In this profound episode of Mystican Identity, we dive into The Perennial Philosophy's chapter on “The Nature of the Ground.” Join us as we journey through the mystical insights of Meister Eckhart, Ruysbroeck, Dionysius the Areopagite, and other luminaries who sought to describe the divine Ground—the timeless essence that transcends all form and distinction.

We begin with the limitations of language, exploring how words can only point toward the Ground but can never truly capture it. Moving through the wisdom of the Upanishads and the paradoxical teachings of Christian and Buddhist mystics, we examine the hierarchy of reality and the call to let go of ego to experience unity with the divine Ground.

This episode invites listeners to go beyond traditional concepts of God to a reality described as “no-thing” yet profoundly present. Through reflections on the formless, transcendent nature of the Ground, we offer a message of hope: that beneath the layers of thought and form lies an eternal presence, waiting for us to return to unity and peace.

Tune in for an exploration of divine mystery and the luminous darkness that guides us back to our source.
