Dear Ones, hello. Lovely posts from both of you which, sadly, I don't have time to read! I am still working on that paper .... It is hard to talk/write about any topic when you don't have knoweldge/experience to draw from and, unfortunately, this case study didn't go into the necessary depth. Enough about that.
I liked hearing from you both. Happy I am acquainted with the book and writing on "Spiritual Materialism," but in my experience -- when I've really endeavored to go within -- to (it's hard to put into words), to get ego out of the way and offer my life in service -- that is when I've been most blessed with those experiences that defy description. Hmmmm.
Re. "hellish experiences and emotions" accompanying ut into eternity, this was a troubling thought I had as a teenager when, unwilling to incur karma by taking my life, I slipped into an outwardly catatonic moment of shuuting down (which was accompanied by great searching and unhappy "whys?" on the inside). So much goobly gook here, probably of no interest to anyone buy myself, but that was when I experienced my first major breakthrough. I will ever say, to the degree one reaches and gives up, they will be inflooded and filled. To the degree of one's belief.
Also like the imagry of being "light workers." There was an old book (Max Freedom Parish? Or am I mixing mediums here) titled, "The Ways of the Lonely Ones" that spoke in terms of our serving as ... well ... carrying lamps that helped light the way for others.
Who knows. This isn't a good time for me to writing, I've got too much going through my head -- just wanted to thank you, both, for writing. I'll print out your posts to ponder when I have a little more time for coherent response.
In His Name,
Temmie
