' A Fundamental Mistake '...

' Becoming our Life '...
Nothing touches the soul but leaves its impress, and thus, little by little, we are fashioned into the image of all we have seen and heard, known and meditated; and if we learn to live with all that is fairest and purest and best , the love of it all will in the end become our life.

' Creating Character '...
A good character is something you must make for yourself. It cannot be inherited from parents. It cannot be created by having extraordinary advantages.

' The Mystical and Shamanic Paths '...
The mystical path is an internal journey of contemplation and surrender. It moves toward a level of consciousness where physical experience is subsumed in a much larger reality.
.....................................
Mysticism seeks to disengage from the burdens of physical existence and the limitations of emotion, hunger, mental striving, and the ego in order to move toward the beauty and love of God, the Divine, Source, or Universal Awareness. In Buddhism the goal is to be free from samsara, the wheel of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth, to reach a state of nirvana; in Christian mysticism it is to attain union with the Divine.
...............................
In my explorations of mysticism I practiced no-thought meditation as well as more intentional experiences such as mindfulness meditation and loving-kindness meditation. I resonated strongly with the yearning for the Divine in the stories and poetry of both male and female mystics in both Christian and Eastern traditions.[1]
...............................
Mystical poetry, Christian and Eastern, contains a theme of yearning for what is known (language is so very limited!) as The Beloved. This term is wonderfully evocative, and remarkable because it is almost completely absent from Christian dogma.
...................................
On the other pathway, the term “shamanic poetry” is pretty much unknown. This illustrates well the different character and orientations of the two paths.
..................................
In “my” experience of mysticism, consciousness progressed through experience of larger and more absorbing energies and perceptions to a level where all that exists was seamlessly unified consciousness, and individual identity felt like a tiny spark that existed within that vastness only for the purpose of allowing the experience to be perceived. The feeling was of being surrounded by a universal and impersonal Love of everything for everything, including oneself. Then that too passed into the ultimate experience of being that Everything, including Source................................. Wes Gietz

' Transcendentalism '...
Transcendentalism is closely related to Unitarianism, a religious movement in Boston in the early nineteenth century. It started to develop after Unitarianism took hold at Harvard University, following the elections of Henry Ware as the Hollis Professor of Divinity in 1805 and of John Thornton Kirkland as President in 1810. Transcendentalism was not a rejection of Unitarianism; rather, it developed as an organic consequence of the Unitarian emphasis on free conscience and the value of intellectual reason. The transcendentalists were not content with the sobriety, mildness, and calm rationalism of Unitarianism. Instead, they wanted a more intense spiritual experience. Thus, transcendentalism was not born as a counter-movement to Unitarianism, but as a parallel movement to the very ideas introduced by the Unitarians.......................... from Wikipedia

' Christian Mystics '...
Christian mystics have described the stages of the return of the soul to God in a variety of ways. According to the Belgian Jesuit Joseph Maréchal, Christian mysticism includes three broadly defined stages: (1) the gradual integration of the ego under the mastery of the idea of a personal God and according to a program of prayer and asceticism, (2) a transcendent revelation of God to the soul experienced as ecstatic contact or union, frequently with a suspension of the faculties, and (3) “a kind of readjustment of the soul’s faculties” by which it regains contact with creatures “under the immediate and perceptible influence of God present and acting in the soul” (Maréchal, Studies in the Psychology of the Mystics). This final stage, which almost all of the greatest Christian mystics have insisted upon, belies the usual claim that mysticism is a selfish flight from the world and an avoidance of moral responsibility....................... from Brittanica

Nothing more exists for us. Love is not a word; it is a wordless state indicated by four letters.
