The mystical experience is when your reference point shifts from self consciousness to soul consciousness. Self consciousness is perceiving the universe through your individual experience. Soul consciousness is experiencing the universe as the observer and the observed. What you observe is that all that your self had previously thought was just thoughts. Things are not as you had always imagined them to be. As you see colors dropping from a painting, over the frame, onto the wall and floor; you realize everything is interconnected. Nothing is as discrete as seems. What you see is what you are. I am eye. You love every thing as it is not a thing but a temporary manifestation of the universe; a flowing expression of the soul. We are love. We are the soul....

The self loves some things and not others. The soul loves only one thing: the universe. The universe is "all things turned into one". The soul loves all things as they are (whatever they are in the now), as all things are otherwise the universe.   I've often met strangers and declared that I love them no less than I love my children. That's because I love all things. One such stranger responded: "Well, if you love everyone, you love no one." That is the perspective of the self....

The way to heaven is open to everyone, but those who think it is only open to those in their religion but not another. They are going in the opposite direction....

Every thing, a finite "I" to itself. The universe is infinite I's. Letting go the possessive apostrophe, the "I's" are "is"; a flow, not things....

Those who are present don't agonize over what's lost or get emotional about what's next. Unless we are celebrating the present, we are not present....
