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.
