Preparation

Next week I am going to write about being a "Modern Mystic." Yes, it is possible to live in the modern world of speed, terrorism, financial fraud, war, premeptive action, technology, genetics, strings, quarks, Mars rovers, designer drugs and yet still experience the mystical. I'll take you on a journey through many traditions and then look at how it can be achieved today. But, before we induce the mystical, we have to be prepared. Having a mystical experience when unprepared is like having a 20,000 volt current pass through your neurones when you are only built to withstand a thousand. When it does come, it will be like a thousand light bulbs lighting up in your head and you will need to be ready. So we will look at getting prepared. Come back next week and I will start my quest.
