Essential Experience

In essential experience the identity is definite and singular, with a sense of freedom, lightness, joy, and the like. There is a sense of excitement, playfulness, and adventure. We feel interested in ourselves, excited about life, wanting to live and enjoy it. We feel our preciousness and specialness and the preciousness and delight of living. Life feels like an adventure with unlimited potential and exciting possibilities. (The Point of Existence, pg 139)

In essential experience, however, the Self is not only definite and singular, but also feels like a sense of freedom, lightness, joy and delight... There is a sense of excitement, playfulness and adventure. One suddenly feels interested in oneself, excited about one's life, wanting to live and enjoy it. One feels one's own preciousness and specialness, and the preciousness and delight of living. Life feels like an adventure, of unlimited potential and exciting possibilities. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 270)

In order for the person to embody the essential experience, Essence must impact the personality; it must transform the personality. (Diamond Heart Book )
