My experience of reality.
As you may be aware, I have dedicated my journey to the process of divine surrender (surrendering everything to a higher aspect of reality - God / goddess / spirit / the universe etc). The purpose of this process is to know what is left once everything has been stripped away. I have come to surrender many parts of myself that were simply an illusion. Hopes, fears, desires, likes, dislikes, attachments and self-perceptions have all fallen away, but yet, the“I” still remains.
I was in a flowing meditation, simply allowing the process of surrender to unfold, as the illusion created by my mind throughout my life was crumbling effortlessly before me. This was one of those magical times when meditation becomes an all-encompassing experience that takes over and envelops all of the senses. I will admit that I don’t allow myself to have these as often as I would like. ;)
Deep within this meditation, I saw the “I”, "Luke” or “the self”, whatever this aspect of the illusion is, fall away and I was left with a peaceful expanse of nothingness. However, and I will explain this as best I can, as my perception widened and expanded into this field of absolute nothingness, a crystal clear intuitive perception greeted me within a field of light:
None of this is real. It is all just God’s dream. ***
*** From this point it felt like I had a choice. The choice was to wake up from the illusion of this dream or to come back into my “normal” perception. You may think that this is an easy choice to make (I mean, this is the whole purpose of what I’m doing here haha), but if you think about it for even a split second, then you have chosen to limit yourself back to the perception of the mind and the choice has been made because the mind is a part of the “I”. You cannot hold onto anything from the dream state if you wish to truly wake up and it suddenly felt as though my fear had pulled me back firmly into my “reality”.
This experience, although beautiful in itself, served a purpose of shining a light onto something that I had not yet surrendered. It also showed me that this path, the path of divine surrender, although infinitely difficult at times, is the right path for me.
