>>6336289>in those moments there's not a doubt in my mind that I'm connected to something beyond the world as I understand it.indeed. writing has turned into an increasingly spiritual experience for me over the years, as my own beliefs shifted (hopefully, matured). The transcendent can ultimately still only be perceived with senses, so tuning our own senses towards these experiences can definitely be part of a spiritual research of awakening.
I perceive our age as similar to the 3rd Century CE, with the progressive dismantling of the moral unity that had brought the Roman Empire to its greatest extent in all matters (besides perhaps the nobility of its existence which peaked during Hannibal's invasion): different cults and religions scrambling to fill the niches that the dominant religion has lost. As the world echoes in all things, it can be thought as a biological process of competition for the minds and hearts and hands of Man. And like someone used to say 'God is always on the side of the best artillery', so we'll judge these times, in the future, under the lenses of different gods, or perhaps worshipping their absence like today, but at any rate whatever will have won this internecine war that is going on right now.
Perhaps God is also, always, in the process of discovering Himself.
