MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE

 

Mystics is an experience strictly individual and when socially organized ceases to exist. The intimate essence is individual, which however does not interrupt this individual verticality to unfold in social horizontality; but this unfolding or overflow occurs only when the vertical experience reaches the zenith of its plenitude.

 

 

Our troubled world cannot be remedied by any new organization, religious or civil; only the mystical experience of many can really benefit humankind.

 

 

Every genuine and plentiful mystics is irresistibly overflowing and diffuser; otherwise is merely mysticism.

 

 

Jesus, the Christ, never organized anything, not in the religious sphere of the Israeli Synagogue, nor in the civilian sector of the Roman Empire policy. His performance was indirectly only, by the spontaneous overflow of his own plenitude and according to Paul of Tarsus: “In Jesus body dwelt all the plenitude of the Divinity.”

 

 

For nearly three centuries, from Jesus death until the year 313, Christianity of the catacombs lived this mystical Christhood, without any social organization. And in addition, this was the most glorious period of the Christian world; the period of mystical verticality of the catacombs, whose only way out was to the martyrdom in the Coliseum.
