Mystic

"Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language." ~ Meister Eckhart

It took me a while to add "Mystic" to various "About Me" statements online.  I've tended to refer to my spiritual orientation in a variety of ways.  

Am I using the term "correctly"?

There is no "correct".

For me, it is an integration of the Sacred into everyday life.  We get distracted from the Sacred.  But it returns to us, and we return to it, when we are conscious of returning. 

The Divine is present.  And mysterious.  It reveals itself when we're open.  We don't need to pry the door open because it even assists with the opening.  Once open, there can never be a closing.  Yes, we get distracted, but the Sacred never really leaves us.
