Welcome Divine Being:
Today I will discuss the God concept I received as a child and with all due respect to All.
Raised Spiritually by my grandmother, absolute Divine Love. I felt save, protected and so Loved. Then, as I became old enough to go to church with an older cousin, I heard about Hell, the Devil, Sin, Punishment, Suffering, Pain and the nightmare began. I don’t need to tell you how traumatizing this was for a child that had been surrounding by nothing but Love. So, I am forced to go to catechism and there I witness the nuns threatening the children and actually hitting them. This was so unlike the God I knew and felt to be true. I loved the feel of the church when no one was there and I felt comfortable. Otherwise, I didn’t belong because it caused an unnatural fear in me.
