We all have experienced such a state at one point or another, though we may not recall. Spiritual ecstasy occurred a lot when we were babies or little children. It is a state of complete innocence, sheer beauty and divine love. It is a time of laughter and joy. We did not have a care in the world; for in such a state there are no worries, no pains, no ills, and no consciousness of evil and lack.

We were at one with pure consciousness, divine love, light and life. And in that reality there were complete wholeness, total well-being and perfect Self-expression. There was nothing to fear, nor anything to resist, there was only divine peace and love.

And later on as we grow up our divine nature slowly begins to get corrupted by our environment and the world thought system; which has caused fear to arise in our consciousness. Fear is the opposite of love and the root of many evils. It is negative faith. Fear is the belief in some opposite force or outside power that can harm us or affect us.

Because of such erroneous belief we slowly attract in our reality negative experiences which in the long run will cause us to deny our true nature and origin. And we begin to conform to the world negative belief in sin, sickness, lack, and poverty. We end up forgetting our real home, the place whence we came from.

Spiritual ecstasy is a spirit call to return home and experience Eden all over again. It is a pure desire to unite our mind with God’s mind. It all begins with a willingness to let go of the false reality this world offers, and to deny the adverse circumstances we may be experiencing, whether it is some type of lack, illness, or bad habits. You must believe that those are the characteristics of the false ego personality; which is the nature that has taken birth due to the world negative consciousness. You must realize that your true nature and your perfect self expression are awaiting on you to manifest. God is waiting on you to make the decision to come home and Christ is eager to take you there.

You haven’t experienced spiritual ecstasy simply because you have denied the Spirit's call. The Spirit is always calling, just as He is calling you right now. If you would only open your heart and simply say 'yes' and allow him to show you the wonders you are made of; your true nature and origin.

You can experience this right now if you would for a moment take a deep cleansing breath and slowly exhale as you become only conscious of God. In that pure awareness think of infinite love and goodness, think of everlasting life, think of complete happiness, and unending joy. Ponder on what it will be like to experience perfect peace and not having a care in the world. Allow yourself to delve into that reality.

Furthermore see all your problems resolved, see no more pain, sickness and lack. Then lose yourself awhile in that visualization. Acknowledge the existence of only ONE Power and it is divine. Let that pure energy overtake your mind, fill your heart and let the feeling of inner peace, security and love enfold and envelope your entire beingness. There is nothing to fear.

This is spiritual ecstasy. It is experiencing heaven on earth. You can experience this as often as you would like and as you are consistent with this practice the Spirit will lead you further to experiencing more wholeness and peace.
