Caroline Myss on Mystics

Caroline Myss is sounding a wake-up call for the new age movement: it’s time we grew out of our self-absorption with personal development and moved on to a path of spiritual service. Carolyn Burdet listens up.

For Caroline Myss, becoming a mystic is not a path of retreat, it is about having the courage to live the life our soul wants, the courage to follow our inner calling, rather than the ego’s demands for recognition, admiration, and a shiny spiritual aura.  Daily practice for a would-be mystic is in letting go of the resentments and toxicity that are preventing our progress, stifling our intuition, and blocking the voice of the divine. It’s about dropping rivalry of the ego, swallowing our pride in everyday situations and retrieving a workable solution instead of scoring points. It’s about letting something go in our hearts, letting wounds finally heal over, instead of holding on to our grievance and feeding the cavernous appetite of our inner victim.

‘GET OVER IT!’ demands Myss. ‘Or in any case, leave it, and get on with life.
