Comments on: The wisdom of monks and mystics https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/2017/07/18/wisdom-monks-mystics/ The New Zealand National Catholic Newspaper Sat, 24 Feb 2018 02:39:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.4 By: John Kuykendall https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/2017/07/18/wisdom-monks-mystics/#comment-17857 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 23:37:24 +0000 https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/?p=15535#comment-17857 The ‘pure I’ covers a complicated situation that is so far beyond the grasp of languages that it cannot be expressed at all in an un-paradoxical manner, which is why it uses intuition. Throughout the different ages men and women have been intuitively aware of the existence of such a state, and among the saints and mystics of all times in all religions there is a common experience of unity. Ordinary men and women cannot see or feel this experience because they have not gone pass the ‘doer I’ or ego. It is natural that this would happen because some people have developed themselves more than others and make use of feeling and seeing in a dimension distinct from what others know. We have read about many extraordinary things that have happened in our times and in other ages, but the ordinary people deny it because they just don’t understand the experience.
