Grace can be one hell of a surprise! Grace happened to me totally unexpectedly. I was an ordinary atheist/agnostic reading a book on how to improve my concentration when I woke with tears streaming down my face one day and somehow knew that I wasn't this body, thoughts, emotions. That everything was perfect at all times and all there was was now. It has become my whole life. Nothing has changed but everything is different. There is nothing else but now, and this seems to be happening more and more. Life is so much easier now. I think I nearly went a little insane at first because these were all pretty radical concepts to me as I had no history or knowledge of anything spiritual - in fact, thought it was all crap that people used as a crutch to cope with life. I had assumed until that day that all spiritual beliefs were self projected ideas that people used to cope with not having a meaningful existence. Grace socked it to me. I must have had a receptive place for it? I just wasn't concious of it. In fact I now think that everything is grace, just happening as it does. Maybe in my own way I was looking for this , but looking in science and mathematics and life rather than in spiritual beliefs? I must be feeling gregarious today. Hello Mark: >>Oh well, more words... someday I will express this so it can be heard. You are joking aren't you Mark? You come across loud and beautifully clear. Eternally grateful for grace and beautiful people, Love Annie ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
