LINDA’S STORY

Charlene Holland left school in her senior year in 1948. Then school only went to the Eleventh grade. Earnistine her older sister had a child out of wedlock and mother was extremely embarrassed. The way the story goes is that most of our mother's high school friends were high society or well established families in the area and she was just embarrassed that this had happened to her sister.

Mother went to stay with a family friend in Atlanta and to find a job but that didn't really work out like she planned. Mother ended up being an operator for the Telephone Co. She meets a nice young man who actually was from her hometown as well.

It wasn't long before Charlene was headed back to Rockmart to her mom. When my grandmother and grandfather found out mother was pregnant now they demanded she marry the father of her child. You see they had ended up raising mother sister's child as their own.

Mother was extremely upset. She told me she didn't love W.D. her child's father. Mother was petite and had a cute figure but she lost a lot of weight from being so upset and being distraught. She was a shell of herself.

Linda was born on November 17, 1950 to William David Shanks and Janie Charlene Holland Shanks. I always will believe the reason Linda had emotional issues as a child was because of mother's emotional state while she was pregnant with Linda. All throughout Linda's childhood and adult life, Linda has been plagued with emotional issues. Linda also lived a life full of tragedy and heart break.

Recently, I was struck by a post from a Facebook friend that talked about two of the conditions my sister, Linda suffers from, dementia and Alzheimer's. I will share some of it now.

“: PREFACE TO DISEASES

The body always follows the mind, or the state of awareness flowing through the vessel and utilizing thoughts. The body acts accordingly to what is felt in the subconscious mind. What was either programmed in childhood or caused into existence through other experiences must express itself as a release. Anything that happens “within” must also be displayed “without.” What is accepted (consciously or unconsciously) as true must be true on all levels of the experience. The body always follows the state of awareness and the thoughts and programs that have been applied to each specific vessel. Ultimately, the “cure” for any disease is trust in a higher infinite state of the same self. Trust is required because it is the indication of a free will choice to experience and allows the infinite aspect of themselves to care for them.

: ALZHEIMER’S & DEMENTIA

Alzheimer’s and Dementia have similar side effects, but they are rooted a bit differently. Alzheimer’s is the desire to forget things. To not want to remember, wanting to escape this world. A feeling of a lack of joy is present in both. Alzheimer’s is forgetting certain things, while still staying more centered in the current reality. It just doesn’t have a recollection of what has happened. Sometimes short-term memory is affected, and sometimes long-term memory is affected. Whatever is the path of least resistance for that vessel to display their desire to escape responsibility for something is what is played out. Running away from things subconsciously causes Alzheimer’s.

Dementia is very similar in that the vessel experiences different realities that are equally real, at any given time. It is the consciousness moving away from the body and returning to the source, as it does not see reason or purpose to be in the body. The mind follows suit of the thoughts and creates a way out and essentially causes the vessel to die fairly shortly after diagnosis in most cases. All of this is chosen subconsciously and usually unintentionally, as no one truly wants to die but wants to continue experiencing life through the form.

Both can be alleviated through trust. It is more effective if preventing the state that causes these experiences to be the predominant state. Choosing ahead of time to allow the infinite state through you to experience a life of joy and purpose will cause the experience of these diseases to dissipate. The thoughts of disease and the likelihood of disease, especially with age, have become very common in the human consciousness. If able to see longevity, life, purpose, fervor, and passion for life ahead of time, these will not be created in the vessels any longer."

My sister had a tumultuous relationship with her father. She was constantly as a child not following the rules her dad gave her. Recently, a dear friend received a wonderful message from Linda'a father, W.D. Shanks. He was so sweet and loving. He said he brought Linda to me. He asked for her forgiveness. He said he thought she needed more structure than he gave her love. Now he has seen it was really love that she needed as a child. He gave us such an awesome message and said he loved me too even though we have never met.

As I am lead by Spirit, I will share more of Linda's trauma riddle life.
