Try to become one with your object of devotion, concentrate fully on God, or simply love your inner Self to a point that only pure Awareness continues to exist. When you experience the inner Bliss and Beingness you will be filled with more comfort than you thought you were in need for. Let us not fear a genuine spiritual experience more than we fear death.

Fear is the result of our identification with body and mind.

The rules laid out by other religions are very similar, if not the same. And, in contrast to the more popular belief, all Religions agree that God can be found now as opposed to later. The commandments may in fact be much more than a set of rules.
