There's something exhilarating but simultaneously very freaky about feeling God is inside you, watching your every move, giving you endless love, and just generally being around all the time. Perhaps it is time to bring out a law about God being a stalker who, well, is just too much of a bloody nuisance. I don't think for a moment we are meant to preoccupy ourselves with such notions. It's unhealthy and undesirable to be immersed permanently in such thinking. Certainly, it conflicts with the demands of being in everyday reality. While peak experiences of immersion in or touching a unity can be had, they seem to me to come more randomly than through sustained meditational practise. My best such experiences preceded Knowledge, when, living abroad, I had a series of deep enlightenments, experiencing quite sudden feelings of 'detached' or higher consciousness. However, these seemed to be paid for by a sense of rupture in my outside life. I ended up spending a lot of time trying to figure out their meaning, and becoming divorced from everyday life. While I am very happy retrospectively to have had such experiences, and various other, maybe diluted ones or different ones through Knowledge, I am happier these days to hold them as a small reminder of a unity which I don't have to be seeking constantly. I'm happy to settle for everyday realities, and the multifold aspects of life at ordinary level, for which we are naturally attuned. I enjoy meditation, but never strive for effects, just periodically quieten into the old K techniques (because I'm used to these), and enjoy some relaxation and calm. Personally I don't believe all those teachers who tell you you have to transcend the everyday - to escape the maya or whatever. The everyday is fine and dandy, and much more desirable than being in universal consciousness 24/7, which is impossible anyway, whatever anyone in history has tried to suggest. All types of peak experience are best enjoyed fleetingly, otherwise they drain all our energy in trying to maintain them, and we become their slaves, instead of the people of choice we are meant to be by the nature of our evolutionary and social consciousness. I get my spiritual enjoyment quite independently of any teacher or whatever, through a personal appreciation of the calm I find in meditation, and which exists quite naturally in all of us. I did, however, attend Wembley, but more with a desire to see a lot of old friends than anything else, as they are loved companions of many years' standing.
