Signs of Mindful Moments

A Passion for Life in the Present Moment

Mystical moments regularly occur in life and they are not only experienced by mystics or saintly sages. They are open to all. However, we can often fail to recognise them and to grasp them to ourselves and thus 'digest' these moments of mystery and mysticism..  One of the main reasons for this 'failure' is our tendency to believe that mystical moments are meant for mystics and also we tend to live in the past or the future and not the present moment.

We are all mystics. Every person has the ability to both experience mystical moments and to live life as a mystic. The operative word is ' experience'  . A mystic is one who not only sees and thinks about life but develops their capacity to experience life as it really is. Many cultures refere to this a ' third eye' seeing , which is non-dualistic sliving and refusing to be a captive to the prevalent Either: Or thinking.

 The following quote is a reminder of both God's passion for life and of the many opportunities we can have to experience  'mystical moments' . Can we begin to develop a 'passion' for the ordinary things of life and recognise that the extraordinary exists in the ordinary.
