reply to post by St Udio
i understand the the first parts of identiifying self & recognizing others... but whats with the '...big charade being played out' ??
Hey St. Udio. This one here is virtually impossible to explain. Has to be experienced to be comprehended. Dont know much else to say, except that God
is Love and Omnipresent. When you Love God with your whole being, you begin to feel the Love reciprocate. Then eventually you melt into this Love, the
Love you have for God and God has for you becomes one Love, and since God is Omnipresent, you melt into All in Love. Makes sense???

In response to Merrimen Weir:
Is this one of those 'my god is bigger than your god' things? Because it sure sounds like it. Also, it's a little arrogant to think I don't
'experience daily awesome' too. Or is your 'awesome' just that little better than mine because yours is Christian? Again, none of this sounds
like someone who has undergone "ego death" to me.
So according to your assumptions or preconceived notions or maybe even your own experience, someone who has undergone "Ego Death" sounds like
what?????
Cause to be honest with you, someone who has it would never attack Christianity, (they'd see the truth in it) nor say most the things you said.
Honestly, someone with Ego death wouldnt say anything at all, would just Love everyone unconditionally.
But, in order to make statements about "things" an ego dead person, has to pick back up 1 piece of these million pieces of shattered ego ....to put
on a mask and make a statement in defense of something. I am defending Ego death, saying it's real ....if no one ever said it, no one would ever know
about it, that its real, that if you truly walk the walk as far as what jesus taught, you will have it.
So it feels to me that your attacking me and my profession of ego death, simply by the virtue that I am professing this and defending it as the
highest possible reality on this planet.
Am I anymore special than anyone else .......HECK NO .... I never ever said that and never will so you can automatically set aside all your "labels"
that you have of me .....because in reality my true label is infinite and eternal and is impossible to put a label on, as is yours when you realize it
one day
Besides, I'd get on my hands and knees, wash your feet, give you the last shirt I own off my back, last dollar in my wallet, take a bullet for you, a
run away car w/ a drunk drive driving, your pain, your jail time ....whatever it is I would take it from you ....only possible because of Ego death, I
take up my cross and follow the footsteps of my savior. I Love you even though you label me with assumed labels that I know Im not and everyone who
knows me personally knows Im not.
Before being a Christian Mystic tho, I woulda not even looked if you were about to get hit by a car, shot, stabbed whatever. Back then that was your
problem not mine.
But Now, I wish to take everybodies pain and suffering and take it on myself in order to put you at ease. This is a faculty that comes w/
Enlightenment.
There is only those that have enlightenment and those that do not. Both are united in God and God loves both groups unconditionally. Oh and those that
dont have Enlightenment dont understand those that do, Jesus said that it would all be "foolishness to their ears"
Do you have Enlightenment???? Well I cant call that, but I will say if you were deep into Spiritual Enlightenment, you would have never labeled me as
"smugg" or "contrite" or any of those other labels you so frequently used.
Instead we'd be on the same wavelength, Pure Love, and you'd know yourself that theres truth in the Jesus path.
