Gloria:
The more sincere and serious your spiritual discipline becomes, the more
direct experience will also become a part of your life. The first
commandment is really about putting God first in your life, from the
heart mind and soul. Most folks don't even have God even close to first
place, and even in this they expect to have direct experience or
knowlege of God as being something more then a fantasy, but something
real. How can you come to know your higher self when the general
knowledge or focus of your creator is way down the line in terms of
awareness. So first things first, put God first in your life and stand
back and watch what happens.
