I believed it once, but now I know.
A painful but priceless experience in hindsight, my juvenile subjection to dogma left me unprepared for a true encounter with "The Big Guy" in which it was indubitably proven to me. Nevertheless via pure fear, I was somehow still miraculously able to muster up some semblance of doubt... perhaps I simply doubted my sanity? This too has since passed.

Texts? Immersing oneself in writings of the truly devoted/gifted can impart knowledge or inspire faith among other things. The presence of one having attained a certain degree of consciousness can point us to the higher realms where such realities are privately known. But the rational mind can only take us so far until, at last, it's accepted that higher faculties must be developed in order to engage the spiritual realm. Indeed, even these are only markers on a path which cannot embed conviction into one's very being like a direct experience of the divine. That experience and therefore the conviction becomes unceasing.
Conversations? They're one example of the many trust-building reinforcements that confirm it for me even now. The sneaking suspicion that one isn't alone in their thoughts is only the ego being made uncomfortable in its striving to dominate one's perception. Social interaction can appear to be mundane chit-chat, but at its root it consists of self better understanding self... self-reflection.
What I was once apt to superstitiously misjudge as some eerie phenomenon of telepathy
, I now know to be nothing other than a man/woman in close communion with the Source. An apparent separation is enough to conceal that underlying truth and so it must when the One pretends to be the many.

This is not to say
i am the great
I nestled into this temporal form... it is to say I've awakened to the tangible reality that, in essence, I and the supreme being are one. Among numberless mysteries of the spirit it is a disguised blessing to recognize that, in truth, there really are no secrets.
I can attest to what's commonly known as a "born again" experience, so it suffices to say I've become an entirely new creature. Naturally, a mere change in behavior is grievously inadequate to describe the totality of such a transformation.
Regards.
