Preparation Question: In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world?

[Yai]

by making spiritual progress and trying to understand and cooperate with the Creator’s plan.

By considering a shift in perspective concerning my environment and how I had been influenced to see the world in particular ways in the past, I feel I’ve gained some more stable ground in objectivity. Acknowledging the limited nature of my sense-perception and accepting that I had taken many things for granted (things like the power of egoism clouding my discernment) or had taken with certainty things that were never certain, I feel some gains in honesty and a bit more willingness to possibly talk about it.

Through experience and desire to attain a spiritual path.

Through experience, I have redefined my desires, going through stages of valuing material gain and achievements to wanting a more spiritually driven existence.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always felt there was ‘something else out there.’ Something I couldn’t see. No religion helped me understand it…I tried many. This is starting to help me make sense of those feelings.

I am beginning to realise that everything that happens is interpreted through my perceptions and that I’m the one who ascribes labels of good or bad to situations, according to the way I perceive them to affect me, specifically my egoistic self-concern for pleasure, however defined. So my ability to “see” the true intent of events to transform my character is seriously constrained until I develop some new sensory tools that are grounded in another spiritual domain from which the intent to transform my soul originates. Since this world is presently hidden from my material sensors I can’t attain a complete understanding of the intent until I somehow begin to attune my “radar” to detect it. At times this feels like such an alien task but I can look back through my life and see times when this has actually happened, albeit briefly and elusively. Moments when I felt a “kiss from God” that connected  a sense that I was to provide something another person needed, without any communication that their need existed, until I asked whether they needed a particular thing I felt I was being “told” to give them. Turned out each time that it was something they had been crying out to God to provide. So lots of tears and hugs and a sense of real connection between both of us humans … with each other and both being hugged by God. This course has reminded me of these times and given me a wonderful “non-religious” understanding of what was happening … and what is intended to become a more common/regular state of being. I must say that would be amazing, since I’ve never experienced anything so profound, fulfilling or satisfying. Funny how I had “forgotten” these times and slipped back to seeing things through my replayed fearful filters and lost my joy and peace. Nice to be back on the path. Thank you!
