John Kuykendall lived as a monk and has some refreshing ideas on Christianity. He is author of the book titled "Evolution of Consciousness" which merits serious and quality attention. With Christian wisdom, philosophy and spiritual psychology the book expands understanding to go beyond the limitations in the religious concepts presented today to calm and ground your mind and initiate deep internal healing. With the ability to change our lives for the better "Evolution of Consciousness" is a journey towards unity and a new way of living. Its uniqueness lies in its psychospiritual development where religion and science strengthen each other's belief to provide the highest level of health and well being because they are both conce ed with what is true.

Christian Enlightenment
I like the term Christian Enlightenment as a movement to bridge the gap that exists betwee Christians and Fundamentalist. Enlightenment is a concept, which means being illuminated by acquiring new wisdom or understanding. While Fundamentalist go on the path of Inquisition, Christian Enlightenment will take the road of silent contemplation. I see it as a spiritual journey through the mountains, valleys, jungles and deserts of our minds.

Pure Energy as Love or God
I like to think of God as pure energy because we are communicating with the energy around us every second. Einstein even showed us that matter is energy. I accept this responsibility so I have to think, “What kind of energy am I putting back?” This energy I label love so God would be pure love. The belief institutions teach us to rely on the systems and not our own connections to the energy around us so we have to restructure our skills to understand the frequencies and subtle energies of consciousness.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from john kuykendall
Christianity is reverent and alive if one listens to the call from inside. The dull habit of preaching, giving sermons, patronizing, condemning or judging others as insufficient is the ego talking about Christ, not the religion of Christ. Descriptions about Jesus are not the spiritual ideas Jesus described. The experience of joy and the supe atural realization of Christ are not about sins, hell or Satan, but the glorious energy of the soul. A healer doesn’t rifle through the lives of others, but brings one from the outer personality to the inner-self arousing one from immaturity and prejudice to wholeness.
This solo mystical journey evolves from location to position, from view to vision onward towards total understanding. It is passed from mind to mind, a flame passed from candle to candle. There is nothing to buy, join or donate. A Christian vision beyond personality opens the eye to a new awareness, cultivating good qualities, internal clarity and introspection. It encourages one to believe the truth that is experienced and not necessarily to join. When one is tired of reading the menu, it is time for the inner spiritual meal to be experienced, a deeper reality beyond the normal worldly existence of guilt, pain and pleasure. Looking from the inside out the veil of ideological and religious conflict is parted giving clues to unity and wholeness.
Christian mysticism looks at the world from a different angle giving meaning to life, not rejecting anything or waving a fist with sco and resentment. One does not have to point a finger when the experience is direct because the power of Christ consciousness is accessible to provide the means to love in every form, enjoying, not judging what is encountered. These deeper understandings value love and see more to the physical world than what is in it. These windows look out on the path we are traveling to our destination, a spiritual experience that sooths the personality.
A consciousness focused on the core and not the superficial façade or surface personality aligns the personality with the soul. Watching the mind’s intentions for what they are helps one to recognize a cold heart beneath polished and pleasing words and good intentions behind an unwise approach. Consciousness has the ability to seize the whole and not error in efforts to witness and read human nature so it refuses to go along with any cruelty. The surface of a thing is not the whole of it so Christian mysticism is the discovery that there are depths beyond depths of of the physical world.

How to get started
Christian Mysticism expands the small world
It seems in our small world Christ enters and leaves as we try to grasp Our Lord in a tight fist of a hand, but when we open the mind to the vast, deep and limitless Christ mind, then we relax and rest in a state of peace. We let go and “Let Thy Will be Done”. We are no longer tied or grasping a human predicament. We are no longer poking about our interior with a flashlight, but opening the blinds, windows and doors of our Soul to the present moment of God. We no longer seek God because we know he is always present so we seek the barriers that separate us from That Glorious Presence. http://thinkunity.com
