Questions & Answers

What do you mean in saying "face 'God' without the raiment of doctrinal conditioning"? What would authenticate this experience?

Only the ego, with its ongoing fear of extinction, requires authentication. The truly sacred is self-evidently what it is and requires no intellectual confirmation or resort to ancient scripture. It is simply what is, independent of any and all doctrine and tradition yet of course encompassing the authentic essence in all of them.

What do you mean by "the possibility of transformation"?

Meaning when we face the immeasurable, ineffable unknown in solitude and silence, with integrity, sincerity, and surrender in our hearts, by grace we may be "changed incorruptible." This has been revealed to be the actual miracle of being "born again" in the wake of the moment of so-called "ego death."

How is Christ a "mode of perception"?

This is a challenging question, for which I thank you. "The Christ" refers to rightful human embodiment of the truly sacred, to be the living law in this very moment -- to live "Not my will but Thine," not as a matter of obedience to doctrine or scripture, but effortlessly and naturally at the direct behest of love.
