How can we sense an “unfathomable force?”
Question from the Internet:
“You mentioned earlier the “unfathomable deity” religions worship. From what I’ve seen, the unfathomable deity kinda feels like it’s one’s own self somehow. Aspects of it, perhaps from other lives. To me, they were living people in the here and now, but most had no physical human body; I just heard them. The hearing happened in many ways, sometimes voices in my head, but they were different than my inner dialogue.
So were you born this way, or did the process happen sometime during your life?”
I apologize for constantly going back to the method I am learning and practicing, but everything I know comes from there, and everything I practice is based on it.
So this method teaches that there is some kind of “primordial essence,” or “unfathomable beginning or force,” which stands behind all of the reality we can sense and can ever attain.
But since it is an “essence,” something that is incomprehensible and intangible, this source or origin remains “unfathomable,” at least for now.
But then this method also says something that is similar to how you started.
If we can somehow change, improve and tune ourselves in a way that with our qualities, how we exist and behave, we become more and more similar to that “unfathomable essence,” we can start to examine and actually feel that essence — through the actual qualities and forms we ourselves attained in ourselves.
We can compare it to tuning a radio receiver to the right frequency to start hearing a broadcast; we can compare it to how the best method actors spend months to “get into character” until they cannot tell anymore if they are their original “self” or they actually became the character they want to play.
Thus the method, based on the tried and tested experience of great sages, unique empirical natural scientists who have already attained what they are writing and talking about, explains to us exactly what qualities, characteristics, and behavioral patterns we need to practice and acquire in order to start feeling that “essence” working through us as a result of the similarity.
And then, just like with electricity that we cannot sense, touch, or feel in itself, we can detect, research, and understand that “unfathomable” force through the changes and actions we detect through ourselves.
Now the original scientists describe this “primordial and unfathomable force” as the source of absolute and unconditional love and bestowal that is capable of creating and nurturing life.
Thus if we start practicing and acquiring the ability to behave towards other people — who practice and attain the same towards us — “like that original force,” then through the similarity, we can start to feel what that force is and how it behaves.
And here, our inherently selfish, subjective, and individualistic ego comes to our aid. This ego will start resisting and obstructing this “experiment” of trying to become like reality’s single governing force. The more we try to selflessly and unconditionally serve and love others, the more we realize we can’t since our ego wants everything only for itself.
And we need great, almost superhuman, and mutual efforts and also help from the natural force field the original source operates — we could call nature’s developmental or evolutionary forces — to help us overcome the ego and start behaving as we want, like our source.
And then, since we achieve this against the resisting ego and the ego remains to show us the stark contrast to absolute and unconditional love and service of others, we can clearly verify and detect our new “godly abilities” we attained above and against the ego and we know that we do not simply fool ourselves.
It is this unique contrast and duality between the ego and the newly acquired ability to selflessly and unconditionally love and serve others that makes us “conscious human beings” that can differentiate between “good and evil” and can sense nature’s single operating and life-creating force ion themselves — against themselves.
