Let's rap about what it means to be a mystic. No, we're not talking about middle earth or fairies... it's the direct experiential knowing of oneness with God beyond thought or theory. Mystic is the realization of the union, the 'religion' is the way that realization finds its form; in my case, through the Way of Christ, or, the spirituality of Jesus.   ***Sign up to receive the weekly email: https://thisiscurrent.org *** For 1:1 spiritual direction, email Luke@LukeBricker.com *** Let's hang on social: https://instagram.com/the_spiritual_nomad *** Luke Bricker is an ordained minister and Spiritual Director at Current Collective.
