E=MC2 as Einstein gave us tells us that even matter is energy. It seems everything is made up of energy and Conservation of Energy tells us that energy is neither created nor destroyed that it just changes form. I feel this can be another definition of God I also don’t think we should take anything for granted In science everything is proven through methodology or the scientific method. A hypothesis is formed…………..Seems many religions have done this This is where the disputes…See More
"... essentially, it is the mind that comes in line to, and direction with, the heart, not the other way around. The sheaths of reality are not layered in that way or order."
"As I said previously, the heart is far closer to God than what the mind is. The mind is the outer layer of the heart. It is the heart that is always deeper in Truth and Being, not the mind. The mind is far more prone to corruption and falsity than…"
Mystic Tourist commented on Soma's blog post Christian Mysticism is a Solo Journey"Mystic Paths. This comment thread has focused on the heart as opposed to the intellect implying that the one is a better tool for mysticism than the other. In my walk these gifts are not at odds. They are meant to compliment and temper…"
"Thank you Ian, that was a lovely response. Yes, there are many paths we can take that will lead us back home to God. But all paths ultimately lead back into The Mystic Heart of God. For the more direct-immediate approach back Home, I will always…"
Ian Fraser commented on Soma's blog post Christian Mysticism is a Solo Journey"There are many solo journeys along spiritual paths, the mystic path - within Christian or any other tradition, and the cerebral investigation that takes the traveller along many pathways both within and outside his/her own tradition. The cerebral…"
Soma replied to Betsy Whitfill's discussion Has God anything more to say to us?""And what role does the heart play in this redirection? I've found that the brain is a rather analytic machine, a computer, which does not have a direction. But perhaps you are referring to the mind as something more than just…"
Soma replied to Betsy Whitfill's discussion Has God anything more to say to us?""So perhaps there is value in alerting the neophyte hopefully an aspirant, but not necessarily, to Biblical injunctions to look within, trust what is within etc. Then, using the guidance you provided below, begin to draw the neophyte…"
Soma replied to Betsy Whitfill's discussion Has God anything more to say to us?""But how to present this concept to those who are as yet on the first rungs of the ladder of religion? " Betsy
Betsy that is a good question.I would try to make that person conscious of him/her self.
We are all spiritual aspirants at…"
Soma replied to Betsy Whitfill's discussion Has God anything more to say to us?"I agree with Graham and think that consciousness gives a new concept of life that helps form a new humanity, both on the individual and community level. It helps people take on something more than the animal because it offers a faith that is both…"

"...except that Christian Mysticism is very much the direct Way of the Heart, where the others (except maybe for Sufism) are very much the lesser indirect way of the mind - meditation, yoga, etc."
Soma replied to Betsy Whitfill's discussion Has God anything more to say to us?"Betsy salutations to the Divinity within you. I feel God is speaking in all scriptures past and present because He/She is centered everywhere within people who are good and bad. The problem is we are not listening so we just need to throw open…"

This solo mystical journey evolves from location to position, from view to vision onward towards total understanding. It is passed from mind to mind, a flame passed from candle to candle. There is nothing to buy, join or donate. A Christian vision beyond personality opens the eye to a new awareness, cultivating good qualities, internal clarity and introspection. It encourages one to believe the truth that is experienced and not necessarily to join. When one is tired of reading the menu, it…

Ch 27
Therefore the sage takes care of all men
And abandons no one.
He takes care of all things
And abandons nothing.
This is called "following the light."
Matt 5:
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light…

The great Tao flows everywhere.
All things are born from it,
yet it doesn't create them.
It pours itself into its work,
yet it makes no claim.
It nourishes infinite worlds,
yet it doesn't hold on to them.
Since it is merged with all things
and hidden in their hearts,
it can be called humble.
Since all things vanish into it
and it alone endures,
it can be called great.
It isn't aware of its greatness;
