		<description>Jesus said, &quot;I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me.&quot;  There is nothing mystical about it.  
The devil is the great deceiver.  He&#039;s doing a wonderful job with all of you!  Turn now before it&#039;s too late.
The path to Heaven is straight and narrow.  All the others lead to hell.</description>

Alex, I posted my last comment exactly 2 months ago today. It is amazing how quickly things change and how quickly things are revealed...

life is moving like a &#039;bullet train&#039; ... </description>

		<description>Been here a while, and didn&#039;t know that &quot;here&quot; was a place.  An ancient Japanese proverb says &quot;The journey is the destination.&quot;  My journey has been rough but rewarding, and I&#039;m looking forward to sharing it as we chase the mystic.

		<description>hmmm...

interesting question.

I will answer your question with a &#039;yes&#039; and a &#039;no&#039;. Yes, I am intrigued. Yes, I want to know more about this movement that apparently already exists &#039;everywhere and nowhere&#039; ... and yet a part of me is desiring to create our own mystic movement because in a sense I feel we have been given permission to reach for something bigger. I believe we have tapped into something that is propelling us into the future. We have been given eyes to see and ears to hear and willing spirits that aren&#039;t afraid to explore.

You know, Alex, in some ways, I wonder if we are creating the mystic nation as we search and share and get people buzzing about this intriguing and mysterious thing or, dare I say, legend. It&#039;s like one day we are going to look back and realize that the very ones that began seeking were the very one&#039;s who created it. Are we creating the mystic nation right now?

		<description>Hi Alex. I am most intrigued by all of this. So, I will share some ramblings with you (a trip inside my head)...

When we talked on Monday, a part of me felt as if your words breathed life into a concept I have had rolling around in my head and heart for months now. Until now, it seemed that many of my ideas transcended those around me. I have kept quiet not knowing how to bridge the gap between this &#039;way&#039; and the established organizations around us that have defined what the acceptable methods of spirituality are. I know this is just the beginning of who knows what!!!

Have you read Dean&#039;s latest blog?  

Yesterday while driving, a car pulled up next to me. There were large sticker letters pasted on the back window that read &quot;Pay it Forward&quot; and an 800 number listed below. If you remember on Monday I connected the &#039;pay it forward&#039; concept to the mystic nation ... coincidence? Then, later in the day I was commenting on a blog and another member who posted was named &quot;mystic&quot;. hmmm...

So, I Googled &#039;Mystic Nation&#039; and &#039;Mystic Warrior&#039; this morning and guess who&#039;s name is attached to all of this ...YOU! How funny is that!

Just thoughts ... keep searching ... keep dreaming...

		<description>I&#039;m here. I&#039;m ready, as ready as I can be, anyway. I didn&#039;t pack much, but even still, I feel like I packed too much. I am willing to lay down some stuff on the way, especially if there are more important items dicovered on the journey.</description>
