Mystical Principles ...

Beyond words, beyond thoughts, beyond the thinking, rationalizing mind there exists a Mystical Realm just waiting to be discovered. It has been called the fourth dimension, a higher awareness, Cosmic Consciousness, or the Kingdom of God. In it you will find a rest, and, “The peace that passeth understanding.” But to enter, you will have to leave your petty ego outside the door. Your thoughts of worry, your thoughts of greed, your thoughts of anger cannot gain admission. You must enter in the Silence, in the stillness of your being. Let go the pain, let go the fear, let go the sorrow you have felt. Turn and look within. Empty handed you may enter.

The Mystical Realm cannot be reached by way of reason or emotions, but through surrender of the self with its endless stream of unfulfilled desires.

Should you turn and look within and find a noisy crowd of thoughts, do not struggle to force them out or try to still the active mind, for the harder you try to fight, the stronger they will become. These thoughts will only die from lack of attention. Do not fight, or try to struggle, nor strain in any way. Just relax, and let them go, and surrender all attachment. Soon these thoughts will slow and you will rest within the quiet. The Mystical Realm is very near; the door is about to open.

Some will find a peace, a serenity that envelopes them. Some will find new strength, an energy that is flowing. Some will find answers to problems that are plaguing.

Still others will feel a Presence, strangely new and yet familiar. A new awareness is dawning, a new dimension not seen before, and with their sight now turned within, some pass through the door.

The Mystical Realm, that you have entered, brings a freedom from the world. It restores, revitalizes and rejuvenates. It is, at once, a quickening of Spirit, and yet a sense of peace as well. From this new dimension springs forth joys untold and new discoveries as yet unheard. This is what the Psalmist meant when he spoke of “The secret place of the Most High.” This is the ancient “Holy of holies,” where the Hebrew priests entered but once a year.

In this inner sanctuary, in the center of your being, you will find what you have looked for in the world of your desires. Here there is no price to pay of broken hearts or shattered dreams. It is a gift that has always been yours, awaiting your recognition.

Once you have entered, you may close the door but it will never be locked. Though your attention becomes focused outside again, you may always return to the Silence within.

The Mystical Realm which you have discovered, will bring fulfillment to your soul, and new meaning to your life, as you surrender to its power. Your thinking, as time passes, will be guided by the Light that is emanating from within you. More and more you will discover that petty desires just drop away and are replaced with a sense of purpose born of understanding.

In the outer world, in situations that used to cause you fear, you will remain calm and unafraid, because you will know you are not alone. Slowly, you will be changing as this inner dimension makes you new. The “old you” simply disappears, and a “new you” comes into view........Bill Skiles
