Comments on: Faith and Mysticism PART I: This Sounds Creepy. http://brokentelegraph.com/2008/05/07/faith-mysticism-creepy/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:17:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tana http://brokentelegraph.com/2008/05/07/faith-mysticism-creepy/#comment-2562 Tana Sat, 22 Oct 2011 18:00:17 +0000 http://brokentelegraph.wordpress.com/?p=64#comment-2562 If it were not for the few mystical experiences I've had and the way reading from the great Christian mystics have opened up my heart, I would no longer claim any sort of faith or spiritual life. I look forward to reading the next two parts.

How does one connect the TRUTH together? It is easier for me to see the common threads that tie things together. Much like the blind men describing an elephant, many hard core scientists believe in God. Feelings are a series of chemical reactions and vibrations on a physical level, but that energy transcends physical boundaries. Why? You know I am always questioning. I really look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on this. I too look forward to your thoughts on this. :)

And we all know that if someone wants to truly believe in something (or at least claim that they do) anything can be an "elevated experience" meant to suit their agenda. It seems it's a fine line between jargon and authenticity. And who can really tell?

I didn't see the link to Matt Reichmann?! :) I did enjoy what you had to say about mysticism and the beautiful icon.... I converted to the Greek Orthodox Church since you kids were at King's and mysticism is a huge part of it (did chuckle when you mentioned Yianni). You are welcome to join me at St. Demetrios any Sunday to have a peek. Best of luck with this project, Susan Hi Ian,
