#072 - God is the whole universe
I used to believe in God. I was a hardcore catholic, a vegetarian, I did daily yoga and meditation. I prayed the rosary three times a day. I was celibate. I was fasting and making sacrifices of personal comforts. I rejected sexuality to better love God. I did this for six years. I wasted the healthy years of my life life trying to be like Jesus. One day when meditating, I felt the presence of God very strongly and my personality crumbled, then I realized this thing I was calling God was nothing less then my own being. The lines between myself and the universe collapsed and there was just THIS. I was so freaked out. It wasn't until 12 years later that I could make any sense of the experience. When Meister Eckart had this experience he was tried and killed by the Franciscan Inquisition.
I believe the "God experience" has nothing to do with an anthropomorphized being apart from reality. i bought into the deception of life in the hereafter, but now i now there is only the eternal now
