Exquisite. Toward the end of my fathers life I saw him give up the anger and mercurial nature that defined his existence. It was like you described, it was his own personal experience of God that enabled him to let go of all his hardened opinions. Hi Walter,

Obviously the debate in that field can go on forever, and that only proves that, more than ever, it has to be a personal journey of discovery where each one can arrive to his/her own conclusions. Interesting post to reflect on it, thank you :) Raul Hi Walter,

I guess you need to be receptive to have an experience like this. I wonder if I will ever be receptive enough. Very interesting how that you can have such different experience from your dad.

As an editor, I would get rid of the "elucidate and inculcate" - those are thesaurus words that should be simplified for the average reader unless in the Scientology "style" of writing, you're going to define them at the bottom of the page somewhere. Then, there is your referring to the television evangelist as a "prophet." No way. A shyster perhaps, but not a prophet in any sense of the word. What you may or may not have experienced was highly emotional, amplified (made larger) by your very stressful personal situation with your father. You were so desperate for some relief - any relief - and you got it. And that's what your so-called "prophet" wanted. You sadly fell into his trap. But that's not necessarily a horrible thing, if you didn't write a check out for $1000 afterwards as a "donation" to cover the "prophets" high production costs for the month or his wife's new Mercedes. I think your point was that God is inside of all of us. You don't have to find him at some rally, church, mosque or seek out a evangelist to perform a phony miracle. I appreciate your honesty and your sharing. If you were a student in my university class, I would give you a B - with a red note on top to "develop" the piece further and submit it again.
