That which a mystic cannot see or does not see before his eyes he sees
in space; and therefore if a thousand people say, 'This does not exist',
yet for the mystic it does exist. While they depend on the objective
world one day to produce their thought in a material form, the mystic
sees it already in space. Naturally his faith becomes more firm and
powerful, whereas the faith of those who depend upon the objective world
becomes weaker every time their wish does not come true. When a person
says of something that it is not there, the mystic says, 'It is there,
it is before me, I see it.' But because the other cannot see it he is
confused; thus the same idea that confuses the one confirms other in his
faith.
This is how the mystic builds steps to climb to his final destination,
which is the real meaning of resurrection. Whereas the man that has not
made any steps, no sooner loses touch with the objective world than he
is lost in space. The mystic finds steps already made in space to help
him on his climb upward, but the other finds himself lost when once the
garb of the objective world is discarded. Then the soul feels no ground
under its feet, while the mystic has already attained his goal.
May this help the seekers in finding
and threading the path which leads upwards
to luminous realms, and the treasure
of the Internal Peace...
---S.W.P.
