The lack of 'Balance' in spirituality

The lack of "Balance" in spirituality ~ This is one of my biggest pet peeves. This is one of those things, that as a conscious empath, with high intuition, being a minister of Divinity, a teacher of emotional insights and consciousness, sorry, had to do this, wording it this way, for having such an intense level of awareness to this part of life, it takes everything that I have not to overstep anyone's personal boundaries, when I see the seed of stupidity playing its hand.

I have been walking a very bizarre life. I would like to think it started when I was 27, but the truth is, I have been aware of this part of life, since I was a kid. In our house, we had to go to Sunday mass, every Sunday and then we would come home, have Sunday dinner and I would watch my parents have a go at their emotional imbalances.

I was a kid, remember thinking, what on earth is the point to Sunday mass, every Sunday, if this is what we are going to come home to anyway? Did I mention, that I was 5 and my siblings were each a year younger ~ that would be 2, 3, 4, and 5, me. When the drama would start, they looked to me for protection.

I was 25, when I finally found a good counselor to heal and understand my childhood life. In the meantime, my metaphysical and spiritual journey began. I admit, it had been awhile since I had witnessed or experienced imbalances, Spiritually or Religiously, from others.

It was while living in Florida, that I would eventually set myself up for witnessing Sunday churchgoers, after mass, in the supermarket. You see, as an empath, not only did it take me many years to learn how, when and where to be at certain times, I had to follow through with where I was and how crowded places would be. Being an empath is like being a chameleon and a sponge. It takes years to learn where personal boundaries begin and end.

In the meantime, I began witnessing the most bizarre and meanspirited behavior between parent and child and it threw me and it was like being transported back to my childhood with Sunday mass and then my parents going off on each other, with us in the background. The age old question of what is the point, if this is the way that it is.

Well, with many experiences and years under my belt, I now get what the imbalance in Spirituality, Religion is. As an empath, it is never my intention to hurt anyones feelings, but the imbalance is coming from our humanity, our human attitude, our human behavior. Not sure how or when this actually happened,
