How to have a genuine, profound spiritual experience? Don’t just do something. Stand there. This is it. The ground beneath your feet, the air surrounding you, filling your lungs, your heart; the light, reflected by the sufaces of all of the objects around you; the energy that you feel within you that is your self, which experiences the “real” world. This is what we know of God. The importance we attribute to each moment we are alive is how we express our love of His creation and how we live gratefully, happily, productively.
