“Spiritual Bonding with Another”

The deepest of all relationships that one can have with another person is spiritual. The coming together and bonding of two souls far exceeds the merger of minds and bodies. What is exchanged on a spiritual level can form a bond that can be eternal.

In fact, it may be that some people you have met in this lifetime, with whom you have felt a deep spiritual rapport, are souls with whom you spiritually bonded in previous lives. If such bonding can exist from one lifetime to another, it certainly underscores how very powerful a spiritual bond can be. Such spiritual bonds can be experienced between immediate family members, close friends, a spiritual student and teacher, and, most decisively, between a man and woman as lovers or spouses.

“Extrasensory Contact with God”

The knowing and experiencing of God’s Presence is the greatest of all human experiences, as well as the most profound knowledge a person may possess. Down through recorded history, people have claimed to have experienced God’s Presence. Mystics through the centuries have had visions, which they say have either given them the fullness of God’s Presence experienced, or at least such inspired visionary glimpses of the divine as to suggest that the sum total of glimpses is the Presence of God. Experience of this kind is extrasensory in nature.

In an ordinary state of mind, the mind is only conscious of the outer five sense perceptions. The outer senses do not reveal God, except perhaps to a person who is witnessing beauty within nature, such as a glorious sunset or a beautiful flower, and associates the perceived beauty as having its source from God. To truly experience God, therefore, must be of an extrasensory nature.

“Souls of Beauty Dwelling Amongst Us”

Idealists dream of a perfect world—a world of peace and harmony, where all reflects the beauty of Divine life. Can such a world of beauty be contemplated as a possibility? Mystical awareness knows that what may seem to be idealistic wanderings of the imagination might be glimpses into a Higher Reality.

Anything of a true Higher Reality brings one’s mind closer to Universal Consciousness or God. There are many levels of Beingness and souls that correspond to each level, and the Christ Mind that was in Jesus alluded to this Mystical Reality of Beingness in the words, “In my Father’s house are many mansions.” At each higher level souls draw nearer and nearer to the Universal Creative Presence or God.

“How a Mystic Succeeds”

A true mystic lives in two different worlds simultaneously—the outer physical world, and an inner spiritual world occupied by the Presence of God. A mystic is a person who spends his or her life in pursuit of God’s Presence and Absolute Truth, which is one and the same as God’s Presence. Down through the ages, the primary method used to find God’s Presence has been meditation.

Once a mystic has either come close to, or actually experienced God’s Presence, there arises a different approach to success, and often a redefining of what success is. Success can encompass much more in its definition than merely physical or worldly success. A true mystic sees success as also including spiritual awakening, awareness, and enlightenment in one’s life.

“Discovering Your Life’s Purpose”

Knowing your soul’s purpose is the most important key to living a happy life. Without knowing your soul’s life purpose there is no meaning to one’s life. Without meaning in your life, there can be no lasting happiness. It is knowing, and then living your soul’s life purpose that gives your life meaning, and through meaning, happiness.

A person who does not know what their soul’s life purpose is may drift aimlessly through life—drifting from one job to another or from one lifestyle to another. Quite likely, most of the vices and escapisms that people pursue arise from an inability to know what their soul’s life purpose is. Lacking such knowledge, a person may seek to escape a great void of emptiness within themselves by becoming addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or neurotic relationships. Life without meaning and purpose is life without a sense of hope, inspiration, or happiness.

“Your Extrasensory Meditation Power”

A daily practice of meditation can give one an extrasensory edge in life. Without meditation, the human mind is left with only the intellect to guide its way. Whatever one has experienced or learned comprises the intellect, which must then make decisions in life, from minor to major. The sum total of such decisions reflects the entirety of one’s life.

Down through the ages, the truly wise, who have explored the heights and depths of the human mind, have agreed that there is far more to the human mind than the intellect alone. Those who are creative can particularly attest to this, as so much of the creativity they have expressed has come from a source beyond the capacity of their intellect. Similarly, many entrepreneurs, whose ideas are far beyond their capabilities, agree that their commercially applied creativity came from a part of their mind that was outside their intellect.

“Mystical Prayer”

Prayer can and does work, particularly if it is mystical prayer. The world is filled with a wide variety of ways to pray. Each has its own effectiveness or lack of it. The reason any particular form of prayer is effective has not to do so much with the technique or manner of prayer, as with the person praying.

This is the secret of effective prayer; the critical factor is not primarily in the prayer itself, but in the person praying. Whatever state of mind or consciousness a person is in spiritually has far more to do with whether a prayer will be successful than the particular prayer or brand of theology from which the prayer originated.
