Dude.
Look, I’m a big follower of Eckhart Tolle’s works. I know of the power of right now. Byron Katie is another author of great spirituality.
I understand being In Joy In This. I empathize with the joy of existance.
But dude: this sounds like you’ve crossed from that place, to self worship. The whole article reads like you are fapping the entire time.
I’m also a 12 stepper, and one of the first things we learn is, “there is a God and I’m not it.l
Here. Something else. This is offered with great love, because it is obvious you are a seeker. Please shed the offense you may feel upon reading this, it will get you truly closer to what you seek. I will be quite blunt, but do not mistake my bluntness for trying to offend. Quite the opposite: I seek to offer a hand.
Okay. That said, here it goes:
You are an addict. You are completely addicted to your mind. It’s a fact we have thoughts, but our thoughts are not facts. It’s a fact we have feelings, but our feelings are not facts.
You are not your mind. You are not your thoughts. You are not your emotions. You are not even your body.
What are you, then? You are as I am: Pure love, manifested.
To place such faith in mind is to place faith in illusion. Your story of who you are is a complete fabrication, present only in your mind, and only fleetingly — while you are alive — and even only fleetingly during your life.
The path to some level of spiritual enlightenment will lead you to these very truths. I encourage you to keep seeking.
BY THE WAY: There is nothing wrong, whatsoever, with believing as you do, right now. You are RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. This is perfect, just the way it is. I do, however, want you to get a glimpse of what might lie before you if you continue to develop and realise all the things you already actually knew. :)
——the adoration of your self that is Splendor.——
I don’t think you know yourself very well.
There is One Who is Good, True, Beautiful and Being Itself. And it ain’t me or you.
Have you read Aristotle? He’s very grounding.

The world tells us to love self, but Christ calls us to die to self. The focus of adoration should be Christ. This article is a lie and deceives others.
