What you say that universities and churches cannot produce such teachers, that teach based on their own knowledge, feels so true. A few years ago, a teaching assistant scolded me for using “collective unconscious” in a proposed thesis saying, “it’s not grounded in an argument that’s logical, and not even real, so don’t use even use it.” If I don’t write papers about what the professor and established field says is “true,” then I get in trouble.

In regards to religion, I never understood how I was supposed to believe in something based on faith, just because a person says it’s true, even if it doesn’t make sense.

A lot of things I experience personally on a daily basis, I can never really share, for fear of being called “crazy,” because those experiences aren’t “normal” since they involve what I perceive as being beyond the physical realm. I see the magical world of Spirit as being more real, although I hesitate to share it. But your site gives me encouragement on my journey, so I want to thank you. Your blogs at Hampton Roads and your website are a Light in my life, and inspire me.

Sincerely,
Naomi
