Where Nothing seems to Be
act and tell others. These fleeting insights open our eyes - for whatever brief time - that existence as a whole is far broader, far wider, and has far greater dignity than all our materially, egoistically motivated dealings taken together.
This Grandeur, this all-encompassing, profound, sublime Majesty deep within us is what I experienced in supreme intensity, - and it remained awake within me ever since.
This insight gave me everything I ever longed for.
It showed me the incredible vastness of knowledge, of intuition, of comprehension, of sovereignty dormant within myself - dormant within every living being.
It lifted all fear, - and made me aware that any fear is only caused by an exclusive focus on our material form.
It showed me what this life is really all about, - what I am meant to do with it, - and what it will give me in return.
And it is infinitely beautiful.
What did I perceive ? Now, - religiously oriented people might eagerly suggest that I experienced God. - But I emphatically disagree with this opinion. I am certain that any idea of 'God' is externalizing, is projecting qualities and abilities we carry deep within to an outside agency that's separate from us. Why disconnect ourselves from these, our inborn powers that hover just at the edge of our present awareness?
As long as we transfer this grand, sublime part of us to an external entity, we simply restrict our abilities to directly experience its full strength and make it our own.
