The basic recognition that all is God can be, and often is, sudden. (For me, it happened without warning in my mid-teens.)
Exploring variations of this, and living from it, is a lifetime exploration.
For instance…..
This experience – including physical pain, emotional pain, discomfort, sadness, anger, joy, reactivity – it’s all God (AKA Spirit, love, awareness).
God as love, presence, awareness takes the form of everything in experience, including a me here and a wider world. In one sense, it’s all love, presence, awareness. And in another, it’s all varied with a me and a wider world, and “levels”, processes, development and evolution.
Recognizing what’s here – including wounds – as God (love, awareness), is a healing of how it’s related to, and allows it to heal too.
What bothers me “in here” and “out there” is all Spirit, love awareness, and being bothered is it too. Since it already is love, presence, awareness, it can be met with that too.
Although all is Spirit, love, awareness and perfect as it is, there is a human side. And this human side has its own needs and desires, and it has consequences to ignore that.
I could have, and did, say this even back then. And yet, it’s also an ongoing exploration. It’s a continually humbling process.
Note: In my immediate experience all is love, presence and awareness. It’s possible to think that this is more of a psychological and individual phenomena, and that “the world out there” is perhaps physical and matter and nothing more. And yet, any ideas of a world “out there” that’s different from love, presence and awareness is also the same love, presence and awareness. And there are enough synchronicities and other experiences suggesting that the wider world “in itself” is also love, presence and awareness. Matter does appear, in several ways – in immediate experience, through synchronicities and other experiences, and perhaps even suggested by current science – as love, presence, awareness.

– all is god, can be a sudden realization/recognition/noticing
– variations on “all is god”, a lifetime exploration – nuances, new areas, how to live it etc.
– this is what peace feels like, this is god/spirit (this experience, as it is)
– recognizing pain, wounds, discomfort too as god/spirit/love/awareness (allowing it to surface, heal etc.)
