?

I see myself as someone who has experienced many amazing things that most people have not. How could I expect others to understand if they haven't also had the same experiences? It would not be wise to do so.

I'm a person who basically says, "I'll believe it when I see It!" And I see most of you like me in this.

So, when a person is like this it is not logical to expect others to believe things unless they have experienced these things too. So if and until they do they are like children in relation to understanding certain things.

For example, a doctor might understand things that others not doctors or nurses would not understand. But, to judge others for not understanding these things is to just be stupid and illogical.

So, you tend to view others without this experience as more childlike and deserving of your protection as if you were their father. So, this is how I am too. When I am around people I protect them from harming me or them or others. This is what I do.

IF I cannot do that then I usually watch people self destruct which is awful but I do what I am allowed to do to help all beings.

By God's Grace
