Each of these posts thus far (Linda, Kathleen, Adeline and Susan) have touched me in different ways. I so appreciate your sharing. What resonates with me is the freedom to make conscious choices when awakened to the blindness of mythic membership consciousness. I remember as a very young child having this clear sense of what was true and right for me — a kind of innate truth sensor. When put into a religious grade school, I knew that what I was being taught about God was not true and stood my ground, even as a very shy and introverted child. Looking back, there was some amazing moments of taking a different direction than “the crowd.” This truth sensor was lost and subjugated as I grew older and wanted to fit in and be liked. But when I started the spiritual journey in my 30’s, it slowly resurfaced, along with a greater freedom to see differently and make different choices again. Alleluia! – Pamela
