" This" (life) is only the tip of the iceberg. The only place where meaning exists. Under "This" it's - Let it Fly without any meaning what-so-ever. What comes to the surface each can deal with it in their own way by giving it meaning, ect. -

A wise old sage once said: Why wait till death is upon you to realize what you truly are? -

Keep it simple. Drop the word "wants" to make it "God creates itself to Love itself in any way possible". That's the message. Everything is born from love. -

I can't explain it other than to say there is an intelligence behind everything. Everything is that intelligence. -

Conceptual knowledge is NOTHING compared to Direct experience. But you need conceptual knowledge first as a pointer to get to direct experience. For instance, looking at MapQuest. You can know the route well from what's shown on the screen. But to actually travel the road is a totally different experience. -

I can't even fully explain what happened except to say I was literally sucked out of my body. I felt it coming on and it spooked me. Like my awareness was expanding outside of my usual body location. So, I backed off because I felt like I was leaving my body. Then I said to myself "something is presenting itself here. Trust it and go with it". And I did. Then I wasn't in my body anymore. What did I experience? Consciousness/awareness became focused like a laser and was full of infinite potential and infinite intelligence. I can't even say how long it lasted. Whether it was minuets or seconds. But it was infinite. Time didn't exist. I didn't exist. But yet I was somehow along for the ride. After that experience I was totally blown away. I was like "holy $hit I never realized that was possible". My everyday experience paled in comparison to that that level of awareness. I felt like I had one foot in each world. I also experienced a bit of dark night of the soul, as it's called. I was doing daily meditation for about a year twice a day. I had smoked a little pot right before. And I was watching that video probably for the 10th time trying to have a direct experience of no-self. And boy did I. Actual surrender of the identification to the ego played the huge part. That's what bought on the experience in the first place.
