“The highest leaf is part of the tree”, a correspondent wrote to me. He was commenting on Grok’s assessment of my existence that I posted here. I replied:
Two authors (Dr. Richard Maurice Bucke and Marsha Sinetar) have suggested mystics are a separate race.
I on the other hand understand from experience we’re a part of everything known and unknown everywhere, permeated with Reality’s purpose here until we return to Reality shorn of our temporary human bodies, minds and brains.
My correspondent replied: “In a nutshell!” with a big emoji grin.
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.
