TEOSOFÍA MÍSTICA

MYSTIC Theosophy

The Theosophist, August 1989


As researchers we can equate Truth with mysticism mystical theosophy of the perennial philosophy identified by Happold in his book Mysticism.
"Generally speaking, mysticism has its source in what is the raw material of every religion and is the inspiration for many of the philosophies, poetry, art and music. It is a consciousness of something invisible above and beyond everything you see. In the mystic developed this consciousness is present in an intense and highly specialized. The mystical element enters the common forms of religious experience when religious feelings beyond their rational content, that is, when the hidden items not rational, unconscious life predominate and determine the emotional and intellectual attitude. The true mystic is a normal extension of consciousness, a release of latent powers and an extension of vision, so that aspects of truth that are investigated by the rational intellect, he revealed. Both by sentiment as by the thought, the mystic perceives an immanence of the temporal in the eternal and the eternal in the temporal. The religious mystic is a direct experience of Presence of God. Though he may not be able to describe in words, although it can not logically be able to demonstrate its validity, for the mystic experience is totally and absolutely valid and is surrounded by a certainty. Although the reader's first reaction is of I am totally satisfied skepticism. However, even at this early stage I would ask where this is done yourself these questions: What is the nature of Reality, that which ultimately is? far reaches us ... do you we know or we think we know depends on what we can see it with our very limited line of thinking?. Could it be a possibility at least if our line of thinking we saw a broadening of the completely different?

Mystics have not only been found in all ages in all parts of the world and in all religious systems, but that mysticism has been expressed similar or identical forms wherever the mystical consciousness has been present. Therefore it is sometimes called the Perennial Philosophy. From its experience and its reflection on it have come the following explanations:
1. The phenomenal world of matter and individual consciousness is only a partial reality and is the manifestation of a Divine Field in which all partial realities have their existence.
2. Part of the nature of man, not only can have knowledge of this field Divine by inference, but also can discover by direct intuition than reflective reason which the knower is, somehow, together with the known.
3. Man's nature is not simple but dual nature. I do not have one, but two, the phenomenal ego which is mainly conscious and tends to regard as their true selves, and the eternal self is not great, the inner man, the spirit, the spark of divinity in him which is his true self . It is possible for man, if you want and are prepared to make the necessary effort, to identify with their true selves and, therefore, with the Divine Field is the same or similar nature.
4. The primary purpose of human existence on earth is to discover and identify himself with his true self. In so doing, come to an intuitive knowledge of the field and then receive Divine Truth as it really is, and not as, to our limited human perceptions seems to be. Not only that, but went into a state of existence which have been given different names, eternal life, salvation, enlightenment, etc.
In this lucid exposition, do we not see the basic truths of Theosophy clearly stated? The eternal Cute permanent long-sowing his field Divine Light in the Divine Individuality, or Ego, of man which derive partial different personalities in the 'phenomenal world' which is only a partial reality. It should also be noted that the world of mysticism, in the theosophical philosophy is the world of the Real, where time and space as we know them cease to exist and as we identify increasingly become Real Duration and Space without the obstruction of the three-dimensional idea of the physical plane.

As stated H.P.B. in The Secret Doctrine:

The Space and Time are one. Space and time have no
name because they are unknowable, that which can only be
perceived through the Seven Rays, which are the Seven Creations,
Seven Worlds, Seven Laws, etc.

However, for practical purposes we live in a world of linear time and three-dimensional space and as human beings we must understand and conquer this world before us from looking at the mountains. All our ideas of Theosophy, all our knowledge of solar systems, chains, rounds, races, and sub; principles and vehicles of man, the laws of karma and reincarnation, even conceive of Those ideals that strengthen and guide all life, are part of this unreal world. For really must break, transferring these mental concepts in the living reality which they express in part, and theosophical mysticism that takes us beyond the confines of the intellect to the world of the Real. Like all processes of life, the work is cyclical and it is only with the development of consciousness (or vehicle, if you prefer) who learns to understand and operate from the universal aspects of reality rather than from the vagaries passengers personality.

Let us hear what they say the theme Space sobe mystics from different eras:

Ibn 'Arabi (Sufi)

The heart of the Gnostic has such an extent that Yasid Abu al - Bistami said of him: "If the Divine Throne, with everything around him, was found a hundred million times in a corner of the heart of the Gnostic, he does not feel"; and Junayd said in the same sense: "If the ephemeral and the eternal unite, there remains no trace of the first, because how could the heart which contains the eternal feeling of the ephemeral existence?"

ECKART MEISTER (Christian):

The man who enters God no longer has the time or space, or anything identifiable to express in words. However, one can reason, if you believe it necessary that the space occupied by any soul is vastly superior to holding heaven and earth and all God's creation. I will say more, God could create heaven and earth in bulk however, these together with the multiplicity of creatures already created, would be less extensive than the simple head of a pin compared to the point of view of a harmonized soul God.
And on the subject of Time, Chuang.tse Tao says:

Before heaven and earth existed, the Yao already was. It has existed unchanged ever since. Spiritual beings took their spirituality there, as the universe became what we now can see.

For the Tao, the zenith is the nadir above or below; any point in time is far away, or over the ages has aged.
And again, Meister Eckart:
"The now where God made man and now where the last man is dissolved, and now I'm talking about are all the same in God, where there is only now. The events of thousands of years ago , the days they spent thousands of years, are in eternity, not beyond what is this moment that I spend now, the day has arrived for thousands of years or for many years that can not be counted, no is more distant in eternity than it is this moment now.
