The lesser travelled path of the mystic...

”While the lesser travelled path of the mystic is my preferred choice, I do not invalidate the journey of those pilgrims who have not passed through the internal door of gnosis. It is not a matter of one path being better than the other is. The question becomes: is there a readiness to embrace the same experiences that enlightened Yeshua and his close companions.” (from Anna, Grandmother of Jesus by Claire Heartsong)

The lesser travelled path of the mystic is also my preferred choice. Sometimes I wish it was different, but there is no going back. The more comfortable path for me would have been to stay in the Christian church tradition that I grew up in. The truth is, sometimes I envy church going Christians who are part of a congregation. They have a community that they can always turn to and they have teachings that seem very established to hold on to when they need support. I respect their commitment to their path and their path is just as valid as mine.

My path is more lonely, less travelled, less secure but because I stepped onto it knowing that I am never truly alone I will keep going.
