Modern Mystics

The spiritual visionaries and religious messengers written and talked about are those that have risen above the masses in their conscious state, transcended, become enlightened, or connected with a higher plane of some kind. These great gurus sit atop the mountains of spirituality and reside in a world separate from the illusion we live in day to day. We look to them for guidance in books, lectures, videos, and retreats. But all to often the inspiration, motivation, or wisdom received has little impact and fades when we come back to our everyday life. So what to do? If these lectures and wisdoms are falling short, then how is it that we, the people, are going to rise out of the reality we believe to be a part of? We must stop pretending that the answers we need are written down to be memorized, repeated, and put into a routine. The answer is in you being you. The same answer is in those around simply being themselves.

Religion and spirituality is nothing new for the human experiencers. It has been there for the masses as a reason to live, as an unexplained faith. Consider that the reason we call it blind faith is because we don't understand why the faith is there. The great scriptures are read to us from the speaker on the mountain top. Here we sit at the bottom, the message falling on deaf ears. If the message was getting through, we would not be caught in the illusion. We would not be angry with everyone and fearful of everything. Yet here we are, working every day, cursing our bosses while we sit at home, hoping we do not lose our job.

The same can be seen with highs and lows of life. One day we are feeling successful and another we are feeling life is over, nothing can be worse. The journey of life is climbing the mountain. There is nowhere to be, nothing to achieve. There is no top to climb to and shout your wisdoms from. There is no way to get to where you want to go so you might as well stop thinking you're going to make it. Whether you are an artist, an investor, a custodian, or any way you wish to describe yourself, you are love first and foremost. You are pure love. You are the modern mystic, the one who knows the truth.

If you would like to prove this truth, you can see for yourself. You are on the Earth, living as a human being and learning each day. If you will just share what you are experiencing, good and bad, with those around you, and listen to what they share, you will already be living amongst the Jesus' and Muhammads.You need only to make it this way.
