In this blog post I would like to share a personal experience, one that led me to a realisation that defied conventional thought.
It happened about 15 years ago when I was simply relaxing on my sofa. An unusual thought surfaced in my mind, a thought not entirely my own. It came as a complete surprise. This thought told me that I was part of God, often referred to as 'The Source' or 'Universal Consciousness'. The idea of my connection to a higher power was unlike my usual thought patterns, yet my intuition assured me of its undeniable truth. This experience set me on a journey to explore this new perspective on my existence. Here are some aspects I found worth exploring:
1 Understanding Intuition: Intuition, often referred to as a "gut feeling" or a deep inner knowing, can serve as a wellspring of wisdom that transcends conventional reasoning. It can lead us to insights and revelations that defy logical explanation. In my case, this intuition guided me toward the realization that I am a piece of a greater whole, a thread woven into the intricate fabric of the universe.
2 Transcending the Ego: The revelation I experienced spoke to a sense of unity with the Universal Consciousness, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all life. It hinted at a temporary dissolution of the ego, the often dominating sense of a separate self, and pointed toward a profound connection with something much larger.
3 Openness and Personal Meaning: It's worth noting that moments like these often occur when we are relaxed or in meditation and open to the subtleties of our own consciousness. Such experiences can be deeply personal and their interpretation is highly individual. In my case, my intuition assured me of the validity of this revelation.
This experience served as a stepping stone to finding out about my purpose, the nature of the universe and how we can connect to a higher consciousness or The Source.
My hope is that this blog post will encourage others to embrace the journey of exploring human consciousness, if they haven't already. Additionally, that personal insights can lead to a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe.
