A Guide to Exploring Mystical Literature
Unlocking the Wisdom Within

Greetings, fellow seekers of wisdom. I’m Janine Bolon, your guide from the Mystic Mastermind community. Our journey began with the Crow Lodge around 2010-2012, evolving over the years into a vibrant online community dedicated to exploring mystical insights and experiences. Today, I’m thrilled to share with you the core books that have shaped our journey as practical mystics. These texts are not mere reads; they are tools for transformation, offering guidance and illumination on our spiritual path.

The Essential Mystical Library:

  • Our journey into practical mysticism begins with a selection of transformative books. These texts serve as companions on our quest for enlightenment and self-discovery. Allow me to introduce you to four essential titles that have profoundly impacted our community:
  • “Expressing the Divine: A Guidebook for the Enlightened Soul” by Janine Bolon: This concise yet profound book distills over 25 years of meditation and mystical exploration into actionable principles and routines. Designed for the modern mystic, it offers practical insights to navigate the journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
  • “Ask and It Is Given” by Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks: Delve into the power of manifestation and the art of deliberate creation with this transformative guide. Explore techniques to overcome depression, manage anger, and align with your deepest desires. Through personal anecdotes and practical exercises, this book empowers you to harness the universal laws of attraction.
  • “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” by Eckhart Tolle: Embark on a journey of inner transformation with Eckhart Tolle’s seminal work. Explore the nature of the ego, transcendental consciousness, and the power of presence. Tolle’s insights offer a roadmap to liberation from egoic patterns and alignment with your true purpose.
  • “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz: Discover the ancient Toltec wisdom teachings distilled into four powerful agreements for personal freedom and fulfillment. Learn to be impeccable with your word, avoid taking things personally, refrain from making assumptions, and always do your best. These timeless principles serve as a foundation for harmonious living and spiritual growth.

The Art of Active Reading:

Reading these mystical texts is not a passive endeavor but an active engagement with profound wisdom. As we journey through these pages, let us adopt practices to deepen our understanding and integration of the teachings:

  • Annotation and Reflection: As you read, annotate the text, noting key passages, insights, and questions that arise. Use the blank pages at the end of the book to record your reflections, page numbers, and quotes for further exploration and discussion.
  •  Community Dialogue: Engage with fellow seekers in our Mystic Mastermind community. Share your insights, questions, and reflections on the texts, fostering a supportive environment for collective learning and growth.
  • Integration Practices: Apply the teachings of each book to your daily life. Reflect on how you can embody the principles and practices shared by the authors. Cultivate mindfulness, presence, and conscious awareness in your thoughts, words, and actions.

Embracing Transformation:

As we delve deeper into these mystical texts, let us embrace the transformative potential they hold. Ask yourself:

  • Relevance: Does the wisdom shared resonate with your own experiences and aspirations? Discern what teachings are most pertinent to your journey and integrate them into your spiritual practice.
  • Alignment: Are the insights aligned with your values and life goals? Reflect on how these teachings can support your personal growth and evolution.
  • Integration: How will you integrate these teachings into your daily life? Identify practical steps to embody the wisdom and cultivate spiritual alignment in all areas of your life.

As we embark on this journey of mystical exploration, let us remember that true wisdom is not found solely within the pages of a book but within the depths of our own being. May these texts serve as guides and companions on our quest for truth, enlightenment, and self-realization. Together, let us unlock the wisdom within and illuminate the path to awakening.
