I almost thought about leaving this part blank, as the title says
enough. However, a lot of people would probably think that they already
know what it means to have a direct experience of God, but it might not
be in the same way we teach people to have these experiences. What I
mean when I say that one can come into a direct relationship with the
God at the center of your being is, in essence, extremely literal: you
can learn to see and experience God inside of you. An experience that
is real, unwavering, as solid as the ground you walk upon...perhaps
more. Everyone has God inside. Everyone has the capability to know God
in this intimate way. We all need to peel away the layers of hurt,
anger, fear, resentments that encrust this Divine part of us. This
takes patience, love, humility, and the assistance of someone who has
walked the way themselves, otherwise we'll get lost. At the Center of Light, all of our priests are Self-Realized and have allowed themselves to be humble before God enough to find God and be loved into wholeness by God. We offer a direct relationship with a spiritual teacher that can guide you inside, through all of your hurts and blocks, in order to come into your own connection with God. It is an amazing journey and finding God inside is the most satisfying and fulfilling thing there is! I honestly and sincerely say that I would not take back one day on the Path, despite all of the struggle of letting things go that I went through; despite seeing things about myself over the last eight years that have been humbling and painful. Now, teaching people to find their own connection and relationship with God is so beautiful and such a gift to be a part of! |
