Into The Mystic

A journey into the meaning and way to understand Mysticism. Mysticism is considered to be Union with God, or ultimate awakening. There have been mystics throughout the ages that sought to find the key to awakening. I include a talk and meditation on Mysticism.

Aloha,

I'm Reverend Cindy Palus and today I'm going to talk about the mystic path.

Some of you have heard of the mystical path,

Some of you have heard Van Morrison's song Into the Mystic.

The mystic is an amazing realm and it has been followed for thousands of years actually.

In all religions actually,

It's been followed by the Chinese,

The people from India,

The masters,

And many Christian mystics,

Men and women.

And there's some confusion about it,

As I can understand,

Because it's a kind of ethereal thing.

When you merge with God,

A lot of people's experiences are very different.

But I've been following the mystical path since I've been 14,

Which is doing meditations and prayers directly within to connect with your soul and God.

Now if you were going to look at the definition,

It could include,

It says here,

I think this is Wikipedia,

The experience of mystical union or direct communion with the ultimate reality reported by mystics,

Or two,

The belief that direct knowledge of God or spiritual truth or ultimate reality can be attained through subjective experience.

And there have been mystics through the ages.

Thomas Merton was a great mystic and also beyond that,

Marjorie Kemp,

And then there was Hildegard of Bingen and Joan of Arc,

And many,

Many,

Many people.

Pythagoras is considered to be a mystic,

Saint Teresa of Avila,

And Helena Blavatsky and Walt Whitman and Lao Tzu,

And so many others who have been ones who looked within.

And sometimes they followed a religious path and sometimes they went beyond the confines of religion.

And I have found great inspiration by going within and finding that insight within and finding and connecting with my soul and with God and not necessarily following the rules of one particular religion.

I wrote a few affirmations about connecting with God that I felt were important to being able to connect with God.

One is,

I am worthy of God's love for I am a child of God's light and love.

And we are all children of God's light and love.

Sometimes we forget,

Sometimes we block it,

But we all are worthy of caring and sharing that infinite light and unconditional love of creation in our heart and soul.

If we allow ourselves to put that as our top priority,

We can awaken to it.

Yogananda said,

And you'll see a sign at the Lake Shine,

Everything else can wait,

But our search for God cannot wait.

Now can we put that as our top priority?

If we can,

Just focus and not hold back,

But truly focus for a moment on that.

We may find ourselves going to an amazing place because what happens is we hold back.

We don't believe,

We don't think we're worthy.

We put our own blocks on things.

I wrote this today,

In the mystic realm of being,

Where do we choose to be?

Nowhere,

Everywhere,

Or somewhere in between.

Where does that breath of life truly come from?

And who is the one to take it away?

In the mystic realm of being,

Who can really say?

There is a depth beyond our breath.

There is a secret undefined.

How clear is the mirror to see what is hiding there behind?

The vision of a greater dimension,

The merging of spirit and form,

The whispers of eternity,

The promise of love reborn.

Hold on to inspiration.

Let go of worry and fear.

In the mystic realm of awakening,

We become what comes after that appears.

So we're going to go into the mystic realm right now.

And it's not that mysterious.

It's right there when you meditate.

It's always there.

It's always there right within you.

You don't even need to try.

You just need to relax and believe and go into that mystic realm by breathing deeply and calling upon that infinite light of God.

So find yourself a comfortable place and relax and go deep within that sanctuary within your soul.

Go to that mystic place within.

Breathe in that light there.

Breathe in with an ah.

And breathe out with a ah.

Relax and go deeper still,

Calling in that light,

Calling in that truth of who you are and let it fill your entire mind right now.

Let it fill your heart and feel that magnetic vibration in your heart being re-energized as you allow your heart to be at one with your soul.

What would your soul say to your heart?

Be quiet and listen.

What would your soul say to you right now?

Allow yourself to hear those mystical whisperings from your soul of souls.

Be still and know that you are part of God.

Be still and feel that infinite light that connects you to the one source of all.

Feel that light enlightening you right now.

Do not hold back.

Give yourself 100% right now to that complete perfection,

That mystic connection of you and who you are and the I am that I am presence.

Let that I am presence embrace you right now.

Embrace that I am presence.

Feel the love of the I am that I am that is the presence.

Go deeper and deeper into that connection,

That true connection that you have with the one presence of God within.

Go deeper still into that mystical union with God.

Connect with the Christ light,

With Buddha's enlightenment,

With all the teachers,

With Mother Mary and all the angels and guide,

Call them to you so you can be here right now 100% with who you are and realize your true destiny is the most important thing.

A being at one with this presence right now,

No holding back.

Go further and further into this light that is so full of love and feel it cleansing you and re-energizing you and restoring you and re-inspiring you and redeeming you to the truth of truths of who you are that Christ knows,

That Mother Mary knows,

That the teachers know that the Buddha experienced all the same one experience of this very moment,

This eternal moment of now is here with you right now.

Believe it.

Feel it.

Let it embrace you and be it and become it 100% in every single part of you,

In your body,

And in your mind,

And in your heart,

And your emotions,

In your soul,

All merged and aligned as one with God right now.

And make that connection so you can listen to your directions and your guidance from your higher source so that you can actually become one with that source and listen to the guidance that comes from the highest source so God is your life coach.

Ah,

And slowly we're going to come out of meditation and just let ourselves feel how we feel.

Feel it as you slowly come back 100% to your mind and your heart and your body and allow yourself now to completely be grateful for this wonderful connection that you have within to the greatest teacher of all right there,

Always waiting for you to connect with your God source,

Your life coach,

Your teacher,

The one that Christ connects with,

It's God.

You have that same gift and all the teachers have been telling you the same thing.

Go within and find that connection and know that gift is yours right now and so it is.

I'm going to close with the Aramaic Lord's Prayer.

Avun dei borshamaya,

Nitha gedah shama,

Te ite makuta,

Nuei te sevi naka kanaa de borshamaya o baraha,

Haolam lakma desu kana nyamana,

Vashvoklana bena ikanada panyin shvakinal bien,

Ula talan al nisiona,

Ala pisan men bisha,

Metal delikki,

Malkuta,

Uheila utishpakta,

La'alam aamin,

Amen.

Amama amama uanoa,

The prayer is freed.

Thank you so much for being here,

For listening,

For connecting and finding that mystic path to join you and God and merge as one.

God bless you always.
