Whether liar or lunatic ...i think it perfectly sane for any man to step outside the reaches of Normalicy" and reject the squalor and fear, and always endless competing and inevitable strife that follows. We can live together so much better when we are fully charged with Life and free to experience and express profound emotions.
In a more perfect world (one that is based on the spiritual) the words "seek and you shall find" take on new meaning. For any man to turn to stand rapt in awe and contemplation of the huge experience of life ....and find divine revelation , is just fine with me.
It is not as flawed as some people would have others belive. That we are totally with sin and live in a state of futility to have any nearness or contact with the higher powers. If Jesus wished to sometimes feel so inspired , to say "He was one with the Father", i would not be the one to say he was a liar , and only search his face for signs of beauty and peace. It is within everyone want to feel this way towards life. There are songs in every part of the world that express this.
I myself have often come into contact with the infinite. Still try to daily find some revelation of life and slight wind that stirs in my being.
When younger , lived in Yosemite for 2 years. Experiences with God and me were common there, and occured frequently thru the changing seasons.
What suprises me the most , is how few people today , can actually speak with a freer hearts to having any experiences of nearness to God or a sense of the mystical at all .... In my way of thinking , such revelation should come often and be sought. ,
...or all this mind-blowing Creation would seem to be only a waste.
Quoting from scripture and holy books from the distant past is all very good. But can you put them down for one moment ...go out on your porch , look at the sky, breath and say ------->"yes God I feel you"? ...Then go back to watching the world wrestling federation!
Saints are common in India for instance, you'll find Monks walking the streets every where in Asia, and treated with the highest respect. It is common for people in the East to have experiences with God , everyday.
