The Mystic's Message
(un)Common Wisdom to Quiet the Mind and Soothe the Spirit
The Mystics Message is (un)Common wisdom to quiet the mind and soothe the spirit. I know how noisy it can be living in this world- the inside and outside voices all mingling. It’s hard sometimes to hear that quiet voice of your Soul.
The Mystics Message is that voice. Speaking quietly in your ear, yet somehow cutting through all the chatter. The other voices will blur into the background for just a moment, and you'll hear exactly what you need.
Maybe it’s an idea. Maybe it’s only one word, or a new perspective on an ancient truth. Whatever it is, it’s yours. Take it. Nurture it as your own.
Look for the treasures. Even I don't know where all of them are because they weren't put there by me. I only write it, and I’ll be honest, I don’t know where this thing is going. I only know that it’s important.
Every post is written in the spirit of love, charity, brotherhood, and a deep longing to share the things we hold most dear.
That spirit guides me as I write to you every week. That spirit is the essence of The Mystics Message, whatever form it may take.
So take a deep breath. Put your hand on your heart. You’re exactly where you need to be.
Welcome, my friend!
The path forward

Read that again…
Confusing, right? That's the same confusion many creatives face when searching for their way forward.
Looking at the missing pieces and try to fill them in. Looking at what we DON’T have and go going on an endless chase. Focusing on the things we’re NOT good at- comparing our vulnerable inner world to everyone else’s highlight reel.
This is what we’ve been taught to do, after all. Solve the problem. Fill in the bl…
Candles, Shadows and Inner Contradictions
My eyes are watering. Not because I'm sad. I've been staring at this candle for an hour.
Why? you might ask...
Because I read it in a book. Or was it a reel?
Anyway, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But now that my eyes are watering, I'm starting to wonder...
I can't tell if the shadows dancing around are because of the candle, or if I am causing some sort of permanent damage. Maybe a little of both?
The flame flickers and I smile at the irony.
The shadow blinds you. You can only see it because…
How to Choose Your Highest Path in a World That's Trying to Control You
Of all the ideas that both terrify and excite me in equal measure, AI tops this list.
As I see it, we’re standing dead center in the impact zone of a 50 foot wave.
And it is just about to break.
There is no running. No hiding.
And no amount of bracing yourself will matter all that much.
Because Once it really hits, all bets are off.
It makes me wonder, what will matter most in a world that is difficult for us to even comprehend.
Where should we be putting our effort and attention?
