God exists outside of time (as pure consciousness) but also within it as the universe and as separate, individual conscious beings. Saying that you experienced pure consciousness means that you experienced a level of consciousness that allowed you to experience oneness with God, meaning you experienced “God as God” — meaning as pure consciousness. Therefore, expressing the realization that you experienced oneness with God, is not the same thing as saying “you are (the one and only) God.”

You are not saying that you are God from the perspective of God experiencing its infinite mind as the universe. Rather, your experience allowed you to experience oneness with God as pure consciousness. There is only one consciousness; therefore experiencing pure consciousness within yourself allowed you to experience oneness with God.

The statement means that you attained a level of consciousness that altered your perspective, which allowed you to experience pure consciousness and oneness with God.

When most people refer to “God” they are referring to “God” from the perspective of “God as Creator” or “God as the living universe.” However, experiencing oneness with God is an occurrence that happens completely outside of the universe and outside of existence itself. Thus, saying that you experienced oneness with God has no bearing on religion, prayer, meditation or any other means of connecting with the energy of God expressing itself as the universe.

The difference between “God as pure consciousness” and “God as the Universe” will not be perceptible until you have reached a level of consciousness referred to as “God consciousness” or “oneness with God.” When you actually experience a state of pure consciousness, you will perceive that God just is. God is. That is all.

Experiencing oneness with God means that you know you are one with God such that the question “What is God?” does not exist. You perceive yourself and God as one with all there is. In essence, you experience yourself as one with God so there is no need to ask such a question “What is God?” You know the answer because you experienced it. God is — that is the best description to capture the experience on the basis of words.

God, the creator of the universe, life, time, existence — are inextricably related, and in fact, are all one. God is — therefore so is the universe, life and existence itself. God is…therefore everything is.

Our experience in relationship to God exists along a continuum. One one end, we are God experiencing life as “separate” beings in the universe (“Ego”). On the other end, we are, in fact, one with God (“pure consciousness”). There is only one consciousness that permeates everything in existence; therefore if you experience pure consciousness you experience oneness with God.

Whether you perceive yourself as “one with God”or as God in human form (“Ego”), depends on your perspective. You can experience oneness with God and also experience life as an individual conscious being because there is only one consciousness which exists along a continuum. There is only one — and each of is a part of the whole.

Experiencing a state of pure consciousness, or perceiving yourself from the perspective of pure consciousness (also referred to experiencing yourself as God) does not denounce any religion. In fact, the statement does not relate to any religion at all. Any religion (as well as prayer and meditation) are all effective methods of communicating with God from the perspective of “God as the universe.” But “God as God” and “God as the universe” are not the same thing. Each is a component of the whole, but how you experience God is a matter of perspective. The only way you will be able to distinguish between “God as God” and “God as the universe” is if you actually attain a level of pure consciousness. The universe is the divine energy you know as God expressing itself as the universe, but there is also a state of God as pure consciousness. God just is.

By education, background, and profession, I am an attorney in the telecommunications and technology industries. For most of my life, I was a fiercely competitive, typical overachiever -- always pushing myself to be the “best.” In 2010, I had what I can best describe as a Divine Encounter. This experience is beyond anything I can describe in words. The best description I can offer is that it felt like I was absorbed into the universe. This experience allowed me to see, feel, and understand that I, and indeed everything in existence, are part of an the infinitely intelligent energy known as “God." I experienced myself as "one with God." Following this experience, I was filled with the desire to learn more about spiritual awakening. I researched, read several books, watched films and documentaries, reached out to other seekers, and did everything I could to learn more about this powerful experience. Through this research and learning, I learned that my experience was a gift, but not unique. There are, in fact, many others who have experienced and continue to experience these profound spiritual awakenings. Even at the same time I was undergoing this powerful awakening, on the outside, my life proceeded as normal. I continued on my path as an attorney in two highly competitive industries, which at the same time trying to achieve the seemingly impossible work-life balance. At some point, I reached some sort of “tipping point” and my mind kind of collapsed. I went “over the edge,” so to speak. In what I can best describe as a “mental breakdown,” I found myself once again in a space beyond the physical were I was seemingly “floating” between two worlds. I was aware of my physical body. At the same time, I was aware of a “me” that existed separate from, and in a space seemingly outside of, my body. As “otherworldly” as this experience seemed at the time, at the end of the process, I somehow emerged from this space stronger, wiser, and more emotionally balanced. This miraculous place, which I frequently refer to as “Beyond the Matrix,” somehow healed my mind. I emerged from this space stronger, wiser, and generally more insightful, appreciative, and understanding. I don’t have a specific word to describe what happened to me. All I know for certain is that, following this experience, I felt healed and transformed. The initial Divine Encounter coupled with my subsequent emotional collapse and healing filled me with a desire to share these experiences with others. I would like for as many people as possible to know that there is a space beyond this 3D physical world that can wake up and heal your mind.
