Sharing a spiritual experience

I have been aware and open to the spiritual realms since I was a child.
Although I did not like the rigidity of the religious services I had to attend in my younger years, I loved the je ne sais quoi of the atmosphere. Even back then, I loved the spirituality but did not care for the religion itself or the religiosity.

Besides going to Mass every Sunday, I also went to the  evening services at our small French village church. Everyone in this village was Roman Catholic. It is only later in life that I discovered and studied other faiths and points of view.
During those services, I remember the songs played with the organ whose sounds resonated beautifully.
Once I went to high school in the city nearby, I separated myself from the faith I had grown up with. In the late 60s and early 70s, the philosophers that were most popular on campus were Jean-Paul Sartre, the most persuasive non-believer of the 20th century and  equally known  philosopher and novelist, Simone de Beauvoir. Both were existentialists.
Wikipedia says this about existentialism " In existentialism, the individual's starting point is characterized by what has been called "the existential attitude", or a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world." 
Needless to say, I found it all downright confusing and depressing.
On top of that, communism was creeping into the French classrooms. I always remember my senior year philosophy teacher, Mr. Guegenat, who told us at least once a week, during the whole school year, that he was a communist and proud of being one too.
So before graduating from high school, even before college, I had experienced two extremes: the sheltered world in the village where the assurance of a loving God was real and the confusing world of the philosophers at the time who said the total opposite.
As time went by, I had to sort this all out and figure out what my personal opinion was. I trusted my experiences the most because they were so personal and I am so grateful I had many through the years. I realized that every person may have a different opinion as their views of life and ways they create their reality vary.


Let me share now a profound experience that happened to me yesterday.
I was doing an Emotion Code session over the phone with a lady . Her brother had been admitted in the hospital for severe burns and, when she called me, she was obviously very concerned about him. He was so much on her mind that I found that many emotions, that she said he had, were showing in her energy field. This happens when two people are deeply bonded in heart, their energy bodies merge. During the session, all of s sudden, I felt Mother Mary's presence. I asked the lady what connection she had with Mother Mary. She then said that her family had come from Ireland and that they were of the Catholic faith. She also said that the priest had given her brother a picture of Mother Mary and they put it at the foot of his hospital bed. So what I picked up is Mother Mary's energy that was with this lady's brother through her energy. I was blown away.
What I felt strongly then is that those ancestors had prayed to Mother Mary to protect their children and grand children... and because of those prayers, her presence is now felt so strongly.


What came to mind then, another ah ha moment here, is that "the prayers of the fathers are visited upon the children". We are all familiar with the Bible verse that says that the sins of the father are visited upon the children.
My experience yesterday showed me that the prayers of the fathers/mothers are also visited upon their descendants. This realization was so very clear. 
I am still in awe of this realization.


It is so comforting to know that all prayers said to the Beings in the Higher Realms, no matter who they are/no matter what faith....all prayers said to God/ the universe are like a deposit of love and energy, similar to a monetary deposit made in a bank. That love and energy cannot be destroyed or downsized, it is there and can be used even generations later when someone needs extra help.
How precious this is! It reminds me of the saying: "Life is precious, handle it with prayer." Now I know, prayers transcend time and space, even generations of a family.
Could we say that they 'rollover'? Yes, of course!
I am very grateful for this experience!
