What does it really mean to have a "direct experience" of something in mysticism? What are some of the characteristics of it?


I can only tell you of my experience.

To have a direct experience is to have a mental experience; a conscious experience.

The experience fills your mind but because the experience is so exquisite, it also feels as if it is filling your body.
This is due to the effects of consciousness. All the cells of your body are conscious, so all are being activated.
For me, my senses are very high; very open as is my awareness.
At first, in the early days of my mystic travels, I was immersed and transfixed in the conscious planes I would arrive at.
Today, I am able to travel and yet engage my lower mind that reasons out what I am experiencing.
For me, the experience has been life changing. My physical life has not changed, but all of my feelings about life as well as my attitudes toward life has changed.
The mystical is superior to the physical and a welcome relief after 6 decades of struggling on the earth.
The freedom of being out of body and released from the chains, responsibilities, demands suppression and oppression of the human existence is incredible.
There is nothing about the physical world I miss when I am away. I feel like a new creation.


By contemplation and self-surrender I have been and still am seeking unity and wholeness with the divine and the spiritual knowing of truths that are beyond the human intellect. I am in daily communication with the House of Christ, I channel other spirits, I receive and still seek higher knowledge and higher understanding of the mind and creation. Therefore, I call myself a mystic.

Why has neuroscience not settled the question of free will?

All of man’s science is based on physical proof. What physical properties does the will have? Can you hold it in your hand? Can you pour it on to your cereal? Have you ever heard/read of any doctor, especially a surgeon who removed the will of a patient when they removed their tonsils? Performed a heart transplant, Removed a bad kidney, removed gall stones or performed brain surgery? Human science will not find the physical evidence of the will nor will they ever produce the physical proof of a spirit. (Even though ghosts can be captured on cameras. Technology makes this evidence speculative and open to interpretation.) Human science will also never produce a mind or the thoughts that a mind contains. Human science is limited, finite and incomplete because man’s vision is also limited by his blind refusal to open his limited mind to a universe of possibilities that exists beyond the physical realm.

How can I enhance and expand my natural extrasensory perception abilities?

  Start a daily exercise and when I say daily, I mean do this all the time when you are not otherwise distracted by the demands of a corporeal existence: Focus on your extrasensory perception. Meditate on it as if you waiting to hear something, see something, realize something. In this way, with this one exercise, you are communing with the conscious universe through your own portal to it. The vibrations of your senses, fixed on that portal will reach through to the universe and you will meet other vibrations; perhaps a guide that will choose to train you.

What is the differences between schizophrenia's reality and philosophical Metaphysical reality? If they are both seeing things that are not there that only they can see?

Reality is in the eye of the beholder. Who can honestly judge anyone else and their experiences when so much is based on perspective and perspective itself is based on so many different factors. Is it necessary to understand every one’s individual perspective and what does it mean if you do understand everyone’s individual perspective? Does it validate your perspective? The moment we make a judgment about something, we have closed a door and named our world according to that judgment. We are all information seekers. That is who we are. We are not the sum of our bodies at all. We are mental machines, not the sum of our organic brains that will die, but the sum of our metaphysical minds. Our minds are not made of flesh. We are on a journey of information in a multi-dimensional universe of physical matter in order that we learn what it is to be multi-dimensional. The information we gather that we accept as our own makes us who we are. We are nothing more and nothing l...
