My Answer to "how you define "mystic"

Magical/mystical things that have happened to me via projecting as a Mystic can shock me.. Some of the experiences can not be voiced. Other wise, I might be carried of in a white van with a man in a white coat to the mental health unit! :-O

Mysticism is not for the faint heart or lazy layman. (Not saying all men are lazy) More to the point of man kind, we can be generally lazy in keeping up with the Earths needs. In fact, I believe, we dam well abuse it... Let’s not go there here on this thread. I will be here all day!

Some of my mystical experiences make me cry for hours....
Some make me laugh for hours...

Fortunate because I have vision and insight into matters that concern Humans, Earth and the Universe. Some of the magic I encounter can shock me in a happy and sad sense. I am dedicated to learning more and more about the sacred sciences and religions upon the earth and its history.. I know a life time is not enough I want to be here for ever and keep learning... And yet some times I would be happy to swung right of the great wheel of life!

Mystic?
Skills that I have as a Mystic and in my raising have now been disciplined as is subject matter within mainstream education. IE The discipline of History, Math’s and English etc...When I say that I have educated my Inherent mysticism, what I mean here is that my upbringing was a bit, let’s say, randomly hit and miss and that I was a rebellious student.

I have learned about the world and its state of affairs. I have learned how to make herbal concoctions I have learned the Art of Massage and especially Meridian Massage which is where EFT originates from...

As a child I was also a learned student of an Aboriginal Shaman whom is no longer with us on earth but continues to affect my every day learning. I was taught the no 13 was a Shaman number because of 13 moons in a year and other things that I could take all day writing about. Its no surprise to me then, that I was fortunate to get a home by the Sea after being raised in the Mid lands until I was 31 and my house no that I have settled in is the number 13.. The no 13 features in my world very often..

So MY stic isms as in other isms is hard to describe because it can be interpreted by the Individual as you say in your post above. I feel because that is what mysticism is and what it becomes. An individuals learning process. It’s been a long learning curve and a half that I have had and worth more life times than of one person which has a knock on effect, if you like, to everything in existence in a persons world. I suppose we could get into genetics’ here.. EEK Nooooooo I will never shut up...

I have been raised to explore life to its fullness to delve into energies and experiences that others may find shocking. I have been raised to be able to 'read' life with my senses and I have been raised to look further than the edge of the planet for knowledge. Planetary - Psychology.

My Grand ma tells me the women in her time lived of the land and worked with the seasons. Reaping harvests upon their small holdings. Making use of the herbs and potions the earth has to offer at harvest times. Watching and reading the movements of the Sun and moon, watching what Venus was going to do next. Although a fantastic herbalist I am unable to advise as a service due to legislation some years back about dispensing herbal concoctions publicly. I didn't bother to register and did not want to go in that direction an way. There are many fantastic, Herbalist in the world.

As far as I am concerned, my self as a Mystic enters into an agreement with self. No dualism and is to stay on the/a sacred path of enlightenment. This has been agreed by many generations in my family as the Welsh Men (My Grandma is Welsh) have Druid and Priests history on my Grandmas Family tree.... No women Druids those days apparently - my Grandma tells me, that there is no such thing as a female Druid and laughs when you ask her about one. She has a Forget me not pressed in a book that she was given by her Great Grandfather, she giggles when you ask her about female druids of today and what she has learned about druids in the 21st Century. Grandma does tell me though that Sect’s like the Druids and Freemason were an excuse to keep the women from the knowledge that their men were being men and that had nothing to do with women. She has some wonderfully funny stories.... She is one to say boys will be boys and girls will be girls, as said alike east and west - never the Twain shall meet. I just want to add here part of me agrees with her, but then its not her that is active in society in the 21st Century.

The word Mystic my Grandma shares with me and I tend to agree with is one who respects life and its mystery above all else. One who will learn to keep the earth safe and make use of the resources that the earth and universe has to offer. Not bleed it dry.. For example oil, diamonds, lead, tin and many more. We won't go into Religious subject matter here

I could go on but time will elude me as it usually does when I am sharing about my world... Enough of my babble.. Onwards and upwards.. 

I would also like to add before I do finally get on with my work and stop[ babbling, that I feel Mysticism is life and life is a meditation........ ongoing

Thank you Nanan for you have shown me contentment:)
