Can you awaken a hypocrite?

Tom: The Freedom Of Choice should be published and marketed intensly. It's a wonderful book/lesson to integrate/ponder.

I'm fifty years old this last April. Been around for a long time. The problem that I see is that people just don't get it. They say that they are religious, blah blah blah. But they are, if pushed, lieing, cheating out for themselves jerks. They just can't seem to understand/believe that this is an experience. This is not reality. We are spirit. That is the reality. We are here for a reason, I guess to test our mettle, true deep down moral fiber, who we REALLY are when put to the test.

I think that most people have to seek God to experience God. I did. I've had an experience where someone has actually adjusted my crown chakra I think because I keep coming slightly out of my body because of yoga, meditation but mostly breathing exercises. I think the breathing is essential. It has had the most dramatic effect on me.

Don't people ever just stop and say 'What in the world is going on here'? 'Where am I and who am I, and what am I supposed to be doing'? From what I have seen, most people say that they understand this, but they don't live it which tells me that they do not understand, AT ALL!

My own husband has never had anything spiritual happen to him ever. He does not believe/understand. If I try to tell him truth, it just doesn't wash if you know what I mean. It just isn't the same as knowing. I am reminded of Michel saying that it isn't enough to have faith, you can KNOW. Or something close to that. I can relate to that so much.

I understand how difficult it is to KNOW something and try to tell people the truth, but they don't listen and truly believe unless they experience it for themselves.

How do you get people to seek the truth? How do you get people to WANT to do this? It makes all of the difference in the world if you do this. I think that maybe it's a matter of maturing. I guess they will do it when they are ready. I feel that this is what you are trying to do with The Freedom Of Choice, but maybe you should write about your experiences more. I'm guessing that you are aware of much more then you've expressed.

There are hundreds of books out there about how to experience the spiritual world, but maybe it's time for a new one.

Belle

2000 years ago a great individual has tried to inspire people with abilities well beyond our reach today.

He made "miracles", let himself be tortured and killed and even came back to life on the 3rd day after being murdered. How many people today understand what he was trying to do and WHY?

Is humanity on Earth beyond help?

Can one book, even if it is "the best of the best " make people THINK if they do not want to?

Tom

I think you are being a bit hard on people, Belle. Everyone must find their own spiritual path in their own time. I get cross with all the materialism, violence, and ignorance then find myself falling down on the spiritual path. I say look for the good in everyone, most of us have something! Cripeys I hope I don't sound too pious, because I ruddy well am not! I have questioned why the hell I am here since I started going to Sunday School and this yelling fire and brimstone Minister scared the wits out of me that we could die tomorrow and none of us would be saved unless....I never understood what the unless was because I was crying or scared too stupid to think!

I have made peace with myself by reasoning that this life is a learning experience, the more horrors and trials we face and survive and learn from must be making us stronger and nearer to our Source. I thank Tom for starting his books and websites so we can at least read of others like us struggling with the same problems and also the great discoveries our Earthly bodies face here each day.

I also wanted to know more about Tom's personal trials to use the information to help me but now I think I respect his privacy and try to focus on my children, husband and day to day living and try to improve or enjoy that. We were given this life and body for a reason and as Tom said we chose it so it is up to us to make the most of it. I also meditate, I think of Tom, Michel, Thao, and all of you everyday, and that really helps me get on with my own life in a positive way. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
