Some Musings Of A Religious Mystic

The Book is a collection of scholarly papers submitted at the International Conference Mysticism without Bounds exploring the mystical consciousness from different disciplines. Let these scholarly and challenging papers from different religious experiences (Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Sufism, Taoism, etc) create an awareness among the inquisitive readers of the need of overcoming the bounds of individuation and discovering the unity of self.

Mystic’s Musings is a compilation of extracts from Sadhguru’s discourses and talks. An intriguing look into the truth that lies at the core of existence, this book provokes readers to delve into spaces that are not for the faint-hearted, yet deftly guides us with answers about reality that transcend our fears, angers, hopes, and struggles. Sadhguru keeps us teetering on the edge of logic and captivates us with his answers to questions relating to life, death, rebirth, suffering, karma, and the journey of the Self.

From the Preface to I'm Faithful, But I'm Not Religious: "Some of my opinions have some basis. Most are my opinions just because they are my opinions, and I'm not particularly concerned with whether or not they have any basis." that having been said, Ed Sinclair offers opinions on just about anything and everything. For example: "Doing silly things only becomes problematic when doing so ceases to be a tribute to a good memory and, instead, becomes religiously institutionalized, routinized, regulated. I've said it before, and I'll say it again-religion has no place among the spiritually faithful. At least, that's my opinion."

Britain has not been successfully invaded since 1066; nor, in nearly 1,000 years has it known a true revolution – one that brings radical, systemic and enduring change. The contrast with Britain’s European neighbours, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Russia, is dramatic – all have been convulsed by external warfare, revolution and civil war and experienced fundamental change to their ruling elites or social and economic structures. Frank McLynn takes seven occasions when Britain came closest to revolution: the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381; the Jack Cade rebellion of 1450; the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536; the English Civil Wars of the 1640s; the Jacobite Rising of 1745-6; the Chartist Movement of 1838-48; and the General Strike of 1926. Why, at these dramatic turning points, did history finally fail to turn? McLynn examines Britain’s history and themes of social, religious and political change to explain why social turbulence stopped short of revolution on so many occasions.

Here is a chapbook that contains the Mystical Musings of a modern mystic. I have found my way to Love/Wisdom through binaural beats, plant medicines, meditation, Christian College where I got my Bachelors Degree in Bible/Philosophy, living in a Charismatic house church and holding "free healing" signs at the boardwalk where we lay on hands, travelling in a school bus to Costa Rica, ministering in the garbage dumps in the Phillipines, dancing at Electric Forest, being married twice, skating parking garages all night in San Diego, reading (and experiencing) A Course of Love, A Course in Miracles, Conversations with God, The Way of Mastery, etc. all of in which I could taste the words of divine flow down my spine, and more recently just by being (still defining every day what that means). I have put together some of my poems here with an intergalactic portal at the end. So if your into feeling happy, while exploring the angst of losing your religion these are some reflections of being there in the corner. In the spot light. Oh no I said too much. I set it up. I am hoping to create a community of sharing in which we collectively can share our insights on what life is. God. Love. That we can discuss our experience of God and help each other through the pain that we have inherited that we can together see this world with fresh eyes and hold each other's hand, allowing the race from death to become the valley of flowers in which we are holding hands. Let's get gay, let go of preconceptions and behold the light in each other's eye. I am hoping to put out another book with all my poetry after this, and then a book with all my wild stories going through the battle field with a steady platform where I see there never was war and the shadow's are feared become angels of light. My long term goal from this sharing is for the world to be touched by a light that has never changed by time and that this love would put a house over every orphan, heal all sickness, and reveal to each heart the perfect love that lives within. There will be a necessary unveiling, yet how exciting to undress from limiting beliefs to come into an experience of unconditional love. I'm in, and I know so many others are too. I can't love alone. That's ridiculous. I need you. Let's do this. Let's form a love community where we express our Self in whatever form feels appropriate to the individual. Let's feed the hungry all the while remembering "you who desire to do much good in this world, realize only you can be accomplished."
