Mystics

I recently had a chance to see the two following videos on You Tube for the first time. In my dial up world, I have to rely on other households and libraries to see anything on You Tube, but I had heard of how atrocious these were. It’s an understatement. I am glad several days have passed since I saw it, because I would had wrote even more angry. This is ridiculous. John Crowder wins “Hey--I

It seems Wall Street is falling behind Canary Wharf and the City of London. Even though money mystics and shamans are firmly established in British banks, investment banks on Wall Street have been very slow to follow this new trend. Mark Howard from the Alternative Wall Street News explains, ‘American banks don’t trust these mystics - not yet. Yes, I know that a handful of American banks based in London have hired money mystics, but it’s not happening on Wall Street. British banks such as Dodger Coombes are leading the way.’ I believe Wall Street investment banks will have to hire money mystics very soon. Otherwise Wall Street will suffer as a major financial centre. I recently reported that a statue of Big Herb has been erected on Wall Street. That is an encouraging sign, but the banks have to be bold now and take the next step. Tatum Jones from Dodger Coombes says, ‘I can understand why the American banks are nervous about this. If it all goes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tree Rollins will remain the coach of the Washington Mystics. The Mystics on Tuesday removed the interim tag from Rollins, who led the team into playoff contention after Richie Adubato resigned in June following an 0-4 start. “We felt that Tree took over our team during a tough situation, and our players responded to his coaching style,” general manager Linda Hargrove said. “We think that he has earned the opportunity to coach our team and lead us to a more…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Mystics guard Alana Beard had surgery on her left shoulder and is expected to make a full recovery for the 2008 WNBA season. Her torn labrum was repaired Thursday night at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington. “This is a problem that Alana fought through all season,” general manager Linda Hargrove said. “She worked extremely hard to keep herself on the court. We are excited to know that we will have her back at full strength for the 2008 season.” Beard injured more…

Christian Mysticism or any kind of mysticism - what’s it all about? Why do Christian Mystics seek a god? They contemplate - why do they do that, and to what end? Who does it impress or edify, if at all? Are they just a bunch of tricksters? All will be revealed in this my latest [...]

Women are blessed with loving, nurturing & passionate feminine energy that infuses life in all that they place their attention on – their work, their homes, loved ones - no one is excluded from their all encompassing quality.Even the abstract concept of the Divine is brought alive and is manifested as the Beloved – and that inner love affair becomes the glorious path of an all consuming devotion.Here are some poems by three women mystics from three different time periods & countries, and three different traditions – what is common to them is the intensity of the deep yearning, trust and surrender to the Invisible Beloved. Meera (1498-1547CE – Merta, India)Do not leave me aloneDo not leave me alone, a helpless woman.My strength, my crown,I am empty of virtues,You, the ocean of them.My heart's music, you help meIn crossing across this world.You protected the king of the elephants.You dissolve the fear of the terrified.Where can I go? Save my honourFor I have dedicated myself

Hazrat Sultan Bahu was one of the outstanding Sufi Saints of the Indian subcontinent - the part of which is now Pakistan. His admirers gave him the title 'king among mystics' (Sultan-ul-Arifeen). Nevertheless, a detailed account of his life is not available. No mention is made in any book about the date of Bahu's birth. Most writers agree that he died in 1691. As they also mention that he was 63 years old when he died, it can be reckoned that he was born in 1628 or 1629. It was his mother who called him Bahu, a name full of meaning. Ba means 'with' and Hu means 'God'. The name thus means 'united with God'.Bahu never went to school and instead received his early education at home. Despite his lack of formal education he is held in high esteem because of his inner realisation and spiritual insight. Bahu says in one of his Persian verses that, although he did not receive any grounding in external knowledge, his soul has been purified by inner knowledge. It is noted that Bahu wrot

Formed in Brooklyn, NY, in the late '50s, this white doo wop group, consisting of Al Contrera, Al Cracolici, Phil Cracolici, George Galfo, and Bob Ferrante, scored their one and only major national hit in 1959 with the Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman-authored "Hushabye." The beauty of that one hit song, however, coupled with the quality of their subsequent work -- even though none of it ever reached a wide audience -- left an impression among doo wop enthusiasts that lingered for decades, leading to a comeback in the early '80s. The Mystics' story is practically an exemplar of the best doo wop groups, in terms of longevity and recognition in the wake of momentary (but significant) chart success. The group had its origins in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, a white ethnic outer borough enclave of New York City, which also spawned such vocal groups as the Passions, the Four-Evers, and the Classics. The group originated as the Overons, a quintet that included Al Cracolici (born April 29, 193

The deeper truths about which mystics of all ages talk, are often misunderstood by the general mass. As mystics have a different kind of understanding of reality, they often resort to paradox. Or rather, when they speak about the inner reality, it seems paradoxical to the orthodox mind who can't think 'out of the box'. But if you see closely, you will realize they both are speaking the same.In mystical discourse its a recurring theme that all the enlightened personalities at different ages, sometime called Messengers of God or Prophets are basically the manifestation of the SAME ESSENCE. In that line the mystics will say what is Awakening of Abraham is the same as Christ Consciousness, is the same as Buddha Nature, is the same as Krishna Consciousness, is same as the Light of Muhammad (Nur Muhammad). There is no difference, no distinction in the core. Different time and culture needed different terminology to point the same.Now for an orthodox religious person this can sound very h

CHICAGO (TICKER) — The Chicago Sky acquired forward Monique Currie to the Washington Mystics in exchange for veteran center Chasity Melvin. Currie, who was taken third overall in the 2006 WNBA draft, played in just two games this season for Chicago, averaging 14.5 points and 6.5 rebounds. She was the first overall pick for the Charlotte Sting in the dispersal draft earlier this year. “Monique is a player that we targeted for a couple of years,” Washington general manager more…

After quite a bit of hunting around, I've managed to gather a dozen or more books that I think might be of interest to the Christian mystic. These are in pdf form, and are hosted on the ChristianMystics.com site itself. I hope you'll take a moment to go over to the site's main page and look at to the left where under "Latest" you'll find the link to the list of eBooks that are available. Some of

WASHINGTON (AP) — On Saturday, Richie Adubato will go where no Washington Mystics coach has gone before. He will start his third season with the team.

If you want to see fireworks, don't wait till July 4th, just drop the word "mystic" in with fundamentalists or those who, usually out of fear, have earnestly cast God in their own, rather limited, point of view. Case in point. I noticed someone visited this site from a link I'd never seen before, and when I checked it out I came across a forum in which a person who identified himself by his

CERN begins constructing a gigantic labratory underground.The Compact Muon Solenoid is supposed to probe the limits of physics, with ambition. "It will aim to identify the elusive Higgs boson (known as the "God particle" because of its importance to the Standard Model of physics), look for so-called supersymmetric particles and seek out the existence of extra dimensions."Or perhaps destroy humanity when Science becomes the new god of our race.
