Rev. Mirta M. Signorelli, M. A., Psy.D., Spiritual Director is a Christian Mystic, ordained priest, and Master level Teacher of Christian Mysticism.

Rev. Mirta Signorelli is an ordained priest who spent over a decade working in several Hospice settings. "Working with death every day you tend to obtain a greater zeal for life. You start to focus on the promises of God and not on the worldly things that this life has to offer. When we focus on God, He reveals Himself to us every day in all that we do. God becomes alive and a willing participant in our everyday routines."

In order to experience God more fully, we have to go deep within us. We have to go beyond the senses, beyond the intellect, and beyond the imagination. We have to search for the "love" that encompasses all that we are. And we have to be in "Communion with God". This is called Communion of Depth and Refinement, because through it God increases our capacity to receive love as well as our ability to give love. The abandonment of the intellect and senses is a necessity if we are to connect with "True Love" or God. This is a pure experience that unifies the soul with the Creator. At which point, sometimes, through God's grace, spiritual gifts arise, and they do so in form of dreams or visions through which we receive knowledge and revelation with varying degrees of specificity. Another gift which God gives with grace is spiritual intuition. This intuition is beyond anything that can be understood or explained, it just is. I explain it as the "Counsciousness of God" infused in the soul. Then if it pleases the Almighty, the duality between this transcendent state of union and the everyday mundane existence is bridged and now the soul or the person is known as a Mystic.

Mystical Christianity is Christian Theology with an expirential component. The easiest way for Christian mysticim to be explained is "encountering God in the affairs of ordinary human beings and within their history". In our Meditation and More weekly meetings, a broad range of topics are discussed. For example, issues such as the nature of God and its counsciousness, reincarnation, prophetic messages, the soul, and discussions on the last days, encompasses our time together.

Rev. Signorelli, brings her own perspective on Christian Mysticism, including Gnostic literature to obtain a more complete view of the Christianity of Jesus Christ, our Lord. These meetings will be very appealing to those Christians who consider themselves to be unconventional by mainstream Christian standards. Furthermore, these meetings will also be very interesting to those Christians who have a distate for the "religious rigidity" of current denominations.

Remember, traditional Christianity is always a mystery, and this Mystery, for the Christian faith is the "Mystical Tradition" of Christianity. And this dates back to the ancient Hebrew culture. Seek and you shall find; have an intense and personal encounter with Jesus, come and join our spiritual group. This journey will take you to infinite territory.

Hi! This is Rev. Mirta Signorelli, and today we are finding ourselves astounded by the wisdom and gifts that God is giving our children. These children are referred to by many names, (Indigo, Crystal, Children of the Light, Children of the New Millennium, etc.). I would like to tell you about one of these incredible children who has been sent from God to change the world as a "modern day prophet". Because he is under age, I will refer to him only as TJ. TJ has been compared by some to Edgar Cayce, famous for his accurate predictions of world events, even many years after his death.

Since he was only three, TJ had incredible and dramatic abilities. He could see orbs and angels. Although too young to verbalize the full extent of his abilities, TJ would just point in the direction of the object which he could see from the spiritual dimension. As TJ grew, his gift from God grew with him. By age ten, he already had telekinetic powers, a "knowing" of his mission here on earth. He even remembered his time in his mother's womb, explaining it as a time of learning, in which Jesus trained him, to use the spiritual abilities, which he was going to receive at birth, to bring humankind closer to a loving God.

Some children with TJ's ability are lucky enough to be raised by aware parents who know that there is another world that exists alongside the physical land in which we as incarnate beings live. However, TJ was not so lucky, but he did have me, his grandmother, and I would nurture his gift as much as I could during his stays with me. I even became accustomed to hearing TJ's stories about his honest accounts of his interactions with spirits, especially his great, great, grandfather whom he referred to as his "spirit guide". Assigned to him by God to lead him in his spiritual path. With TJ's heart so open to love, inspiration, and the teachings of God, he continued to grow in his spiritual experiences towards his mission on earth, to teach God's love and peace.

Then by the age of thirteen, TJ had advanced incredibly, teaching groups of people about what God was communicating with him about current world events, and those to come. Even professors of theology from nearby universities would come to the prayer meetings, and ask theological questions of this young boy, who always answered them correctly. As TJ would always say, "it's not me, I'm just a tool of God, He is the One giving the answer". TJ was aware that having this gift brought great responsibilities. But he was ready for them. TJ would say that bringing the consciousness of God to this planet is his ultimate priority, and what he feels God has chosen him to do.

There is a belief that we are in a tremendous spiritual battle, right now, between the light of God and the dark forces of Satan. We certainly have not been immune from such attacks. Just recently TJ's step-father, who is an atheist prohibited TJ from participating in the Friday prayer group and from giving any more prophetic messages. It's interesting that a couple of Friday's before, God told the group that we would be attacked by the dark powers of evil, but to stay strong during these times of spiritual warfare. And to have faith that, He (God) will use every bad situation and turn it into good, even this one. So we still have our prayer group on Friday's ; learning, connecting, and hopefully transforming towards unity with God.

Those who are aligned with God's love and peace will listen and follow the words of a child. Jesus said that, "a child will lead them", so let us be open and think outside the box, as we contemplate on the inspired and sacred words of a child.

The Dark Night of the Soul

by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger

The average person tends to go through life accepting things as they are and adjusting to situations as they arise without too much inner frustration. People who have significant potential often have high physical and mental energy levels, superior truth insight, and the will capacity to drive themselves toward goal objectives. They are strongly motivated toward selective types of achievement.

These people of superior potential also have a greater probability of driving themselves to the point of psychological-physical exhaustion and encountering what appear to be unsolvable existential problems. They keep pushing themselves unrealistically, determined to meet all obligations, and respond to new opportunities. This pace in the fast lane becomes a way of life.

One day when the conditions are right, some of these people experience the listlessness and overwhelming depression of "burnout." They see no adequate reason for their inability to respond positively to their many responsibilities. Threatened by this ambiguity and their own imaginations, they are overcome with the various psychic and physical symptoms of "battle-fatigue" – inability to cope, powerlessness, anxiety states, crying, a sense of doom and black despair! The onset of these "burnout symptoms" is usually associated with some sort of community, a threat to assumed security, death in the family, or some challenge that requires resiliency and creative energy.

General Dwight Eisenhower went into the shock of such an experience when, after the rigors of his World War II activities, he took on a new set of responsibilities as President of Columbia University. Harry Emerson Fosdick grappled with this frightening experience when his psychic energy was drained by his disciplined schedule for excellence and opposition to his progressive theology by the Presbyterian power structure. These burnout experiences have been so universal among the spiritual leaders of history that it is classically known as "the dark night of the soul." It strips away all sources of pride, egocentricity, self-will, and self-sufficiency.

This all-encompassing experience of depression, anxiety, inadequacy, and despair is often regarded as the deepest suffering human beings can know. It is frequently described as "Hell". This ultimate testing forces the individual to face ultimates or completely fold and sink into a subhuman existence. The intensity of the experience is such that one surrenders all that he or she is and all that they have to the highest reality of their experience – God. Intuitively one knows that the only way out, the only road to health, strength, meaning, and joy is unreserved dedication to the indwelling Spirit’s will and way regardless of consequences. With the last reserve of will we join, in spirit, with Job saying, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him."

We become willing to surrender our attachment to material things and pleasures, money, egocentricity, pride, flattery, popularity, personal power, reputation or anything which separates us from eternal truth, spiritual beauty, and divine goodness – the will and way of God as we sincerely understand it in our experience.

The road back to health, strength, and well-being is painstaking and time consuming. It is a rebuilding of our personality structure. It begins after our unreserved dedication with a sense of inner peace. Anyone passing through this ultimate testing to achieve reality orientation and commitment is never the same. They have entered another dimension of being and develop into stronger, more capable people because they are no longer the center of their existence. They become self-forgetful in the service of spiritual values, which are more important than the vicissitudes of mortal existence. One day they discover that they not only have inner peace, but, have achieved the higher happiness of love and service.

It is my observation and experience that human beings are not prepared to be entrusted with significant human and spiritual service until they have passed through some criticial forms of testing, and found capable of assuming these heavier burdens of responsibility for the common good. Years later, looking back, that which was experienced as "the dark night of the soul", we see was in actuality "God's refining fire of mind enlightenment, enabling us to develop mind control, will dedication, and soul growth."

Be assured, if you should experience "the dark night of the soul" in any of its many forms, you are a person of significant potential, that God is challenging to enter a new level of being, which is beyond the domination of the lesser values of the material world. It is a humble beginning, but the humble do, indeed, inherit the earth!

Reincarnation:

As we take this long journey of life, most of us have become interested in the lifeforce within us. Each and every one of us will reach a moment in our lives when questions such as, “Why am I here”, Why would God allow suffering, and What is my purpose in life,” seek to be answered. This is the very moment, for many of us, when the spiritual journey begins. And, ultimately, the destination is God, regardless of the path that you have selected to take in your life.

“Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find”, Jesus made that statement, and He also said “The kingdom of heaven is within you”. For most people, it is understood that God is speaking about the “soul” or the “spirit” which is within all of us. A sacred space inside all of us that searches for truth and seeks God’s wisdom. During this time of investigation, I urge you to be open to all forms of spiritual information, since this is a clear way to becoming spiritually mature. Topics such as reincarnation should be explored and analyzed for truth.

In regards to reincarnation, well, it’s for everyone. Every religion and every race.

Christians often assume that each human being lives once as a mortal on earth, dies once, and then faces judgement. As a Christian, I too used to believe this way. However, the more exploration I did on the subject, the more convinced I became that reincarnation is a principle, which is in line with a loving, and compassionate God. In researching the topic, I also became aware that reincarnation is also found in Scriptures.

The doctrine of Reincarnation literally means “to be made flesh again”, and this is a belief that the soul survives death and is “reborn” in a new body. The purpose for this is to perfect the soul. In other words, the soul is reborn to obtain knowledge and spiritual growth. Once the soul has achieved spiritual purification and growth through the many lifetimes, then it does not have to reincarnate again.

There are many Bible verses which are suggestive of reincarnation, especially Mathew 11:13-14. “For all the prophets and the law have prophesied until John. And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who was to come”.

Another significant Scripture verse is found in Mathew 17: 10-13. It reads, “And the disciples asked him saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” But he answered them and said, “Elijah indeed is to come and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also shall the Son of Man suffer at their hand. Then the disciples understood that he had spoken of John the Baptist.”

These are clear statements showing testimony of reincarnation in the New Testament. By identifying John the Baptist as Elijah, Jesus is identifying Himself as the Messiah. And Jesus said as plain as He could so that there would be no misunderstanding. “This is the one….there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist. And if you are willing to accept it he is Elijah who was to come. He who has ears let him hear.” (Mathew 11:11-15)

You see, due to condemnation of reincarnation by the early church, some 500 years after the death of Christ, this doctrine has become an enemy to the Judeo/Christian belief system. However, it is certain to say that reincarnation was not an unfamiliar concept to the people that Jesus preached to, or to Jesus Himself.

Another suggestive statement of reincarnation can be found when Jesus declares the following to the believers in the Church of Philadelphia. “Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it.” (Revealtion 3:12)

Here, Jesus is stating that people were once residents of the temple of God. And, as soon as the person overcomes sin, then the person becomes a permanent inhabitant of the temple of God, never to leave it again. There are many more verses, so I suggest that you take time to explore the topic.

From all my research, I can only draw one conclusion, that reincarnation was not only known by those in the days of Jesus, but also taught by Jesus. I believe that reincarnation should be a doctrine acceptable by every follower of Jesus Christ. For it is a doctrine that shows God’s infinite mercy as He allows us many lifetimes to “get it right”. May God’s peace by with you.

Boymystic was told by Jesus that reincarnation is a true event! Below are a few youtube videos on this subject.
