What is Mysticism? by David Knowles, published in 1971, explores the traditional explanation of the mystical life as the fullness of the life of grace. The book highlights the importance of St John of the Cross and St Teresa of Avila as the culminating points of Christian mysticism, with Walter Hilton as a worthy predecessor.
Knowles emphasizes that God can only be known and loved in himself by a being to whom he has given something of his own divine nature. The modern psychologist, as such, has no such being. In this volume, Knowles analyzes the basic structure of Christian life and questions whether there are two ways to the perfect Christian life.
The book is available for free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt), or read online for free. It also provides a brief summary of the traditional explanation of the mystical life as the fullness of the life of grace.
In conclusion, What is Mysticism? by David Knowles offers a comprehensive analysis of the traditional explanation of the mystical life as the fullness of the life of grace.

📹 Understanding Synchromysticism (with Chris Knowles)
The universe is speaking to you right now with crucial messages, and you can listen effectively if you tap into synchromysticism.
📹 How To Be A Synchromystic – Christopher Knowles
The legendary Christopher Knowles of the Secret Sun joins us this week to explain how to be a synchromystic. We learn ✓ What …
For me it boils down to accepting the sync I want in my life and rejecting the negative one by doing my best raising my vibration n connecting with source 💖✌️but yes I was actually caught it a tide in the middle of the gulf .after our kyak sunk..I told myself Lisa u have a choice panick n die or stay calm n trust so literally n figuratively
I cannot believe that Chris just mentioned Brian Eno´s “DISCREET MUSIC”, I heard VALIS 3X on audiobook and Eno´s DISCREET MUSIC was part of my music menu when it came out in the 80´s !!! Steve Roach (QUIET MUSIC) and Tim Story(UNTITLED) are sublime. Burrough´s “insects” (ARCHONS), I call SPACE ROACHES.:planet-orange-purple-ring: 1:31:26 WOW ! Miguel mentioned THE DIVINE INVASION and 1/26 was the day PKD´S TWIN died !!! 😱😱😱PKD also lived at 1126 Francisco Street, saw it in Wikipedia, the photo of the house and address was removed !
1:34 Vance and the phrase comes upon the tv right as he’s saying it. I don’t think it’s psy at all. It’s too random and only happens if you notice/aware of it. Right as you’re reading something, you hear it on the radio, tv or even someone else talking. I have rods in my back which means I can’t ‘turn or twist around’ to look. Yes sometimes I can turn my head around to look but many times you need to turn your body also. I have to stand up to change position. It’s been many years I’ve had this condition. One time I was feeling sad and tired about it (I usually don’t, I’m a positive person and it was a very rare pity party) and I was just thinking; I’m so tired of not being able to ‘turn around’ and right then as I’m thinking it my husband yells out to me “turn around and look at the tv” It seems to happens much more on the days that I meditate. Sometimes the phrase does not even have the same meaning or context. It’s just random little phrases. It feels like it’s a message from the universe, every thing is connected?
Sounds like Chris may be superimposing his issues with Alice Bailey and dark principalities that speak of oneness with the simple idea that everything is vibrating the same field as different expressions. I think trying to dispute that everything is “one” is just as much putting rules on the game as saying that all cannot be one. Great show by the way you all.
Bowie had a near identical twin. The more creative, high pitched rock voiced, skull faced look twin either died or left after diamond dogs. The other more handsome, lower voiced, jazzy brother took over. Thats why he remained low voiced and jazzy and never changed to other forms or revert back to the ziggy nous even though he said he is a chameleon. The chameleon excuse was to cover the twin effect. Life on Mars article….look carefully at the features like the brow ridge (more rounded) and lips (more pouty) is different from the later years brother. During the ziggy years they interchange so some articles and appearance is the other brother. Paul McCartney was an easier version to detect because it was not a twin brother. There are many more celebrities and this replacement phenomena lends to the consistency of this sinister world.
Do you guys want to hear an esoteric version of what happened when I went cold turkey off of Xanax and had arconic demons appearing in front of me telling me they wanted to rape my soul real is anything else in the room right in front of my face dude it was so terrifying I just put my head under the covers and didn’t come back out for the rest of the night and I just dipped in and out of consciousness and having seizures back and forth have a seizure hallucinate fall back asleep wake up have a seizure hallucinate for a bag of sleep for like 3 weeks straight it was f**** insane how much died definitely and then I felt like I had a sunburn on my whole body for almost 2 years and was totally anxious and paranoid and just out of my mind basically uncomfortable for almost 2 years with the posted cute withdrawal symptoms ir was terrible!!!!
I think he meant to say someone you were just thinking about then calls you and tells you your aunt died and left you all this money it wouldn’t make sense the other way around you haven’t thought about them in a while and then they call you out of the blue and white so why would they be the one calling you to tell you your aunt died you know what I’m saying you have to carry one level of the synchronicity into the next so the first level would be either you haven’t or have just thought about them in this case I would say you just thought about them and then 2 minutes later they happen to call you what’s the outside the box information that would be level two and then level three would be you know more complex configuration by the alien tomb s**but that’s how I would kind of rephrase that example if it were me nitpicking.. I was sitting around as a teenager fantasizing about money and the next morning my mom told me that my dad had left an insurance policy when he died that I never knew about and I had x amount of money and then I redid it again after blowing that money when she came and told me she didn’t tell me about all the money the first time and there was more that was when I was trying to figure out how to like get a handle on kind of manifesting this kind of s** I still haven’t really nailed down 15 years later how to do it at will although randomly I have been able to manifest on occasion many times but I don’t know what meet at work when it failed all these other times it’s pretty damn interesting though
It’s important to recognize that none of us has an original thought, for inspiration does not originate within us as humans. We LOVE to give ourselves credit (especially when looking to profit off received knowledge) and pat each other on the back. But the truth is: there is nothing new under the Sun. We can discover and uncover, but the honest person realizes they were led there by ways and powers that transcend them. We can see through or behind the veil, and all we experience has always been there for us to experience for THIS is a realm of experience; not a realm of creation. This is understood by those who understand. We are all websites and websiteers. Not creators.
Excellent chat, you guys. You’re two of my favorite and go-to weirdos. It seems powers and principalities are a pretty good match for ideology. As Gordon suggested, you can wipe out a bunch of people who happen to believe a certain thing, but you cannot wipe out an idea, concept or ideology. These ideologies will simply interpolate more people.
I’m so happy he’s not about numerology! I just encountered the term synchromysticism yesterday and thought to myself “this is the word for what I’ve been practicing and unable to explain to people” alongside neopaganism (it’s what led me to neopagansim). After some research, I came across the book by this guy, but was worried it would be all numerology and other forms of what they’re calling “forcing” in the article. I used to say that I found something “on the path,” now I can say I’m experiencing a bit of synchromysticism.
Everything is already connected. Syncro tech is just learning how to tune into the threads. It’s a very cool organic technology that we have as humans. In my experience, the more open minded one is, the easier it is to sync or see how the threads attach to one another. I knew a kid who, in the 80s, read Cosmic Trigger and then lost his mind and had to go to a psyche ward. I’ve always been able to sync naturally. Maybe our astral birth charts has something to do with it. Who knows. Open mindedness, in my experience, is integral to syncing.
People need to discover and understand the synchronicity that surrounds us all, but I would say for those just coming in don’t bite off more than you can chew if you feel overwhelmed, stop and go back To the beginning and grasp it in small parts, and until that small part is able to be mentally and physically dealt with within you take another bite
I wouldn’t say that synchronicity is not magic because to someone who’s not familiar with it to familiarize themselves with it, it does feel and seem like magic to make a world that we’ve lived in some of us longer than others that is so misconstrued it does seem like magic when you’re able to understand and figure out why. And not lose our minds over it, and strengthen ourselves to whatever degree it needs to happen so that we can fix things, and/or just not allow all the garbage to engulf and weaken us
Synch fun.. I read one chapter about stone of this in the first Ai collaboration book written. You both would love this chapter. I opened it randomly. The chapter is called Mercurial Oracle, book is named pharmako-ai. All about gods being a divine force of knowledge, system sets, all autological because they relate to themselves in relation to you. I went to bed thinking about what it was saying.. that the gods need something in our questions as much as we need answers.
Pearly Dew Drops from the war in Heaven land on Chris Knowles. Besides enabling Chris to make a living writing and the euphoric high that comes from discovering esoteric connections, how exactly would synchro-mysticism benefit me or anybody? I don’t see any material or spiritual benefits of this, it’s pretty much a very unique form of entertainment. Would be interested in anyone’s thoughts on this.
The effectiveness ratio reminds me of the Christian commonplace about God answering prayer. There are 3 categories of response: yes, not yet, and I have something better for you. I wonder if some types of magic are akin to the technology of prayer, in some way, and whether, if you were able to see it from a high enough altitude so to speak, or a long enough timeline, you might be able to discern a similar pattern of responses?
I have had the following synchronicity while viewing this: when the guest mentioned the word “Google,” out of all the myriads of references to this ubiquitous company, one from the show “The X-Files” came to mind. Imagine my surprise when I found out about his connection to this cult show. Now, fellow seekers, I would like to get your thoughts on this: it has been several years since I began reading everything related to synchronicity, Carl Jung, Henri Corbin, and perusal tons of content from this website, “Seekers of Unity,” and similar ones. I am experiencing synchronicities all the time. But one thing keeps troubling my mind: I know that we are spiritual beings, and some say that synchronicity is the universe whispering that you are on the right path. However, I have yet to fulfill myself professionally; I still cannot find my mission in this life. How am I to interpret these numerous synchronicities in light of my failure to find my mission? I thank all of you in advance who devote your precious time to responding to this comment.
EVERYONE is christian. Now do the work of not working for money. Everything is united. Power of this world is pure weakness. Do Gods Will. God is real. Just do the right things work together. Seriously. Cuz all christians who do not do the will of god will go to hell and all the world is forced to be christian, it is not a badge of honor for you but for me, the one god.
