The Ministry of Mystery Presents: Diving Deep into the Divine - ONE

 “We all have the ability to heal ourselves; I know, I have done so... In the morning, know that you are Loved, You Are Love and You Love” ―Lisa Bellini

Welcome to the wonderful journey that is your life!

The exercises and materials that will be shared within this Circle will lead us all to feeling more fulfilled in every possible way. Upon learning the techniques that make it possible for us to consciously contact and connect deeply with God through utilizing mystic methods, there's absolutely no area of life that cannot be improved, transformed, or transcended.

The sacred inner work we're doing will bless us for the rest of our lives- if we allow it and continue to 'practice' connecting with our Inner Wisdom for guidance on how to navigate the time we have here.

The only things you'll need for this adventure include:

☆ a single candle + safe fire source

☆ a virtual or physical journal, or both

Optional, but recommended, Supplies:

☆ sage, crystals, + incense

☆ a glass of water

Other things you need that don't cost a thing:

☆ your attention + communication skills

☆ commitment

☆ integrity

☆ self-motivation

☆ determination

☆ effort

☆ kindness

☆ gratitude

☆ and about 20 minutes a day

Depending on how many people show interest, we may create a private group to share our experience, strength, and hope but for now I'll just share the insight via Google+ and participants can comment as they feel guided. 

This Circle is created with the intention to provide more value, sustenance, and reverence in our daily lives. It's a safe space, a sanctuary, and it should be treated as such by all participants at all times. If you ever feel confused or if you're having a hard time in any way, please reach out. We're in this together. We all struggle from time to time and we all have something within us that can empower and inspire others along the way.

Mysticism is about getting comfortable with the unknown, communing with God, learning to self-heal + how to stay positive, and becoming a better manifestor. We all have days when some form of negativity creeps in or when racing thoughts bombard our ability to stay centered and focused, but through Practical Mysticism you can trust you'll be successful in overcoming it when you need it most: if you show up for yourself and do the work.

The 'work' isn't strenuous, manual labor, or anything that requires more of you than thinking with your Mind and expressing yourself through the words you're inspired to use. 

Here's an example of the kind of 'work' we'll do:


Exercise: Words are Powerful. 

How you use words can build empires or destroy nations. When there are words inside of you that are poisonous, spit them out! 

I'm not encouraging you to spit them out at other life-forms, but to write long and hard about the venom that's engaging you in negativity and destructive behaviors. This sacred work is for your highest good and to benefit All in the highest possible way.

My process that I'm sharing with you below is just as sacred. I use incense, crystals, sage, the candle + flame, salt, a glass of water, and an indoor plant to garnish the area I work in, and with these items I create Sacred Space through intention, visualization, and prayer. Please do whatever you feel most comfortable with and decorate your environment with items that inspire reverence for the Sacred as much as you can. Setting the tone will only make your experience more profound.


Supplies Needed: 

White Candle, Fire Source, Paper, Writing Utensil



Here's the process:

Take three luxurious breaths, inhaling as deep as possible and exhaling with controlled force. In through your nose, ...pause... and out through your pursed lips.

Intention: 

To release what's toxic and gain clarity on how to move forward.

Incantation: 

God of Fire Burning Bright, Goddess of the Highest Light
Transform my pain, Bless my Sight
Reveal to me Clarity, the Truth I Invite

Fill my mind, heart, + body with your Presence
Cut the Cords of Illusion with your Essence

And So It Is
And So It Is
And So It Is

☆

Prayer: Holy Ancient Spirit within and around me, thank you for protection from negative astral influences and ill intentions while in this space and doing this sacred work. Thank you for ensuring that no harm come to me and no harm be sent to anyone else while I'm engaged in this practice.

Practice: Light a white candle in front of you, stare into its flame for about three minutes, and then close your eyes and visualize Light from the deepest part of your essence emanating through every cell of your being and radiating outward through your skin and into the space around you. The after-image of the flame will give you an inner focal point to concentrate on during this process. When you feel you are ready, open your eyes and move forward.

Write honestly and every last detail that's burning to get out of you. Then read it to yourself and add to it as more words arise from the depths within. Write until you feel an emotional release but limit yourself to a period of no more than 30 minutes by setting a timer. This practice can be applied to anything that's causing you to burn yourself by not expressing yourself in a healthy manner.

The goal is to release the poison of hostility and anger so we don't burn ourselves with the hot coals we don't want, or do want, to throw at others. Whether we intend to or not it's affecting them and us. It never works out for us in a positive way to take our anger out on others, even if they're the cause of it. Yes, we may feel a profound sense of release, but relief isn't always included.

Once your timer goes off or you're finished writing, whichever comes first, remind yourself of the Intention, take a deep breath to clear the air, and read your words one last time. 

Then, close your eyes and refocus your attention to the space within your mind where the flame imprint was left after staring into the fire. Thank the Eternal Presence within you for the guidance, clarity, + response you're about to receive. 

Take three more of those luxurious breaths you took earlier and sit in silence while breathing in a natural and peaceful manner. 

Clarity may come right away, and it may come later on while you're washing the dishes or driving to the store, maybe today, maybe not right away- but it will come. 

 to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Now that you have completed the releasing process, take the paper you released your words onto and burn it in a manner that isn't hazardous to your health, the health of others, or the environment.

Once the ashes are completely cold, bury them in the Earth. You won't have to dig a large hole but you can make it as ceremonial as you'd like. 

Incantation:
 
bury it deep, or bury it shallow
I release what's in my shadow
into the Earth, the ground is hallowed 
setting me free like a shooting arrow

And So It Is
And So It Is
And So It Is

☆DISCLAIMER☆

If you're reading along but not actively participating in what we're doing, you do not have permission to share the information found within these writings, nor is it ok for you to desecrate the work or experiences of any participant, myself included. We live in times where darker forces aim to destroy what tends to liberate us from their control, and after we have cultivated our practice and strengthened our connection to the Divine, they'll have absolutely no power over us whatsoever- though they really don't now. Their power is our ignorance: Awareness is Key. It does not do us any good to ignore these forces which is why this information and future information is being shared: For us to come together and 'fight the good fight'.

To all lovers of the Mystical + Sacred~ The Ministry of Mystery Presents: Diving Deep into the Divine

 "Never allow your ego to diminish your ability to listen." —Gary Hopkins

::Calling all Mystics, Wise Ones, + Energy Sensitives::

In other words, the courageous, the dreamers, the cheerful, the believers, those who take positive + inspired action, the ones with their heads in the clouds and feet on the ground, and those who look for the greatness in others~

If you don't see these qualities in yourself but you honestly want to learn how to cultivate them, you're invited too.

Over the coming weeks I'll be Diving Deep into the Divine with practices + information that will help us all dive deeper into ourselves to come into contact with the Supreme Intelligence within us.

Part of this endeavor includes another Key to Conscious Awareness: a comprehensive look at The Four Pillars of EnergyWork: Grounding, Clearing, Protecting, + Connecting. This venture is as much for me as it is for you~ We're now entering the phase of the year where going within and cultivating self-awareness for self-mastery to be possible is afoot (Northern Hemisphere). Our friends in the Southern Hemisphere are experiencing the Return to Light, which is equally an optimal time for rediscovering who we truly are, which the forthcoming posts will assist with as well.

I have devoted a lot of the past year to self-inquiry, self-mastery, and embracing my own awakening, and what I've discovered is what I intend to share with you!

What you can expect:

☆ Mystical Meditation
☆ Guided Meditations
☆ Mindfulness Studies + Practices
☆ Rituals + Manifesting Tips
☆ Self-Healing Processes
☆ Mantras + Incantations
☆ Self-Discovery
☆ Support for your own personal experience
☆ Sacred Sounds + Symbols ...and how to use them
☆ and more inspired gifts along the way!

You see, Mysticism has everything to do with making conscious contact with God by utilizing the UNseverable link to It within us. I'm not religious and I don't follow any specific doctrine, only the path of the Ancients. I Am an Earth Worshiping Spirit Enthusiast who has a deep reverence for all things sacred and the Divine Purpose of walking my talk to deepen my own practice and Presence to teach others how to do the same. We all have something to learn from each other and I by no means view relationships with members as teacher + student, but rather pupil to pupil.

We are equals here and always, and in all ways.

 

I'm here to make some friends and enrich my life with by expanding my introverted circle to one that includes people from all walks of life in an effort to face my fears and overcome them entirely. The Demon I carry, and we all carry at least one, is Fear- and I'm not in the business of being afraid of my shadow. In fact, I'm interested in embracing it and allowing it to work for me instead of against me. I've been very afraid of opening myself up as I am now because of my past, but being a dedicated practitioner of Mystic Arts + Divination, I can no longer remain closed off to illusions of fear. Fear is in most cases a Liar, and when it isn't we're out of alignment with the Holy Presence we are.

If any of the following applies to you, this is for you:

☆ you're too busy for meditation or a spiritual -practice-
☆ you struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, or fear
☆ you desire diving deeper into the rabbit hole of who you are
☆ you want to align yourself with your highest potential
☆ you're ready to step into the waters of Mysticism
☆ you're a lover of all things Mystical
☆ sacred science in a sacred space awakens your senses/interests
☆ you're looking for self-help that really works 

If you're interested in learning about one or all of these topics, please be sure to  join the Circle by creating a label in your own account for this feed, such as "MinistryOfMystery" or "DivingDeep", etc. and participate every week by engaging with me in the practical application of Mysticism as outlined by each post. 

For a deeper overview, please read the next post in this series: 

The Ministry of Mystery Presents: Diving Deep into the Divine - ONE

Although this is a free offering, all members of the Circle will be given extreme discounts on any public works or services offered by myself or The Ministry of Mystery, such as the soon to launch Mystic Rose Sadhana.

My hope is that this Circle will evolve into a regularly meeting group of Mystics who have the common intention to make the world a better place. Each virtual meeting would congregate at each of the four stages of moon phases to set intentions, amplify the energy we're casting into the world, manifest our enlightened desires together, and flourish as a team of Spiritual Alchemists in service to Higher Humanity~

Please join me! The more the merrier.

 

My very most favorite hobby is immersing myself in mysticism and divination~ 

what's yours?

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.” —Meister Eckhart

Claim What's Yours

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”

―Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!

We've all been in places that we'd rather not be. But how many of us would still be there if we KNEW a fool proof way to make today's glass ceiling tomorrow's foundation?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, -or- you have to eat it to know what's in it! 

My point is that, although it's possible to read something and understand it completely, you cannot accomplish what you're intending through understanding alone. Conscious action is necessary- whether in the form of visualization, physical doing, attitude accountability, creating new habits, cutting cords with toxic relationships and substances, etc.

ॐ

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

Try something different:

Reach outside of your comfort zone

and apply your will, motivation, effort, and habits

towards what you want to create for yourself and your life.

You cannot get to where you want to be if you do not will it.

You cannot begin to move in the direction of your dreams

if you don't take it upon yourself to motivate yourself.

You cannot achieve what you want to accomplish without applying effort.

And you cannot apply effort if you keep giving in to your same old, oppressive habits.

Take responsibility for your life,

accountability for your actions and happiness,

and claim freedom now. 

I came across an amazing page today in search of something for a loved one that reminded me of the power we carry within ourselves, that most of us have forgotten about. It's the unlimited power to create anything we choose~ you can read it here.

At the above link Stefan states, "If you fail to learn to use the law of attraction, you’ll continue to struggle and manifest bad things in your life.  If you can learn to take advantage of it, you possess the ability to create and manifest anything you want in your life."

Basically, if you don't watch what you think, believe, do,  desire, or expect to the degree of abolishing destructive or debilitating subconscious patterns and ways of being, you'll continue to witness your life going in directions other than what you would want for yourself. 

There's more to manifesting than simply holding the vision in your mind, although visualization alone is extremely helpful in helping one to achieve goals.

To take advantage of the Law of Attraction:

define your dream: know what you want

get clear on what is desired

believe in your ability to manifest anything you desire

believe that it's not only possible, but already on it's way

create goals in alignment with desires and beliefs

take action in alignment with pulling the vision into physical existence

let go of the outcome while you focus on your goals

while letting go of being attached to how they manifest

  

I know it sounds easier said than done, but that's where practice comes into play.

L I T E R A L L Y, play. Have fun with it!

The more enjoyment you get out of what you're focusing on,

the more you can feel the passion you have for it and the joy it would give you,

the faster it will become real to you.

"Unless you consciously choose a different future, your past will decide it for you."

—Rod Stryker

Here's couple more powerful statements from Stefan: "If I didn’t have the success I have now, then I would have told you that it’s B.S.  But because I have undeniable evidence and have experienced it working for me first-hand, I am a believer.  I attribute the law of attraction to helping me to create everything I have in my life – the good and the bad.  I take full responsibility for everything that happens for me, the good and bad, as I truly believe that I’ve created and manifested EVERYTHING." and "The way the law of attraction works is simple:  Likes attract likes.  A vibration will attract a similar vibration. The closer the vibrational match, the stronger the magnetic pull. Whatever frequency that you put out is being pulled back towards you, or is attracted to you."

This may sound like a new age idea, woo woo, too much work, or too mystical to be practical or even real- but what do you have to lose by really applying the effort it takes to see if it works for you or not, other than something to complain about or remain in misery over? 

What's a commitment of four to six weeks of continual practice towards the life of your dreams in the grand scheme of things? It's small and doable for everyone!

The concepts I'm speaking of here have been said throughout history by some of the world's leading masterminds who have reinvented the world as we know it. The only reason it may seem so foreign is because of the agenda to keep people on the hamster wheel, which we may step off of anytime we're ready. 

If you need more proof that this concept has worked for others, you can do a quick internet search and pages upon pages of results will pop up in less than a second in most cases with account after account of the Law of Attraction working for them.

I can honestly say from my own personal experience that it does actually work. I've seen the good and the bad and it has all come from my mindset, intentions, and actions. The good shows up when I apply my ability to focus, make decisions based on what is truly best for me, and use my mind's eye to visualize what I want more of. The same is for the opposite. If my intentions are no good, I'm lazy and playing small or a victim, and my thoughts are made of piss and vinegar~ that's what I get.

It's comfortable to fall into the limited mindset of judgment, dismissal, or falling into the countless reasons of why it won't work for you. Push through those limits by reviewing the beliefs you carry around manifestation, universal laws, and anything that's outside of your current scope of awareness regarding similar subjects.

One cannot manifest what is wanted when they don't first believe that they can.

"Your very intention to keep believing, even in the face of challenges, will often be enough to carry you through any rough spots and keep you focused on the outcome you want." ―David Hooper, author of The Rich Switch - The Simple 3-Step System to Turn on Instant Wealth Using the Law of Attraction

When you have the desire and believing in yourself parts down, the action plan will almost manifest itself because your harmony with it is building momentum towards its manifestation.

A profound statement made by Napoleon Hill in his 1937 unedited edition of Think and Grow Rich, “When faith [by which he meant belief] is blended with the vibration of thought, the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to the Infinite Intelligence, as in the case of prayer.”

And more profound statements on manifesting came from Claude Bristol, author of The Magic of Believing in 1948, “We are moulded also by the thoughts of others; by what we hear in our social life, what we read in newspapers, magazines, and books, what we hear in the movies, the theatre, and on the radio; even by chance remarks from the conversation of bystanders --and these thoughts bombard us constantly. Some of them that accord with our own inmost thoughts and also open the way to greater visions in our life are helpful. But often there are thoughts that are upsetting, that weaken our self-confidence, and turn us away from our high purposes. It is these outside thoughts that are the trouble makers, and later I shall point out how you can keep free of them." "However, I would like to point out that hard work alone will not bring success. The world is filled with people who have worked hard but have little to show for it. Something more than hard work is necessary: It is creative thinking and firm belief in your ability to execute your ideas. The successful people in history have succeeded through their thinking. Their hands were merely helpers to their brains.” ―Claude M. Bristol, The Magic of Believing

Believe in You.

Why?

Although I've always really known the truth, the truth shines brighter than ever today.

Oftentimes we make excuses for what we don't want to face by saying "it is what it is" 

and "everything happens for a reason", but that's not true at all.

It's always what we make of it and sometimes things happen for no reason at all.

Our desire for power and control leads us to believe that there are explanations for everything that happens, for our origins, for where we're going next, for why bad things happen in the world, for why good things happen.

The universe isn't in place to teach us lessons or bless us~ it's here to teach us how to be,
to create, to explore, and to realize the depths within us are more vast than we can imagine.

As Above, So Below.

Is it so hard to not need to know why? Why anything, why everything?

Why not just be?

I Am Authentic

How am I so happy and yet so sad at the same time?

What’s wrong with wanting all my reasons to rhyme?

I look in the mirror grateful that I survived

and simultaneously wonder how I’m alive

How much suffering can one person take?

If I’m not being crucified, I’m burned at the stake.

What’s wrong with wanting all suffering to end?

Why is that most only have one true friend, if that?

How many people must I be forced to walk away from?

Why do I want to feel when I’ve always wanted to be numb?

What has changed in me that’s causing this revolution?

How did I break free from the institution…

that broke me into a million tiny pieces

and told me salvation lies in my thesis?

 ➳

My worth isn’t found in textbooks or assignments

or in someone else’s interpretation of my alignment

with who I know, where I'm going, and where I’ve been

or the balance between my yang and my yin.

I determine my value and where I’m going,

whether I’m growing or whether I’m towing

baggage from thoughts I refuse to heal

or letting them go in order to reveal

exactly who I Am.

Limitless, powerful, sexual, and expansive~

I Am.
