Mystic Spirituality

Mystics Magazine: Bahai Mystical Theology - A Conversation with Bahaullah.

Moses’ encounter with God on the summit of Mount Sinai, as told in the biblical book of Exodus, contains a number of peculiarities and paradoxes. Early Christian mystics seized on these as clues to the spiritual understanding of Moses’ experiences, and as guides to the practice of contemplation. In this course, we will examine five moments in Moses’ ascent of Mount Sinai

From her beginnings through Spiritualism, and experiences with both physical and mental mediumship, theologian Rev. Alyson Dunlop Shanes describes her mystic journey. Overcoming demonic and supernatural attacks led to her becoming an exorcist and guided by God and the angels, she learned how to protect herself from further spiritual assaults. Alyson realised that categorising angels, aliens, demons, and gods, was more challenging than she had anticipated when a demonic attack was accompanied by a UFO plasma light outside her home.

Is an intimate experience of the Divine meant only for saints and mystics? Ask Tessa Bielecki, a former Carmelite nun and abbess of a monastic community, and the answer is an emphatic no. "Mystical experience is as natural to us as breathing," she explains. "It erupts spontaneously and graciously when we live on the spot and savor the real." Wild at Heart presents her call to you, the ordinary seeker, to have a loving realization of God, which is your divine birthright.

When one thinks of the Kabbalah, they often think of the 10 emanations of the tree of life. It is by far the most popular of the Kabbalistic symbols and rightfully so. It is also the one most, how shall I say, comprehensible of the Kabbalistic principles. Of course, it contains deep mysteries but if one were to attempt to describe its function, it can be done so with ease. This is the aspect of Kabbalah most people are exposed to.

Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and secular mystics all search for a deeper and personal connection with life and spirit. In this audiobook, we will look at all major paths of mysticism and see what marvelous truth and beauty is held within the heart of the mystic.

The mystical experience is an encounter with the deepest truth and ultimate reality in which there is a sense of sacredness so rich and beautiful it cannot be adequately described.

Journey back 250 years, into a long forgotten world, where nature speaks through plants, and song pours forth from cascading waterfalls as breathtakingly as a church choir sings Ave Maria. A place where the rhythm of a feathered rattle is believed to bring you closer to your creator. A world where mysticism and innate spirituality conflict with Christianity. Avá-Tapé, raised in the traditions of the Guarani Indians of South America, then Mission educated by the Jesuits, sees the truth and beauty in both worlds, but he can only live in one.

The convent in which Dina spent her nine years as a religious nun burned to the ground in 1983. Therefore, there was no room where she had lived, no infirmary where she died, and nothing physical that you could touch in the new convent and school which was built after her death. But she was there, in every room we visited, every corner we turned, in the chapel where she is buried, and most importantly, in the eyes and spirit of every sister in the community. They all reflected the spirit of their sister in Christ, the precious little Saint of Québec.

Faqir Chand (1886-1981) was one of the most remarkable Shabd yoga masters to have ever lived.
