Communing With God

Topic: Immanence & Transcendence

For me, Self is not a brain state. Instead it is a spiritual essence within us and around us, like a field, that can quiet that thinking part of the brain… And, from my perspective then, these are… glimpses of the pure Self that is always there. It’s just that it’s usually obscured by our parts and their burdens. We are indeed communing with God, if you consider Self to be God within us.
