Re: Re: ABA

Thank you. I think a synopsis will be fine; just so I can get the idea for now! :)

Re: ABA

Thank you Presta, I will delve on the other two paths as you desire. I'll try to shorten them as they are quite expansive, so a synopsis should be right, but if you want them detatiled, you re most welcome.

Such a soothing post, I find this to be. You mentioned more than two paths, what are the other ones, when you have time, please. If I understand correctly, either intellectual pursuit or physical labor, or both, when pursured selflessly expand our inner selves to not focus on the "I"  as we are guided along toward a higher spiritual level and power and toward ultimate knowledge and peace. Lovely explanation, dear Aba.

Re: Sam

Thanks Shelley, exactly it is as you say. I am reminded of reading somewhere of a dimwit replying, if God reveals loves samthe world, where's the revolver?

Re: C C T

I'm so sorry to learn of that, but now it is past. Be well, and as for such experiences, you've been lucky, I must say. Miraculously the misery going away and being brought to peace. Thanks a ton, sir.

I think when people engage in selfless works or acts they tend to find out who they are and subsequently grow closer to God through it! Afterall, I believe He is the one directing while the other moves their feet! Shelly

Sometimes I tell myself 'It is what it is!' I am a dreamer, a weaver of stories, mostly simple and directed towards harmony and peace. I accept that I am no great intellectual, nor of a gymnastic ilk. I find for me that by keeping true to my faith in my God, I am free and at peace and filled with love.

Well A. Once I had a period when everything went bizarrely wrong it was far worse than normal depression, it was too many wretched problems to assimilate. I really felt sick with it. Not suicidal thank goodness that is a more gentle acceptance of oblivion.

No this was more acute I suppose some would call it a religious experience, but I do not think it could be classed as such. I just let my mind go into whatever Hell was waiting.

 Surprisingly I suddenly found peace, everything was so alive it was as though I was a part of Nature. It lasted for a few months If I remember and slowly things returned to normal not the misery that I had felt before. I know this is way off your remarkable

  account of occurrences, it is just a layman's experience of the diverse possibilities of the average mind. So your precise details make good sense to me.
