How to heal from religious programming?
I’m currently being faced with family members who are deeply religious. I began my awakening in 2020 and have found enlightenment and a deeper understanding of god. My family thinks crystals are the devil, people are born of sin and anything that’s not of the “church” isn’t god. It’s so frustrating because they think I’m in need of help when I truly am just healing and awakened. Them having this perception of me is really taking a toll on me mentally. They pray for me like they think I’m evil or something. It’s so hard to not care and shake their perceptions.
How do we deal with family members who are so deeply religiously programmed? How do we handle the trauma/negativity they are projecting towards spirituality?
@emilyyoung101 I understand you. I didn't wake up until I was 52, & I still understand you. It took about 8 months for me. I sat and listened. I didn't argue. It was hard. I mean *HARD*. I practiced transmuting the feelings of anxiety, rage, abandonment, defiance, fear, etc into unconditional love. Let me tell you. Hard. I radiated love stronger & stronger every time they talked (my dad & a very distant brother) I pictured in my mind photos of peaceful protesters from the time of the Vietnam War that stood with flowers outstretched against a sea of vitriol. I kept that image in my mind. I knew better than to try & argue. We can't win these kinds of arguments. A person has to see for themselves. ... So I kept radiating love & grace no matter what. I let my anger out when I knew neither of them could hear. I had to show them the path I was on. Not tell them. But guess what? Showing them wasn't what eventually worked. I truly believe the high frequency I carried with me grew. It was stronger around them out of habit. Bc I was talking a bit of bad about them outside of their space(s). So I actually started feeling brighter around them out of habit. And it became contagious.
No. The aren't awake yet. But they are much more lovely. And we just don't talk about spirituality or religion.
My family is very small, and we are all old & tired. That, combined with no 2 families being alike means that this is just a tale of perspective and one of complete support. Remember to spend time with supportive friends. Do activities with your family that take concentration that could minimize conversation. Talk about them and their day a LOT. A lot! People love to feel important & reminding them that they are, by being interested in their day, can break down barriers. Remembering their reasoning is out of love is something to keep in mind, too).
I wish you all the best & hope for a good outcome (for the good of all) & a wonderful lesson.
I do want to add here, there's an old book I'm listening to on audible again that isn't meant to be spiritual, but actually is, that may help here. You'll want to get the updated version, bc it's from 1931, but the little stories to drive home the points are part of its beauty (to me, at least). How to Win Friends & Influence People, Dale Carnegie. It teaches things we all know, but we know it bc of this guys research. Sure, others have written similar books. You may find a different author suits your soul better! I just think this is such a tough situation, you could use more than a few sources of advice. Definitely NOT just mine! Reach out if you ever need ANYTHING!

I Love God. I have the best relationship with him ever. I can probably help you with your parents. I'm don't know if I'm religious or not.., but Billy Carson yelled at me for 2 minutes and 30 seconds for being a "Bible banger" on his YouTube live the other day. It was nauseating for me to hear someone define God as he did.
I can offer you the a greater understanding into your parents ta psyche.
I'm getting very tired of writing 100s of texts.
Anyone who wants to REALLY talk - hit me up on pm and we can exchange numbers
@square-peggy thank you. This was lovely
@luzifertoo2 Why be bothered by someone else's definition of god? It's a personal journey. The only one that matters, is yours.
The question was rhetorical😝 I send you peace, joy & unconditional love without judgment- ever.

With Ever Single One of ever one of all your replies it becomes concretely evident that none of you westerners will be Ascending, which unfortunately is the choice all of you have rigidly chosen to make.
This is GODS HOUSE and He is Coming Forward in the BIGFEST Of Ways. God is the ONLY One that Loves you All Unconditionally. That is EVIDENT because NO INE in the Universe was going to save any of You or Your Planet.., Except God - Who Sent Us, Dark Fleet to do it - as the Only Ones in the Universe who ever could..., and even with this, your "disobedience" to the Universes (God's) LITERAL INSTRUCTIONS remains fully intact.
Y'all fell in Love with the word "Gratitude"
Except when your world and yourselves are freed from 400,000 years of the most oppressive dominion the universe has ever seen
May God Help You All
Which reminds me
Your Parents Will Be Extatic
Send them my Love
The LITERAL Definition of "Duality" is "Separation" as in SEPARATION from God
The LITERAL Definition of "Unity" is Unity with God.
I used to be the Biggest atheist - so much so I burned Bibles.
Now I Have trillion dollar military contract
As Ascension Engineer for Planet Earth
Y'all didn't ever THINK that a billion Ascensions of a a billion Planets come with a billion or so "Ascension Engineers"?
Hi EA - it's nice so nice to be able to actually text that randomly until the air. Humans are the absolute worst beings in the universe as well with respect to "Communications"
Your getting so much help from the Universe its obnoxiously ridiculous what we are all doing to SAVE you- literally from yourselves and not "the evil Elites". They were SIMPLE to "deal with" compared to you all.
This is your alls "2 month report card" since I got here. My first post was the only post that you needed to hear. That none of you except Mike from NH heard
@emilyyoung101 You can check EA's video on how to handle family: https://elizabethapril.com/video-post/so-your-family-thinks-youre-crazy/
@luzifertoo2 my friend, I will stop responding. I merely wanted to engage in a little thought conversation & I do not & never have had a way with words. I do apologize from the depths of my soul & my heart & I do truly wish you the best in this life & beyond. I would never want to impart pain or disgust in another. When I have opinions that may differ, my weird brain enjoys understanding (but often misunderstanding) the other side. It appears I have messed up here. I am deeply sorry. I will not engage further. I do respect you. Take care. 😔🧚🏼♀️🕊I'm sorry.

Miss this entire World and everyone unfortunately on it has been severely separated and put into isolation cages. The primary Mechanism that acts as the tangible isolation chambers that EVERYONE in the west encageded themselves in is texting and emailing and reducing correspondence and communication to "watching YouTube videos"
I private messaged you. You can CALL me - and FINALLY be one of the First Humans in this Planet to Authentically "break the silence"
