The Daily Mystic

It took a few decades of writing, reflection, and sitting in the unknown to see the utterly obvious.

What made this obvious truth so hard to recognize?

It was a part of seeing, feeling, and experiencing itself. So it hid from sight… in experience itself.

What is so obvious?

It’s not a thought.

Not a concept.

It’s certainly not a philosophy or ideology.

Nor is it personal. Nor is it an identity.

It’s so elemental that words can only point in the general direction, like a finger at the moon.

Point to what?

The mystic.

Contrary to popular opinion, the mystic is not a special or otherworldly state of being. As modern humans, we spend much of our time absorbed in states of being that are truly otherworldly. Lost in the infinite scroll of our devices. Enchanted in the worlds projected by computer and television screens. Or just absorbed in the private worlds of our own thoughts.

The mystic is precisely not that.

The mystic is what’s happening right here, right now.

The mystic is simply being present to What Is.

The mystic is being at home in our bodies. And therefore, at home in the universe.

The mystic sees through the ploys and manipulations that seek to monetize our attention, or generate artificially-intelligent answers and experiences at global scale.

The mystic inhabits that vibrant no-bullshit zone within you that no influencer, no marketer, no advertiser can penetrate.

The only thing that’s surprising about this is that it took so long to recognize and acknowledge this most profound dimension of being that’s always been here, closer than the warmth of our breath, from the very beginning (and probably before that).

It’s been a journey.

Some of you have been with me on this journey since the inception of the Cosmic Love Activist. With me through the molting into Love Is the Way. And now, this metamorphosis back to the mystic. The Daily Mystic.

Daily is the foundation. The life-giving dirt. Daily is what the roots sink into… and deeper, every single day.

So there you have it, my beloved community. We have arrived at the dirt-simple, utterly obvious, plain shingle that can hang on this portal: The Daily Mystic.

I hope you’ll lean into this small, beautiful community, contribute your presence power, share how this community can be more attuned your needs, and connect with the other creative, heart-led people here.

This is our safe space to embody the mystic. On the daily.

Love,

Shalom
