The short answer is yes. But in practice, to experience the fullness of that interaction, one must find out what and who they really in the context of all that is, whatever name we give to it, Universe, Cosmos, Brahman, Nirvana, Tau, God, etc., and can be a relatively long and difficult process.This is kind of the question of my life at this point. Having been very disappointed by the gods, especially in christianity, I am currently probing pantheism. So far I have found people speaking of near-death experiences, and I think there might be something to them. But there could also be just death awaiting us and that would be it, which might lead us to love each other as well as we can before becoming wormfood.
But maybe the cosmos is deeper than that and there is a chance for life going on after death somehow. I had experiences with ghosts/dead people/angels sometimes and this might be it.
Anyway, my main question is, is the cosmos responding to you spiritually, like when you pray to it? In me, there is a kind of stirring, I feel like I am ordering my emotions or the cosmos reaches into me. When I am deep in love with someone then things change too. But sometimes I am afraid of loving someone because anyway I will loose him or her to death. But without love life becomes empty and I am dependent on it.
What do you think?
As one transfers one's self identity from the human body with its physical, emotional and mental conditioning, to that which extends beyond the physical, then the equivalent of a new birth takes place with its new self identification extending into the 'spiritual' realms.
