I have a parent with mental illness–what I think is borderline personality disorder. I know labels are not always beneficial –but her behaviors line up with this disorder and have helped me get a grip on what is going on. The main facet of this is she is very fixated on me, and if I do not call or reach out, she calls me evil, a bad daughter, threatens suicide. It has gone on for a long time and I am at the point of really creating distance with her as my body feels it cannot handle any more threat. Is the soul behind the person with mental illness–does it just stay completely behind the veil because the vital being has taken over?⛈️🌪️🌫️🔒
It is wonderful to see the way you are taking all this with the perfect attitude of an understanding benevolence as well as detachment and

What about expectations? – carving my own path is going against everyone’s expectations – my moms that I’m not the classic marriage is my dream and fantasy kind of girl drooling over every boy I meet or not into makeup and things – my dads thinks he made me too independent.

My question is: in all religions, there is a concept of calling out to God in a time of need, anxiety, or other tough states of mind. My question is, calling out to The Mother in such a time, is it more a request for direct intercession (like Prahlad and Lord Narasimha) or more a reminder to ourselves to be less fearful? 👑🌌♾️🛡️
All religions do not believe in the intercession of God in human affairs. Religions like Buddhism and Jainism do not even believe in ‘God’. Vedanta

Jai Maa Alok Daa. I wanted your guidance. A few months back, I had a dream where I saw Mother coming towards me with a luminous white light. But the problem is that I got scared and opened my eyes, and I was shaken. Why did this happen? It was a good dream, and I should have been happy to see Maa.

Do Elves, Gnomes, and other such beings have a physical-material body? We hear stories of them acting directly on physical objects, like fixing machines and taking care of gardens.. wouldn’t vital beings require a medium? If any such beings are around, would we be able to see them with our physical eyes, without requiring any special capacities? Can they be photographed?
