There is so much to say that I don't even know where to begin. Know this.
I am who I am. I believe what I believe. You can love me or you can leave me. It is that simple.
"I believe in mysteries and miracles and the magic of a new day. I believe in angels and natural wonders and the beauty inside people. I believe in rainbows and happy endings and dreams come true." ~Unknown
To sit there and say that I am a fool because I believe in things that cannot be seen is tantamount to ignorance. We can not see the air we breathe. We can not see another's voice. One can not see love. One can not see laughter. One can not see pain. Are these things any less real?
Science has proven that everything in this world consists of energy. You can not see the sub-atomic particles that are the foundation of our phyisical world. Does that mean they do not exist?
If the great minds of our time subscribed to this theory that in order for something to be real, it must first be seen, where would we be today? We would be without lights, without medicine, without transportation. We would still be cavemen pleased that we had fire and the wheel. Our world is the way that it is because every day throughout human existence, great people decided to believe first. Edison knew that electricity could be harnessed not because he had seen it done but because he believed it to be so. Would you have thought him a fool?
Alternative forms of healing are being taught in major institutions all across the world. And hospitals everywhere are embracing these same methods and incorporating them with Western ideologies, not because they are trying to lead the sheep to the pits of ignorance, but because these methods are being proven to be real, both by science and by human experience, every day. Even the power of prayer is gaining indisuptable evidence of its effectiveness.
And some things will always go beyond measure. We as a people may never prove the existence of God. We may never be able to define the soul. There may never be glasses that allow us to see spirits or auras or invisible energy. But there will always be believers.
I am a believer. It is part of who I am.

Your voice is very clear in this, Triniti. I think your argument is very concise, and to the point and well spoken. Hopefully your husband can hear you, and not just shut out your words, like people do when something doesn't fit their frame of the world. I'm with you, stand strong for yourself and what you know to be truth, at least for yourself, and you will be given exactly what you need. Just be prepared if it doesn't look exactly as you imagine. You are loved. Keep remembering who you are, you are a manifestation of divinity, you are every mountain, every tree, every ant, every leaf, and every human being, you are me, and you are James as well. So step back and try to understand what you (through James) is trying to tell yourself. Turn off the personal switch just long enough to understand his attitude not only as a lesson for him, but also a lesson for you. Be well sister...
