You have direct access to God within the depths of your being. You don’t need a church, or a pastor, or a priest, or a guru, or worship music, or prayer, or confession, or a “holy” book, or anything external to experience God. There are absolutely no mediators necessary because the divine is inherently within you. And not just within you, but one with you.

The question is, if God is within us and has always been within us, how do we “go within” and discover and experience what we have always had? The answer is meditation. Meditation is the method (not the mediator) that enables us to transcend the analytical, thinking mind and enter into the sacred stillness of our heart space. The sacred stillness of our heart space is the doorway to the divine presence within where the ego (sense of being a separate self) is dissipated, and we taste the undiluted reality of being—Divine Union (as the Christian Mystics call it). While this experience is ultimately ineffable, it’s been given many different names such as “God-Consciousness,” “Cosmic Consciousness,” “Samadhi,” “Satori,” or simply “Onening” as Julian of Norwich called it. Julian also said, “Between God and the soul, there is no in-between.”

When I first learned about this reality of “God” being within, I was astonished and amazed. I became obsessed with the notion of going within to discover God and Divine Union. I even wrote an entire book about it. But eventually, it became another doctrine for me, another theology—something else to believe in. The only problem with this was that I was tired of believing in this. I had gotten enough of that from my years in fundamentalism. At this point in my journey, I wanted knowing, not belief. I wanted experiential knowledge, not intellectual knowledge. And this is when I became interested in meditation. Soon after, after letting go of many conditioned misconceptions about meditation, I learned how to meditate correctly. When I learned how to meditate correctly, “the divine within” went from being a theological concept to believe in to a direct mystical encounter that would lead to a experiential knowing and authentic spiritual transformation.

In this video, I share a little bit about my journey with meditation and how you can experience God directly within yourself through meditation. I explain five practical steps that will help you to begin meditating correctly and then ultimately transcend into deeper mediative states where oneness with God is realized and experienced. Enjoy the bliss!
