It was not until I wrote this book that it fully dawned on me that
perhaps life and God were one and the same. The only difference is the
interpretation or spin we put around God, whether he is some great power,
being, energy, creative force, huge universal power, great soul, or just the God
we all know from our religions and scholared texts.
It seems pretty obvious in some ways that all life is God, dependent on God
and is God. Without this great power nothing could ever come into existence.
However the mind has a very difficult time accepting that life really is just God
and not some product of its own thoughts and actions, instigated by mind,
with God demoted to a casual observer. All the chaos, fretting, regretting and
planning are the whirings of the mind which deceive us into thinking we rule
life, blinding us to the real facts of true life.
This book haphazardly follows a trail through my life, coloured with some of
my experiences along the way. It tries to chart how living life, following
intuition, unwittingly changed to following life knowingly, knowing that there
was a guiding force which I could feel, my own intuition or inner knowing. It
was as this developed I began to be aware of a faint inner voice. As time
passed, so the voice and feelings overtook the judgment of my own mind, until
eventually an idea was hatched, to try a great experiment. This experiment was
to live from intuition alone, by placing mind in the back seat of life, where it
has reluctantly remained ever since.
By looking back on past experiences I have drawn all I know together to try to
reason and solve the puzzle of life, by learning to distinguish Life and God,
Mind and Heart, inner promptings from outer chatter, foolish whim from
inner guidance. Throughout this time, my experiences have been ever changing
and progressing. There has never been a solid piece of ground from which to
look back and truly know. All that I have come to know is to constantly apply
‘reason’ to all that I have felt and heard, to try and make sense of the path once
mind is left behind. The process has been on going and I have been constantly
learning. Even though I think I have come a long way, there is nothing about
living with God that I can say or teach with any great certainty. It is a vague,
fluid concept, hard to pin down, like following a path in total darkness. You
can only feel the edge of the path, where you are, to act as guidance, but as
hard as you try to think, you cannot be certain about the direction ahead. You
can plan and speculate and extrapolate the old path in your mind to project
what you think is the future path, but you can never be sure. It all comes down
to feeling tempered by constant reasoning. I have met many spiritually
advanced people along the way and even those with heightened perception still
suffer the same folly of not quite knowing, although they know a lot they still
don’t know it all.
