On today's Stay Peaceful, the topic will be "Peace and the Mystics".
The mystical approach to life has been criticized as "not relevant" and "inconsequential". Staunch materialists have dismissed the mystic as simply idiocy or superstition. In our current materialistic paradigm, science has embraced the notion that something must be proven physically, otherwise it is not true. Non-theists and New Atheists have decried anything mystical as sheer lunacy and have propelled their special brand of vitriol accordingly against Christianity and (less frequently) Islam and Judaism.
Today the discussion on Stay Peaceful will focus on the Mystics and their contributions to the spiritual life. How can we take their teachings and apply them to create a more peaceful world?
Who are the mystics? Where and when did the modern tradition arise? How is the mystical tradition continuing today?
I hope you can tune in.
Stay Peaceful,
Jason
