Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Christ is both the Way and the Door into Heaven, how can we find this path of mystery; this door into the unseen? Jesus Christ; the mystic staircase and vehicle of supernatural power, the very throne of Grace and Mercy resting over the Ark of the Covenant, hidden from ages, is waiting to be discovered. When we turn our full attention upon the beauty of Christ we will discover the ancient path that leads us to everlasting life. Leonard Ravenhill has often been quoted as saying, "No man is greater than his prayer life." And while we recognize that prayer is a vital part of every Christian's walk with God, what kind of prayer is necessary to see into the unseen? There seems to be those throughout history who encountered heaven in a much deeper way. Those who were like what Isaiah spoke of; who fly like clouds, like doves to their windows. Charlie takes you on this journey into the unseen realms of mystical prayer and reveals hidden secrets from the Holy Spirit. Learn how to walk with God in a much deeper and intimate way than you ever knew was possible. You will discover a prayer life that erases all barriers between you and God. A realm where deep calls out to the deep and revelation flows freely from the throne of Grace. Get ready to discover Mystical Prayer.

This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... parallels the prayer practices of Sufi and Christian mysticism with ease.... Vaughan-Lee's prayerful prose is poetic, inclusive, and intelligent." —Publishers Weekly Prayer of the Heart in Christian & Sufi Mysticism guides the reader through the stages of mystical prayer. Mystical prayer is a way to create a living relationship with the Divine within the heart. Drawing on Christian and Sufi sources such as St. Teresa of Avila, Attar, St. John of the Cross, and Rumi, as well as from his own experience, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee describes how prayer is first born of need, but then takes one deep within the heart, into the stages of Union and Ecstasy. Through mystical prayer, one is drawn beyond any words into the interior silence of real communion with God. Here, in the silence within the heart, a meeting and merging takes place that carries us beyond our self into the mystery of divine presence, into the secret nature of love's oneness. Prayer of the Heart in Christian and Sufi Mysticism explores the inner listening of the heart, and the secret of 'pray without ceasing' in which we discover how prayer becomes alive within the heart. Finally there is a chapter on the need at this time to pray for the Earth. How can we pray for the well-being of the Earth? How can we include the Earth in our prayers and our heart? This little book is an offering of the heart that brings together the Christian and Sufi mystical traditions in the oneness of love to which they belong. It will benefit any practitioner of prayer, anyone who is drawn to discover a relationship with God within their heart. “... with the understated simplicity of a true spiritual master, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee seamlessly weaves these complementary traditions into a single tapestry of singular power and beauty... this book offers yet another profound contribution to the collective evolution of our hearts.” —Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, from the Foreword "... draws together the Christian and Sufi traditions of mystical prayer ... Vaughan-Lee's clearly written little guide will be gratifying and absorbing for those interested in mysticism and alternate routes toward the love of God." —Library Journal “... an excellent book ... As we recover more and more of the ancient contemplative traditions, we are finding immense similarities in goal, practice, and effects. At the mystical level, we are seemingly talking about the same experience, despite our different vocabularies and styles! Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee makes this sacred journey both clear and inviting.” —Fr. Richard Rohr, Franciscan Priest, author, and founder Center for Action and Contemplation

Download or read book Mystical Prayer written by Charles M. Murphy and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Charles Murphy explores the still unfolding rediscovery of Emily Dickinson (1830–1886), our foremost American poet, as a mystic of profound depth and ambition. She declined publication of almost all of her hundreds of poems during her lifetime, describing them as a record of her wrestling with God, who, in the Puritan religious tradition she received, she found cold and remote. Murphy places Dickinson's writings within the Christian mystical tradition exemplified by St. Teresa of Avila and identifies her poems as expressions of what he terms theologically as "believing unbelief.” Dickinson's experiences of love and her confrontation with human mortality drove her poetic insights and led to her discovery of God in the beauty and mystery of the natural world.

Download or read book Mystical Insights written by Paul Masters and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a universal consciousness in whose consciousness we live, move, and have our being? The exploration of consciousness is the final frontier in the exploration of life and the mysteries of existence - its origin, its on-going presence - as well as for answering questions that intellectual analysis cannot answer because it is based on the speculations of the five senses. Consider then that within every human being there are simultaneous states of existence that are active - predating human life, during human life, and beyond human life. Participate in this world of illusions but always retain the light of universal awareness, wherever your soul's purpose path may lead you. - Dr. Paul Leon Masters
