Let's rap about what it means to be a mystic. No, we're not talking about middle earth or fairies... it's the direct experiential knowing of oneness with God beyond thought or theory. Mystic is the realization of the union, the 'religion' is the way that realization finds its form; in my case, through the Way of Christ, or, the spirituality of Jesus.

Joseph Campbell famously made popular the Hero's Journey, which is the spiritual journey. While it is more intricate that this, it can be seen in 3 phases (not always sequential, but usually): - Departure (from the known) - Initiation (in the unknown) - Return (contribution to the once known with unique experience, wisdom, and maturity gained from initiation) Each of us, if we accept it, are on a hero's journey. But many don't acce...
The shift is coming, but can you wait well? So often we rush things or become nihilistic. How can we live counter-culturally and BE in the in-between? For me, I'm often reminded of 3 points from a sermon I preached years ago. First, handle practical matters diligently and with mindfulness. Second, devote yourself to the ritual of spiritual practices. Third, commit yourself to community and getting outside of yourself through selfle...
Alan Watts appeared in a dream and gave advice from the Bible | The narrow path isn’t what you think
Alan Watts appeared to me in a dream and began to speak about a popular passage in the Bible where Jesus talks about the wide road that leads to destruction and the narrow road that leads to life. Alan encouraged me that the narrow path is supposed to be unique, unknown and insecure at times... it's a narrow path! It's not going to be familiar. The familiar path is the wide path. And that path requires you to betray your True Self,...
Many Christians use the language of being “born again” but clearly don’t embody the true essence of spiritual awakening, which is the true mystic meaning of being born again. Enlightenment comes from being born from above. Jesus understood this, religious people usually don’t. P.S. this isn't a new idea; The contemplative Christian tradition has known this for hundreds of years.

Many people in the Western world look at virtually everything from an "exoteric" perspective, meaning from a broad, surface level understanding. Much of Jesus teaching calls followers to have "ears to hear" - implying an esoteric meaning to his teaching; esoteric being under the surface, hidden, or with special knowledge. The controversial teaching in Matthew 10 of Jesus telling his followers that he did not come to bring peace but...
Someone I work with for Spiritual Direction told me they were feeling lost and asked if I ever feel lost... yeah. Of course. In this video I share something similar to what I shared with her.

In this episode I talk about the spiritual truth that there is nothing out there, no physical New Earth, no utopia, that will ever satisfy the Soul. The spiritual path, the life path, is one that leads you back within. Learning that everything is a mirror and not removing obstacles from life but transcending all obstacles. Our work is to surrender and open ourselves up to be instruments of God. If we're bound up and restlessly sear...

"Impatience is an argument with reality" as Rick Rubin said in his latest book The Creative Act, and he couldn't be more right.
Additionally, motivation is, contrary to self-development ideology, often rooted in lack and fear.
For many of us it's actually an anxious energy to try and bring about some over aggrandized version of what could be with the hope that it will resolve the seeming unhappiness of the present circumstance or s...
Death is something we will all face. The reality of impermanence (from the Buddha) is one that has the potential to awaken, if we allow. Ash Wednesday reminds us of the brevity of life and the hope for the resurrection / transformation of the Eternal Divine Spark within us all.

We have been taught (and sold) to believe that life is complicated and complex.. it's not. We're just so disconnected from who we are and what life's actually about so we're led to always think we're missing it. When you learn these 3 keys and practice them you will never miss meaning.
