There are some who would argue that you cannot experience God in this life. Then there are those who will argue that there is no God to experience. Some will say that the transcendence of God is beyond the knowledge of man and the experience of God is impossible. One thing is quite certain, God is not likely to be experienced by those who argue that God cannot be known. The very beliefs that they cherish so, will exclude them from divine experience. So the first thing we must conclude is that to experience God, you must first believe that you can or that it is at least possible.

So then, assuming God can be known and that experience of the divine is not only possible, but our birthright as well. Just how does all this work so that it may be applied intentionally??? As we have seen already, there is only one critical factor to be addressed in this regard: Beliefs. Beliefs are not only critical in the experience of the divine but in every experience you will ever have as well. This fact is true because beliefs are how you create your experience. Thus if you are not presently experiencing the divine, it is only by changing your belief that you change your experience. This relationship will always hold true because that is how the system works.

So then, beliefs are how you create your experience. Were you already aware of this fact??? Do you still not get it and need some time to let it all sink in? Are you sputtering in resistance to the truth proclaiming, surly I am not responsible for my reaction to anything! Regardless of whether we accept the Truth or not will not change the system, so let's see if we can't simplify the whole thing somehow for everyone.

Beliefs create experience and every experience reflects a belief, that is a given. So do beliefs just appear out of nowhere or is there something that comes before belief??? Ah HA! That just might be the question that solves the whole puzzle. Where do beliefs come from may be the proper enquiry? Beliefs come from a variety of factors which include: Free Will, Choice and Desire. If this seems too basic, please bare with us here. Free Will is your ability to direct Awareness, Choice is the product of your focus and Desire is what you hope to accomplish. Now if it is not just yet apparent how this system correlates to your own personal experience let's examine these aspects of reality a little closer.

Free Will: Free will as stated is your ability to direct your Awareness. Free Will is considered Free so long as it retains the ability to intentionally disconnect with any belief. Without this ability we consider it Free will in Bondage, although the Free Will itself is always Free, the individuals being trapped in their creation excludes them from access. Free will in Bondage can only obtain Freedom by releasing ideological Servitude. It is probably safe to say at this point, that most folks reading this will fall into this category. So shall we continue, the Freedom of Free will is not the question because Free Will is a given. You were born with it; you have used it all your life and will continue as such for all your days. Of course once you step over into the Active Side of Infinity the rules change considerably and Free Will takes on a Life of its own.

Choice as you should already know is the product of your focus. Here we find out what you have been doing with your free will so far. Instead of getting into that let's examine the whole function of Choice. Choice as a function is a thing we call: Infinite Ignorance and here is how it works. Awareness must be focused in order to concentrate on something as opposed to everything. Once awareness is concentrated into a focus you are by default ignoring everything except that which you are focused on. This Everything you must exclude in order to concentrate, is the Infinite Ignorance of Choice as we see it. This is a meaningless distinction except for the fact that you have to transcend belief in order to make it. So then Choice remains what you Choose to focus on. Every moment of every day your every experience will witness to this force in action. How is focusing on any one thing different from anything else? Simple, it only what you believe it is. So then how do we manage this awesome power of Choice we have been given? That brings us to the next aspect of this manifold singularity that some would call God, and that would of course be desire.

Desire in its most generic sense is what you hope to accomplish, but it goes much deeper than that. Desire is actually an Energy Signature for one of two possible dynamics (Kind of like AC or DC). Love and Fear are the two opposed energy sources and regardless of the focus of your desire, the energy signature of its source is the primary concern. This distinction can be clarified by saying that fear operates by polar passions and Love works by absolution. Since we can assume your ignorance on the subject of absolution let's examine the polar passion of fear.

Fear is the energetic dynamics of a segregated identity. Being stuck in your own little world all alone, what is there but the polar passions of desire? The polarity of desire functions according to the following scale: Pleasure / Pain. This we believe is what the Bible refers to as the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is basically the standard of good and bad, with good being what brings Pleasure and bad being what brings Pain. The whole purpose of the entire dynamic is to keep you forever chasing pleasure and avoiding pain. You can be herded by others or herd yourself wherever you want to go using this principle. Therefore, the polar passions of desire are: Attachments / Aversions with attachment being our desire toward something (pleasure) and our aversions being our desire to avoid or go away from something (pain). All of which is directly proportional to how you define good and bad.

OK, now here's the biggest problem with all that, all these definitions of good and bad are actually definitions of Self. Are you ready for some really bad news??? You will always judge others by how you judge yourself because once again, that is how the system works. By implication this means that not judging yourself is how you not judge your brother, just in case you didn't catch that. By the way, this is only bad news if you enjoy judging your Self and wouldn't know what to do if you couldn't beat yourself down. Hopefully you are smarter than that!!!

So what does all this talk of Self Judgment, Belief, Choice, Desire, Free Will and Responsibility have do with my personal experience of the divine anyhow? This question was posed in the hope of showing you some obvious point by having the question answer itself. It is always your Self judgments that create the experience of God's absence by your belief in personal segregation, it is your choice of fear over love that sustains this predicament and no one but you is responsible for your free will. So now, having said all that, it should be obvious that to experience God all this must change. So what are we talking about here, but a change in how you judge yourself. Here comes the scary part: What if Self really is an absolute value of infinite worth and not knowing that is why you beat yourself down? Can you see how a transformation in your personal identity matrix is not only vital to your ability to experience God but also critical to your own best self-interest as well? You might even see how to pull that off, if you have been paying attention through the course of this investigation.

How to experience God, that's what we want to know. Although we have not prescribed a specific course of action in that regard, we have covered the subject quite thoroughly. Let us say in closing that if you want to know God: Your defenses are the only thing keeping Him out; so lower them by redefining that thing you call Self. Gee, we could have just said that right at the beginning and saved a whole lot of discussion, oh well. Must be that the only thing left to say at this point is: Have A GOD Day!!!
