Talking openly about bits and pieces of Dolores Cannon's books and a Netflix documentary about Near-Death experiences (I believe it is called Surviving Death, and was produced by the University of Virginia (Who has a whole department dedicated to the metaphysical, believe it or not!) if you're interested) with my parents, mostly my mother.
I'd opened up about my beliefs in the past, what they were (vaguely), but I feel less scared now, as in not afraid of judgement, and I am excited to simply to be able to share with someone close to me. It was spurred on by a conversation about whether she agreed with the statement "Everybody is understandable" and somehow it veered into the spiritual. It felt like it could have been guided, to open their minds up to this. The moment just felt right, or aligned maybe, it just felt good finally (I almost all the time feel off, or wrong in some vague way and it makes me feel restless and I don't know what to do about it), but maybe it is just my mind/ego making me think it is aligned because I want it to be aligned, to know that it was a guided moment in my life. Or maybe I am doubting my intuition, however small it felt there. Not even sure how intuition comes to you, and I haven't become familiar enough to recognize mine, maybe I am overthinking it and not seeing intuition where it comes to me. I don't know.
I feel my mother is slightly wary due to fear of the unknown. She multiple times said speaking about the topic gave her chills (I remember having chills too, so I can empathize, but now it is so common in my life to think about that I don't feel the same as I did about it, rather it feels just a comfort. I am 21 and as far as I am aware, it is going to be a long road ahead of me and I have a lot to do and overcome. But I will have my spirit guides around me, and hopefully I can talk to them as easily as I wish to in the future) and she of course has beliefs that would be challenged, beliefs held for as long as she has held hers (around 60 years, and I believe she is agnostic/atheistic but grew up catholic), which is never an easy thing to deal with.
I was careful and made sure I didn't sound like I was forcing them on her, just sharing what was from the book that I felt comfortable sharing out of the simple excitement of sharing them with another person finally, but also that it seemed to pique her interest slightly and as well that it did flow with the conversation. She openly brought up the concept of alien souls, which ignited my interest and surprised me slightly (My mom, talking about alien souls. Wow.), but I did not say anything about what I knew about them, I think I decided I would let her discover that on her own, if she ever ends up doing so.
Overall, back when I was 15, I never imagined she would understand, let alone be interested. I just assumed she would call me crazy and judge me. But now she is saying maybe we can watch the Near-Death experience documentary sometime this week, when she is in the state of mind or mood to watch it. I am glad I opened up to them, I feel happy, happy that I am helping them expand their minds so that they don't fear death and grieve over the loss of the people they have lost in their lives, at the very least not in the same way, or to a lesser extent. To make them question and have a small hope that maybe death is not the end makes me happy and also excited to help expand their minds further, if I can.
Thank you very much for reading !
