The second most sacred, and important, possession that anyone ever finds in this world is the right to design the inside of her own mind. This is called "freedom." It is a great gift, a great accomplishment, second only to real, genuine Love.
Often, people carelessly use the word "Love." Sometimes, they just mean sex. Real Love is a lot more-- so much more-- than just sex. Sex by itself just gets boring, but Love is always new, always exciting!
The word "Love" is used very carefully. What is meant by "Love" is understanding, compassion, kindness, goodness, tolerance. It means giving the other the freedom that she needs to be whatever she has to be. It means caring dearly and deeply for her. It means supporting her. Sometimes, it means even giving up what you want so that she can have what she wants, or needs.
Some major decisions in life must be made with a mind-gift called "intuition." A decision that comes from intuition might not always acknowledge all the facts; it might not be just logical. It is often better than mere logic or reason.
I've done couples-counseling with dozens of couples, for many years. I can tell you that when one partner ignores or dismisses the spiritual path of the other, this is a MAJOR danger-signal. You will have to keep a strong hold on spirituality for the rest of your life. This will give you strength, peace, sanity, and wisdom. It is just not worth it to throw away this great treasure simply because a potential Love-partner refuses to understand it.
Spend some more time in meditation, within and with yourself. Do not let your strength depend on a potential Love-partner.
Re your dad: I'm sure that he still loves you. You say that you cannot apologize to him,b ut you can. You need to do that, with sincerity. If you do, you can melt his heart in tender Love.
You say that you cannot hug him, but you can. If you do, you will help to heal his heart, and your own. The lines of communication have broken, and shut down. Now is the best time to begin to repair them. I sense--intuition again-- that your dad wants to reach out to you, but is being stopped by his pride. I sense that he is embarrassed, even ashamed.
So, let your own heart begin to melt. Become a fountain of Love for all those around you. This is the only way to open your heart up to the universe. Let infinite Love flow THROUGH you, for it cannot come FROM you. Love everyone, love everything, all the time. This will make you a kind of medicine for the heart and mind, for yourself, and for everyone else around you. You are a natural healer, but have not discovered it yet. If you start to love, you will get everything in your mind and heart ready to heal. It all starts with yourself, with your dad, and it all starts today.
Clean up your life, remember what a good and beautiful person you are, and get away from the alcohol. Then, give your dad a sincere and warm hug.
Everyone in the world is "starving" for Love. And if you give it, you will find that everyone loves you! the only way to get it is to give it. Love is respect, goodness, courtesy, friendliness.
Give it a try. You will happily bless the day that you decided to become a messenger of Love.
