DWQA QuestionsCategory: Divinely Inspired MessengersFenn wrote, “I quickly became so involved in worship that I was what I call, and the Bible seems to say, as being in the Spirit. That is, I wasn’t aware of anything around me, only the realm of Spirit.” This is similar to what Steiner, Saint Faustina, and many other mystics and seers have reported throughout the ages. Some might refer to it as “being in ecstasy” or an “ecstatic experience.” Fenn reports that it’s not our physical body and senses that participate, but that of our “spirit man,” a spiritual counterpart with its own sensory capabilities that sees, hears, smells, etc. What can Creator tell us?

These descriptions are an authentic retelling of personal experience of being raised up by the divine, with an opening of the mind and heart and the senses as well, to a higher state of vibration, a state of greater purity, and sense of completion. That is what leads to feeling not only buoyant but in a state of exalted completion, without a need for anything else, because the feeling is one of total happiness. This state of being is the simple absence of negativity in any form, it is rarely achieved by human beings, and never by other physical extraterrestrials in your galaxy, so it is not a recipe for knowing God, it is an end product of feeling God within. Historically, the most common path to divine awareness has been cultivated by worship of one kind or another. This is because of tradition and some manipulation of thinking about the nature of the divine, being a harsh and judgmental overseer, demanding obedience and fealty to divine decrees and expectations. That is, in fact, an impediment to achieving a high vibration because starting in fear is heading in the wrong direction. There needs to be a feeling of love and trust within the being to rise in vibration to be a match to us. It is that match and shared experiencing of loftiness that allows you to share some of our makeup more personally, and it can be quite profound, indeed. When the expectation is one has to make a sacrifice in order to arrive at God's doorstep, that again is a departure from the best and easiest path, simply from the expectation it must be hard, it must be onerous, and it must cost you something significant. So the expectation is, there must be pain involved, hard work, difficulty, and a risk of failure that will compound things and cause a worsening that could even condemn you from failing in the eyes of God. Here again is no way to start a journey to enlightenment and jubilation. The only benefit of such a perspective is that it does require a strong commitment at the outset to make the journey. Most failures come about because people are half-hearted in what they undertake. They do not put themselves fully on the line, so to speak, from fear of failure, and then condemn themselves to that likelihood without realizing if they had made a stronger commitment and believed in themselves they would have had the wherewithal to bring about a victory. This is very clear to us because we know where you come from and what you are made of. You are part of us, after all, and capable of things far beyond your understanding and level of belief while being in the physical plane. Some of that is a consequence of your current configuration because you are, indeed, quite limited compared to when you are a light being before your incarnations, but there is a difference between wanting to fly, knowing one should be able to do that, and yearning for greater freedom and capability, but not fully believing it is even possible—that is the gap you contend with. So the discipline and hard work of devotional worship can be a route to growth and expansion, through greater faith, in cultivating the necessary beliefs to flourish in a higher state of awareness and function, but it is still a harder path than necessary. Given that belief must come from somewhere, if that is the only way it can be cultivated, it is worth doing.
