between my awareness and the realm around me went so far at times that
I became the entire universe. Another way of putting this would be to say
that I momentarily saw an identity with the universe, which had been
there all the time, but that I had just been blind to up till then.
An analogy I often use to demonstrate my consciousness at that
deepest level is that of a hen’s egg. While in the Core, even when I
became one with the Orb of light and the entire higher-dimensional
universe throughout all eternity, and was intimately one with God, I
sensed strongly that the creative, primordial (prime mover) aspect of God
was the shell around the egg’s contents, intimately associated throughout
(as our consciousness is a direct extension of the Divine), yet forever
beyond the capability of absolute identification with the consciousness of
the created. Even as my consciousness became identical with all and
eternity, I sensed that I could not become entirely one with the creative,
originating driver of all that is. At the heart of the most infinite oneness,
there was still that duality. It is possible that such apparent duality is
simply the result of trying to bring such awareness back into this realm.
I never heard Om’s voice directly, nor saw Om’s face. It was as if Om
spoke to me through thoughts that were like wave-walls rolling through
me, rocking everything around me and showing that there is a deeper
fabric of existence—a fabric that all of us are always part of, but which
we’re generally not conscious of.
So I was communicating directly with God? Absolutely. Expressed
that way, it sounds grandiose. But when it was happening, it didn’t feel
that way. Instead, I felt like I was doing what every soul is able to do
when they leave their bodies, and what we can all do right now through
various methods of prayer or deep meditation. Communicating with God
is the most extraordinary experience imaginable, yet at the same time it’s
the most natural one of all, because God is present in us at all times.
Omniscient, omnipotent, personal—and loving us without conditions. We
are connected as One through our divine link with God.
