|     it is the seventeenth day of the third month of the 105th year since a nation was publicly recognised<br/> | ||||
|      | ||||
|     It's the twenty-third day of my challenge to eat vegetarian for forty days. | ||||
|   <br /> | ||||
|     I went to a gathering where people talked about Christianity. At the end, I wondered, aloud, what kind of person | ||||
|     G!D is. I said in the group discussion that I can't open my heart easily to Him, and told those people in the small group | ||||
|     that I am of the kind who are more suspicious. Afterwards, a <strike>woman</strike> person in the group came up to me | ||||
|     and said that she sensed yearning and a lot of resistance in me. She also showed me a quote by Joseph Campbell, which | ||||
|     went: 'the greatest treasures are in the caves that you fear most to tread'. She asked me how I was feeling. I told her | ||||
|     I felt thankful for the opportunity for discussion. I don't think that covered the depth of my feelings. | ||||
|      | ||||
|     I am angry. I feel anger towards G!D. Where was He when I was hurt, upset or forced to do things [under oppression]? | ||||
|     How can the people at the discussion talk about G!D's plan for me, when He feels distant? | ||||
|      | ||||
|     I feel naked. I feel like the outcast of the group in a reality show [on television], unable and unwilling to join the | ||||
|     group in their comfort, solidarity, trust and security in the group. I feel left out. I feel lonely. Most of all, I | ||||
|     feel afraid. I feel afraid to trust again in someone, something or G!D himself. I feel very vulnerable. | ||||
|      | ||||
|     I went to a <strike>psychiatric</strike> mental-health institution to seek help, attention and resolution. I expected | ||||
|     liberty, but I experienced coercion and oppression [even when I was finite in resources and energy, that is,  | ||||
|     more precisely, needy, as in one of the needy or poor]. I learnt that I could not leave the ward at Acme Institute,  | ||||
|     even if I wanted. [the name of the institute is masked, or anonymised - Jesus said: 'Be merciful, as your Master, who bought you for a price,  | ||||
|     is merciful]. I learnt that the doctor, people who spent time with me previously (who said, "I am your father" and | ||||
|     "I am your mother"), and the social worker decided where and when I would stay and/or leave the ward [in the sense that | ||||
|     their approval, or authorisation, or their company, was required, for those to happen, as I had observed]. I was | ||||
|     pressured into taking <strike>medication</strike> by nurses, despite my | ||||
|     wishes to not consume them; | ||||
|     I was threatened with an indefinite incarceration in the hospital. | ||||
|     although i wanted to leave, I could not. how can people  | ||||
|     say G!D has s plan  for me when G!D feels so  | ||||
|     far away as I went through that? | ||||
|      | ||||
|     <i>from the writer: as the Quran says, even the prophets | ||||
|     and the fellow who were with them, cried out,  | ||||
|     'our Lord 1 where are you / verily, verily, the mercy of  g1d is near 1' | ||||
|     </i> | ||||
|      | ||||
|     Can somebody tell me that was G1D's plan for <strike>me | ||||
|     </strike> | ||||
|     sure? | ||||
|      | ||||
|     the remark that gave me the greatest emotional impact | ||||
|     was that G!D loved me unconditionally. | ||||
|      | ||||
|     <strike> | ||||
|       It felt like a hand  | ||||
|     </strike> | ||||
|         <i>from the writer: 'wipe the tears from your eyes. be dismayed  | ||||
|           no more. For I, the LORD G!D, have struck | ||||
|           you in anger, for your sins were flagrant, | ||||
|           but you- you- I will have compassion | ||||
|           on you. You belong to Me, O Israel, | ||||
|           though I have scattered you into | ||||
|           distant lands and nations, and you | ||||
|           were stricken. You belong to Me, | ||||
|           and you will be with Me for-ever. <br/><br/> | ||||
|           Praise be to G!D. I praise You, | ||||
|           for You have shown lovingkindness, | ||||
|           even to a poor spirit, a lowly heart, | ||||
|           a wretch like myself. | ||||
|           <br/> | ||||
|           Burst into song, mountains! <br/> | ||||
|           Tap-dance, trees! <br/> | ||||
|           Glow and flare, o stars! <br/> | ||||
|           For the LORD G!D hath redeemed for Himself | ||||
|           a daughter, a son, a nation, a city!' <br/><br/> | ||||
|      | ||||
|           (what? would you rather G!D take angels for | ||||
|           daughters, and cherubims for sons?)<br/><br/> | ||||
|            | ||||
|           Praise be to G!D (thank you, Daddy)  | ||||
|           <br/> | ||||
|            | ||||
|           Wipe your tears from your eyes.  | ||||
|           Do not be dismayed. <br/> | ||||
|            | ||||
|           Gardens of bliss, under which rivers | ||||
|           flow, spouses delighting in each other, | ||||
|           the objective of life, the felicity most high, | ||||
|           absolute beauty, supreme over all other felicity, | ||||
|           for the good pleasure of G!D, the Cherisher | ||||
|           and Sustainer of the Worlds. <br/> | ||||
|            | ||||
|           Thou art my shepherd; | ||||
|           I shall not want. <br/> | ||||
|            | ||||
|           I know no other Rock. | ||||
|           There is none like You. | ||||
|           I know no other Stone. | ||||
|           I know no other G!D. <br/> | ||||
|            | ||||
|           Blessed is He who hath given rest to His | ||||
|           people. May all nations come to know | ||||
|           that our Lord is G!D, and that there | ||||
|           is no other G!D other than He, and that  | ||||
|           G!D is our G!D. To G!D be to the glory  | ||||
|           for-ever and ever. Amen. (so it is). <br/> | ||||

|     <strike>It felt like a hand, gently being placed against my  | ||||
|     heart.</strike> | ||||
|      | ||||
|     It felt like a piece of cloth being thrown against | ||||
|     my face. 'You don't have to earn that love,' that person | ||||
|     said. What if that was true? How can I trust G!D | ||||
|     not to hurt me? How can I trust G!D to not leave | ||||
|     me on my own? How can someone say, 'If you believe in | ||||
|     G!D, you will go through suffering' so matter-of-factly? | ||||
|     I don't want. | ||||
|      | ||||
|     Why does G!D make me suffer? If He is there, why does | ||||
|     G!D allow people to suffer? Very briefly, I also | ||||
|     wonder how we can end suffering, G!D or not. | ||||
|      | ||||
|     G!D. what will You do with me if I open my heart  | ||||
|     to you? | ||||
|      | ||||
|     Who gave me food, shelter and clothes when I was | ||||
|     looking for them? | ||||
|      | ||||
|     <i> | ||||
|     from the writer: 'I, the LORD G!D, have forgotten | ||||
|       your sins, and remember them no more. | ||||
|       as I said in the days of Noah after  | ||||
|       the flood, I will not again cause | ||||
|       another world-destroying flood.' <br/> | ||||
|       "I promise | ||||
|       I will never stop doing good to her, and remind | ||||
|       her to fear me, and keep my commandment," saith | ||||
|       G!D, the Lord of lords, and King of kings. | ||||
|       <br/> | ||||
|       (O LORD, our Father, you are the potter, we  | ||||
|       are the clay; we are all the work of Your hands) | ||||
|       <br/> | ||||
|       I will never tire of praising G!D<br/> | ||||
|       I praise You, oh LORD, for I am fearfully | ||||
|       and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful; | ||||
|       that I know full well. | ||||
|     </i> <br/> | ||||
|     <br/> | ||||
|     [Who gave me food, shelter and clothes when I was | ||||
|     looking for them?] | ||||
|     I needed those. Is it G!D? Is G!D there? | ||||
|     What does G!D do to people? I felt resentful towards G!D; | ||||
|     I'm not sure if I still do. | ||||
|      | ||||
|     <i>from the writer: the end of a thing is as powerful | ||||
|       as its beginning. and the patient in spirit is superior | ||||
|       to the proud in spirit. (as written in Scripture) | ||||
|       <br/> I love you, G!D.<br/> | ||||
|       G!D hath no begotten son, | ||||
|       and has no beings attached. (as written in Scripture | ||||
