The Mystic Show

We began by continuing with the section called Saints, Sages, and Saviors: The Law of Service, from James Allen’s book titled From Poverty to Power. (excerpt below) In discussing some of James Allen’s points, Chris read a very short Zen story called “Is it So?” from the book No Water, No Moon by Bhagwan Shree […]

Our guest began his spiritual practice the same year that your host was born – 1972! Tony Murdock, meditation teacher and retreat facilitator, shared gobs of valuable wisdom from his many years of meditation and spiritual practice. He told his story of being “led” to several spiritual individuals after leaving home as a young adult to travel […]

Life is difficult, especially when certain individuals go on and on creating huge problems for you. If it gets really out of hand, you must let them go, even if it’s a friend or family member, because your need to develop a calm mind is paramount on your spiritual journey. But first, Chris discussed his interpretation of […]

Today started with a wonderful exchange between two unborn twins: In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.” “Nonsense” said […]

After an exciting announcement about what you’ll get by signing up for Chris’s Behind-the-Scenes emails, he read a few more peoples answers to this question he posted on Facebook: If you had 60 seconds to address every human being on earth, what message would you give? Colleen: When your mission in life is peace and equality for […]

Fun and deep chat with David Gaggin, author of The Endless Journey: A Unique Perspective on Mankind’s Origin, Purpose and Ultimate Destiny!

We began the section called Entering Into The Infinite, from James Allen’s book titled From Poverty to Power. Here are some of the quotes from this section which Chris discussed a bit: “The spirit of man is inseparable from the Infinite, and can be satisfied with nothing short of the Infinite, and the burden of […]

Chris first mentioned that he feels so fortunate that his spiritual guide is still in the New Jersey area! There’s nothing like meditating with the Master 😉 Then he read a couple answers he received on social media to an interesting question he posted: If you had 60 seconds to address every human being on earth, […]

Chris began with a simple idea from his spiritual guide regarding Knowledge, Experience and Becoming. Knowledge is OK but without being backed by personal experience it’s like paper money without the gold backing – worthless. Another level up, if you have all kinds of wonderful spiritual experiences but are not becoming more divinized, then what […]

It’s one thing to pursue someone else to hold them accountable, and it’s another thing to live your life free of the ongoing mental preoccupation of a continued battle. Sometimes it’s possible to do both simultaneously, but sometimes it’s better to walk away – preserve your peace of mind – move on – let it go! Chris […]

Chris started with the idea of an individual evolving from Animal-Man, to Human-Man, and ultimately to Divine-Man. Most humans only chase pleasure for their 5 senses, even though there is an infinite depth of beauty in our hearts and minds – higher realizations, higher pleasure/Bliss, higher dimensions, other worlds, and who knows what else. Two relevant […]

Most humans want their body to live forever. A desire for immortality is natural in a way, but achieving it on the material/physical plane is simply not possible. We all know that the body cannot live forever; it will grow old and die. But the beauty of true spirituality is that we CAN become immortal, […]

Today we continued the section called The Two Masters, Self and Truth, from James Allen’s book From Poverty to Power. James Allen writes, “Do you harbor thoughts of suspicion, enmity, envy, lust, pride, or do you strenuously fight against these?” Thoughts are more subtle than actions. Yet on the level of thought each of us has […]

This was a difficult episode for me to create. My beloved spiritual guide of the past eleven years has passed away. More specifically, he attained Mahasamadhi (the great and final samadhi; the act of leaving one’s body when his or her work on earth is finished to fully merge with the divine source. This is […]

Today we began the section called The Two Masters, Self and Truth, from James Allen’s book titled From Poverty to Power. Here is an excerpt from today’s reading: “There is one quality which preeminently distinguishes the man of Truth from the man of self, and that is humility. To be not only free from vanity, […]

Today we finished the section called The Power of Meditation, from James Allen’s book titled From Poverty to Power. After reading the final part of this section, Chris commented on a few points contained in the following excerpt: Said the divine Gautama, the Buddha, “He who gives himself up to vanity, and does not give […]

We continued reading from the section called The Power of Meditation, from James Allen’s book titled From Poverty to Power. “He whose awakening consciousness has become alive to its lofty possibilities, who is beginning to shake off the darkness of ignorance in which the world has enveloped, rises before the stars have ceased their vigil, and, grappling with the darkness within his soul, […]

Today we began the section called The Power of Meditation, from James Allen’s book titled From Poverty to Power. “Spiritual meditation is the pathway to divinity. It is the mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace. Every saint has climbed it; every sinner must sooner or […]

Listen to this nice chat with Germaine Parra, Author of Searching for the Caravan. And I like the subtitle of her book: A Reconciliation with Love, Science and Divinity. Germaine Parra Germaine left the confines of her small town at eighteen years old with $35 in her pocket, the determination to broaden her education, and dreams […]

We completed the section called The Secret of Abounding Happiness, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power. Wonderful messages given to us by the author! He again stresses selfishness and self-forgetfulness, and the effect each has on your true happiness. We can all aspire toward unselfish love. “Aspiration or prayer is desire turned upward.” Chris […]

We began the section called The Secret of Abounding Happiness, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power.

Many of the poor long to be rich, and, “Many who are rich, having gratified every desire and whim, suffer from ennui and […]

We completed the section called The Secret of Health, Success and Power, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power.
