Well, Lynda was conscious of her luck, but she felt in spite of all of the difficulty to get used to as much happiness.
"All was so marvelous that it was hard to believe it. All went too much well and I was haunted by the fear that something Lynda
worried so of her future and she missed to such a point of confidence in herself that she had resort to the astrology, to the metaphysics, in the Ouija, to the cartomancy, to tarot cards and to several different religions in order to discover what the future reserved to her. "I consulted some seers; I knew the people who only trusted the predictions of the seers to decide the orientation that they had to give to their life and I wanted to imitate them in the goal to help me to surmount my fears", explains the actress.
"Today, I can tell you that the occult sciences can present big dangers. The people who are implied in the occult sciences tempt to make believe you that everything that they tell you is true and one ends up depending completely on their opinion. In my opinion, it is even more destructive than the drug. Before I believed in the psychic phenomena and all sorts of things of this kind, but it never procured me a real happiness. Of course, it was exciting because different from everything that I had lived before and because it was mysterious, but it never procured me a happiness, a satisfaction or even of intense joy. I tried to acquire a certain stability and I never found it in this kind of discipline. In fact, it is the Christian faith that finally opened me the eyes. It is while sheltering me in this religion that was the one of my childhood that I could finally find the stability which I had need so much.
Lynda confesses that she had a lot of luck to meet a man as understanding as Ron Samuels. He knew how to appear patient with her and he didn't blame him whatever it is in spite of the fact that he only felt the contempt for all occult sciences. Knowing the departure her husband's opinion on this topic, Lynda avoided to tell him her numerous consultations supposedly with these specialist of the future. But today, Lynda knows pertinently that she could have lost the man that she liked if she had persisted in this way. It came a time where the situation became quasi-intolerable for this man who was conscious of the whole pain that her wife got used to herself while confiding her life thus to those ones that only tried to exploit her.
Fortunately, Lynda realized that she had entered into the bad way and she didn't linger to remedy the situation. She affirms that it is during a meeting with her sister, who lives in Arizona, that she achieved that only the Christian religion could save her of the depressive state in which she was in spite of all her successes. Lynda has been educated in the Christian religion and it was only at the age of 20 years that she had stopped practicing this religion. It is while chatting with her sister that she realized that she had lived a very happy adolescence in spite of the fact that she must face obstacles of all sorts. She was able then to fight against everything that carried hindrance to her happiness and when she reached the goals that she had set, she didn't stay late to look for the pet hate as she now made it; she was happy and she continued to have confidence in the future. She took the decision therefore to consult a representative of the Christian religion and, after having debated for a long time with her husband, she returned to the ranks of this religion.
Lynda affirms to what she wants to hear is the Christian faith that not only saved her marriage with Ron Samuels, but that this religion is as responsible because it is now capable to benefit every moment of happiness without fearing that all doesn't collapse around her. For Lynda Carter, the faith, it is the confidence in itself and in the future. Since the day where she returned to the church, Lynda found this interior peace that was more important to her happiness that all successes that he had brought her career during all these years where she looked in vain for a supernatural power susceptible to come him in help in the difficult moments.
While recovering this lower peace, Lynda understood how much her husband's support had been precious to her during these years where it was in search of her own identity. She is now a lot more conscious of the importance to have a man as Ron to her side and she is henceforth ready to all to protect her marriage of all threats that comes from the outside bus to the bottom of herself she is now persuaded that Ron is the only man who can make her happy.
