    There is no such word as "ineffible". I believe whoever put this together meant "ineffable" which means too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.

    There is a problem brought about by being Religious Mystic . That being the need by the Mystic to include it's religious teaching in with it's learnings from their mystic side. Because of that inclusion , the teachings are never true mystical teachings. I am an 80 year old Born Mystic, I know what I am speaking of .

  • @ISATŌP1

    A Mystic is a Mystic, and not associated with any belief outside of ONLY GOD IS.... Man has placed him into religious belief because he can not discern the things of Spirit. If I May.... The letters of the Bible, also known as Divine Thought, is about the Return to Illumination, the Return to Spirit, the Return to the Father's House, written by Mystics through the Overcoming of a belief in Mortality, and the Receptivity to Spiritual Immortality. It can NOT be understood through the human intellect. It can only be Spiritually Discerned, and this must be Developed Only through the dropping of mortal beliefs, and meditating/dwelling in the Secret Place of the Most High, which is Divine Consciousness(also known as the Christ Infinite and the Son of Man). God IS the Only Presence! The bible is not the story of a Being outside of us sitting in judgement, giving and withholding, or sending a super-being called Jesus to die for our sins while we live in a world of illness, hatred, bigotries, diseases, death, etc. It is about the Christ in All being allowed to Flow Freely without interference from mortal beliefs and thoughts. It's about I and the Father being One through the dropping away of a belief in mortality.(He who seeks to keep his mortal life shall lose it.....!!) If you are not a Mystic(the Awareneness that Only God is, which is Christ Realization)you are not following the Teaching of Christ Infinite Within, you are worshipping graven images, starting with what you believe to be your mind and body. A preacher of the church or bible looks out into the False appearance of a mortal world he believes God created and then judges it because he is ignorant of his own Truth of Being, thereby denying the Omnipresence of the Infinite, Perfect Spirit of God.... A Mystic knows the Infinite, Perfect Spirit of God is the Only Presence, the Only Life. Therefore, he knows where everything Mortal and Finite Appears to be, only the Infinite, Perfect, Omnipresent Life of God is. He knows that when he is not attuned to Divine Consciousness(Eternal Life, Immortality, Truth, God), by default, he is attuned to Mortal Consciousness(karmic death, mortality, form, fear, judgment, evil, etc). He knows that every communication Unfolding from God within is to encourage the Spirit/Soul die to the False Sense of Mortal Self, as the Purpose of the Soul is to take Dominion over the only Adversary, the World Mind and it's thoughts tempting him to believe mortality/form/decay is reality. He knows Divine Love can not express itself through a Material Consciousness. He knows he that Realizes he is the Son of God has Eternal Life. He then walks through the world of mortal appearances a Divine Being in who the 5 Senses of Mortality have been Impersonalized, and therefore hold no power over him. His fidelity is to the Immortal Spirit he is, and no longer to the mortal sense of life, not of God. He knows the RESURRECTION takes place when he drops the belief and reliance upon the False Appearances of the World Mind of Mortality through the Acceptance and Realization of God/Spirit being the only Infinite, Perfect, Omnipresent Being, thereby knowing his true self to be the Infinite, Perfect, Omnipresent Spirit of God. He knows he Must OVERCOME the Belief he is not Immortal, Divine Being. To the Degree in which we can walk through the false world of mortality and not be disturbed by it is the Path of the Christ(Immortal Spirit)Realized Mystic!

I feel such relief that my experiences and divine connection are actually a 'thing' and hope I finally found my tribe. Mystic...never heard of it before, but that's it! Thank you for enlightening me. I don't feel so alone in this journey now and look forward to more understanding.

    Great example of a “A Gardner in a War.” If you can’t explain it, you didn’t do it. And if you didn’t do it and can’t explain it and have other also do it. It’s useless. Start by making your electromagnetic watery spirit body you’ll need to travel the other realms by “rest and repose” (moving without moving.)

    Contemplative Prayer begin with monastic monks experimenting with prayer practices they observed Buddhist and Hindus doing. Therefore, contemplative prayer is a pagan prayer practice. When one does what pagans do then one gets what pagans get. Pagans worship demons. 1 Timothy 4:1 is to be applied to Contemplative Prayer for it is the doctrine of demons. Anyone who is a Holy Spirit filled believer will be corrected and rescued from engaging in Contemplative Prayer. Anyone who defends it is spiritual deceived and undiscerning. Pray for Hebrews 5:14. -Blessings from Tajji in Tanzania

    Can a mystic be a Christian. Can a Christian be a mystic. This is a classic example of Mathew15/14. The blind leading the blind into the pit. Beyond logic, rational thinking and scholarship into the realm of EXPERIENCE is mysticism. Kindly Google Papal bull 1492,1493, 1452,1453. CONQUER, CONVERT and ENSLAVE. Could Christianity issue such a command and claim the right to talk about mysticism. And what about the inquisition. Roman, Portuguese, Spanish . Christianity is a cult involved in world domination on behalf of vested interests. Mysticism in Christianity is discussed to lend some authentication to the discredited church.

    I believe in the divine, because of an experience I had, not that I understand it all, but I know that there is a heavenly presence amongst us. The problem is that I have not cultivated this experience, so I live day to day like everyone else. But I enjoy life and wait for slipping into the unknown. I think St. John of the Cross is a great example. He gives an account of darkness making us acutely aware of the smallest light.

    At some stage, God may send you a new name. Then suddenly people start calling you with that uncalled name! If you correct them they apologise and say they thought your name was that! Then over the years, you think let me search this name that people started call me with every now and then. Then you discover it’s what God said you need to accomplish in your journey. It’s like God compels people to remind you of who you are, in essence, and/or your potential.

    I have sever PTSD about all those that call themselves Christians or Catholics. I was raised Catholic, and beaten by racist, violent, catholic Nuns and Priests. I know there is a GOD!! There has to be something GREATER THAN ME. I don’t want to hear there is a difference between God and Jesus. I don’t want to hear that your interpretation is the only way for me to believe! I don’t want to hear that there is only one way to kneel to God. My God has no face, no body, only PURE LIGHT. I love listening to those that invite me to open my heart and mind to SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. I seek what we as humans are supposed to be and practice….. TO LOVE. TO SEE EACH OTHER AS A MIRROR OF ONES SELF REFLECTION. TO BE COMPASSIONATE . TO BE KIND. This is what OUR CREATOR, OUR HIGHER SELF, OUR DIVINE LIGHT, WANTS US TO BE. WE AS HUMANS MUST BEHAVE AS IF ALL OUR RAGE AND HATRED OF OTHERS, WILL HURT AND DESTROY OUR SOULS!
