Mystical Experience … “it is beyond the ordinary powers which we expect in a human being; it is not needed for daily human life. It comes as a surprise and even gets in the way.”
‘Spiritual Letters’ by Abbot Chapman of the Order of Saint Benedict, Downside Abbey, Continuumbooks.com
Reblog these posts as much as you like. No copyright is imposed. About the author: Keith is a "pratyeka" mystic according to Buddhism because his Mystical Experiences of Reality (MER) were spontaneous. (He is not a Buddhist or member of any religion). He had MERs every year from the age of 15 to 35 years of age. Pratyeka mystics don't teach, preach, evangelise, or prosletise what they know. However, when Keith recognises those who are chosen and driven to seek Ultimate Reality he does reach out to them, cautiously, to help them stop floundering and recognise themselves, know what is happening to them. Then his inclination is to remove himself unless called upon. All Is Well.
