Cosmic Lifeforce
“[The] initial melding of our consciousness with that of the Cosmic Lifeforce instilled a new awareness within us, a warm and comforting knowledge that we are not viewed as mere ants, that we are loved and thought about all the time, that within us dwells a Presence brighter than the most brilliant pulsing star–within us lives the universe, the Grand Cosmic Lifeforce of the Source itself.
From this revealing experience came an enlightened perception: We understood each of our fellow men as a facet of that Living Cosmic Force, too. One’s individual belief systems, social attitudes, ethnic background, mode of dress, or class are meaningless. There are no differences between us, for the blinding Presence is beautiful in all those we see. The experience bestowed upon us an acceptance of our life and our fellow men. The vast mountain night, with its multitude of stars, drew us into its swirling vortex, up through its nebulous portal and into is very beating heart, where we were touched with compassion, acceptance, and a deeper love for all mankind. The darkened mountain night had parted reality’s gossamer veil, allowed us to enter, and revealed the sacred dwelling place where we humbly reached out our trembling hands and were permitted to touch the outstretched finger of God.”
