- Many of us have bought into the idea that attaining consciousness is an experience, perhaps a divine one, but an experience anyway; the final step in a long earthly journey.
- But nothing could be farther from the truth.
- TRUTH is, not a noun a place that we get to and stop, but a verb, an experience that is constantly moving.
2. I have known people who have had wild and intense spiritual experiences and I’m here to say they have very little to do with consciousness.
- Often on drugs, people have experiences of oneness, only to wake up the next morning and feel separate and alone.
- You can have a spiritual experience and still live a very unconscious life.
- And that’s because spiritual experiences pass, just like everything else in the universe. Everything is moving and changing all the time.
3. I often tell this to my clients when they have an epiphany.
- I tell them that that’s great, but what are they going to do about it?
- Unless you do something with your realization you might as well be taking drugs, smoking a joint.
- You know, the next morning when you get up you can’t remember those earth shattering realizations.
So remember, - It is not about the experience you had, but about this present moment, what you are experiencing now. That is where true spirituality occurs. We may have had a divine experience of the Truth but have we internalized it – can we live it?
