Heart of the Mystic: Contemplations of Mystical Spirituality (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781594579943)

The Heart of the Mystic is a compassionate and life-transforming glimpse of Mystical Truth described in the words of the great mystics, the God-Realized Beings from all spiritual traditions. These simple contemplations distill the essence of Universal Truth and the journey to the inner depths where Truth is recognized by the soul, not learned by the mind. In this state of consciousness, true Wisdom is not mere temporal learning but the "ability to see the finite through the eyes of the Infinite." It is where the unity of life is celebrated in the sublime and timeless perception that there is only "One Doer playing all of the diverse roles of creation in a perfect way and according to a perfect plan of unfolding." In Heart of the Mystic, Jerry Thomas decribes a form of Lexio Divina, the ancient technique of allowing the Spirit of Wisdom to descent to the core of our very being, providing spiritual guidance and knowledge at the level of the soul and the three bodies (physical, astral, and etheric) that cover it. Using this method with any one of the simple contemplations allows the essence of the words to permeate our consciousness, leading us to the bliss of communion with the Source of all Love and all Life. It is the fulfillment of the promise of scripture which is to lead us back to the state of Unity Consciousness from which the concepts were first cognized and the words originally spoken.
