Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

ordinary human consciousness once again, but this
time transformed and full of life.
This journey of love is so amazing; the experiences
are so amazing and dramatic. One feels like a river of
love flows through their sense of presence. Others feel
constant blissful energies flowing upwards from the
heart, gut or sexual organs, through the heart and into
the world and to the other.
For long periods one may feel bliss which becomes
ecstasy. All kinds of states and experiences arise and
pass away as our awareness expands in new
dimensions.
But the most astounding thing we experience is the
descent of grace and humility. We feel like we are
touched by God’s sacred breath itself, often in the
presence of the other, he or she who exists before us
as our beloved: lover, friend, companion, guru, or
chela.
Grace permeates everything. We fall to our knees
in utter awe of the grace and acceptance we feel. We
are humbled, laid low, in a new kind of ecstatic
embrace by the Infinite. We are then complete,
finished in this divine embrace that has arisen from
and by one’s love for another human, lover, guru,
chela, child, or animal.
