SPIRITUALITY & MYSTICISM IN OUR TIMES... - by Alia Datoo I consider myself to be both Spiritual and a Mystic. In fact, this is how I introduce myself in my healing vocation. A number of individuals have come back to me and asked me what this means, so today, let me help you understand what Spirituality and Mysticism mean in today's time and age. Mysticism is a part of Spirituality, which happens to be our union with Reality. Spirituality talks about mankind being in a long and forgotten slumber; Mysticism is dedicated to awakening our physical, mental, and emotional systems, thereby gaining entrance into the next stage of co-creation, both individually and collectively.
