However, my own experience certainly has been facilitated by my intensive research and study of many topics over the last twelve years, including science, philosophy, spiritual works, metaphysics, etc. In fact, it was the experience of changing from my earlier "intellectual belief" to an "experiential knowing" that was so dramatic. One of my favorite activities is rereading this same material and experiencing its now-apparent, deeper wisdom compared to the intellectual understanding I had previously gleaned.
So I have been working on a collection of metaphors pointing to the same experience - and love to see how others describe it. Thank you again!

I've noticed a pattern of individuals reporting they have sense of "importance," some analogies like being "Neo in the Matrix." Or the term you used, Icekold, "powerful being."
Does everyone feel like they are "the one"? If so, we've got a problem. That's great we're sent here to help, and many of us will be working together for a greater good, but what if too many ego's get inflated? Then what? I hope no one competes to be "the most powerful."

If more people, irregardless of their intellectual learning, background and habits, were as committed to finding and -- more importantly-- living their own truth as you share you are, I believe the world would be a in a much better state than we currently find ourselves in.
