5.0 out of 5 stars Into the Mystic Clears the Mist, August 5, 2008

"Into the Mystic", was a most enjoyable and enlightening experience. The author helped me realize that, as a person with no psychic ability whatsoever, it was still possible for me to act as a conduit for someone else.

A friend who possesses a great deal of spirituality and psychic ability suggested that I join him at a drumming circle. The people at the circle were warm and welcoming. Each of the distinct sessions of the evening was carefully explained prior to group participation. One particular session required that you partner with a stranger, make physical contact (i.e. touching of an arm or leg), and act as a pathway or messenger from the spiritual world to the here and now. My partner happened to be an elderly woman who seemed troubled. We made contact by touching a leg and proceeded through the session. At the conclusion of the session you are required to express what the spiritual world had revealed to you for your partner. I did not believe that I had received anything that would help the old woman but she still seemed so troubled. I decided that she needed to rid herself of whatever it was that was troubling her. I told her that she had been carrying a burden for a very long time, and she had carried it long enough. It was time to place the burden down and enjoy her life. The woman seemed a little overwhelmed and so very appreciative. The evening ended as it had begun, very comfortably. On the way home I explained to the friend that had brought me to the circle what had transpired with the old woman. I was a little disappointed, but not surprised, by my failure to receive a message for the old woman until I read, "Into the Mystic".

Reading this book made me realize that my experience with the old woman seemed disappointing because I was viewing it from my perspective and not hers. I did not sense a message, or for that matter, anything else. "Into the Mystic", made me realize that it wasn't about me it was about HER. What I related to the old woman following the session was the message. The fact that I didn't understand the message did not detract from the message or its effect on the old woman.

Thank you Dennis P. McMahon for helping me see through the mist(ic)....

Into the Mystic by Dennis P. McMahon, is one of those books that draws you in immediately, and once you start to read it, it's very difficult to put down. I loved it on so many levels ... having lost a daughter in 2003, I could relate to Dennis's pain as well as the amazing connection that we both continue to share with our children.

It's serious and heartbreaking, but with a bit of good old Brooklyn humor thrown in. It is a "must read" for any spiritual seeker.

This review is from: Into the Mystic: (From the Streets of Brooklyn) (Paperback)

Dennis McMahon's book is about his personal spiritual journey that "normal people" can thoroughly enjoy. Not a professed "mystic" himself but an ordinary guy from Brooklyn, his journey begins with a visitation from his son, now a teen in the afterlife, who had died as an infant. Soon realizing he has the ability to "talk to dead people", he listens to their advice -- not just what he hears in his head, but noticing synchronistic messages and clues from license plates and the appearance of certain numbers at times when he needs feedback. He realizes that this is one way that spirits can get messages across to their earthly subjects.
He struggles with severe claustrophobia, which is healed by the end of the book by following his spirit guides' promptings. He joins a mystical shamanic drum circle which was very healing. I must thank Dennis for explaining what they are, as I have never understood what a drum circle was all about. All in all, an easy read, and inspirational for anyone who deals with phobias or fears they need to overcome, or anyone newly embarking on their spiritual journey. Dennis's book feels like a warm friend.
