(Continued from Part 1, above.) Mutual pervasiveness was how the merging felt to me. I lost the distinction between the two of us. We dissolved separation. In Werner Erhard’s terms, I crossed the line between unconscious and conscious awareness. I was in a transformed space with another. And me and that other became One. However […]
In the Midst of it
In the midst of writing the appeal, I broke through to a space of mastery, as in self-command. Originally this article formed part of the appeal, but it made so little sense in context that I repost it here as a separate article. Like so many spiritual experiences, it features an abrupt discontinuity in experience, […]
What Would a Master Do?
I said earlier that, when I faced into the task of writing an appeal – which my vasanas railed against until I broke through – I was drawn to envision Michaelangelo sculpting and heard the word “Maestro.” It was as if that was the signal to begin something. It was as if that were the […]
The Peace that Passeth Understanding
This is another example of how the knowledge of events that happen to us unfolds over time. I had an experience of the peace – deep peace – of the Natural Self. And I just realized that it was of the same class that Paul was pointing at when he referred to “the peace that […]
There is a Place Called “Normal”
There’s a place called “Normal.” It’s also called “Original Innocence” and “the Natural Self.” In this place, the experience of love is normal. The experience of fear is not. In it, the experience of safety is normal. The experience of dread is not. In it, the desire to share is normal. The desire to hoard […]
Love Respects Our Free Will
Just as the celestials and galactics will not violate our freewill, so love respects our mind’s free will. I could have said the heart respects the mind’s free will. But it really is love itself. If the mind chooses to erect walls of belief that prevent love from being recognized and known, love respects its […]
A World That Works? How? Through Love
Archangel Michael said on An Hour with an Angel: “Destructive adults, they need the help. “And that is where your global work comes into play of holding peace, of holding the vision of a world that works for everyone. Of holding a vision where there is not a separation between human beings – that some […]
Sending Love Out to the World
I’m sitting in a store waiting for a friend to make some purchases and swimming in love and bliss. With the mind chatter gone, I feel malleable, fluid. There’s no resistance any more to my moods and feelings, which freely rise and fall. I need to manage myself however. If I try to own this […]
An Experience of the Breath of Michael
Kathleen talks about the “blue breath of Michael.” I asked her if I could share an actual experience with you concerning the power of Archangel Michael’s breath. Some of you may have heard the story before and I apologize for repeating it. It concerns one of the two times I came face-to-face with Archangel Michael. […]
Reunited with the Long-Lost Self
I’ve waited a day before writing this. Firstly because it’s intensely personal (Big Steve, Little Steve) and I feel vulnerable. Secondly because I wanted to see if what had happened was real and had lasting effects. A wall inside me fell yesterday morning. A wall I didn’t know I had. *** I was reflecting on […]
Torrent of Bliss
The glimpse of the natural Self that I had a few days back was acting like an underground volcano. The magma that built up in the chamber, when it finally blew, turned out to be an explosion of the kundalini, the Mother’s Shakti or Divine Energy, Bliss, the Great Comforter. (1) I watched as a […]
Peace at Last
I’ve reached a new plateau and I don’t know how to describe it. It’s peace. That much is certain. But how did I get here and will it last? The originating event was sitting at my desk looking out over this now snow-blanketted landscape. I felt such peace. I saw that I had no memories […]
Activating the Wellspring – Part 2/2
(Continued from yesterday) Later in the same reading of March 13, 2015, I returned to the topic of the spiritual experience that I was in the middle of (and still am) because I wanted further reassurance. AAM gives a lot more information on this space or state of being, which he described earlier as a […]
Activating the Wellspring – Part 1/2
From March 14, 2015. The next two articles relate to the experience of the heart opening that I described yesterday. It made possible everything that happened later. Part 2 supplies a later conversation in the same reading that touched on these matters again (to be posted tomorrow.) Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve […]
System Restore
From May 2014 This experience, which I called “System Restore,” saw the closure of my past as a complaint. I was enabled to go right back to age six and rejoin my then-happy life, pushing all of the rest since then into outer space. It was amazingly cleansing and liberating. I asked Archangel Michael about […]
