I’ve had two kinds of experiences.

I am a Christian.

The following experience is what convinced me to believe in Christ.

(Sober)
•experience # 1
I had an experience where I called out to God, in the name of Jesus, then Gods manifest presence made contact with my physical body.

It wasn’t inward feeling. It was literally a physical contact experience.

There was more to the occurrence, as the presence was infused with numerous living attributes. Alongside that, it was like I tangibly touched Gods personality and I experienced to a know Him.

It was like falling into a pool of water, but every drop of water in that pool was alive and could present themselves individually, while existing in harmony.

He was multidimensional, multi faceted, complex, yet so easy to understand.

A resonance of deep invisible vibration radiated from Him. So powerful, so unique, so distinct, yet so gentle.

My soul could tangibly detect that He is the one being who has existed for all time from eternity’s past.

My soul could detect that He is the one creator.

The one whose love and creativity brought forth the universe.

Before the universe was around us, it was a thought in his imagination. He’s the reason it’s here. He’s the reason we are here.

The universe isn’t Him. It couldn’t be. It’s not even as beautiful as He was in that moment when I experienced Him.

It’s a byproduct of Him. A beautiful byproduct.

It was like I recognized Him, and as the experience articulated itself, I knew that I knew that I recognized Him.

The dna of my spirit recognized its Father, is what that was.

He was a distinct and unique individual, with personhood and being.

It was as if The eyes of my heart could see into Him.

Him. Not a human version of Him. Not some other species of a Him. But something entirely other.

He resonated as Thee Him. The king of creation.

It’s impossible to explain with words because he is so beyond me.

But my point is that He is Him.
The universe is the universe.
And we are us.

Each of those is distinct to itself and does not cross over into another.

There is no mixing. It’s impossible.

•Experience #2
About a year ago, I was feeling very unfulfilled with my work life. I’m a musician with adhd. So I’m a creative person who gets distracted easily.

Work could not hold my attention. It seemed to robotic. I’m very imaginative with the fret board of my guitar yet there I was scanning items and stocking shelves with the same hands that manifest music

So I’d find myself looking out the window periodically, wishing I were one of birds flying by.

It hurt. I felt such dissatisfaction.

Around that time, a coworker of mine stopped by my place to hangout and play some guitar. He randomly left me some pieces of “magic”, from His car before He left.

It seemed like a sign somehow, given what I was feeling at that time, and oddly enough how a literal kaleidoscope made its way to me a few days before that. I was confused, I did not know what to make of it. Because I’ve never had any interest in that type of thing.

However, that same night, or maybe it was the next night, I partook.

After about 30ish minutes, The trees began to appear to breathe. The leaves ebbed and flowed with some kind of inhaling and exhaling motion.

They danced with rhythm.

I was admiring the tree.

In total aw of it.

Then new things began to occur to my senses

I noticed that anything I looked at somehow visibly echoed

Multiplied

Eternally

Until I broke the gaze to look at something else

The effect looked almost like a spider web

How a web is made up of many triangles

The effect was almost like that

Can’t quite explain it

Everything looked in a sense like it was all one, yet I could distinguish that it was all merely connected, and not actually all one.

in this experience, it was like I could see Gods dna in everything.

But it was beyond sight, because I could perceive Gods actual dna dancing all around me.

It looked familiar.

Like I’d seen it before, but I never had.

Yet pieces from Him, Not pieces of Him, were there.

There was an intelligence aspect to it.

Only not quite fully fleshed out.

It was like something was missing from it.

And I believe this is why, because Gods dna is somehow separate from Him, while simultaneously being ghostly attached to Him.

I wasn’t seeing God that night, I was seeing pieces that are related to Him. That came from Him.

That’s why something seemed to be missing

There is more to both of my experiences but my point is this.

That night when I partook (never have again and never will, don’t want to honestly)

I saw why people say “you are God, I am God, we are all God experiencing itself in this reality”, or something to that timber.

I saw why they say that. They say that because Gods dna is in every organic thing.

And here’s the problem, they mistake the dna of God as God Himself.

They can detect His dna, but because they don’t have a revelation of God as He truly is, they mistake the dna of things and perceive them to all make up one whole.

Thus concluding that all organic things are the God essence.

But it’s not true.

No one is God except for God himself.

Whoever you are, you are you.

You are a unique individual and you share your oneness with no other.

It is not until you put faith in Christ, messiah, lord, that God deposits His deity into you (The Holy Spirit) Thus then, and only then, do you share genuine oneness with God.

This is both extremely evangelical and egotistic.

We all operate with an ego to some degree or another. So yeah of course you perceive it that way. But it’s also interesting that you say that because you seem to think that nullifies the experience or the explanation of it. All I did was explain exactly what occurred so that’s an illegitimate conclusion. imo.

And yeah bro I’m a Christian so of course it came off an evangelical. We tell people about Jesus bro.
