Default Another collection of insights

Just now I had a series of revelations that I wanted to share with everyone; I've been reading it in books on spirituality over and over but never truly realized them until now!

- God is reflected in Truth, Beauty, Love, Faith, Unity, etc.! God is radical subjectivity, the source of our consciousness and subjective experiences. Our normal experiences of love and beauty and delight and joy is basically connecting deeply with the Divinity within us and all things, that are normally blocked by our attachments/positionalities and our minds

- Judgment and assumptions block out love that would normally be experienced, that is why we are told to surrender positionalities, desires and fears!

- Why everyone is actually searching for God, even if they profess not to; Divinity is Love and Truth etc., what we all universally value!

- Keeping our minds and will and faith on God reveals His nature, by law of attraction (like attracts like, the spirit automatically floats to where it wills itself) and by valuing God's reflections we become those values, thus revealing God within and around us.

- Everything in the world is perfect as Love and Truth, but our egos distort Reality and create suffering by positionalities and attachments, thus "limiting" Divinity's Presence within us. Thus, our "external" search for happiness is basically continuously seeking where our preconceived notions of what "happiness" is coincide, which basically NEVER happens; which is why most people cannot be permanently happy. My analogy for it is, imagine God to be a 2D plane, and each "duality" we create splits God in half. With our many different dualities, we create various intersecting regions of higher and lower Divinity (i.e. happiness). The thing is, even if we reach a higher region of Divinity, it is projected outwards onto impermanent things and is always subject to loss. Why not remove those judgments and let happiness/joy flow through you no matter the external circumstances? Each duality we remove further reveals Divinity to be All That Is, which is the same process as raising our LOC (level of consciousness).

- Love removes these barriers and slowly tears them down, allowing Divinity to shine forth in all its Splendor.

- All external objects of desire are projections of value by the ego, based on positionalities and judgments, desire and imagination.

- What you desire you already have, only that you do not recognize it! It is "channeled" outside due to the ego's projections.

- What is fear? Fear is losing love/happiness, losing the various projections of happiness/beauty/truth/love/Divinity, fear is the fear of being separate from Divinity and God, disguised as the ego's different fears. Fear of death (ego) = ultimate fear of separation from Divinity, as fear of losing the Source of existence (ultimate joy of Being), hence we compassionately see the ego's and consciousness's innocence, the ego doesn't know better! It is actually trying to find God in the wrong places!

- Thus, fear and desire are two sides of the same coin! Projecting Divinity outside ourselves due to mistaken assumptions of the mind/ego, and so we are always fighting to gain what we never lost, and to keep what we never had.

Hope this additional personal rewording of the same everpresent Truth helped! Welcome any comments! As you can tell, I'm so excited to finally clear up these things
