Crises: The Face of God

/ jcr416

We are, inevitably, called to confront

the great catastrophes in life.

The mystical challenge is to be

so radically present

that we sense God as the crisis itself,  

breaking the fear-strictures of the heart,

allowing the awesome power

of divine transformation to be God

changing us into God.

The mystic surrenders the ego’s agenda

and the inner divine moves to the fore

showing the way

into the sacred dream.

Spiritual Perception

/ jcr416

 Psychics, mediums, and mystics view

imagination as the royal road to

the transcendent realm.

We receive images of departed loved ones

in dreams. When we picture their new activities

these images are a form of spiritual perception.

We can also converse with those beyond the veil,

catch up and share our lives.

Modernity’s resistance to relationships

with the departed is tragic.

We’re missing loving connection.

Keep the lines open.

Our work as mystics is to bring

Heaven and Earth together.

The first step is reaching out.

Seeing Eden

/ jcr416

1.
Thought cloaks mystical consciousness
with identity, time, and story.
We see only what we think.
Ceasing thought reveals
a naked emperor,
until even the emperor disappears.

2.
Naked awareness is mystical consciousness.
Without thought, we don’t know
who we are,
where we are,
or what the world is.
Yet that is the threshold.

3.
In mystical consciousness, we discover
the enchanted land we left in early childhood,
woven of mystery, magic, and myth.
Talking animals,
welcoming trees,
singing streams,
great mountains,
and divinity itself
respond to our presence.

4.
And here’s the point:
only mystery will restore the divine world.
What we think we know
is the emperor’s next illusion
cloaking Eden.
