Practical mysticism consists in making our Inner Being our centre of gravity. This is our entry into the ontological world.
All the works of mysticism we can say, are the works of making our Inner Being the centre of gravity. This takes much grit, yet it was (in Lemuria millions of years ago) and should be the most natural thing.
To make our Inner Being our centre of gravity, we will gradually end up making our Inner Being our central reference point by which we run our inner and outer lives.
The better the relationship with the Inner Being becomes, the more it will be a centre of gravity. So much so that it will become the one reference point for our life. The key is to make our relationship with the Inner Being great!
The works of practical mysticism are also about investing the values of faith, love, hope and trust in the Inner Being. As these are the four columns upon which all deep and rich relationships are founded.
Practical mysticism is essentially about cultivating a rich and intimate relationship with the Inner Being.
In exactly the same way that we cultivate a good relationship with another human being, we can work to cultivate a good relationship with the Inner Being.
For a relationship to be good, we have to have some faith in it. That is we believe in it's goodness, its future, it's quality and mutual benefit.
As we believe in a human relationship, we must believe in the Inner Being. We always come to love what we believe in. We will never love something we don't believe in.
Faith in something is strength. Having faith in the Inner Being makes the relationship with the Inner Being strong.
For a good relationship we trust in the quality of the relationship and in the other person. We must trust the Inner Being and be able to surrender certain worries, fears and matters of the future to the Inner Being.
For a good relationship there is hope. We have hopes and yearnings for any relationship we value. We have hopes for what the relationship can do. The same applies to the relationship with our Inner Being. We must come to hold hope and yearnings for our Inner Being and ourselves all together for a bright future together.
For a good relationship there is always love. There are many ways of love and all I can say that we have to find our way of loving the Inner Being (ourselves) which is always done by giving love. Don't wait to give love to the Inner Being and yourself together. Give it now!
This work of practical mysticism completes us - makes us whole. As it encompasses the four worlds which are: the physical world, the psychological world, the esoteric world and the ontological world.
This is one the great gifts that Gnosis gives us!
With this work we will never feel alone anymore. We are a universe, and a universe is full of beings. We are not all alone in the world. We are certainly not a lonely leaf being blown here and there by the winds of life. We are a universe that has a purpose and a destiny.
Intimate prayer is the way to enter the works of practical mysticism, and it is up to our inner sense of responsibility and integrity before our Inner Being to follow through with what we offer in prayer before the many events of daily life.
