Good point Spooky
You can't quantifiably tell what level of Love or Energy you are. In business they say you can only change what you can measure in numbers. Well in the spiritual work it's more like watching a kettle boil, in that something is happening but you don't know it till you see the steam.
I believe we go thru phases (like the day, moon, seasons...) and are evolving all the time in a one step back, two steps forward fashion. What felt like massive energy/accomplishment yesterday is not noticed or felt the next, but we should trust we are growing, like the trees. Nature's way of keeping balance, but damn my impatience.
As for PUL, Doc M, a few times in mediation, I have taken off, literally like a rocket. I'm guessing I've phased into the astral, and my Love intention has connected with a particualar Source. It's like going up in a superfast lift. The feeling/sensation of expanding Joy lasted 30 secs or so and then I returned to 'normal'. Not sure what to make of it, but PUL works.
Still, that's the mountain top view. I agree with Spooky, in that in heaven, they'll remember the time I made a cup of tea for someone, and not care necessarily about my big accomplishments. Which is really nice, as it means everyday we are successful at feeding LOVE. Still, my ego has needs and likes to be doing things, and being a part of the action. Ah, the human condition!!!
I like the quote that the smallest act of kindness is greater that the most beautiful and grand idea in the mind.
Love
