I would like to talk about a specific experience I had here...In this last relationship attempt I had with the Psych. Ph.D., I discussed my spirituality with him, to which he repied, "it was all in my mind."
Since then, in the emotional recovery, I've had a very hard time returning to my spiritual base, feeling somehow that revealing that to him contributed to the rejection. Trying to manage on my own, without spiritual support or counseling. I'm okay, but now looking back to my spiritual roots. Feeling the need for this, but also wavering. Patty |

Gee, Seeker, that's hard! I think though that if we work out for ourselves what we believe, we're pretty hard to shake. My religious beliefs were shattered by reading a book. But, over the years afterwards I've built a spirituality of my own I'm very happy with and I don't think anyone could upset my beliefs now.

we have a IRL support that hubby and I facilitate and we set aside a half hour for spirituality support, so this is really neat to have here

[quote=cin1;1994530]most thoughts and experiences are in the mind i think. who is to say what is real and what is not? Because someone else disagrees does not mean you are rejected, they just reject what has been shared. no one can take away the Spiritual. i have my thoughts, my inner life does not ask for approval from any one. i don't approve of others at times.i am concerned with making life through one day at a time. should others ask me about "whatever" i am free to share. if not, then i stay to myself. cin1

I totally agree but it seems so hard to find genuine seekers. |
