Concerning Jesus, i have a very personal opinion, maybe right, maybe wrong. But think about. I think people only can love when they know what is love, how it feels to love, and for it, they first must feel how is to be loved. I think nobody can love if they dont "learned" or "felt" what love is like. So, Jesus come to this earth and died for us, loving us in the greatest conceivable way. And then, when we feel the love He showed for us, we can love the another people.
Anyway, again, i wish the best for you. And im much more relieved knowing that you are having this realizations, that will light your way.
So, good luck, and keep shining! :thumbsup:

BTW, you see as meditation helps a lot... you said that your family is catholic... well... my aunt is a very devout catholic also, and she went to an "workshop" for How to Pray in an Efficient Way, How to Enter in Contact with God, and such. She showed me the techniques she learned, and it was almost identical to the techniques of meditation used by buddhist, and such. It seems the priest who did write the book just translated oriental texts of meditation to a catholic language... but the essencial is absolutely the same... so, meditating, praying, whatever, are just different names for entering in contact with God.
If i can find some information about it in the net, i will post the link for you. Maybe it will help you with your parents.
Thank you very much coelho, your posts have been extremely helpful to me over the past week or so, you have helped me through some of my roughest days with your understanding and compassion on my situation. I can recall some mornings where I would wake up feeling confused and lost and then I would think about what I read in your posts the previous night and it comforted me knowing there was someone else out there that cared, and could relate and sympathize with my situation. I don't know If I could come to my realization without your help and I truly thank you for that. God Bless!

(spiritual discussion) :(OK I think this is really serious and I don't know if anyone has gone through this or not. But here it goes - It all started 2 days ago - I went to sleep one night having no idea I was about to embark on by far the most powerful / strangest dreams I have ever had in my entire life. I went to sleep around 1AM. - I found myself sitting in the backseat of the truck with about 4 other people in the car maybe 3- I'm pretty sure I knew all of them but I don't remember exactly who they were.
