Each time you explore this broader perspective, you build your awareness of the deeper reality that you really live within. You appreciate that you really do reside in an infinite divine universe, of which the earth is a relatively small, but important part.
You can bring this broader perspective into each moment of your life, in order that you recognize that your particular spiritually mystical experiences are natural and meditation (read this post here) ordinary, rather than rare or strange occurrences.
Your deeper recognition of reality goes past theory. It's a deeply personal experience, and it helps you transcend ideas and books. Such books may be useful catalysts that inspire you, but only if you use the books as springboards for your own spiritual discoveries. At a specific point, you'll need to practice using your consciousness. Reading spiritual books provides you with a collection of thoughts, but spiritual awareness is a lot more than that.
This really is why you'll need to recognize, as you grow spiritually, that the books will be just partially correct in what they say -- they cannot really express deeper truths in mere words. This is only because your spiritual truth is only really validated through your own experiences with your consciousness. You might express your spiritual truth somewhat differently than the books, and that is why the books are not entirely true. This isn't to judge them, but just to recognize that your particular own spiritual experience is the real teaching.
Don't wait until you've read yet more books -- start exploring your consciousness today. These personally meaningful explorations are the ones that touch your heart, mind, and soul.
So do study, and do listen, but not within the uncritical way that many naive students do. Don't be impressed with any teaching merely since it sounds impressive, complex, or lofty. Let yourself have your own spiritual experience, and discover what you can learn through your experiences when you tune in to the universe directly.
Imagine that the divine consciousness of the universe itself is inviting you to study it. In so doing, you are studying about your own essential nature, and learning for your own self just why spiritual awareness is so meaningful.
Whether anyone understands why you are doing this is irrelevant. You are exploring your spiritual aura because it will be the mirror that reveals the deeper nature of reality, the face of God, the secrets of the cosmos, and also the meaning of life. And any other fascinating reasons that will be meaningful to you.
May each breath bring you in to the cosmic realization that you'll be a uniquely living and breathing expression of the divine. Look about you, and let yourself see that universal spark shimmering within everyone, and within everything.
