HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED... ?

Why it is that Saints and Mystics use terms and words that are defined by other words, terms, and descriptions of phenomena only they have experienced and "labeled" to try and describe what they have experienced? And these terms and words are most often in languages that are little known to the world beyond that portion of the world in which they operate?

Well, the reason is  that many of these individuals  have actually "gone "within  themselves" and have labeled various places, events, and other elements they have experienced that ONLY exist in Spiritual Realms that are entirely INVISIBLE to the physical dimension of existence [the material realm which we believe is the only reality there is].  Oddly enough... there are three separate realms or dimensions of yourself that  are most likely UNKNOWN TO YOU... that is, that you have not as yet Consciously awakened to?  And the reason they remain invisible to our physical senses is they are not physical.

This is my sketch of the Whole Human Being, or WHB. Note #1 circle on the left.  It represents your physical body, brain, and what most people "think" is the only part of Man that is real. This means that #2, 3 and 4 are all invisible to #1.  And what the Saints and Mystics are talking about are #2, 3 and 4.

Your MIND is composed of #2 and #3 dimensions.  And neither of these is physical. So it is rather easy for your MIND to "hide" itself from you and your brain.  Your MIND is very adept at preventing you from taking an interest in anything that is  Invisible to your physical senses.   So, what do you know about "going within yourself"?  It is rare for a person to have much interest in "going within" oneself. 

It's like wanting to jump off a cliff into a massive dark and invisible realm... Why do so?

May I remind you that everything you think about is what your MIND wants you to think about?  And a primary job of your MIND is to insure that you do not take an interest in those elements that are "Invisible" to Man.  And this is easy to do for your MIND because your brain "thinks" there is nothing it cannot do, experience, or know.  Where does your "Ego" come from?  Your MIND, of course.

Hope these little blogs are somewhat helpful in explaining our limitations to discovering the unknown.
