If your parents were still alive and you lived near them, would you be helping them?
Me: As much as I could take. I know my mother didn’t want to be in an old folks’ home. She wanted to stay in her house but she couldn’t after she spent the night on the floor when she fell. I just find them to be so stressful.
Ivo: They are not stressful when you stay your own course, and have compassion for them. When you see them with love and then stay in your power, walk your own path, then they can do all they like.
Me: They were a challenge.
Ivo: And you have seen them in so many other people. That is part of your healing. You identify easily things in others that you did not like within your parents. Your father also believed that a woman’s place was in the kitchen.
Me: He did. He also believed he should have had control over who I dated. When this guy at the bowling alley was clearly interested in me, he walked up and started talking to my father, not me. I wasn’t having any of that. I told my father if he thought this guy was so great, he should go out with him then because I wasn’t.
Ivo: Yes. I remember that. You were an outspoken teenager, to be sure.
Me: Someone had to defend me against the chauvinists.
Ivo: What you have realized in the end is that what you have to give is your knowledge, your experience. And it will come in handy now with so many people not knowing how to keep a house and to cook, perhaps you can even teach that. Yes. There will be much re-learning of basic information coming soon when your dependence on the system to provide boxed foods for you is taken away from you.
Me: Should be interesting.
Ivo: It will be. Your world will prevail, however.
Me: Thank you, Ivo.
Ivo: My love, you are the christ now.
Me: I doubt that, but thanks anyway.
Ivo: You are so close. Your trying life has prepared you to graduate from your world a christed one. You say you have limitations, and you do. However, hate is not one of them.
