    First, after having a rough week, Chris admitted that he is not always able to accept certain unfair situations in a graceful manner.

  84. Knowledge vs Experience, and The Realization of Selfless Love (Part Two) – Ep.1152015/01/30

  85. The Realization of Selfless Love (Part One), and Carrying Mental Anguish – Ep.1142015/01/23

  86. The Acquirement of Spiritual Power – Ep.1132015/01/16

    Chris started with the idea of an individual evolving from Animal-Man, to Human-Man, and ultimately to Divine-Man.

Two relevant […]

The Mystic Show
http://themysticshow.net
Saints and mystics throughout time have been unanimously clear on this one point: Ignoring the unseen spiritual aspects of your life would be the biggest tragedy. The Mystic Show explores the unseen and otherworldly - spirituality, meditation, personal development, and the practical application of these principles in our lives. In other words, how you can experience deep understanding, contentment and serenity in your own life. We also discuss some of the mysteries that transcend ordinary human knowledge including consciousness, reality, psychic functioning, death, new physics, and more.

I hope to inspire you to explore your inner-self, your heart and your soul so that you may be energized to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Welcome to The Mystic Show, brothers and sisters :)
