The Experience of God

Posted in Spiritual Guidance |  Email This Post | by James Rick

How can you experience God when you cannot experience it with your senses? You try to grasp God in the same way you’ve grasped everything else. Logically, Emotionally and through the senses. These are the only inlets you’ve used to decode the energy data of the universe. And so, you employ the same methods when trying to discover spirit. You pray for signs, for messages, you seek to understand in a way that you’ve always understood- through experience. But if the experience never comes, can you say it never exists?

Can something exist even if it is never experienced? Is it possible for something to be real if you cannot experience it in reality? Can something be more real than the experience of the senses? So real that it makes the experience with the senses an illusion and the realness of the thing beyond the senses the only real thing? Can logic grasp something that formed logic? Can words describe the thing that created words?

If God was the experiencer, the mind the experiencing, and all matter the experienced; then you would find god through not using the mind.

How can we not use the mind? In sleep and deep meditation. You calm the mind until you no longer use it.

Is it possible to discover God in any other way? Experiencing the creation of God and recognizing that there is a deeper force behind it. Always maintain the awareness that God is in all things you experience. And make an effort to explore your internal world as often as you explore the outer one.
