If you want the life you have, don’t date a mystic woman.
A mystic woman is a wild creature. She spends all her life seeking, for there is nothing else worth doing.
She peers and gazes until she falls from the edge of the world, and
into the next. Over and over. Each time she returns, she is a little
different. What she sees must change her. She dies every moment. She is
reborn every day. Can you even begin to fathom the terror and the faith
commanded from such a being? Can you even begin to understand what such a
life can do?
If you want the life you have, don’t date a mystic woman.
If you are comfortable and cozy, stay away. Whatever you have built
around yourself to create comfort: it cannot stand in the blazing fire
of a mystical woman. She is no trophy. She is no bodily pleasure-maker.
She is the seer of souls. She is the womb that births the divine into
the flesh and bone of matter. She doesn’t mean to burn your village to
the ground, but she has seen what you are meant to become. You are not a
peasant shearing sheep, as you have thought. You are a king dressed in
rags who has amnesia.
If you want the life you have, don’t date a mystic woman.
If she touches you, and all the voices on the wind go silent, if you
feel you are in a snow globe when you embrace her, she is your
destroyer. She will destroy the false idol you see in the mirror. She
will smash it open because it is your prison. If you wish to stay there,
she will shatter you another way. She will leave.
If you want the life you have, don’t date a mystic woman.
Everybody wants the magic, but nobody wants the Mystery, the schooling:
a thing that must be lived in a place where book knowledge has no
meaning, for all books are manuals to the world you already know. That
means, the well-honed intellect — the masculine theory of reason — will
not save you, cannot free you. It is for a world whose time is over. The
Mystery, by its very nature, must show you what has never been seen,
never been written, never been known, because before you were forged, it
was impossible. The arts of women have been called the dark arts for
too long, and they are the keys to infinity. Infinite form. Infinite
being. Infinite life.
If you want the life you have, don’t date a mystic woman.
If your dreams are not filled with the Mystery, you are better off with
a normal life, because she will see things that are invisible to you.
She will feel things that you cannot feel beneath the layers of numbness
you have wrapped yourself in. She will call upon your true self, your
real soul, and she will sing it down into you, into herself and life
will open up, for this very moment...
