Thank you for sharing. I drunk deep and became inebriation. It is helpful we have access to a layering:
the mind takes small
sips, the imagination gulps down seas, the heart hovers over it like over a boundless ocean. Indiscretion belong near the mystery. The fear of confusion. The inclination to dive deep into it as well.
Oh yes. Powerful metaphors that actually bring back some of the experience for me. It is good to take small sips, because chugging the ocean scrambles your brain. 😂
"The angels of mystical experience are not the sanitized beings of popular spirituality. They are forces of transformation that appear when consciousness is ready to be reorganized at a fundamental level. They come not with comfort but with challenge, not with answers but with a reorganization of the questions we thought we were asking.
In short, if you are to encounter one of these beings, be very careful what you ask for."
Thank you for sharing as well. I see stories like this as bridges that others can brave toward new encounters. The passage I quoted above in particular reframes the divine as something tangible and visceral rather than passive comfort or terrifying consequences while simultaneously de-mythologizing the construct to make it accessible . I think that's brilliant.
Indeed, we keep trying to make the divine solely transcendent, but it is in fact, also and at the same time imminent and moving through us at all times. We just need to clean our mirrors to see.

Good advice.

Thank you for sharing! I'm glad someone got something from me attempting making sense of that experience.
