What is a Mystic ?

I have always wanted to know what a Mystic is. I decided to look up the word to see what it means. I don’t quite know why I have always wondered, but I have, so here is what it means.

A mystic is a person who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or who believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that we are beyond the intellect.

Now that I know what a mystic is, my curiosity has been sufficed.

Now, I want to talk about life. What do we think about life? Do we think it is good knowing that one day it will be taken from us? The thought of it terrifies me. Just the thought of not being able to breathe, move, talk, walk, sing, shout, and have fun bothers me. I don’t know if it should or shouldn’t, but when I think about it, it’s the thought of not being remembered for the good things in one’s life. I know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD, and in His presence, there’s fullness of joy.

I suppose if we have a good time now, we do all of the things we want to do, and in the end, there will not be any regrets. You may be wondering why I am talking like this. This is something that comes across my mind every once in a while; it has been this way since I was a kid. I didn’t understand it then, and I most certainly don’t understand it now. Maybe it is because eternity was put in our hearts before we were born. Sometimes I think about how it is going to be in heaven with people I have never met in my life. Just thinking about that gives me a visual of people getting to know one another. Do you ever think about that?

Well, now that I have taken care of that thought, I want to talk about marriage. Marriage is a union between two people who vow to spend the rest of their lives with one another because they feel that they can’t live without one another. Sometimes it will work out that way, but sometimes it doesn’t. Love has a part in all of it. It is a crazy thing how one minute two people can be so in love, and the next minute they can’t stand one another. It shouldn’t be that way, but things happen unawares. Love can be blind. It can make you overlook things that you should see about a person. It can make you do crazy things, like dye your hair an outrageous color because the other likes it. But through it all, if you want it to, love will prevail. What do you think about love and marriage?

These are just random thoughts that are popping up in my mind. I just want to talk. I know I am just rambling, but I have nothing else to do, and I am bored. Sitting here watching reruns of the Jeffersons, thinking about how I used to watch it with my mother and grandfather. Those were the days. Do you ever just sit and think about the days when you were a kid and didn’t have a care in the world? Those were the times when everything was simple in the world, and time went by slowly. running and playing is all we had to do on the weekends, but Monday morning came quick. It was as if Summer was never going to come, and it was as if it would take Springbreak forever to come. What are some of your memories of those times being a kid? Well, I guess I must go now. I have some studying to do. Until next time, see ya. have a great weekend.
