Jean Marie Dwyer

The Quest for the Divine: Philosopher, Prophet, and Mystic elaborates the meaning of human existence rooted in the transcendent. Every human person has a fundamental call to peace and communion with all our brothers an sisters. Several important consequences arise from this perspective. Among the most significant are the essential relationship of the individual with the divine and the power each of us has to transform the society in which we live. The book shows the importance of the individual’s encounter with God in the various periods of history and the impact this encounter has in the movement of history. It is in these important moments of encounter that human history moves toward its end. These men and women serve to raise human consciousness to the truth of our existence through their shared insights. We often bemoan the situation of violence and hatred in our world and feel totally impotent to do anything. One of the major reasons for this book is to say that we can do something. We can transform the world by attuning ourselves to the flow of the Divine Presence.

Danyang Zhao

This unity with God when composing this poem is achieved without ecstasy but time passing. This spiritual journey, consisted of hundreds of spiritual experiences with God, is not instantaneous but time consuming. The growth of the spirit inside is not achieved by one instance with Divinity, thus not mystical experience. Then what is mysticism? How is it realized? How does the Divine reveal Himself/Herself to us in mysticism? Do we need spiritual experiences to unite with the Divine? Does Divinity ever occur without any condition? How can this unity realized? What do people feel and see in this union? How does that mean to us? How can we touch the unspeakable beauty? In this paper, the poet will demonstrate that mysticism is distinctive of spiritual experience and the initiator of such union is independent of human effort. The following paragraphs will explain how spiritual experience with God is related to mysticism in a Christian perspective, the approach of other religions in understanding mysticism, and how atheists interpret mysticism.

Life as a Pilgrimage to the Divine

Srinivasan MS

The foundation of Indian vision of development is the intuition of a Divine Consciousness beyond Mind, which is within everyone and everything, and has become all that is in the Universe, the One without a second. This Divine Unity is the Alpha and Omega of all existence. Our individual mind, life and body are the expressive instruments of this spiritual Reality and all the energies in man, life and Nature are multiform energies of the Spirit.

Luis Melendez Jr

Luis Melendez Jr. recounts his unexpected spiritual journey sparked during his assignment with the United States Army in the UK in 1997. In this article, he delves into his profound connection with the Spirit World, discovering the ability to receive messages from spirits, feel others' emotions, and channel healing energy. This exploration leads him to the realm of mediumship, a phenomenon deeply intertwined with various traditions and cultures throughout history. A turning point arises when Luis realizes the prevalence of spontaneous spiritually transformative experiences (STEs) among people, triggering glimpses into higher states of consciousness. The author shares instances of peak experiences, near-death encounters, mystical unions, and spontaneous awakenings. Through captivating stories, such as Brian Sadler's encounter with a transcendent white cloud, the article captures the profound impact of STEs, unveiling hidden realities and expanding perceptions. Luis acknowledges the challenges faced by those who fear discussing their STEs due to societal stigma. He emphasizes the importance of understanding, compassion, and collective exploration in breaking down this barrier. By shedding light on these experiences, he hopes to inspire deeper contemplation of spirituality's implications for individuals, society, and the global community.
