In these moderns times mystics spend a lot of time discussing Gnosis, yet few seem to be talking about Faith. It’s almost as if these two concepts have become diametrically opposed to each other in modern mystical Christianity. Evangelicals and other Christians say Faith is important. Gnostics on the other hand, emboldened by the Nag [...]

In the Summer, many years ago, I was initiated into a Spiritual Order of men and women. I can still remember it as if it was yesterday. There I was in the South of France, achieving one of the goals that I had travelled halfway across the world to achieve. In the years preceding my [...]

Last night my wife and I joined a small group of friends to discuss our spiritual life. One of the topics that came up was the fact that part of a healthy spiritual life is a healthy detachment from the material world and the material life. This got me thinking.
