I asked Lady of the Light if I could post her email about her own spiritual experience, in response to a comment on GAoG. She allows me.
“Lose the discrimination between the Real and the unreal, between the small ‘s’ self and the Big ‘S’ Self, and we lose the only purpose of life: To help us distinguish between the two so that we can realize God.” (1)
Good Morning Steve
I was very intrigued by this statement you wrote because before my ‘God Self’ could have a ‘meeting-with-God’ moment I was clearly immersed in an identity crisis.
In the beginning of my enlightening experience I was able to discriminate that I didn’t know who I was.
My ego small self was exposed, busted.
I knew the actor I was presenting myself as [constructed self] was an imposter posing to be me.
So the key to discovering who my True Self is was absolutely my ability to discriminate.
Once I was able to discriminate I was presenting a false persona to the world, the next obvious question became,
“Who Am I Really if not this?”
It became my quest to discover “Who Am I?”
And as my desire to discover the Truth of who I Am built up within me, and I was able to muster up all my inner strength and resolve to command an answer, within a very few moments of meditation my GodSelf revealed to me in all my glory who I Really am.
So I have to agree with you, Steve, my ability to discriminate is what spurred me towards my enlightenment moment.
Perhaps this is the missing key to why I haven’t been able to inspire others through simply sharing my experience of enlightenment to want to ask themselves “Who Am I” and experience their own GodSelf.
Perhaps they haven’t yet come to discriminate that their false self is not their Real Self. (2)
Thank you for answering this question for me. I always wondered why no one I shared this with cared to do what I did and just ask “Who Am I”? and, simply put, fulfill the purpose of their life.
Lovelight to you my friend.
