Stumbling Mystic
Why mysticism? Because we feel the spiritual impulse to connect with the Sacred. What we call spirituality, our yearning, searching, finding, losing, stumbling toward, is our attempt to respond to the spiritual impulse. Growth happens slowly over time, especially spiritual growth, because it seeks to transform our fundamental way of being. The spiritual road is a long walk, and we need nourishment along the way. To help nourish and sustain us, I’ve recorded the Stumbling Mystic Podcast. In these conversations with ten thoughtful, dynamic spiritual seekers, we discover ideas and insights that fuel our journey. Over the course of seven episodes, we delve into these questions: 1) The Spiritual Impulse – what is this force that draw us to the Sacred? 2) Trauma – how do the hurts and healing of life propel our spiritual growth? 3) Traditional Religion – is there a place for a modern mystic in formal religion today? 4) Mysticism – how can I engage direct spiritual experience outside words and concepts? 5) Spiritual Practice – what works best for me to support my spiritual life? 6) A World on Fire – what is the spiritual response to a world that is chaotic and troubling? 7) Integrating Spirituality Into Daily Life – how can we live a unified life? Listen in to our conversations on the Stumbling Mystic Podcast. I hope it feeds you. I want to thank my friends and colleagues who participated in these conversations. They were generous to spend the time and share their thoughts.
