Ah,
want...
This is where I am coming from:
I have been the Sugar - I have experienced the Bliss that is ''God'' a dozen times to the point of
being Brahma in timeless eternal ecstasy from head to toe.
I have known my body to be an enormous floating bunch of atoms in the Universe, but with all the Universe inside of
it...being the Universe.
Yes, I know I am part of the Godhead
and being God, at the same time have experienced what God experiences and feels - I experienced the Paradox of
incredible, burning Agony, the flip side being Ecstasy and wow.
And much more.
Funny, how these moments don't last...
for me.
I don't question that.
I accept it. Yogananda and others were not in Bliss, Ecstatic Union 24/7, nor St Francis or St. Teresa...
They weren't ---it was given and then taken away; these Moments of Divine Insight and Wisdom....I've had many like the Mystics we read about.
(Note: I don't know about
all of the great yogis and masters and their daily experiences.)
BUT...what
does last (for me) is worship and tasting the love.
Feeling the Divine Presence ----instead of
being the Divine One in glimpses.
Feeling and being bathed in the love of my Father - or Creator or the Holy Spirit - whatever It is called by people... The Sacred Spirit of the Divine.
I worship
This.
If one day I evolve to the point of total and complete Awareness of Reality - that I
am the Lord 24/7---so be it.
I am evolving upward like a spiral - and where I am at right now is
tasting and sunbathing - not being the Sugar or the Sun.
And it is working for me right now. When I pop into having another experience that I am God Himself, by His Grace - fine - right now I am having fun co-creating and manifesting things just by my connection to the Divine.
That may not resonate with anyone reading this...insisting they
are God or wanting to
be the '
Sugar'.
But luckily - I don't mind. I'm with Ramakrishna on this.
