Finding The Absolute

The other day, during my reading, I encountered another past mystic and spiritual leader who had also encountered the Absolute, a place of total love and well being with none of the opposites, during his contemplation/meditation.  He even used the same words to describe it as I did and sensed its realness as well. When I first encountered/sensed the Absolute, I was not aware that many others had experienced it before me.  I felt quite pleased and validated that they had.  I have, since then, realized that I could only fully appreciate the feeling of the Absolute because of my memory of a primarily loveless childhood.  As I have said many times “what better way to feel the importance of love, than through the total absence of it?”
