You don’t need to be a prophet, holy man, saint or messiah to attain Mystic Union. If Unity were not attainable by ordinary man, then none of us would have the ability to realize The Eternal. Spiritual/Mystical Unity is open and available to all, regardless of belief or religious preference. This is the self-realized universal ideal of contemporary mystic, Spencer Perdriau. In a world that has become so focused on distinction and difference, what we need now is collective, not personal, experience and realization of the underlying Essence that pervades and unifies us all equally. That Essence is everywhere and ever-present. It is the foundation of everything and is the same for us all. We may appear separate and different at the surface of life, but our essence and foundation is the same, and connects us all. We are all made of the same “stuff” of reality, and we all exist within the same “ocean of reality”, no matter how different we take it. If we all had a glimpse of our essential foundation, Our Ultimate Identity, that collective realization would create far more peace and equality in our world, which so desperately yearns for that remembering and restoration of Unity. This little book is devoted to sharing and inspiring all who have a deep yearning and passion for That. In the realization of our Greater Self, prejudice and difference dissolves, and in that awareness and understanding of our Greater Unity, compassion, peace and equality has room to flourish once more.

What did the Apostle Paul really mean when he said, "Oh, that I may know him"? Was it a cry for more knowledge of Christ? Maybe a desire for greater understanding of doctrinal and theological truths he received from Christ himself? What if it was as simple as, "Oh, that I might intimately know Him and our relationship deepen in endless discovery"?From Adam to the early church fathers, the mystic path has always been in front of us--unseen and turned away from by those who prefer the comfort of a road instead of the thrill of the hidden path.The Wonder-Filled Mystic Union has come to confirm for us what the deepest part of our hearts had, until now, only wildly hoped for. It provides the seeking heart with the permission to "go for it" and explore the holy wild that is union with Yahweh.In The Wonder-Filled Mystic Union, Kalin Tanner uses biblical, scientific, and historical evidence to prove that mysticism is God's intention to raise up sons. Marrying these three seemingly contradictory subjects, Tanner gives a mystical yet practical guide for the beginner to start their own path deep into a relationship with the God of the cosmos.

Mystics who have spoken of their union with God have come under suspicion in all three major religious traditions, sometimes to the point of condemnation and execution in the case of Christianity and Islam. Nevertheless, in all three religions the tradition of unio mystica is deep and long. Many of the spiritual giants of these three faiths have seen the attainment of mystical union as the heart of their beliefs and practices. Despite its importance, mystical union has rarely been investigated in itself, apart from the wider study of mysticism, and even more rarely from the aspect of comparative studies, especially those based upon broad and expert knowledge of the inner life of the three related monotheistic faiths. This text brings together essays that equally explore the broader idea of unio mystica as well as the mystic traditions within each religion.

Following in the Christian Mystical and Contemplative traditions of the teachings of the Desert Fathers, the Philokalia, and the Eastern Orthodox focus on Union, Theosism and Deification, Brother Dominick takes the reader through a set of five correspondences that lay out the way and methodology for the Union with God experience to manifest itself within and without. After over a decade of mystical transformations from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, inner illumination by the blinding uncreated light, and various expeditions through the Dark Night of the Soul, Brother Dominick would eventually receive a set of Blueprints from a South African Christian Mystic Hermit which would help his odyssey into the manifestation of the Union with God experience. The Blueprints to Union eventually became a consolidation of the teachings of the Hermit and were in common with those of St, Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, Meister Eckhart, The Cloud of Unknowing, and various Mystics of Christian antiquity, all of whom had traversed the inner quest to finally sink into the Omnipresent Ocean of God.

Jan Van Ruusbroec written by Paul Mommaers and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with Mystical union categories.
The medieval Flemish mystic Jan van Ruusbroec (1293-1381) is often highly praised. Cuthbert Butler, for one, concluded that there "certainly" has been "no greater mystical writer." It comes as a surprise, then, that no comprehensive study of Ruusbroec's mystical doctrine as such is available. Filling up this lacuna seems all the more appropriate as the critical text edition of Ruusbroec's works is now complete: Jan van Ruusbroec Opera omnia (1981-2006), including the most influential Latin translation as well as a new translation into English besides the Middle Dutch text. The guiding principle for the work offered here is that the mystic himself should be allowed to speak in the very first place, and not the commentator. As the core of Ruusbroec's writings consists in the description of a person's awareness - the awareness of an Other -, it is only in a close reading of his work in its entirety, interspersed with textual analyses, that his view of becoming and being mystically one with God may appear. However, as it is a mystical figure and his writings that are central to this study, the first two chapters are dedicated to finding out, always on the base of the mystics' own reports, what essentially characterizes mystics, what they experience and how they experience it, why they write and in what manner. Ruusbroec's own description of mystical experience is covered in five chapters. Chapter III - "Profiling the Human" - deals with the way in which this mystic imagines the universally applicable structure of the human psyche. The subject of chapter IV - "Meeting the Divine Other" - is Ruusbroec's outlining of the contemplative path. It is striking here to see how the phenomenon of "meeting" persists all through the mystic's growth, from premystical beginnings up to the deepest mystical union. It appears, moreover, that this path is not to be followed necessarily nor does it reflect a linear making-progress but rather a spiralling being-carried along. In chapter V - "Mystically One with God" - the heart of Ruusbroec's mystical experience comes to the fore, and this is of course where his unique talent for evoking the unseen shines most. The main point here is that for the mystic the most advanced experience of being one with God consists in feeling "unity" as well as "union", "resting" as well as "working". In other words, being perfectly one with God should not be seen as a fusion in which the human being is absorbed by the divine. It is by living the interplay of such different aspects as "unity" and "union" that the mystic is fully one with the Other. The complex character of the highest mystical state entails Ruusbroec's remarkable portrayal of the fully-fledged mystic as a "common man", that is: as "wholly in God and wholly in himself." The last two chapters of the book focus on Ruusbroec's discussion of natural mysticism. On encountering a number of his contemporaries who by their own account were able to "contemplate without (God's) grace", he felt he had to take issue with them. In chapter VI it appears that he appreciates not only their method, "turning inwards", but also its outcome, "feeling the simplicity of their essence (the deep self), hanging in the essence of God." Chapter VII outlines Ruusbroec's critique, however, which is mainly aimed at two points. The contemplative who turns inwards in the natural way finally "dwells within himself with rest" and he or she wil necessarily undergo the dehumanizing effects of "not feeling otherness".
