God is Where you Find HIm (Her, The Being)

As a Mystic I find that "God is where you find him" to be the most useful phrase. Because now I find God everywhere I look outside and in. God is everywhere and there is Nowhere God is not. So, one finds God in oneself, in the plants, in the winds, in the ocean, in the mountains, in the desert and this experience is always magical in of itself and leave one with "Wonder" about the magnificence of God in all his infinite forms always.

But, like I said my father and mother and my mother's mother were all mystics and so taught me to think this way from childhood. Was it always this perfect?

No. There was terror when I was 2 with whooping cough until my grandmother prayed for the angels by singing "Hark the Herald Angels sing" which invoked the angels to rescue me from whooping cough. And because the angels came I wanted to soul travel with them and so in my 20s I learned to do that by God's Grace.

Soul Traveling is a gift bestowed upon you when you request it  through prayer, even though my first experience (when I didn't expect it around 1970 was so terrifying I almost had a stroke or heart attack and just died on the spot. Because this isn't something theoretical, this is actual and as scary as finding yourself suddenly flying a plane if you had never been taught to be a pilot.

So, though I had prayed for it since I was a child to soul travel with the angels the actuality of this nearly killed me at first.

But, mostly God was just training me not to astral project where my soul completely separated from my body I now believe. He wanted me instead to learn to be everywhere and everywhen at once with him all over the universe which is my present contemplation now at 72. So, it appears being everywhere and every when with God was the goal always. But, as a child I just wanted to be with the angels because they were more wonderful than anything I was experiencing on earth at age 2 then.

The world was a much less friendly place to children in the 1950s than it is now. The biggest problem now I would say is that children are infantalized sort of like pets and not given responsibilities early enough.

So, by 1952 when I was 4 I was expected to be emotionally like a man already. (but not mentally). But, emotionally I was supposed to be held accountable for all my actions even at age 4 which is different than now.

For example, I was supposed to let the dentist pull all my front teeth out without novacaine at 4. I was supposed to stay on the beach at Corona Del Mar at 4 while waiting for my father to rescue my mother before she drowned in the Ocean from a rip tide. So, by age 8 I was responsible enough to give a .22 rifle to to keep in my bedroom with the bullets to be one of the family protectors from intruders and animal pests etc. So, this was very different than now.

But, this also caused traumas often in young children to be given this much responsibility so young. But, I have witnessed that the alternative is often worse when you infantalize children like people tend to do now like pets.

But, once again in the end "God is where you find HIM". (Her, the Being).

Understanding that God is everywhere even inside you every moment of your life from conception on is maybe the most important thing people need to realize during their long lives here on earth.

It seems like life goes on forever to my 72 year old self here now.

By God's Grace
