Mysticism vs Mist

A simple seeker could not let go of the mystical insights of Kabbalah symbols, such as The Tree of Life transforming …

“No. It represents human consciousness continuously transforming and transcending itself.”

“And blending into higher and higher, or deeper and deeper levels of integration and harmonization …”

“Is there such a word?”

“You interrupted an intensive insight developing.”

“You were about to lose it.”

“How do you know?”

“Your so-called understanding of mysticism was evaporating into mist.”

“What’s wrong with mist?”

“The mist of false understanding is as a curtain that prevents one from clear vision.”

……

A simple seeker’s note to herself

“Human consciousness continuously transforming and transcending itself .,,”

“What about it?”

“It sounds so romantic.”

“Romantic?”

“Yes, as if there will be no end to pleasure.”

“Pleasure?”

“Yes, pleasure.”

“What has pleasure got to do with transcendence of consciousness?”

“It must be a very pleasurable experience.”

“Yes, it is.”

A Journal of a journey, with Spirit as my guide, using the wisdom of I Ching, an ancient explanation of change as a necessary part of life, to understand Life, and where, how, and why my life has developed as it has, and where do I go from here, and how, and why. My mission, purpose, or desire is to share my struggle toward and passion for enlightenment, without having a clear idea of what it will look like when I find it, and I intend to find it, sooner or later. Meanwhile I seem to be struggling toward enlightenment without a clear road map, unless Spirit, my constant companion (did He invite himself along, for laughs, perhaps?) is hiding it from me, for whatever reason. Vancouver, BC Canada is the only place I care to live, in this world. Perhaps it's not entirely by choice. My name is carved into a nearby sidewalk, as if to remind me where I belong. I am blessed to have Spirit as a teacher. Just ask him.
