Is there a way to 'reconnect'?

Ah, but that's the trap now isn't it?

ALL religions and so called spiritual teachings might hold one or two spiritual truths of half truths hidden within their dogma, but those rare few "signposts" are only there to fool the masses into believing in all the rest of it's lies. In which people are trapped into blindly believing because of each religions or "spiritual teachings" false claim of exclusiveness. That ONLY THEIR teachings come from "god" and all other teachings are not to be believed, false. Thus people are stuck believing in the lies, and cling to them no matter what.

The universe, I suppose? Just something higher. I saw a lot, I experienced a lot, I felt more whole. That was taken advantage of.

Something has been missing in me since then. There's a large void where I feel that spirituality should be. Whenever I try to reclaim that feeling, though, it's like... it's empty. I try to recreate some positive triggers, and nothing. I have a few moments of connectedness now, but they only occur in dreams or super occasionally in 'real life'.

Is there anything I can do? Is this connection gone forever? I always used to pride myself on it, and draw a lot of my strength from it. I'm learning to make my way in the world without it, but I still don't think I'll ever feel quite the same with that method.

Thank you. <3

To reconnect to that something, you need to realise the nature of Maya; the corrupt physical reality (Illusion), and so you need to be reborn, not of another physical birth, but a spiritual one. Jesus Christ tells Nicodemus to be born again, he needs to be born of Water and of the Spirit in order to access that "Something".

Therefore, after the model of the great teacher Jesus Christ, we need to resurrect from the deadness of this disconnectedness. That which connects us with that something is the Holy Spirit whom you receive when you are reborn. That is what you need, that special connection, that that Something no longer becomes something but everything, and never to be lost again.

As in all the pseudo "spiritual" references in the bible, it's all grand talk with no substance.

For NOWHERE in the bible does it really explain HOW to do this, or even more important, how to verify one really has a "connection". Most people have some insane idea that just dunking your head under water automatically does this for you. But of course it doesn't, but that doesn't stop them from blindly believing in such a silly ritual.

I noticed that you take an anti-christian stance in some of your posts. Do you expect by this that you could provide useful & reliable information concerning this particular religion?

You replied to my statements of:

So I don't understand your question that I should " provide useful & reliable information concerning this particular religion?".

Yeah you can always meditate, to release all habbitually practiced energetic thought patterns of resistance that feels like negative emotion, and then in that moment, as there are no thoughts, thus also no thoughts of resistance. And thus your greater allowed realisation can be realised by you as that which you feel like re-connecting, re-awakening, or receiving your own greater non-physical consciousness that is your true joyous nature of being, an unconditionally worthy, loved, supported, guided and inseperable extension of your own true original source of being, that is the ever expanding source of all being and becoming evermore here and now.

And it's simply to focus consistently on any thing physical or non-physical, that doesn't encourage thought(like a meaningless sound such as a mantra or your own breathing or whatever you wish that doesn't encourage thought), which then causes your mind to quiet down. Which then causes your resistant thoughts to dissapate, and thus you have more acces to pure positive thought of least resistance of greatest/greater knowing, of your own greater non-physical consciousness, and your greater allowed realisation is then allowed by you to be realised/received/known/flown more fully, effortlessly, naturally and joyously by you, through you, as you, with you, for you, as you come to know all that you and all truely are being and becoming evermore effortlessly and naturally and joyously here and now. In full harmony and alignment with the ever expanding Source of Being and becoming evermore naturally and effortlessly and joyously here and now.
