All right, Aaron, do you remember when we were first dating and we actually had very different

spiritual slash religious beliefs? Do you remember that? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I was coming from a very

Christian, Midwest background and you were a little more resistant to the conversation of God and who or what that

would be? Yeah. I mean, well, to be honest, I grew up in a very conservative, constricting

religious experience. I won't name names. But honestly, I was extremely resistant to talking about God, spirit, source.

Anytime it was mentioned, it was like, oh, I'm not going there because I had some really painful experiences with my family.

And I remember first meeting Aaron.

And what I really value about him is that while he was really connected to God and his religion, he didn't

push anything on me and I really do thank you for that.

It's interesting that you say that because you say I was like connected to God and yet

as I look back from where I am now, yes, I was open to hear your experience

and I had it like I know who God was, which, let's be honest, if I'm a finite being,

which the whole point of being physical is that I have boundaries, right, I am limited, that's just a fact.

Humans are limited and we seek to create and expand.

Yet I had it like I could understand and I knew something that's infinite even though I was finite.

So I know that's maybe a lot of words, but basically I thought I knew who God was.
