1-416-561-5780Compare the text you wrote in the first part of this exercise (List-A – Your current perception of God), with the list of feelings expressed by the child during his Guided Meditation, when he looked at the portraits on the walls of the hall in the castle (List-B).
List-A expresses his intellectual understanding of God, while List-B tends to express his emotional perception (tinted by his beliefs) about authority figures and, ultimately, the supreme authority: God.
What connections can you establish between the feelings expressed by the child and scenes or events from his childhood? If you identified such connections, how did you react, as a child, to such situations? How do you see these events now, and how do you think a mature adult should react today, if he found himself in a somewhat analogous situation?
How do lists A and B compare?
Are the perceptions expressed by the child (List-B) compatible with your current understanding of God? (List-A)
Is there any relationship between the feelings expressed by the child (List-B) and the personality traits of his/her parents?
What do you think God must not like very much about you?
Do you have complaints about God? Do you blame God for any misfortune in your life or that of your family?
Do you remember any decisively positive occurrence in your life or that of your family that you attribute to Divine intervention?
