Introduction:
A Mystical Journey
        Mystical experience encompasses a consciousness
that eternally goes beyond, from one Truth to the next.
        Furthermore, mysticism can be understood in
relation to non-violence, as embracing the concept of joy, and in terms
of its practical application in face of social tension.
        There are various dimensions of mysticism; and
all dimensions ultimately converge at a point that is theocentric at
heart!
        One dimension is service encompassing self-sacrifice
and self-purification that leads one to the enlightenment of direct
mystical experience.
        To live one's life based on simplicity, non-violence,
and Truth is the practical, day to day application of mystical vision.
        Everyone has the potential and ability to live
the mystical life! With this in mind, mysticism may be termed spirituality
in action.
        Moreover, mysticism is synonymous with spiritual
power or Gnostic energy.
        Such spiritual power is simultaneously all pervasive
and immanent in our entire existence past, present and future.
        Transcend the ego and awaken to the wonders
of mystical experience.
        Mysticism is the essence of the human soul,
and suggests a return to the roots of our consciousness. Thereby mystical
experience enhances one's capacity for higher feeling.
        By means of Love (not hatred) one abides in
the power to see inwardly and in fullness. Esoterically, the mystic
melts into Love, and Love melts into the mystic!
        At a practical level, mysticism approaches life
in terms of non-violence; action based on the decision to never harm
deliberately.
        Another practical dimension of mysticism is
that materialism can be transformed in the vision of spiritual harmony.
        With non-violence the spirit can transform matter
by means of the Soul-force generated. Essentially mysticism aims at
a philosophy and practice based on non-violent action.
        Furthermore, mystical experience takes one on
an inward journey into one's own consciousness. This inner journey enables
one to become more fully self-aware.
        What is remarkable in mysticism is the flowering
of the pursuit of the benevolence of humankind, as a means toward enhancement
of mystic fulfilment. One begins the journey inwardly by the process
of inward vision.
        However, one continues the journey through the
observance of outward activities based on non-violence, simplicity and
Truth.
        Always affirm goodness to all living beings.
Non-violence is the means to embrace the mystical vision of Truth, peace
and Love.
The modern social pattern of utilitarianism necessitates a mystical,
joyous breakthrough! Much of the modern world is devoid of mutual co-operation,
cohesion and sincere, compassionate feeling for one and all.
        Mystical experience heightens one's capacity
for Love. Love is the remedy for all suffering of distressed humanity.
        Discover the mystical concept of joy that reflects
the conscious awareness of brilliant radiance Divine!
        Mystically embrace all creation as the eternal
life-stream of joy. Free the Self to live the mystical life with true
devotion and a pure heart! This book about exploring mysticism and appreciating
its relevance in our lives.

ETERNAL PLAYMATE
Dissolved into ecstasies
Overwhelmed with Divine emotions
Teasing and playing
Self-forgetful
A spontaneous transcendence emerges
Our eyes sparkling
With inner joy
The essence of Love
Enfolds us
And so loveliness blossoms
Anew in Your presence
Within one another
The nectar of Love
Overflows
I am tempted
To taste it eternally
My only desire
Is to be ever in your embrace
ONE
I delight
In the service
Of your
Every desire
Raise me in
Your arms
Hold me
Close to your
Heart
I was crying
In the dark
And now
With you
Joy is overflowing
You are my all,
I have found
In you
My every need
You are the
Fulfilment
Of my heart's
Desire, I surrender
My self to you
In your embrace
I forget all else, as
A shimmering
Of auspicious colour
Enfolds my body and soul
With an aura
Of loveliness we
Two are one,
Enlightened in love
Every aspect of
My being is sweetened
With the honey
Of your charms
I revel and dance
In the measureless
Expression
Of our shared affection
You are my heaven
The destiny of my soul,
In my adoration of you
a pure golden flame
Of divine brilliance
pushes forth
My only fear now
Is lest
In some way
I may fail
To please you
And yet somehow
I know well
That even then
Our love would be
Changeless and infinite, I trust that
Never again can
We lose one another
I rejoice that
Through grace and kindness
We have found ourselves
As soul mates, now
And for eternity
My heart is simply
Saturated with love
I can no longer
Even for a second
Think of anything
But you,
My Beloved
FLAME
The all-embracing grasp,
Our soulful love…
One…
Manifest power, circulating energy
Conjoint souls are we,
Entwined in Divine play of
Amorousness, I adore you…
Enamoured by the very memory
Of your touch, Longing for the fullness of you,
Quiescence enfolds
The spheres of my being, yet a teardrop falls
And yet I am set ablaze, I wait for you,
To be both one and the other
Renewal…
Light my heart
With your flame
Angel-star
Whisper softly, let my heart take wing
Play our love game again and again
Ecstasy…
SACRED LOTUS
Convergence
Human and Divine
Dialectics of desire
Heart within
The heart
Co-creativity
Essence of the
Infinite centre
Mystery of the
Timeless moment
When the sacred lotus blooms
To fullness
Each petal
Reflects the golden
Luminescence
And so
To union Divine
By means of a spiritual walk
Along a pathway of peace,
…Non-violence…
Truth of being, Life-stream
Converges as
Compassion
Gracefully awakens
The inner voice
And the integral response, the revelation
Of rapture
Heart, mind, body, spirit, and
Soulful life-purpose
At last guides one to
Enlightenment
Sacred lotus
Even as a seed
You are beautiful
In potentiality
Sacred lotus
Even in the earthbound darkness
You sprout life anew
And as a tiny bud
You are so very precious
To the entire cosmos
And even more precious
To me
Sacred lotus
In full bloom
You are my inspiration,
Fragrance of flower,
Adorned with
The waters chinquapin
Sacred lotus
Your life purpose
Adrift, liminal
In the threshold
Between muddy earthen depths
And ethereal starlit skies
Sacred lotus
Free and elegant, afloat
On the waters of life…
And as a celestial navigator
You are my guide
To true home,
As we journey together
From emergence toward original
Convergence
INTO LOVE EVERLASTING
Upon this sleepy healing planet
The children of the One awaken
Responding to light
And love of all
Seeing
For the first time
The many realities,
A tapestry of synchronicity…
Uncovering answers
It is now the "time"
That has been so deemed
By the One
Shadows dissolve in the light
Of Truth
Stirrings of memories, visions…
Cascades of
Words, overflowing,
Like cosmic wisdom
Throughout the universes of
Simultaneous experience, joyously
The enlightened children
Ascend in spiritual progression
Afforded insight
And knowing
On different realms of spiritual existence
To focus on this awareness
Of the sacred moment
While still in their bodies
Of flesh and blood
Not in the future
As a vision
Or in the past
As a memory
But in the now
In a moment
When the NOW is
Precise with
Higher knowing, incorporated
Wondrously in an ascension progression…
The enlightened children
Have received, and set into motion
Their needed energy
On a holistic scale
Involving all brothers and sisters,
Now is the "time"
To deliver what is needed
To assist in lucid perception
Of light all around
Why endure such earthly "sufferings"
From isolation, disease, hatred, war,
To avarice, jealousy, poverty, pain,
Climactic upheavals and ignorance?
In our pure love for the Divine Eternal One
We yearned for the closest
Bond that has been set
Into motion in existence
The Eternal One
Has dreamed creatively…
"To experience separation
To know complete union"
With the agreement that
We would return
Each one has made
The promise
To return
To the Eternal One
This earthly existence
In the flesh
Is to experience Total Oneness
With the promise to
Return home
To the Divine Eternal One
To return "Home"
When the body
No longer functions
On this planet.
All who come here
Have made this promise,
There is a Divine space
Where all creation began
Where all come into
Completed form
As a perfect thought
Once set into motion
The many universes
Came into being
Simultaneously
As did each one of us,
With identity and life purpose
One devotion
Multifaceted and perfect
Each with a personal concept
And instant knowing of where to fit in, The first "choice"
Truly a yearning of the spirit
An individualized life purpose
A desire for oneness
Completion of oneself
Healers, planners, builders,
Poets, teachers, prophets,
Artists, musicians and
Soul mates
Why have I not remembered?
Since the spiritual
Is overshadowed simply
By the condition
Of this three dimensional world
True Self
Begins the task
Of bringing forth
The remembering of
Our knowing
…Your identity…
…Your choice of devotion…
Since all time
Is simultaneous
Look in
While asleep and
Spiritually awaken
The enlightened children can "see"
Even when awake,
Remember the specifics
Of your individual mission
And of your unified mission
Each one
With conscious
Understanding
Of how to use those
Skills on earth
Call on intuition
Keep focused in the light
And on the Divine Eternal One
The loving purpose
Will move us forward
Re-ascend
Relinquish the magnetic pull
To the physical experience
And it shall begin
There is no need to be overwhelmed
For there is more help
Now than ever
Just ask
And it shall be there,
Such a great adventure
Into everlasting
Love everlasting
MORE THAN A MOMENT'S RAPTURE
His charm
Would have depth, mystery
Inspiration for me
In the moments following
His voice
More than an instant of
Rapture
His essence
Obscure, numinous
As if a decree from the Divine
His presiding power, his spirit
At play with my soul
Was luminescence,
Lightning,
The thunder of Jupiter
His closeness
As the distance between us
Was set free
Enabled me to glimpse
The eternal that was hidden
Behind the surfaces of the temporal
The essence of enchantment,
More than a moment's rapture
When I suddenly realized
That the spirit of his voice
Whispered
To the soul of my heart,
The dialectic of the sacred
Was Revealing and hiding, mystical…
Therein was the truth
CREATIVE SPIRITUALITY
Creation
Verging on the Mystical
Existence loved for its own sake
Being…Being…Being…
The glory of Existence
Creative spirituality happening
Doing…Doing…Doing…
A certain Divinity exists in
Everything in Everyone
In all that is
All that flows
From the Divine Source
Creative Energy
A light that shines in the dark
A light that darkness cannot overpower
The True Light
That Enlightens One and all
Active
Imaginative
Playful,
Ever Flowing
Unfolding, the Divine Creation is as ongoing
As we are in the innermost realms of the Soul
Full of Grace
Of Truth
Of creative spirituality,
And ecstatic with heaven
That is set ablaze within,
Becomes manifest as mystical experience
as creativity
That reveals magnificent treasures
Beyond our imaginings
