Life as a mystic for me is a gift and a challenge both. It is a journey of awakening to who I truly am, loving myself and developing my personal relationship to God, Goddess. Moment to moment unfolding the truth from within is part of the process.

Sometimes it flows and I feel ecstatic as I surrender to Source. Other times my head throbs, my stomach chu
s when my thoughts conflict with the inner voice. "I chose this life as a mystic? Why?" There is no outer teacher to show the way, only the journey ever deeper within to excavate the truth. Ah, then peace again, feeling the warmth of connecting to the universe.

Life as a mystic gets easier with experience and the support of other mystic sisters and brothers. When in doubt I have a myriad of life experiences to tap into to remind me of the truth. My mystic buddies are always there to cheer me on like the last stretch of a 10k race when the body aches and the mind resists. Then the words, "keep going."

Intuition

Intuition is a big deal to me as a mystic. It's how I communicate with spirit or I should say, how spirit communes with me. Quiet solitude helps and the discipline to give myself that time daily is important. It means putting the outer world on hold in order to develop the inner rich life of the Divine.

The questions I have are answered through my intuition. Just enough guidance is given in the moment. Letting go and having faith allows me to follow the inner voice's message to the next step in the unknown. This is how you develop your psychic abilities and honor your spirit.

Meditation

Meditation on a regular basis is an important key in nurturing my relationship to Goddess. In the silence I meet my higher self. The chatter of the thoughts fall away with each breath and the spaces between breaths.

An open door, a sanctuary where peace lives and breathes in me is unearthed through meditation. Embracing the oneness I am fulfilled as all my needs are met by spirit.

In the Moment

In the moment is the only place to be really. The past is over and there is no future. All that exists is the now moment.

Practice being in the moment. Stand at the doorway of your mind and catch your thoughts when they go to the past or future. Breathe and bring your focus back to present time.

Blessings, grace and guidance are given to us by God in the moment. We need to be present, aware, alive to the moment in order to receive these gifts of our birthright from the universe.

To answer your question, let’s study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: “This puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless
