Thanks Mary and Maxine for your advice and recommendations. The advice about how to use a book is really really helpful. I've now found this book also which focuses in particular on feeling burdened by or responsible for a parent. It's a textbook but not so technical and some good descriptions of fe...

Hi Joakim I'd just like to add that for me the words practical and prayer did not go together at all. I felt prayer was some sort of airy fairy concept that was never ever going to work ...because I had no faith in God and no faith in me and no faith in love. I had no desire to pray at all and I was...

I'd like to add this song to this category (If I Fell - Sananda Matreiya (Terence Trent D'Arby) version of a Beatle's song) as it covers some of the issues I have in sincerely longing for God's Love and wanting to block it instead.

The presentation recommended by Nicky is very good indeed and titled 20120212 The Human Soul - Discovering and Connecting to Desires Q &A. Such a lot of good suggestions about blocks to desires and how following true desires brings joy. I feel I had given up on feeling much joy in my life really - I...

Hi Angharad If you wanted to learn more about denial or what denial really is I've found this talk very useful. http://youtu.be/uMJKj158XkE I've found I think that I know what a term like denial or rebellion means or I've skipped over it because I've assumed I understand it when really I don't yet. ...

Hi again Arvana I wantd to add something I've been looking at and doing myself, that is, that even though I have had the feeling that God doesn't exist I can also see (because of the existence of laws, mathematics, natural beautiful things etc) that God could exist and God could be good. I could eng...

Hi Teresa I'd just like to comment a little on two areas I've noticed that we might have in common and struggle with. First being harsh and punishing when we don't get something or are going backwards in fact a huge horror of not keeping up and making the grade. I've struggled immensely with admitti...
