When I was little from birth my mother was an amazing intuitive. She really related to Mary the Mother of Jesus and sort of saw me as a little Baby Jesus too. I think this likely moved me forward to my experiences with real angels at 2 and also moved me forward into being a Christian Mystic like she was.
She was also clairvoyant like I tend to be too. Though my father was a Valedictorian of his high School Class in Seattle she was very intuitive and common sensical and had grown up very poor. She talked about not being able to afford metal hinges for their door to their house so they used leather belt straps instead in the 1920s and early 1930s. She talked about walking to see movies for a nickel in the 20s by 1924 when she was 5 years old. Her Father left her family when she was 18 and she had to financially support her mother since her mother had never worked in the world and only had raised her three girls and raised her brothers and sisters growing up.
So, she was spiritual very influential in my life and had the voice of an angel when she sang. She often played Mario Lanza Records when I was 2 or more years old and sang along with them which made me cry with happiness and joy at hearing her beautiful voice in harmony with Mario Lanza.
She was the one likely that moved me forward in becoming the Christian Mystic that I am now.
In other words: "God is where you find him, her, the Being."
And:
"If an ant is your guru feed him".
So, expecting God to amaze you every day in some way is something I live with every day.
So, I live with a sense of wonder (unless I'm trying to survive something awful in my life that day).
But, generally speaking God has been very good to me (but being a human being there is alway some suffering we are all dealing with too.
I am Grateful to have been Middle Class and affluent but also poor sometimes during my life as I can understand all classes of people so I have never been a complete elitist like some people who think of the poor and middle Class as animals that need to be put out of their misery or put to death like Trump does.
So, being a Christian Mystic also includes studying things like Tibetan Buddhism and Self Realization Fellowship and studying with various Gurus during my life as well.
After all "God is where you find him, her, the being"
So, God really just in books but in every blade of grass and in every sunny day and in the beauty of a rose or people playing music or wherever you find God.
I remember going to India in 1985 an 1986 and often people would gather around us in a circle sort of like we were gurus or something especially out in the country because they hadn't seen white people before that had been to school and were educated. It was like they were hoping some of our educatedness or wisdom would rub off on them.
It was like to them we were the Gold Plated UFOs from America and a completely unknown to them because many or most of these people hadn't even been to 1st grade. Unless you have experienced something like this where you are treated sort of like a Guru or a God or something you likely wouldn't understand what we were experiencing there.
But, all these things changed me and made me realize just how lucky even the poorest of us is here in the U.S. where we get to go to school to learn about the world and everything we can study about in the universe.
And the world is filled with people where compulsory education doesn't exist (like in India in 1985 and 1986) where people are starving for enough knowledge and wisdom to survive even one more day.
By God's Grace
