"Emotional Integrity" in the title? What even is a "Mystic"? And who am I to even audaciously claim to be one?
I assure you, babe or dude, a mystic is not initiated by man nor restricted their social dignities or social indignities when it comes to matters of seeking these deeper understandings, nor does he (or she, although I've yet to hear of a woman mystic for some reason) ever claim to be mystic from a place of anything else but responsibility and duty as such in the specific moments and times where they would only, of course, be authentic to themselves if-then stood up. Obviously. There is no glory nor respect given by any unto the mystic and rarely if at all.
For the most part, we are killed due to making others feel exactly the denials they did not wish to feel, through the witness of our mystic ways shining light on the hypocritical denial - like that matters of the heart are formulated through specifically, caring. The depth of how much one cares is the entire center point to which they will either balance with a thing into harmony or faulted and be crushed by its weight. And every relationship quarrel specifically is in need of integrity.
I was counseling a friend, and in calming her down I saw that she, of course, hurts because she loves him (her partner) and that he, of course, hurt because he loves her. And yet it's exactly that, -the thing that is specifically evident, and obvious, and unmistakable and clear to each party -love- -that was being debated and denied inside the minds of both, and to both ends. And isn't this how it works with each of us? We seek a reason to believe they don't love us, we seek a reason to harbor thoughts that they don't care, and in our pain, an echoing voice emerges, not a true voice but one we do make it true as though we need it to be true to us, by chosen inner dialogue. And we suffer it purposefully in our commitment to it but yet without purpose in our sense of better judgment for self-care - without purpose in our truth from the heart, or towards that truth from the heart. But actually, in denial of that truth from the heart. The fact is, we-LOVE.
It is easy, it is simple, and it is true, and yet we come up with an infinite amount of reasoning to ourselves to deny it's truth. And I believe that is the ultimate mistake. Spiritually speaking, it may even be the first mistake from the level of the spirit. Lots of times we tend to think and believe that the level of our spirit is perfect and pure and innocent and that might be true in the eyes of God - but what about in the eyes of our spirit to itself? Just look at how we accuse others of being deceptive and look at our paranoia over the ones we love, is it so hard for us to believe that they are authentic? In fact, in that case, since we put it that way - wouldn't we rather think to ourselves "Of course they are sincere, why would they lie? I have no reason to doubt them" -and it would be so much healthier for the relationships we have with the people around us in our lives. But we only find it more "true" to ourselves that they are lying, or have ill intent when we ourselves feel that we deserve to be lied to, having already a constant self-blame ingrained in ourselves, we seek to fulfill it. I know many of these themes are talked about in parts already but as we put it all together we find that in general, as a whole of humanity, who can you truly say you know is without this aspect?
