How close can the theoretical get to direct experience of God?

[Cathal]

the intellect is only grasping from information so fuck no, when you are in certain states of consciousness, the true indescribable magnitude of this whole thing is a step ahead and you can only surrender and know, you can not know. you see how absolutely stupid you are if you really wake up to it

but you could also say you are already god bla bla bla but you are in the contraction of the self so it feels less than majestic and you crave a mystical experience, it's really not hard to have mystical experiences using psychedelics - just do it, take so much you don't have the option but to dissolve into it if you truly want to experience it

[Loba]

Look for the soul, once you find it you can get access to any question you have.
How to do this:  Open the heart through bhakti yoga. 
Give, your energy outwards, meditate in prayer - with Love directed towards God.
This "clears space" for God to come into you, through you.
Don't conceptualize anymore, use your heart instead.
Throw everything away and focus on whatever it takes to bring energy up to the heart, anything you can think of that would be a block to that.
Inquire and write down everything that keeps the energy from enveloping your heart.
When you Love, you will be connected to everything.
 

Why did you chase me
If you would erase me?
Why would you hold me
Just to watch me drown?
Why would you taste me
Slither and snake me?
Why would you morph me?
Tell me
Am I lost?

I know it's hard to find
But somewhere along the line
It gets easier

the theoretical only serves to get out of the theoretical. thought is part of the dream, it cannot encompass what goes beyond it
