See post #5 You should try reading some of William Blake's stuff.
I read the Bible on a regular basis and it only confirms my point of view.

That I did see a world in a grain of sand, and much more, that all around me was
breathing, living life with a Presence everywhere and in everything... when
the Doors of Perception* were opened.

I could have said a simpler, more relatable answer like I saw that God IS love and adores me...that
I CAN ask and it is given....that to rely on my Creator Father IS the thing that brings peace.
I could say so much more...because I know the secret to a happy life now.

(And it has nothing with pushing my agenda on anyone, everyone is where
they are supposed to be...all is perfect...you see that, also!)


* coined first by Aldous Huxley, right?

No - you did not come from Him. You were not sent by Him. That applies to Christ alone. People are called. No one except Jesus came from God.

Those who fail to get understanding think like the world and cannot know the presence of God.
