The mystics meditate. Mark 13:37 I say to you and to all, Watch. Watch means become awaken. Make thine eye single. Seek the kingdom It’s within. Woe to those who do not enter within. The prodigal son is the “Christian” or the religious man. He is called back to meditation where the “God” mind is. The mind that has no “man” thought. Christian can’t read the Bible because Proverbs 1:6. They don’t know any ancient sayings.

In one of your videos you stated that Mary, the mother of Jesus, as "having a bit of a reputation." Would you clarify that?

Mysticism is (re)union with the Creating Force...whatever name you (Ego) need to assign it...once you add on the Christ label, it devolves into Bible rhetoric.

Thank you for your more focused approach. At this point I do believe mysticism is result of the revelation of Jesus in our own hearts, and the more we work on being obedient and studying his ways in prayer through obedience, we become mystical at least that’s what it looks like to the world around us looking at us, I have subscribed I thank you again I’ve been watching past videos your testimony, and more who has encouraged me thanks again and God bless you in the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit

Hey :) could you please make examples of what the insights are that you get from the bible, that you then ask god about, meditate about, etc.? If its not too personal. I don't get anything without examples tbh

Hi :) what about the rosary? I tried meditating for years and it never did anything for me. Then I started praying the rosary and I reach meditative state in minutes and I LOVE it. Also, it is proven that it lowers your heart rate rather quickly and is a more effective way to get into a relaxed state than a lot of other relaxing techniques. ❤

🆒!!..💙🌎✌🏽😇.

love it

Wonderful explanation 🔥🔥🔥

Thoughts on homosexual orientation from a mystics perspective?

I KNOW you are onto a true winner with 'Christian Mysticism' and it's a relatively untapped topic here on TH-cam. Please, persevere with this channel!

Thank you so, so much. Our lives are similar, yet our paths are different. Yet, we have both independently come to the same conclusion. All I can say is keep up the good work, please do not give up on this channel, and may God give you that peace and serenity to which the world simply cannot give. ❤🙏

Hope is a tough one for sure. Sometimes good deeds don't amount to good. I try to keep it realistic. I recently herd a great interview discussing the Babylonian versus the Genesis text. It's a great analysis and a thought provoking interview: th-cam.com/video/eXP7rpDKKR0/w-d-xo.html

"The Roots of Christian Mysticism " is an amazing intro to dozens of the most influential Christian mystics. You will not regret it.

Love this.

Thank you, I discovered this channel today and it is full of honesty and truth. You have the ability to understand what I really need, giving me the answer I was looking for long time in a simple and effective way. I like a lot this meditation in particular, very liberating. Do you advice some resource in particular to get more deep into Christian LKM? Thank you

Thank you for clearing up the misconceptions surrounding this. I hope our brothers and sisters will try to understand, and tap into a deeper and more profound relationship with God that we know will deepen their faith.

Totally Awesome Truth. I've been reading the Bible Spiritually for a number of years. It has enriched my understanding of God, the world,other people and myself. Being a believer in a mystical understanding of God's word, Nature, experiences, and circumstances has taught me that God can speak through anything and everything in his creation.

Hi Jon, what would be the best introductory book of yours that I should start with? Thanks in advance

Hey Jon, I'm new to your channel. Though I could be considered "new age" (I'm not a big fan of any labels). But I do absoluety have a personal relationship with Jesus. No disrespect intended here at all. But could you please clarify, could people like John the Baptist or even Moses not be considered as "enlightened" beings. If so, did there enlightment come to them through Jesus, as explained in this video?

Thanks…🌹🙏✨for the wonderful explanation. I think for every individual it is a journey in… yourself with the Divine connection. With the power of Love ❤️ and the forces of our Lights 🌞🌖✨Am-en🌹🙏✨

Been watching your videos for the past 2 hours now and I feel myself drawn to Christ again. This fresh lens has brought me a new awakening. Thank you.

I look forward to listening to this series! As I am wrapping up my MTS program, I have recently found myself unable to stop thinking about how closely Pentecostalism (the tradition I grew up in and continue to practice) is connected with Roman Catholic/Eastern Orthodox mysticism. I have been digging into texts like Daniel Castelo's "Pentecostalism as a Christian Mystical Tradition", along with other texts to compare the lives and practices of the medieval mystics to some of the early American Pentecostals... I cannot stop wondering what applied Christian mysticism could mean for ministry to spiritual seekers, Buddhists, etc... I look forward to hearing what you have to say on the topic of Christian mysticism, especially with the way you have made it very practical by applying the ideas to Bible study.

Glad to chance upon your channel! This is exactly my path nowadays, mostly contamplative mysticism qnd clCarmelite spirituality. Subbed!

Thank you SO much for this series. It has truly been life changing.

I would be interested in having an in-depth conversation about what is or isn’t Christian or biblical about this form of Christian belief and practice.

Please, I beg of you to keep spreading the heart of Christianity. True Christianity lies in mysticism. The connection with the source of existence must not be lost. Never stop what you are doing no matter what.

Really loving and appreciating your Holy Mystical Bible Study Jon! You have such a beautiful way in your videos and writings (Love Jesus: A Field Manual btw) to prepare and enable viewers/readers for the spiritual journey right where they are at!

Wow, so life and perspective changing!!

Thank you very much for this instructional video. It has helped me a lot.

This is wonderful teaching, Jon. Thank you. It's very helpful to think of Gratitude as a "practice" rather than as a fleeting emotional response. A practice I like that works similarly, I think, is conciously remember good things and meditating on them until they are fixed in your memory. It really helps counteract all the scary or frustrating memories that cling to us like burrs.😊

This is wonderful teaching. Thank you so much. 🙏

Man, I have listened to this 3 times already, there is so much here to contemplate and repent about

"John 15: Remain in me and I in you " ..... Me is your I Amness. Call it Jesus if you want but the Stillness has no name. "Before Abraham was, I Am"

Nothing has to change in order to Be. I Am, justt Being is the highest form of meditation as recommended by the likes of Robert Adams and Nisargadatta Maharaj

I wish you success, Jon.

Mysticism is ultimately not about understanding christian doctrine and the Bible, but rather about directly experiencing and communing with Christ and God. You emphasize intellectual understanding way to much in order even to get close to proper mysticism.

❤You said in the video something like "christian mysticism disciplines help you become more united with ." Hhowever it is my belief that all men and women, even atheists, are already perfectly united with God. Not because of our own works but because of Jesus perfect work that has been imparted to us along with his righteousness. So it's not that belief in Jesus and repentance of sins helps you unite with God more. But instead, it helps you become more aware of your perfect union with God, and just helps you know God more and know yourself more. What are your thoughts on this? ❤
