Magic, Mystery, & Mysticism
What is real? How many times have you seen an illusionist, someone like Criss Angel
walk on water or make people disappear right before your very own eyes and ask, how’d he do that? Did he really pull a rabbit out of a hat? Are those real doves? Do we dare enter into the the land of magic, mystery, or mysticism. Isn’t it safer to stay grounded in ones intellect?
The answers are YES and NO!
Yes, we need to enter into the only true reality of life which is the invisible world. And no we should not rely upon our intellect, power and might. Don’t foresake knowledge, but neither put it on the stage to be worshipped. Don’t bow down to anything but the Spirit of God which can only be known by spirit.
There are really only two roads that we can travel: the road of the visible and the road of the invisible.
Zecharia wrote (4:6) that life cannot be run by what comes from our mind or what comes from our might. Both have their place and are critical to leading a successful life, but they are by no means at the top of the food chain. The I AM that we are holds the mystery and mysticism that awakens our life.
God and I, I and God: 2 in 1, and 1 in 2. Something akin to the trinity where 1 is 3 and 3 is 1. God is in me and I am in God, I can do nothing without Him, and I can do ALL things with Him. My identity is I AM! I AM that (put a word there), I AM. I AM LIFE, that I am. I AM LOVE, that I am. I AM HEALTH, WEalth, and WISDOM, that I am. The journey of life is the realization and awareness that it’s all about UNION! Your and my purpose to life is to close the GAP between I and He such that we are ONE as Jesus implored us to be (John 17).
There is no God OUT THERE! 🙂
Jesus came to bring the message that He was ONE with the Father and that’s our goal. We must come to the place where we have spent so much time with God-Father-Consciousness- Guide- Being that we no longer live, but HE it is that lives. Sound like Gal. 2:20?
Magic is fun. Mystery is often times scary. Mysticism is where we’re to live.
Wikipedia describes mysticism as the pursuit of achieving communion, identity with, or conscious awareness of ultimate reality, the Other, divinity, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, or insight. EXPERIENCE is the operative word. My doctrine, dogma, and intellectual mind formulas are a start, but a lousy place to end!
As a spiritual-futurist, I interpret current events in light of possible macro-universal forces at play leading up to 2012, but not limited to it.
