Shaking Up the Foundations
Tonight, I had a genuine religious experience. Yes, I was doing the same old with the friends, but it was something completely sincere and real.
I won’t give claim to it being something familiarly Christian. It was something other-worldly. I felt this sense of peace and wholeness that I had never felt before. It was as if a culmination of all my religious criticisms climaxed and overwhelmed themselves.
Sure, no people holds an absolute truth because so many believe so differently. Our spiritualities are the meeting place between our experience and our inner being. They are something so uniquely human, yet my epiphany was unique only to me.
To place a label on something as this would not do it justice, as I declared to a friend earlier in the night. When normally I would be hesitant about experiencing a higher entity than myself or humanity, I do not feel as such now. No one told me what to believe. No one else will feel this exactly as I have. It couldn’t apply to another as it does me.
The most ironic twist to the story is the fact that I wasn’t even expecting or looking for this. Being from a more secular culture, I have the same opportunity as others to come to a more rational conclusion. Though, there is nothing rational about either this one experience or sentience, altogether.
The point of this is not to profess my beliefs in hopes of proselytization, or even that of me wanting you to seek something as this. I truly believe that no man (or woman, lol) will intentionally find what he is looking for. As with all great things, it comes when you are ready.
I hope my experience expresses the value I hold with it to you. It’s something that I am very humbled by, and I do wish all find what they are looking for. I haven’t exactly found it yet, but I’m going to wait for it to come my way. I suggest you do the same.
Peace.
