Default Christian mysticism is unity

When we understand the true meaning of one God, our concept of god expands and builds a greater awareness of God’s presence within us. It is a journey towards unity and a new way of living. As we progress on this journey to oneness, we find our lives gradually transformed in a positive way, which includes both the conscious and the unconscious. This balance brings the discovery of a new reality along with a balance between the rational and the irrational, between the intellect and instinct, and between the conscious mind and the unconscious. As we acquire unity, we see that nothing exist in isolation so the nature of our being is unity, a unity of body, mind and spirit.

No doubt. But there is an unbridgeable gulf between the Creator and that which he created. The Creator always existed. The created came into existence.

Soma... this is called Grace: having the character of God. The more you submit to God's love the more you can understand it.

I just had to come back to this subject as I love it so much!!!

II Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.NIV

This has to be my favorite scripture. It says so much and so eloquently!

The gulf you describe is the subject/object divide. It's only unbridgable when you engage it.

When it becomes "Christian mysticism" is it still unity?
