Overview of Wayism. Episode 8: Mystical experiences, including the Theopathic Nexus and Theopathic Communion
Welcome to Episode 8 of 11 in our series Overview of Wayism. Today, we'll venture into the profound realm of mystical experiences, focusing on two significant milestones on the spiritual path: the Theopathic Nexus and Theopathic Communion.
In Wayist teachings, mystical experiences are regarded as direct, intimate encounters with the divine reality that underlies all of existence. These experiences transcend the boundaries of ordinary perception and understanding, and they offer a glimpse into the ultimate nature of The Way.
One of the most pivotal of these experiences is known as the Theopathic Nexus. This term, derived from the Greek words for "divine" and "feeling," refers to a transformative moment in which an individual's spiritual awareness reaches a critical threshold.
At the Theopathic Nexus, the boundaries between the self and the divine seem to dissolve, and one experiences a profound sense of unity, love, and understanding. It is as if the veil that separates the individual spirit from heavenly spiritual energies is momentarily lifted, revealing the inherent oneness of all in the family of spirit beings in our heaven.
Wayism understands that the Spirit Energy Domain hosts a multitude of spirit energy "worlds" so to speak, or spirit heavens, in other words. There are many types of spirit beings, all are benign, and all specialize in the energy work skills and cosmic utility of their own species. Our species of spirit beings, into which we are evolving, we specialize in helping soul-beings all over the galaxy who are in danger of being compromised in soul energy. There are many reasons why living beings in our galaxy may be in danger of large-scale energy disruptions. And that is why we specialize in soul energy healing and energy work that pertains to soul beings, meaning all living beings in the galaxy.
And that is why our training ground, the campus of our school, is the garden planet. We share space with billions of different living beings and thousands of eco-systems. We share space with typical advanced soul beings that become human, and we get to learn how soul-beings of that class are by nature. As advanced and spiritually awakened beings we sometimes observe the way they run the world and how they conduct themselves, with concern, even disgust, at times. And that is our training ground. We too were junior students, so we know them well. And we learn, because one day, as spiritual beings, we will be working with soul beings at various levels of sophistication on many other planets.
And that, too, is why the organic body of the modern homo sapiens is the host for our souls and fledgling spirits. It is a hyper-sensuous body. We are here to experience all the senses, all the tastes, all the temptations of the body, and understand its capacity for addiction and depravity, for goodness and beauty, art and world domination and genocide and senseless wars and unspeakable cruelty no other animal is capable of.
We are here to learn in the most intense and complex campus in the galaxy. And, we are doing well. Just having read this far and wanting more of Wayism is your proof of how far you have come in the process of evolution. How far you have come from the normal nature of soul-people. You are an awakened spirit-person who is moved and governed by its higher-self spirit-minds.
We are becoming energy workers, like our heavenly family, who are very powerful indeed and are by nature benign, embracing simplicity, humbleness, and helpful loving-kindness.
When we approach the theopathic nexus in our spiritual practice, we experience the sense of one-ness with our heavenly family and the spiritual energy that flows from them into us, and the wisdom we derive from it, is tremendous spiritual sustenance that change us and move us closer to graduation from Butterfly Path.
This experience is often accompanied by intense feelings of joy, peace, and reverence, as well as a deep sense of meaning and purpose. It can be a turning point on the spiritual path, marking a shift from intellectual understanding to direct, embodied knowing.
Beyond the Theopathic Nexus lies an even more profound state known as Theopathic Communion. In this state, the individual consciousness merges completely with the divine consciousness, transcending all sense of separation or duality.

In Wayist teachings, these mystical experiences are not seen as an end in themselves, but rather as signposts and catalysts on the journey of spiritual evolution. They offer a glimpse of our true nature and potential, and they inspire us to continue walking the path of transformation.
It is important to note that while these experiences can be profoundly meaningful and transformative, they are not necessary for spiritual growth. The Wayist path emphasizes the importance of consistent, dedicated practice and the cultivation of qualities such as compassion, wisdom, and self-awareness.
Mystical experiences, when they do occur, are regarded as natural fruits of this practice, arising spontaneously as the soul evolves and awakens. They are not to be grasped or clung to, but rather integrated into the larger fabric of one's spiritual life.
As we navigate the journey of spiritual evolution, it can be helpful to remember that the ultimate goal is not any particular experience or state of consciousness, but rather the full embodiment of our divine nature in every moment of our lives.
Whether we are immersed in the profound stillness of Theopathic Communion or engaged in the daily activities of work, relationships, and service, the invitation is to bring the same presence, love, and wisdom to each encounter.
In this way, our entire lives become a mystical experience, a sacred dance of awakening in which every step, every breath, is an opportunity to deepen our connection to The Way and to each other.

In our next episode, we'll explore the cultivation of compassion, wisdom, and chrestotes – the essential qualities of the Wayist path. Until then, may you trust in the unfolding of your own unique journey, and may every moment be infused with the remembrance of your true, divine nature.
