I know it is saying a lot, and I do not mean to be boastful, but on the other hand, unless my profile as a practicing Christian is specifically shared here, it may remain hidden, to the loss of some. So, here it is, aimed strictly at the committed seekers of Truth, that it may lend insights into the trek they want to be on. I am perhaps among the most spiritually accomplished individuals on Earth today, who personally experienced while awake a spacial discontinuity whilst having been spirited to another dimension to my own graduation ceremony, and there told, among other things, that I had fulfilled my mission, that I loved and I loved and I loved, that I never exchanged love for hate, that I lived my life the way Jesus had lived his life, that his was a three year mission and mine was a nine year mission, that his mission was public and mine was private, and his required him to die at the end, but mine did not. Four and a half years earlier I had been willing -- but not eager -- to die a brutal death at the hand of my then wife, having concluded during the long succession of well-used learning opportunities that, among other things, I am love, that I am not more than love but also not less, that love I am and love I demand of myself to be, that she (and nobody) can impede me from being love, that I do not need to defend myself because Love already does that . With my willingness to consider this outcome, it became evident, in a complete reversal of the normal view, that death for love is truly the only death worth dying, that it is incomparably better than the alternatives, which fall in three categories: death by accident, illness, or old age (SH`s to update this third one after recalling it better). That graduation, which took place in 1997, was, by some measure, the third of at least five major spiritual accomplishments to date, the first three of which I aced, the fourth of which took me 16 years at which to succeed, which may reflect my relative ill preparedness to master that exquisite challenge, and each feat of a kind that, were any one to have been the single experience of almost anyone else, would already have made worth it that person`s entire human lifetime just to achieve it. And anyone who might argue that these shouldn`t even be goals to be aspired to, clearly does not yet even know where North is. I am subscribing to this community because though it is not my time to be in any limelight, I may have some valuable insights about the journey to which most here have subscribed, that those ready to receive it may appreciate them being made available. Since giver and receiver are always blessed, I would look forward to contributing what I might to help travelers assess the landscape they are facing, and how they might best interpret it, how they might deconstruct and reconstruct perceptions in ways that become more useful -- and less harmful -- to themselves and others. Sharing such treasures is a joy to me. ©
