What is 'Logically Mystic' Ⓡ and why is it important?

Being logically mystic is one of the most essential things in life to be aware of and take part in.

Let’s start with some definitions of terms:

Logic is the science that investigates principles governing reliable or correct inference.

Logic also helps us understand why a valid Christian mystical experience is a significantly important and essential part of life.

During spiritual ecstasy, a Christian mystic gains insight into mysteries beyond ordinary human knowledge by communicating with God.

I’ll share some of my personal stories with you now because they will help you understand fundamental principles, especially how to avoid delusion, deception, and misinformation. We don’t want a head full of rubbish – many people rob themselves, and others, of a genuine and rich mystical experience because of spiritual and other untruthful or unwise rubbish. Some of these are church-going people. This is where the ‘logic’ comes into play.

Back in 1985, in my early 20s, when I started my ‘healing journey’, I had severe mental health problems, later diagnosed as being in the worst category of emotional trauma and damage. "Back then, I realised how important it is to seek wisdom and truth, regardless of my opinions, biases, and the emotional pain that comes with change. It's essential to be humble. I understood this process had to take place in my inner subconscious core–as a deep part of my being, not just in my logical and conscious mind."

It is essential to have a sincere and strong desire for truth, reality, and evidence-based results. Without this focus, your mind will reject learning and growth, and you will attract varying degrees of deception and delusion into your life.

Albert Einstein - (Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein) acknowledged as one of the greatest and most influential scientists ever–said: “I want to know God’s thoughts—the rest are mere details.”

Albert Einstein was a brilliant, clever, and accomplished man. He was well-versed in logic, yet he prioritised knowing the ‘thoughts of God’ above all else.

Ponder for a while the significance of such thinking. Did Albert Einstein perhaps know something many of us do not?

Perhaps you have an idea, even if only a glimmer, that there is a good higher intelligence beyond that of humans? (I am not speaking of aliens). Some, including myself, call this ‘God’. There is also bad higher intelligence. There is good mysticism (Christian mysticism) and bad mysticism - thinking, which pretends to be wise mysticism.

In the Bible, the book of Colossians teaches that Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of all wisdom and knowledge (which is hidden).

💡
Colossians 2:2-3 WEB that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, [3] in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
💡
Albert Einstein also said: "As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the
Nazarene. No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life."

Now, you might scoff at this stage, your head full of ideas about why you don't, can't, or need not believe the Bible. Look at 2 Corinthians 4:3-6, where we learn that the 'god of this world' has blinded the minds of the unbelieving. The 'god of this world' refers to Satan (who is not some harmless cartoon, joke or fictional character, by the way).

💡
2 Corinthians 4:3-6 WEB Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying, [4] in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. [5] For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake, [6] seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

I say 'if' not because I doubt: what if it's true?

Would you like to cross death's door relying on 'luck' or hope based on nothing of substance?

What if YOUR mind is blind, as described above?

There is a guarantee, though...if you genuinely ask God to reveal the truth of what I am saying, you will find it.

But perhaps you feel 'lucky' and will trust in luck to shield you from the wrath of God when you cross death's door?

To truly understand the Bible, you need the help of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:10–14.

💡
1 Corinthians 2:10-14 WEB But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. [11] For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit. [12] But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God. [13] We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. [14] Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

So, it is essential to discover the actual truth, not your opinion, "your truth" (a misnomer), or man-made spiritual/religious/mystic dogma. A key aspect of uncovering the genuine truth is applying principles of 'law'.

What do I mean by this?

As with physical laws - for example, if we drop an unboiled egg, it will break - there are laws of the deep mind/psyche and laws of the spiritual/higher intelligence dimension, regardless of whether we believe them.

Some key laws include the need, as outlined above, for a deep, genuine desire for, and focus on, truth, reality and results (evidence). Humility is another key. If we are unteachable, think we know it all, are emotionally bonded to our dogma, and more, then we cannot receive the truth. We must empty a bottle before filling it with something else. Also, if we only empty part of it, we will have a mixture of whatever else we put on top. An 'inner death' is involved.

Why is the mystic (Christian) important?

There are many reasons; however, an important reason is that we can access profound wisdom and knowledge via the mystic (Christian), which benefits our lives and those we interact with.

If we deprive ourselves of the mystic, we have a deep inner poverty of the mind/psyche.

Thus, we need to be ‘logically mystic’. Note I did not say: “woo woo’. Real truth, evidence and results are key.

I was at the top of my year (entire school) in science – first in biology and physics, and second in chemistry. I went to a (shitty) school for ‘clever dicks’. A previous girlfriend (PhD Science – University lecturer) said I have the ‘marks of genius’. These are simple statements of fact and 'gifts of my genes'. Nothing to be personally proud of. I am extremely humble – maximising humility assists with gaining wisdom and spiritual power – this is ‘law’. Only the stupid ignore the laws of nature. Intelligence is not the same as wisdom.

Thus, I have an extremely scientific and logical mindset. I have seen and experienced so much evidence of the mystic (Christian) that I would be a certifiable lunatic if I denied or doubted it.

If you are not logically mystic, you are missing so much.
