Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Logical thinkers look continuously to require extra. So might I propose you start to seek for varieties on your very own questioning, not as lots the variety you felt or sympathized with somebody else's journey. seek for consistencies with the trend of God's techniques. because of the fact he's author and you're His involved creation, you will see issues that are wonderous. issues in nature and technological understanding, as an occasion. seek for varieties and order for stability of concept. Write those discoveries so as which you may properly be refreshed in encouragement because of the fact they don't come at wide-unfold periods yet as you're arranged and as God wills. examine the Psalms for concentration. examine them repeatedly lower back.

I discovered the spiritual part of me which is the pure non-programmed, non-mediated aspect of self that is positive, pure, open presence, yearning to embody our larger, true nature in this world. The spirtual self resonates in harmony with the Universe. The more intune you become with the soul self - the spiritual experiences are part of your everyday experiences.

I just understood one day, and I got chills and butterflies, when I realized what all this is about.
