In Between The Noise & The Sound Lies A Greater Reality

By Michael Howard
I'm living in the hope
Of a breath to be shared
It's all I've ever wanted
It's all I ever dared
So breathe
Breathe deep
Breathe
Breathe long and hard
Breathe with me
Breathe with me


-Mission Uk-



The heart of the mystic is found in the silence which resides between what is seen, heard and felt. For that which is tangible cannot inspire in itself, the tangible/physical elements of life are merely a window or portal to draw us into that which is unseen and spiritual.

For example, one may see the sunset in all it's splendor and beauty, but true inspiration is found in the reflection of what has been seen. The conscious mind becomes illuminated and is elevated in the quiet contemplation of what the physical senses have perceived and the heart and mind is lifted upward naturally toward all that is good, pure and holy. In the silence the divine source of all life reminds us to look outside of time to that which is timeless and to become present in the present now.

This is the place where the mystical heart has learned to reside and commune with the divine source of all living things and it's here in the beautiful comtemplation that the mystic receives guidance, realignment, empowerment to create positive change in the world.

The things seen with the eyes, felt by the hands or heard with the ear are merely reminders of a greater reality that empowers all physical life. The mystic has learned to tap into this reality at will, draw breath from it, receive messages and visions of hope, as well as insight and guidance for the journey and gain a complete picture of reality in it's highest form.

This place of contemplative silence is the source of inspiration for the mystical soul who draws his/her strength and inspiration from the silence, reflects on all that is beautiful and pure and is empowered and lifted up to a place of peace and rest though living in a chaotic world resless world.
 

Mission Now

By Michael Howard

Head bent, eyes closed, hands on lap, breathing slows. Time fades as spirit ascends towards the top of the seven story mountain, lost in contemplation and mystical rythm. Within the beautiful silence there is a light, the heart swells with inspiration. Gentle waters refresh the mind as voices carefully whisper from the ethereal realm of solitude, "Mission Now". Into the quiet, enter the peace, divine love showers down on mortal flesh. Gently, softly, correction, direction, vision, elation!
