The Mystical Journey in the Jungle
I feel, like most sensitive people, that I am on a journey in this life.
But what kind of journey and how does my (or anybody's) journey relate to this life when there are so many interruptions?
With my successful search and finding the treasure of God - both within and outside of my self - the continuation of God's presence in my life for nearly 30 years has made my journey remarkable, to say the least. I have been taught many things from God, chief of which was to keep what I learned to myself. Is this selfish on God's part or delusional on mine? Neither.
I do not know what God's purpose is, in teaching me that which I have learned to myself. I can only surmise that any revelation from God through me would simply be dangerous to my being. From humans. Not God. This shows me how much He loves me, from a "non-messianic" point of view. So I do not reveal. Therefore, what I have learned over these many years has been a journey chock full of mystical understanding.
If my gathered spiritual or mystical understanding through actual learning has been a mystical journey, how does God - through me - relate my existence in this life as weighed in view of others? There have been over 20 wars, conflicts, death and massive bloodshed, with countless millions of murders, thefts, scams, poison ness entities, in one form or another, robberies, muggings, and treachery in the business world, known as a "dog-eat-dog attitude". (This often carries over into personal lives as well.)
Many times, in the sanctity of a domicile, a person would be heard to say, "It's a jungle out there!" and they could not be more correct in their assessment. A real jungle has an extraordinary amount of trappings within its suffocating closeness that his is the reason why a majority of earth's populace do not live in the REAL jungle.
Yet they live in a jungle made by man.

This jungle, made my man, has been my domicile and freeway, as it is, for almost everyone else. The difference in my journey through this jungle is the inner tranquility of the mysticism (or knowledge of the spiritual) that was rewarded to me by God for faithfully, and determinedly seeking Him until I found Him.
This, as I am today, is why I say I am on a mystical journey in and through a jungle.
