I like your article a lot.

I had 6 children because I thought I would be creating a world that would value me. Where we could share the experience of existence together in joy. WRONG!

This world is already what it is and what MUST happen is the undoing and untangling of the idea of ownership by another.

Just like a relationship is not with one person but a whole clan and all of their dysfunction.

It was put on me to do everything for the kids, yet most have felt that I am that one that is at fault for all their issues.

The body has long been looked at as tool for political, economic, and social purposes.

Interestingly, A Course in Miracles Urtext states that the purpose of the body is to eventually find itself UNNECESSARY. Seriously!

We are eternal beings of consciousness and science has proven that what we CALL matter is not at all.

There is much we will learn in the relatively near future that will put us on a very different path than we are on today.

We were created to be FREE CREATORS not bound to any given authority other than God and ourselves as His Son.

My children have taught me a lot and I am very grateful for them, but I do not encourage the birth of children anymore without a serious conviction that this is what they are to do.

(I actually survived FOR my children for many years and had to learn to survive and thrive for myself.)

The guidance of the Holy Spirit that knows all of us completely and will guide us out of this mess we have made with the idea of separation from God and Self is the most valuable voice you will ever listen to and, as Jesus says in the Course, your ONLY friend.

Excluding himself, even! The Holy Spirit is the guidance he follows. And I have come to know of the Holy Spirit's importance in my life.

Anyway, thanks for your article.

I understand that you are an atheist, and I can fully respect your choice there.

I meant no disrespect by my comments.

Carry on! And thank you!
