In my Childhood: 1953 when I was 5

 My father was injured at work and broke his wrist so he had to stay off work for about 6 weeks since he was an electrician. So, my parents read to me from "Unveiled Mysteries" and "The Magic Presence" which are two of the Sacred Books in the Saint German Foundation where my parents were ministers. They hadn't been put in charge of a church in Los Angeles yet by their religion. That came in 1954 when I was 6 when we moved from El Cajon to Tujunga. Elmer came in the Yellow Semi Truck and moved all of our belongings to another house in Tujunga then. Elmer worked for the religion and moved things around for group leaders (ministers who ran churches) throughout the lower 48 states then and anything else the leaders of the religion wanted moved at that time.

I was thinking this evening about the "Cave of Symbols" which is a place in Wyoming I believe. I think it was Nada, Bob, Rex, and Pearl are the young people who go to the Cave of symbols and meet Saint Germain there. In the religion I was raised in there are two very sacred Mountains, one is Mt. Shasta and the other is the Royal Tetons in Teton National Park. I was wondering if Pearl Dorris, who was one of Mr. Ballard's early students in the 1930s that I met in the 1970s in Mt. Shasta was the Pearl in the book about Saint Germain and the Cave of Symbols?

Another thing I was processing tonight was that I realized that my father has now been gone since 1985 when he was 69 years old. I have already outlived my father by almost 7  years now. But, the one thing that stuck in my mind is that it has now been 39 years since my father passed away and I realized that I was only alive when he was alive for 37 years when he passed on in 1985. What am I to do with this information which on one level seems unthinkable that he could have been gone now longer than he was alive and in my life growing up and getting married and having children. Two of my children never met him because one was born in 1989 and one was born in 1996. So, they never met him which is amazing to me too. My Mother didn't pass away until 2008 many years later the year I was turning 60. But, I lost my father when I was 37 and I was completely unprepared for what that would do to my life then.

I was talking to a friend who is in her middle 40s who hasn't lost either parent and I wanted to share the most important thing I learned from losing both my parents which is: 

"YOU and your children and Grandchildren are the best of your parents that live on after they are gone." 

You can look into the mirror and see the best of your parents. You can look at your children and see the best of your parents and you can look into the eyes of your Grandchildren and see the best of your parents there too.

Hopefully, thinking in this way will help you get through the rest of your lives after your parents pass on.

By God's Grace
