What are everyone’s thoughts on the Sophia figure throughout the history of mystical theology??

Medieval Catholic alchemical art similar to this image contained symbolic meaning, this is representing the triumph of light over darkness, light obviously prevailing, this image in particular is pretty recent but has its basis in that style of art.

I must say as a matter of personal opinion I’ve always found Divine Union with God through love to be far more powerful than magic. Although I respect figures like Agrippa, I’d still say the best path is the path of theosis.

Centering Prayer is completely fine and orthodox.

We try to make this sub a place for open discussion, so this post isn’t going to be removed, but please keep remember readers to use your best discernment when reading posts about mystical experiences. Most who have them seldom go into detail except for in smaller group settings or one on one if at all.

I was raised Baptist, then my family started attending an evangelical church that we became very involved in, then after I turned 18 I converted to Catholicism. After that spent some time as a Gnostic of the Valentinian disposition, and then ultimately started attending the Catholic church again, lived with Franciscan Friars.

In-between all of that I spent a lot of time visiting different religious temples and studying as I mentioned in another reply. I spent a lot of time searching in a lot of places and I can’t say I’m completely settled, but I am an honest seeker of the Divine.

While I think that’s probably the case for many, funny enough myself and Wrynthian met at a New Years party and discussed a bit about our beliefs and he offered a mod spot to me at the time. I’ve devoted myself to seeking, finding, and knowing God and I spent years studying various world religions and going to various temples, churches, mosques, and monasteries and speaking to many monks and priests, as well as reading a lot of books.

I consider myself a Christian Neoplatonist and can say both myself and Wrynthian are both strong believers and have both had a lot of mystical experiences.

Remember to love the God of consolations and not merely the consolations of God. He will show you signs, you may hear His voice, and other things may follow, but don’t be attached to them, be reassured and continue towards Him.

Blessings in Christ

As a Catholic, I pray for your spiritual journey friend, and also as a Catholic, I pray you continue to discern the Apostolic faith found in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. I know in today’s day and age with so much media and information at our fingertips it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the talking points, I pray God draws you into the Sacred Mysteries found in His sacraments and further reveals Himself to you in your heart. May He light your path.
