Bruce Leroy Spiritual Q/A

God is very tricky to define because all words rely on the speaker and the listener having a matching definition, and ‘God’ definitely means something different to most of us. So when I say ‘God’ it already means something different to each of you. I thought about using a different word, something that means nothing yet, but I don’t want to ‘create’ a cast of characters. Instead, I will try to modify some of your definitions. That said, God is not something separate from a single thing in the multiverse. God is within everything. God exists before, during, and after all time. Please take care that when you say, ‘God’ out-loud or to yourself, that God is not separate from you!! The mind is very powerful and when we say ‘God’ as if ‘it’ is something outside of us, we actually separate from God. I’m not sure how much I will actually say, ‘God’ in this text since I don’t really know my audience. You should know that I believe God is in everything we do and are. During my experience, my con...

First off, I changed this question that was originally worded, “reach” with “experience”. I did this because I feel that ‘reach’ implies a level or even a constant level, when in reality it’s more like going out of town. You go, but you come back. Since we were ‘born’ in this ‘town’, it’s safe to say that we belong here. That being the case, I’m in no way suggesting that anyone try to visit the ‘town’. In fact, my interpretation of studies would say that many people have actually gone, but none fully came back! In Joseph Campbell’s book, ‘Myths to Live By’ he interviewed people that had undergone a certain type of, paranoid schizophrenic delusion, as defined by their doctors. The one’s that were coherent described a similar experience to mine. The difference being is that when I was being bombarded with information, I was able to let it pass through, thanks to practicing meditation. Without that, it’s very easy for me to understand why those patience are institutionalized. Another adva...

The multiverse, by my definition, is all inclusive of everything in existence. Everything that exists does so in all dimensions. That means that nothing can exist in less then all of the dimensions. Every speck of dust, all things that we are aware of, exists in all dimensions. Since most of our senses exist in the third dimensions, touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing, it stands to reason that most of our focus should also be based on this third dimension. This doesn’t mean that we don’t exist beyond this state, it’s just an acknowledgement that our vehicle, our bodies are created for a physical existence. Furthermore, even though time is infinite our normal waking consciousness is only aware of the present. The fact that we are here is because we are supposed to be here. This sounds simple and obvious yet most religious philosophies focus on “the after life” or other levels of consciousness. Sure there is an after life and sure there are other levels of consciousness but if those ...

I achieved enlightenment or a state of nirvana by pushing with my entire mind, spirit and soul, to 'go away', 'to escape', the words of the women looking down on me. Every adjective she used to describe who she thought I was, pierced my being. Eventually, killing my reality. She was my love; no words uttered from another meant more then hers, at that time. Then, I existed in two places, simultaneously, and had a dual awareness feeling as though “I” had lost it’s meaning. One consciousness was on the bed and governing my physical body, the other was solitary in a peaceful emptiness. Before my mind could define the lack of light as darkness and attach the instinctual fear associated with a void of sensation, an outline of a door appeared in golden light, turning the emptiness black in contrast. Even at 22 I sometimes feel afraid in the dark, but I was consciously aware of a deep, encompassing love justifying my trust and openness. I reached out for the door and as my arm ...
