What is Mysticism?Mysticism can be defined as a direct, immediate (and unmediated) experience of the presence of God. We may be in error at including the 'unmediated' term here but we need to specifically warn against the false notion that drugs and magic potions can buy this holy state. Mystical awareness comes to us after many years of learning how to tune our spirits and souls to resonate at the level of love which is God=s Internet or radio channel for us. Once we are tuned in we experience God=s communication with us, individually, directly, immediately. The ensuing rapture is because of the awe, the immensity of the experience, which falls outside of the ambit of time. We are nurtured, improved, taught, enriched, through these age long moments. Yesu and MysticismThe Saviour our Lord is our intermediary to the Energies of God. Through mystical contact with us he teaches us, raises us up, strengthens us to be able to one day receive the Baptism of Light directly from Heaven itself. This mystical school is a most necessary prerequisite to prepare us for the Flood of Love that will fill our being and clothe us in total Light. Without the Saviour's mystical mediation surely it will be like lightning infused into our 56k modems. Yesu is our modem (with built-in inline voltage regulator) to Reality. We need the Lord. He walked the Way and he prepared himself for the Light, which he gained and now radiates to us. Without him...we would have to go the Way alone.
