What is a Mystic

Throughout

history there have been thousands of mystics and many mystical traditions. Mystics are people who through personal transformation, discovery and experience seek out the ultimate spiritual truth. They are not necessarily associated with a particular religion, although many are and use a particular deity or God as a focus for their meditation. Even so the mystic is on a spiritual quest, not a religious path.

The best way to define mysticism is to compare the behavioural patterns of both a mystic and a religious person.

The religious person follows his or her chosen religion according to scripture

The religious person relies on and in many cases believes the only way to connect to their God is through another person - a priest or vicar

The religious person believes in a separation from God where God exists somewhere else.

The religious person believes that heaven is a place that they can enter when they die

The religious person believes in a God that is judgmental and loves conditionally

Most non-mystical religions portray God as a patriarchal ruler

The mystic is on a spiritual path and is open to the wisdom from many traditions

The mystic knows they can connect to God themselves

The mystic knows that there is no separation between themselves and the divine conciousness and that through this source they are connected to all life and are one with God.

The mystic knows that the "Kingdom of God is within"

The mystic understands God to be a creative energy that is eternal and who's love is unconditional. Man's own spiritual journey adheres to the laws of karma and is therefore a self judgmental series of tests and experiences leading to perfection and reconnection to God

The mystic recognises the divine feminine within the universal consciousness
