I thought you might like to read this post I wrote for another now abandoned blog provider in 2015. Now it still seems to me to be a concise summary of my mystical experiences of Reality (MER) as expressed in various contexts throughout this blog and my life ever since:
The spiritual life is a calling. You cannot decide you will have a spiritual life because you think it’s probably a good idea, because you want to be a better human being, or because you’re curious.
Though certainly you will become a better human being – automatically, axiomatically, if you have in fact through no fault or goodness or even qualifications as yet unknown to mankind, become a Seeker.
Not to worry, if you’ve not got to that stage. There are no failures, no one is left behind. You are as precious as the first even though you may think you are the last. In fact there are no first or lasts. All is well, and in good order.
The true Seeker however will eventually know that what he or she thought they sought, seeks them.
The whole idea was put in your mind. It was not your idea. If you are a Seeker, you are ready whether you know it or like it or not. You are accepted, much loved, much nurtured, and protected on levels of understanding no man or woman can transfer to you, but which will be revealed to you personally. You are being readied. All is well; then, now and for ever.
Note: There are citations for all these assertions. You’re very welcome to present them. But I thought you would prefer to hear my personal experience at this early stage, not just acquired, secondhand, regurgitated references anyone can access.
Very nice. It is a long path and like Pascal one must make one’s wager. A
