• by Norman Paulsen • We have all asked ourselves where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going when we leave. Are there any real answers to these questions? We can read, we can hear, and we can try to believe. But we are the ones, right now at this moment, who are faced with ourselves and what we are doing with our lives up to the time when we are most assuredly going to leave.
We want to believe that God is alive, that God hears our prayers, that God is somehow going to attend to us when we take our last breath here. But what is really going to happen on that moment when we leave here to face the great beyond, of which we know so little?
We spend our lives pursuing self-conscious desires, growing up, raising our families. But is it possible to see and meet and know, personally, this Divine Being, this intelligence who has fashioned the world that we are riding upon, this very body that we sit in? Is it possible to see and know God?
Records state that some men and women have seen and known God. But for each one of us, records and statements are not enough to convince us or give us the experience. We need to have it happen for us personally. I believe in a meditation tool that will give each individual the ability, according to their own will and desire, to go within and meet the Divine face to face. Yes, a simple meditation tool, if practiced faithfully, with love you can grow to feel for God—whatever your own image of God is—will lead you to the Divine. What a wonderful thing! This has been my experience, and this is the experience for each one who cares to pursue it.
This is not a new religion. This is never going to be an “ism” of any sort. It is going to be people who know within themselves, who are guided within themselves, each one guided by that same light, that same divine intelligence, that same wisdom. We, as a human race, now stand upon the threshold of a quantum leap into a dimension of consciousness we have only dreamed of, a state of consciousness wherein we begin to experience God, I Am That I Am, existing everywhere.
God is love. God is that love that each one of us feels for another, for many. We all have attributes of the Divine. We now need this consciousness, this vision that enables us to see into the interior of all created images, to see God in everything. God is life! God fills the molecules of air that separate our bodies, one from another…the space between the atoms is filled with God.
You have the equipment atomically, molecularly, cellularly, right in your own body now at this very moment to totally experience Cosmic consciousness, divine illumination, oneness with God. You don’t have to go anywhere, it is all right within you, the whole creation is right within you. How can you see it? Meditate on it.
