About Life About God.
It was not until I wrote this series of books that it fully dawned on me that perhaps life and God & Spiritual Love 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.
