Introduction
My name is Abram Wilks and I've listened to Divine Truth now for about 9 months. I'm a married father of two. I'm also a psychotherapist and find the Divine Truth concepts, perspectives, and path to be beneficial in my practice and in my personal life. At this point in my progression I have a lot of intellectual understanding of the errors and path to heal them, though am still in a lot of resistance, rebellion, and avoidance. I truly lack faith and need to repair my relationship with God. I have gone back and forth from being humble and motivated with faith to feeling hopeless and frustrated. One of the hardest things for me on this path is wanting instant gratification and feedback that what I'm doing (emotional work) is working and productive. I know I haven't gotten to causal emotions regarding certain issues and find the emotional work for those issues hard to go into feeling that they are unproductive. I look to further my understanding and growth by being a part of this forum and hope at some point can be of benefit to others. Thank you for creating this forum as many I share these concepts with are very resistant.
Re: Introduction
Hi Abram
Welcome to the forums. When I first came across Divine Truth and started applying it in my life, I too looked at progress in a goal orientated fashion rather than seeing it as just a constant process/experiment where the end goal is feeling emotion. I had issues with humility early on (and still do) but now I see the error in my approach initially.
I'd maybe suggest to allow yourself to feel the frustration because frustration is a form of anger and that usually covers huge amounts of grief underneath so you might have some luck with trying that.
Nice to meet you.

Re: Introduction
Thanks for the feedback. I can see how my destination driven approach is really a judgment of myself and a desire to be good enough, hence the grief you were probably suggesting is there. There is most likely much more there that is to be discovered. Nice to meet you as well and thanks again.
