Very practically and tangibly speaking...as real as holding a glass of water...feeling it and looking at it...
We have a way inside to view the Divine Light within inside...as Jesus tried to clue us in on and many thereafter mostly from the East.
In Luke in the KJV -
''If thine eye be single thy whole body will be full of light".
We can see into the Spiritual 'realms' within us.
It isn't taught in the West so it may be a tough one to open up to.
But when it says -
Be still and know that I am God.
That is another clue - among many - the thing is -
this is a stillness almost hard to imagine.
It isn't sitting in silence in the woods for 15 minutes once.
It is a stillness that is much deeper - almost with the breath unnoticed.
(Sorry, I remind people so much, but there are always new people ...I have meditated now, 47 yrs - many times 3-6 hours a sitting -
things 'happen' then...hahahaha)
Those that have meditated each day for a decade for an hour a day ...may not have even seen or opened to certain experiences so have said,
"I've tried, I give up."
Some will say, "There is no God listening. He does not answer prayers. I've tried."...and so on.
Yet, in a second - someone could suddenly experience vast Divine Insights, supernatural awareness
being graced with Cosmic Consciousness, so might say here, "No, you don't have to sit for many hrs to have these amazing experiences" -
(exps similar sometimes to what NDErs exp...seeing into the Other Side...oh, let's not forget the OBErs here!)
One could, also, exp the spiritual realms after one hour or 10 min ...each person/soul is different.
I'm not here to say you can not - just that most 'reg ol' people' may have to practice learning to reach
a
profound stillness internally in their mind and body.
I'm saying this as a person that knows and has exp'd this Divine Light inside...and much more, (that many might want to say is impossible).
AND ya don't have to believe a word of it!
