The Mystic Show

We continued the section called The Secret of Health, Success and Power, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power. The author tells a vivid story of a man who tried unsuccessfully with various doctors and methods to be cured of a painful disease. Then he had a dream which presented him with the […]

We are fortunate again to welcome Brian Jones! (Spiritual Aspirant and Teacher, Artist and Musician) Brian helps us understand what impressions are, how they cover the heart, how they cause our reactions to situations, as well as how they become the root causes of our tendencies and habits, etc. And he even explains how to […]

We began the section called The Secret of Health, Success and Power, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power. The author initially expounds on the idea that our physical health is the cumulative product of our thinking. In fact, this has been proven in science many times. “There is no protection to compare […]

We welcome Brian Jones! (Spiritual Aspirant and Teacher, Artist and Musician) Brian shared some of his experiences from his early life and what led him to meditation. Like so many others including Chris, his desire to learn meditation/spirituality basically started with frustration – internally knowing that “there’s more to life than this,” but not knowing […]

We completed the section called The Silent Power of Thought: Controlling and Directing One’s Forces, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power. The author mentioned, and then Chris discussed, the idea that minds resonate with other minds. “Every thought you think is a force sent out, and in accordance with its nature and […]

We are joined again by healer, channel and author of David’s Guidance: A Book of Light, Joanie Eisinger! We discussed pain, “bad” experiences, suffering and their true meaning and purpose in our lives. Each of us experiences so much pain in many different forms, and we usually spend a lot of time attempting to AVOID […]

We welcome Mystic Maria!!! (Great friend, member of Pause Your Life, Certified Dale Carnegie Instructor, and award winning speaker) We began with discussing how selfishness moves an individual away from spirituality. Maria recounted her days of teaching Sunday school to kids and explaining that when it comes to decision-making, there are usually selfish choices and […]

We continued with the section called The Silent Power of Thought: Controlling and Directing One’s Forces, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power. The author comments on individuals who fail even when success is placed right in their lap, and tells us that this is because they dwell in negative conditions of mind […]

Chris began by reminding you that you are a mystic in training 😉 Each of us has this little voice inside which says, “there’s more to life than this…” And spirituality says Go inside, meditate, have time for your Self. There’s a deeper meaning to our dance of human existence. It’s an adventure, and it’s for lions – […]

While watching the great DVD The Shift, we were told that the most important thing in spirituality is to focus on our connection to divinity, yet we also heard that serving others is where real spirituality is.  How are we supposed to do both? Aren’t they contradictory? Here are a few ideas: Giving, in its […]

We finished the section called The Way Out of Undesirable Conditions, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power. The author talks about employers who may be having difficulty holding on to good employees. Of course the answer is not simply to pay them higher wages, but for the employer to change himself – […]

Chris talked about one of the simplest and most profound statements given by his spiritual guide – “Love Him Who Loves All.” What does it really mean? And how can we actually do it? OK- who loves all? God. And one of the ways God/Universe loves us is by continually streaming life-force energy into our […]

We continued reading and discussing from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power, continuing with the third section called The Way Out of Undesirable Conditions. Some good points we discussed: If you desire better surroundings and possessions, ennoble your present surroundings and possessions; by doing so you will eventually rise above them. Gratitude […]

We continued reading from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power, beginning the third section called The Way Out of Undesirable Conditions. The author first discusses The Law – the ceaseless movement of cause and effect, which nothing in existence can be divorced from. Everything in existence is intertwined in one big interdependent system […]

We finished the second chapter called The World a Reflex of Mental States, from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power. Chris discussed three main points: As we clothe events with the drapery of our own thought, so likewise do we clothe the objects of the visible world around us. The author gives several […]

We continued reading from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power, beginning the second chapter called The World a Reflex of Mental States. Chris discussed three main points: Everything outside yourself is mirrored and colored according to your own inner state of consciousness. Life circumstances can only affect you as far as you […]

We continued reading from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power, finishing the first chapter called The Lesson of Evil. The evil he writes about is rooted in ignorance – ignorance of the true nature of things. And if we were ready and willing to learn its lessons, it would vanish away. The […]

Happy to welcome healer, channel and author of David’s Guidance: A Book of Light, Joanie Eisinger! First we learned how Joanie experienced her own personal awakening years ago. Then we discussed how Joanie now helps individuals overcome various obstacles in their life and gain awareness and wisdom at the same time. We talked about healing […]

We begin reading from James Allen’s first book titled From Poverty to Power. Chris read the foreword, which brings us back to what spirituality is all about – the practice of looking within yourself for answers, guidance, love and God, etc. Then we get into chapter one: The Lesson of Evil. We read about half of […]

We began with an entry from 365 Tao called Ascent, where the author mentions that our spiritual progress is often so slow that we may feel the effort futile. “No person ever leapt to heaven in one bound.” “Success in spiritual life is measured not by spectacular events but by daily devotion. This iron will, this deep […]

We begin by reading a story, or metaphor really, called The Poison Arrow. Chris recently participated in a meetup where the participants read and discussed this passage, which was actually used by the Sakyamuni Buddha to teach his disciples not to waste time on metaphysical questions. (Dr. Christopher Stepien hosts The White Elephant Spirituality Group […]

First Chris commented on the Memoir that Lily L. Allen wrote about her husband and author James Allen. She describes him as a wonderful spiritual being, and mentions that he never had a bad word to say about anyone. This made Chris think about all of us who have done or said many stupid things […]

First we read the passage titled ‘To Get Rich Through Creation’ from our Genevieve Behrend book Your Invisible Power. The author advises us that prayer is not hypnotism, and you should never try to take over the mind of another individual. You are simply thinking into God or First Cause with the understanding that- “If a thing is […]

We started today by reading two short passages from our Genevieve Behrend book Your Invisible Power. The first selection is titled ‘Scientific Thinking – Positive Thought: Suggestions for Practical Application.’ The author tells us that Five O’clock in the morning is the best time to meditate. Retiring early the night before helps, especially if, just before bed, […]

First we read the passage titled ‘Faith with Works- What It Has Accomplished’ from our Genevieve Behrend book Your Invisible Power. The author tells us that our ideas (our goals), if we continue to think about them and meditate upon them, will attract other ideas from other people, places, etc. And when these ideas come together it facilitates […]
