The Annihilation Of Selfhood And The Fulfillment Of Love Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Hi, Tony! I was attracted to the title and so read this one. Here is my experience, such as it is, of these things. It is true that our touching God is not the things you mention in the first two stanzas. Though, as in my experience, the desperation to meet God may be admixed with selfishness and misconceptions about what it is. But though I have had mystical experiences, brief but profound, I find I still live with the donkey of my carnal self. If I understand St. Paul correctly as he explains in Romans 7, as long as we inhabit these earthly bodies we will struggle against its demands and, instead, do the best we can to follow the promptings of love. Is your experience different than this? Glen
