Missouri Mystic

A Story of One Man's Passionate Search for God

by Jon Mundy, Ph.D.

Mundy's quest for God unfolds against the backdrop of his personal life, and he is in no way exempt from the milestones and melodramas that we all share in our earthly experience. This guy from Missouri tells all about the women he's loved and lost, the money he's made and lost, and the disappointments he's encountered and overcome. Says Mundy, “there is no learning in pain, There is learning, however, in the overcoming of pain.”

The two most memorable stories in the book have to do with Mundy's personal experiences with death. His first death trip is intentional. In Castaneda-esque style Mundy seeks out a Mexican shaman who uses psychotropic drugs to create a bodyless death journey, which he describes as hellish, intensely painful, and insane. The second death trip is Mundy's battle with colon cancer, which is more worldly but just as hellish, painful, and insane. Ultimately it brings Mundy to the point of letting go of all the expectations, hang-ups, regrets and nostalgia of what might have been. “The acceptance of death brings an incredible awareness. And...an unexpected manifestation of intense compassion. Tears come to my eyes and love in all its glory intoxicates my heart.”

Missouri Mystic is Jon Mundy's gift of love to the world. It is not to be missed.
