The Mystical Path offers the student a journey into Oneness. This course provides an opportunity to study the perspective of a mystic to expand our awareness of the Divine Presence in life. Students will identify the common, timeless truths of mystics, and how these truths relate to the principles, practices, and teachings of the Science of Mind. They will explore their own beliefs and experiences with the intention to discover their own mystical perspective. Students will be invited into a greater understanding of the growth of consciousness and learn how the principle of Oneness has a direct impact on the life they live.

Our Own Soul, Our Own Destiny
What We Believe
We believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. This One manifests itself in and through all creation, but is not absorbed by its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God. We believe in the incarnation of the Spirit in all, and that we are all incarnations of the One Spirit. We believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding. We believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us and that we experience this Kingdom to the degree that we become conscious of it. We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
