The Experience Of The Unmediated Apprehension Of God. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Mystical union is the experience of the
unmediated apprehension of God
in His essence which God chooses
to give to an ardent mystical seeker.

Christian mystics hold Christ
as the fountainhead of
the new creation,
as the chief agent
of reconciliation
and recapitulation.

There is a natural affinity
of Christian mysticism
and Eastern mysticism.

The mystical seeker
experiences in himself
an increased
sense of intellectual
and spiritual freedom
going beyond the ideas
of orthodox thinking.

In eastern thought,
there is a perception
of reality that penetrates
the illusionary World
of western materialism.

God's essence provides for
the core of human being
whether in eastern
or western mysticism.
