    So, may I ask are you universelist in you faith tradition? Also are you more lectio dvina. versus lectio continua or perhaps both? Just curious.

      "Cosmic Consciousness" (Richard Maurice Bucke) (1850) is a text that I stumbled upon after my experience. I find it very helpful in forming the prism for which to view religious texts.

      I would say that I read all religious texts from a macro point of view, skimming and taking care not to be absorbed into any particular laws of god or rituals. I read to find the commonality of what I have seen vs what the texts describe.

      I no longer strive for faith or belief or prayer. I am in a state of knowledge, understanding the love within me is also everywhere and in all forms of life.

      I am quite cautious to attempt to enter into this realm of being once again, for I still have a desire for existing on this plane. One day I will re-invoke it, but I have not decided when or where.

      Interesting, may I ask what do you mean by "stumbled upon after my experience"?
      How do you know that experience to be true?
      What difference has it made in your life?
      What if you're wrong (I am not saying you are just a what if?) I do not know for sure but what you are sharing with me sounds a lot like what is known as New Age, I am not saying it is mind you, but sounds like it at this point.
      New Age thinking has its roots, then, in Eastern mysticism which bypasses the mind. There is a new organ of perception—the third eye—which gives spiritual light. One needs to get to the “psychic self” by training one’s self to ignore the messages from the mind. Really, it is throwing the mind in neutral.
