Stumbling Mystic

Why am I writing about mysticism? Because I feel the spiritual impulse to connect with the Sacred. What we call spirituality, our yearning, searching, finding, losing, stumbling toward, is our attempt to respond to the spiritual impulse. But in our current society, it’s hard to find a path that feels nurturing and authentic. Traditional religion carries baggage that clouds the wisdom that it holds. Secular culture denies the living, loving intelligence I sense behind the world of form. I’m drawn to a path that explores direct experience of the Sacred, one that does not deny the truths behind religion or science, but is not bound by their reasoning – the path of a modern mystic.
