Mind, Heart and Mysticism

The unknown has always had an air of mysticism about it. When mind is incapable of defining reality then there is the substitution of the idea of the mystical. So mind not being able to fully comprehend an event or experience creates a category: the mystical. All that cannot be explained and reconciled with the known is the mystical. Many so called 'Holy Men', 'Sages', and 'New Age Divinities' have dangled the 'mystical' in our faces for eons, and said follow me and all will be revealed. "That is, if you are worthy enough, by showing your obeisance". One can be very clever in speech and persona. Many are searching for what they believe to be the mysteries of the unknown. Self styled guru's give them what they want by eluding to there own special talent as a 'knower' of mysticism. One who can unveil the mysterious.


Guru's, Priest, Shamans, and so called Enlightened personalities give talks and lectures, write books, create a following. They are all in the business of providing the 'reality' of the 'esoteric'.
To bring the unknown into the known. One is caught in the search for that which is greater than the self. The heart longs to find that which will give it peace and love. So one becomes enamored by the persona of very clever and pious personalities that deceive and exploit. These self glorified individuals prey upon the weakness of those who are caught in the search for that which is beyond. They feed the illusion of faith and hope by offering so-called secret and esoteric methods to 'attain', which are complete rubbish. This activity services the ego and pocket book of the instigator and it is the highest immorality. If one can truly help another without self motivation and profit then that action is the highest form of love and selflessness.


All religions, whether old and established or new age have an agenda that excludes and divides. This activity of separation is the manifestation of that which causes suspicion and violence.
One finds comfort in the illusion of 'knowing', of having arrived. One may now go to sleep and enjoy the drug of religion and feel secure in the knowledge that one has found one's Guru, or Master. But one is never completely secure, there is always something else to be discovered and 'someone' to show the way. One destroys one's present belief in favor of another that seems more 'hip' or in line with changing attitudes. It is always that way....the guru is destructive of the follower and the follower destroys the Guru. It is the process of the thought and the one who thinks to divide and separate and it is this activity that is destructive i.e. my religion and your religion.


The heart must realize peace and love through the mind. Mind must have the realization of self, of the division that exist within. One becomes aware of the minds duality as thought and thinker. This duality is expressed through one's compulsion, confusion, and disintegration.
One cannot realize through the heart which is longing for the unseen and unknown. The mind must have complete understanding that is not a function of conditioned thought. Only mind can have understanding through negation of the false. When the conditioning of thought has silenced its self and has ceased all movement then the heart takes precedence and realizes peace and love that it not the result of minds divisive motivations.
