In this episode of the Mysticast, host Jack Stafford engages in a deep and enlightening conversation with Michael Van Buren, an active member of both Theosophical Society and the Liberal Catholic Church Grille community. They discuss the intersections of religion, science, metaphysics, philosophy, and mysticism, emphasizing the quest for truth and the ancient wisdom underlying different spiritual practices. Michael, a third-generation theosophist, shares insights into his family's history with theosophy, the role of the Essenes in preparing for Jesus' mission, and the significance of the divine spark within each individual. The discussion delves into the ancient wisdom embraced by the Aetherius Society, the power of prayer and vibratory rates, the metaphysical process of balancing masculine and feminine energies, and the concept of co-creating reality with divine intention. They also cover the importance of raising one's vibratory rate for spiritual evolution, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the potential of prayer to effect change both personally and globally. Michael further explores the notion of creating heaven on earth, invoking divine qualities, and the significance of clearing sacred spaces.
