I think you have a very interesting perspective. I wonder if the differences between us are more to do with semantics than philosophy. If I've undertood correctly, you call (for the purpose of analogy) your internal enlightenment 'god,' whilst I call a collection of things, like reason, awareness and truth. For me, there was no feeling of surrender, or giving in......just the opposite. I felt a gradual forging of conviction.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
"God" for me is something very simple and still. It is just the awareness that holds everything. I can not say it in any other way. But I think you are right that there is a union of reason, awareness, truth, emotion and will. These can be unified into a single point where you act and respond from. I feel that this union does not need any conviction, it is an instant recognition of what the situation demands of you; which need no justification or elaboration. Maybe it is this that is called intuition, To make use of your entire being instead of using only your thoughts or ability to reason. For me this is accomplished through a total surrender to the moment, "I" as an individual self dissolves and all that is left is just "what is"
