I can feel his presence and I'm not really sure how I do that. Feel free to discuss how you connect with your higher being.

Thank you for sharingSometimes I am "not lazy" and do some intense sadhana, like there is a church where they sing hymns continuously for ca. 12-14 hours. They also have the short ones of only 4-6 hours, but that is too short for me. Never magic happens to me. When I go then I go totally and quite a few times magic happens (enough to keep me going). Jesus did appear to me, all His Grace of course (maybe to stimulate me not to get "lazy" again')
So I think it's simple to feel Jesus ... just put in the hours of meditation, chanting mantras, singing hymns or whatever is prescribed.
I don't say it's easy though. I have this tendency to be lazy when it comes to sadhana (12h ... come on Jesus .. actually it happened after 6 or 8 hours, but still ... but I don't complain).
But once I heard Sai Baba say somthing like:
You are very fortunate to live in Kali Yuga. It is so easy now. No need to meditate just think of God 24/7 (meditation meaning "no thoughts" is kind of "not easy". Thinking about God (or your Master/Prophet) is way easier (creating thoughts is way easier than stop them). In Satya Yuga people needed to meditate for thousand of years to get 1 vision (probably not all at once ... spread over 10 birth or so)
What I have found is that it becomes like turning a ball valve in your plumbing. When we are focused on all the stuff in our world we are concerned and preoccupied with, we have the handle on the ball valve turned off. All the water only flows up to a certain point, which in this metaphor is the ego.I can feel his presence and I'm not really sure how I do that. Feel free to discuss how you connect with your higher being.

Very clear to me.When we are focused on all the stuff in our world we are concerned and preoccupied with, we have the handle on the ball valve turned off. All the water only flows up to a certain point, which in this metaphor is the ego.
Why people have such a hard time "letting go of the ego" and find it so easy to hold on to distractions?Once we surrender the ego, and let go of holding onto all those concerns and distractions, then we can by a choice of the will to simply turn that handle and open up the rest of the plumbing that reaches from heaven above, so to speak. Then water can flow, and we are refreshed in the soul, needing fresh water to replace that stagnant water blocked and held back by the ego that stands in the way.
That is what all the Saints, Prophets told usThen, whatever form symbolizes that energy of Spirit, be that Jesus, or some saint, becomes instantly accessible to you at any point. It's never anywhere away from us, but simply not experienced because we have the ball valve shut. It's only our hand that can turn our own ball valve. It's all is only a choice in the end of letting go.
For me the words were "more visual" than the visual alreadyVisuals help....
In my case, it's more of the actions on me dealing with the Holy Spirit. To explain this here again would take several long posts, so I really don't want to go through all of that again. If I was smarter, I would have written it out and saved it when I first posted it here, but...I can feel his presence and I'm not really sure how I do that.

Trying to keep control is my "issue to solve/overcome in this life"living my life as if I can do it myself
