Signs You May Be A Mystic

mysticExpanded Consciousness – Here’s the definition I use for the word “mystic”: a person who claims to attain, or believes in the possibility of attaining, insight into mysteries transcending ordinary human knowledge, as by direct communication with the divine or immediate intuition in a state of spiritual ecstasy.

I understand it’s not a word everyone is familiar with. Buddhism is my path, but it’s not really correct to call it my religion. It’s a mystical path, not a religion. At least, that’s how I see it.

I realized not too long ago that I had a mystical worldview. Mystics have been present throughout human history. Mysticism pre-dates organized religion, but it’s something that has been almost lost in the modern world. Continue reading

The Way of the Mystic

mysticOwen K Waters – The way of the mystic is a fascinating path. A mystic aims to be in the world but not of the world. Instead, their focus moves back and forth between higher consciousness and the outer, material world. A mystic is always polling their inner awareness for additional information on physical events. They gather information from their inside source.

Mystics have their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. It’s a grand life that produces security, success, and fulfillment. The way of the mystic is one where unity with the divine essence takes precedence, so harmony reigns in their lives. The divine essence is everywhere, within and without. You only have to pay attention to its existence in order to stay attuned to it.

People sometimes have difficulty understanding Eastern ideas like, “The Tao is everywhere and yet nowhere.” The Tao, which is another name for the Absolute, the Godhead or Infinite Being, is the original awareness behind all things. It is said to be ‘nowhere’ because it existed before space and time were even created. After the Creation, it became everywhere in space because all things are creations within the mind of the Creator. Continue reading

Quantum Entanglement

ManKeyholeQuantumEntanglementBrendan D. Murphy – While pre-quantum/Newtonian physics is typically a good approximation for objects much larger than molecules, we know that this worldview is fatally flawed.

To illustrate the point, where initially it was supposed that nonlocal entanglement could not be evinced by anything other than quanta in specially controlled circumstances, we now know it is a fundamental aspect of reality. The entanglement of holmium atoms in a tiny chip of magnetic salt has been unexpectedly observed in the laboratory, showing that “big” things like atoms, and not just photons and electrons (individual quanta), can be entangled.[i] More recently (2011), it was announced by a group of physicists that two diamonds approximately 3 mm in size and separated by about 6 inches were successfully entangled at room temperature.[ii]

Previously, it was believed that once things got to the level of atoms and molecules, the universe started acting strictly deterministically again, according to predictable Newtonian laws. This is no longer a scientifically viable view. A review of developments on entanglement research in March 2004 by New Scientist writer Michael Brooks concluded that “Physicists now believe that entanglement between particles exists everywhere, all the time.”[iii]

Widescale or “nonspecific entanglement” has been experimentally validated in many ways. For example, around 1956 Pavel Naumov conducted animal biocommunication studies between a submerged Soviet Navy submarine and a shore research station. These tests involved a mother rabbit and her newborn litter. According to Naumov, scientists put the baby rabbits on board the submarine, but kept the mother rabbit in a laboratory on shore where they implanted electrodes in her brain. When the submarine was submerged, assistants killed the babies one by one. At each precise moment of death, the mother’s brain produced detectable and recordable reactions.[iv] Many examples can be found in Soviet literature dealing with dogs, bears, birds, insects, and fish in conjunction with basic psychotronic (psi) research. The Pavlov Institute in Moscow may have been involved in animal telepathy until 1970.[v] Researchers such as David Wilcock and Richard Hoagland posit that these nonlocal interactions are facilitated by the hyperdimensional torsion/spin waves of the unified field/aether (or gravity, as Wilcock emphasizes in The Source Field Investigations) we are all immersed in. We will look further at torsion and nonlocality between sentient beings soon. Continue reading
