Mystical Musings

Myron McClellan & Lawrence Phillipswww.podomatic.com
You are invited to join Myron McClellan and Lawrence Phillips for a monthly gathering of spiritual renewal in the company of the like-minded.

Mystical Musings is a celebration of the sacred that promotes growth and an evolution of consciousness. The musing doesn't present doctrine or dogma, but rather explores the mystical dimensions of life and spirituality that support you in connecting with the Divine.

Myron and Lawrence present a specific theme each month—an idea or issue that arises organically in their lives and in the lives of their colleagues, students, clients, and friends—and engage with this subject by touching on a range of spiritual traditions and creative explorations.

They lead inspiring meditation and easy movement, present improvisational music, offer homilies, read poetry, and infuse the proceedings with humor, sensuality, new insight, and wise counsel for honoring the body, expanding the mind, and tuning into the spirit. These monthly gatherings provide a contemporary expression of the spiritual impulse that resonates with people of good will everywhere.

The Splendor of the Simple

In our day, with Guidance so available to us, we can streamline our prayers and practices by intending rather than efforting. We can allow and not labor. What often complicates matters is the chattering mind and the fearful inner child. We delay the manifestation of daily expansion by making too big a fuss over the hows and whys of personal co-creation and by succumbing to doubt. We will discuss how we can let go at a very deep level. This is an era of exciting and relatively easy creation with ...

Mother's Day Musing on.....Mothers

Mother Earth, Mother Mary, Mother Love, Male Mother, Quantum Mother: We will look at these and perhaps other manifestations of the Divine Feminine in the context of the radical evolution we are experiencing. And we will ask if there is emerging in 2012 a new role for the Mother--and we do think there is!

Mystic Halloween 2012

The Halloween-time of the year has for many centuries been considered a time when the veil between heaven and earth is very thin indeed. We can, it is said, most easily at this time access other dimensions of consciousness. This is an exciting time for mystics all over the world because we know that spiritual growth often involves moving into exalted states of awareness (other dimensions of consciousness) for transformational information and bringing it back to be used in everyday life. In 2012 ...

Spiritual Generosity

We are emptying ourselves that we may receive the bounty promised in the coming shift of consciousness. What do we do with this abundance in terms of blessing the world especially in the face of such recent devastation and tragedy in our country? What is called for now is evoking radical grace through inner silence and meditation and at the right time, right action. Join us in exploring mystic practices for the giving of the gifts we receive. How do we up-level our practice of Spiritual Generosi...

The Sum of the Resonances: Creating Coherence

We are, in every moment, the sum of the resonances of body, soul, mind, and heart. We are also the resonances of our masculine and feminine sides. As we grow, all these components of being are shifting and coming into harmony. The cycle of harmony and disharmony is the way we move forward on the spiritual path. In times of harmony there is a coherence among all our parts. This is when we feel strong and compassionate, peaceful, joyful, and optimistic. When coherence is lost, we are singing the "...

Embodied Resurrection

The great mystic secret of the Easter event is that Jesus returned not as a vision but in a body. What was he trying to teach us about ourselves in making a physical return? We discuss this in a new light because of recent revelations, and we extend our thoughts to questions about how each of us as well as the earth herself is experiencing resurrection. All is being made new in the New Era, and the Easter event contains more transformational information than we have known before. The information...

Initiation

The radical transformation afoot today is a global initiation of tremendous significance for human civilization. Initiation is a nodal point in collective consciousness, a moment out of history, a leap out of time into Deep Presence, leaving behind belief systems, emotional trauma, mental frameworks and even spiritual limitations. Initiation is a trust-based leap into the Great Unknown. Many of us in our community are experiencing Initiation with all its promises and demands. We will Muse about ...

Holding Our Own Hearts, Holding Others'

At this time of the year we celebrate the wonders and joys of love, for others, for ourselves and for the Creator. We celebrate romance and we celebrate love beyond romance.

We will suggest some ways of holding our own hearts , and our own inner family, that enable us to hold in love the hearts of others. When we appreciate ourselves as a m...

Shift 2012

The SHIFT has begun, as so many of you know! very exciting indeed! We are right now in the backsplash of the 2012 Solstice, feeling very transformative, sometimes a roller coaster, sometimes the peace beyond understanding. To understand it better, and to have some words for it, we will look at some metaphors of radical change such as the serpent shedding his skin. We will also offer a 2012 version of the search for the Holy Grail. And we will bid a grateful farewell to the cycle we are leaving, ...

Love, Calling To Love: Intentionallity in our new Era

As mystics we are committed to leading a conscious, intentional life. We learn to balance a dependency on Grace with creating what we want in our lives. In this Musing we will speak of a new formula, appropriate to our New Era, for manifesting what we want on all levels of our being, utilizing the energy of the fullness of Love and a Sacred Resiliency.

The Mystical Use of Personal Will in the New Era

The focus of this Musing as well as the core of the many beautiful teachings received by the Mystical Musers who traveled to John of God in Brazil in March 2013 NE (ie New Era). Finding new ways to use personal will to support others and self, Myron will speak for the group, emphasizing New Era empowerment of sacred volition. We will look at the differences between mystical willing and secular willfulness, personal will in the context of surrender to the Divine Will and embodied will in daily li...

Beginner's Mind and the Spiral Nature of Spiritual Growth

January is a time when we let got the old and welcome in the new; a wonderful time to practice what Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki calls Zen Mind, Beginners Mind. He recommends a daily practice of releasing our minds to the winds, cleaning the slate, a mental state he calls "not-knowing". This puts us into clarity no matter what comes up (on a good day, that is). And what comes up, we recognize, is often something, pleasant or not, that we have dealt with before, because all our issues seem to recur ...

Christmas Gift to a Troubled World

Our holiday gathering in which we honor the Christ event and its message of Oneness and Joy. We will sing carols, listen to live music, enjoy deep silence together and muse on some New Era definitions of Christ Consciousness and how to attain and sustain it. This is a non-sectarian celebration, as always, and so we welcome everyone who wants to expand awareness during the holy season of Christmas and Hanukkah. We will also suggest some ways we can give to ourselves spiritually and emotionally wh...

Sustaining Presence during the Dark Times

The New Era offers us the opportunity to call for joy to be our basic state of being. We are deeply supported in this request by the evolution toward Light that we are experiencing. This state of joy does not eliminate times of challenge, frustration, and impatience, nor does it erase all fear, anger, and grief. Despite the exuberance we can feel in this moment, we are still living in the illusion of separateness, and that causes pain. The question we address in this Musing is how to face dark t...

Sustaining Presence

Sustaining Presence The spiritual momentum of the moment continues, moving ever faster. How do we keep up? How do we sustain our sense of Presence as time flies by and distractions multiply? We have received some Guidance about what is needed on all levels--physical, emotional, mental, spiritual--to keep ourselves grounded in Divine Presence despite chaos in the world and within ourselves. We offer some new twists in our exponentially growing times.

Mystery and Wonder

Mystery and Wonder: the Heart of the Mystic Path We are called into the mystical by experiences of awe and wonder at the majesty of the Divine. We are amazed, humbled, and elated. We rejoice in the mystery, seek to live in it more and more fully. We feed our awareness by spending time with nature and art and close friends, we meditate to access over and over the deepest parts of the mystery. We come to look at the everyday, the ordinary, as magical, awesome, and beyond beautiful. We give thanks ...
