In Episode 43 we look at Manly Hall's chapter on Mystic Christianity as well as the Esoteric traditions of the West. We look at the basic ideas of the mystic path of the Essenes, Gnostics, Knights Templars, Cathars, Rosicrucians and more. We define the basics of mysticism and the words "mystic" and "esoteric". We explore the traditional or Exoteric Church vs. the Mystical or Esoteric Church,. Along the way we also look at the dangers of Literal Interpretation of Sacred Stories, Developing a connection to the Divine within, and the symbolic and archetypal elements of Christianity and much more!
