BE on the lookout for my new book: "HUMAN BECOMING" by Sam Peralta

..."Mature religious consciousness is thus not possible without three paths: psychological growth, spiritual progress, and mystical union. The psychological path shows us what helps us become healthy human beings and have more effective relationships. Spiritual progress means letting go of an inflated ego and becoming compassionate. Mystical union cuts through dualisms to release the divine spark in us and in the universe and acknowledges them as one and the same. It is interesting to note that a mystic experience is one in which the sense of time and place disappear. This is precisely what happens to us when we find our true calling. We are absorbed so fully that we lose track of time."
