The lucid self is an awareness where we don't slide into conditions and lose our sense of self. When our awareness narrows, we become a lost soul. The lost soul is a consciousness that has dropped into the place where one's human thoughts, emotions, and sensory perceptions are all synchronized, where the consciousness makes the mistake of focusing on that one spot too closely. Divine Energy is always available to us. But in the lost-soul state, we have closed ourselves off to It.
In rediscovering our sense of self, we can become aware that we are the ones experiencing both the event and the corresponding thoughts and emotions. In other words, the more we are willing to let the world be something we are aware of, the more it will let us be who we are.
Spiritual Energy is what we experience when love rushes into our heart. The ultimate spiritual practice is to live in the world with an open heart.
If we protect ourselves perfectly, we will never be free.
