“You have never talked to
a mere mortal.”
C.S. Lewis,
There Are No Ordinary People

Introduction: Beyond Saints and Psychics

“There are no ordinary people. The blur of everyday reality has created a world in which most of us have forgotten the value of our unique and sacred existence. We all are human. We all die. But, more important, we all are more than human, and we all live on. We are more than laborers and artists, parents and children, masters and servants; our earthly occupations are the expressions of the unfathomable energy that exists as our true selves. It is this true self, once rediscovered, that enables us to understand more clearly the nature of our world, and our own existence.

With this awareness, everyday experiences become mystical experiences of their own. The profound beauty that stirs our soul during a summer sunset; the smile of a child, or friend, or lover that warms our heart; the quiet way the light glows through a window on a cold, snowy evening; all of these are simple ways we experience the beauty of creation. But not all expression of the higher powers is so subtle. There are moments when the veil between our world and the heavens is pulled wide open. The laws of physics are violated. We imagine the unimaginable, experience the impossible. These moments have been the foundation of most of the religions we know in human history. These are the moments of revelation.

The saints, the seers, the psychics, the shamans, the prophets, the oracles, the mystics, the yogis, the diviners, the high priests and priestessesthey have had many names throughout historythey are the ones who have dedicated their lives to the understanding and experience of these mysteries. But where are they today? Who are the prophets among us now? Who, in our own day and age, hears the voice of God?

Most of us have lived our lives with the notion that heavenly experience is reserved for the select fewfor the saints, for the blessed ones. We may be moved by the raptures of St. Theresa, or inspired by St. Thomas Aquinass mysticism, but few consider such destinies attainable. We think that there must be something innately different about such people, something special that allows them to understand God in way that we cannot. But, in truth, the heavenly powers reveal to us all. We are all blessed ones. Heaven is no longer in the clouds. It is right here, all around us, everywhere; we must only open our eyes to see it.”
