Tales of Recovery~The relief of thanking G.O.D. again~

What happens after a huge deconstruction of belief systems? The grief and anger of going through the process of a spiritual breakdown and realizing that the G.O.D. and certain stories and creeds I grew up and was programmed to believe were a fraud? It took me years to 1)speak up about my doubts and anxiety about non-inclusive faiths, and 2) once I did speak up all hell broke loose (no pun intended)!I felt like a rug was swiped from under my feet.  The journey of grief is no joke.  It takes courage and it takes time.  For a long time I could not say the word G.O.D. because I felt like a hypocrite- and my kids felt something similar.  What to do when you quit a religion?  After two years of interfaith spiritual direction, Thanatology and Spiritual Intelligence courses, YTT, and seeking silence and contemplative practices like mindfulness and mediation PLUS digging deep into listening to my Higher Self: I can finally say the GOD word and feel relief at the fact that I'm not cringing. PTSD is for real.  Now, you can call it Universe, Spirit, Love, Reality, Mother Earth, Consciousness etc: it is just another language for something so BIG not even the name can describe this Creation Power.  No wonder the Israelites did not mention the 'name'.  My process of RE-covery so far with this longing for more and the expansion of my spirit on this week's episode of Tales of Recovery~  May you know you are never alone in doubting, May you find the courage to speak up and find YOUR way~
