Just as when a 16 year old goes through a period of euphoria and think they know it all after exiting the turmoil and instability of teenage transition consciousness,

A person who goes through a mid life crisis and puts a toe on the threshold of a transcendent God experience experiences a similar euphoria and looks for a following and writes books to share. They feel special due to the experience.

It’s a trap by the ego to develop a spiritual ego around the spiritual experience taking one away from truly finding God.

I’ve given this same warning to people with similar experiences who then went on to become famous, full of pride, and lose their God connection. It’s not worth it.

When we become full of ourselves we leave no room for God. If you feel you have found your purpose you deceive yourself as our only purpose is as God’s servant. Anything beyond that is ego.

I recently worked with a medical professional who had been writing books and lecturing at conferences as he felt he was communicating God’s messages. He realized it was an imposter spirit and ended up as an inpatient in the psychiatric ward for an extended visit.

What I have to say is 100% verifiable by the entire medical staff here!
