The Naked Mystic: Peace In The Middle East and St. Francis

Last updated on: September 21, 2012 at 9:43 am By David Matthew Brown

September 21st, 2012 is UN World Day of Peace. Yet as we look around we see lots of unrest in the world and very little peace. As many of you know already peace begins with you, so may we pray for the world, for the middle East, and Globe. However you pray, whether you have a God or no God, whether you believe or not, however you can offer a thought of peace to the globe. Thoughts are prayers- so... Read more

The Naked Mystic: From Tantrums to Tantra

Last updated on: September 18, 2012 at 4:23 pm By David Matthew Brown

Tantra is the divine exploring the divine. In Tantra the experience is new now, everything up until that moment, meaning "bad day, good day, trouble at work, kids driving you crazy, lack, not good enough," slowly fall away and two divine, whole beings sit in front of each other, eyes wide open, and allow their breaths to become one and guide them. Like yoga practice. Open, free, and embracing the oneness. Read more

The Naked Mystic: “What If” just a rambling

Last updated on: September 17, 2012 at 12:22 pm By David Matthew Brown

We spend lots of time thinking about the path. Or a path, or spiritual vs human, and yet we negate that the word “human” simply means GOD-MAN. So it is not so much about whether we are human or spiritual, whether we are religious or not, whether there is a God or no God, whether we believe or don’t, all of that is a thinking man’s way of living. Living a life in thought, labels, bias, judgements, creating a right... Read more

The Naked Mystic: The Mystic

Last updated on: September 16, 2012 at 1:21 pm By David Matthew Brown

A mystic is simply one who is connected to the whole. The Mother of nature. She grows everything moment to moment and is in constant relationship with the Father. Both are intertwined in the whole. A mystic allows life to unfold as it is, and knows and discovers life. So essentially the life you THINK you know is just a thought. Your inner mystic doesn’t have to think to know life. Read more

The Naked Mystic: The Search For Enlightenment

Last updated on: September 10, 2012 at 1:13 pm By David Matthew Brown

The Search for Enlightenment There once was a poor man who lead a donkey every day across the border from one kingdom to another. The border guards suspected that he was smuggling something, so each day as the man passed the border they carefully searched the man and the donkey’s saddlebags, but they never did find anything.
