Toward the Real
The mystical life is the life by which I grow toward what is real and away from illusion, the life that grows into true relationship. The future of Christianity in the West depends on our ability to live mystically, that is, in touch with that core reality that is the center of events. Without claiming this truth that everything is in God, Christianity loses its transforming power and becomes something like “behaving decently,” a series of rights and wrongs.
For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
- Matthew 13: 17
Reflection Question: How might living mystically expand our understanding of Christianity?
