August 31, 2023 | Bethel Park Public Library, 6:30 p.m. EDT
Emily Rodavich, author of two books on the subject, has coined that phrase to mean those unexplainable happenings that unexpectedly
punctuate our lives. They can appear as pleasant “coincidences” or life-changing “synchronicities,” such as meeting the right person who helps you move forward at the perfect time of your need. Or they can be a sign from a departed loved one (such as a song, butterfly or aroma) while you are thinking of that person, a spontaneous healing, seeing the same numbers repeatedly, déjà vu, a near-death experience (NDE), a vision of a past life, or a variety of other surprising, unexplainable incidents. Emily asserts that these occur in everyone’s life to lesser or greater degrees. She will share some of her personal experiences, discuss the precious benefits to be gained from acknowledging mystical interludes as they come into your life, and suggest ways for you to increase them for the purpose of enhancing well-being.

Join Emily for an exciting book talk that will inspire you to contemplate your own life’s extraordinary moments. | Heritage Library, 52 4th St, McDonald, PA 15057. Call (724) 926-8400 for details.

This presentation will show that everybody has mystical interludes—spontaneous incidents or happenings that can inspire wonder—to one degree or another. These events are windows into the real world, reminding us that we are spiritual beings inhabiting physical bodies. Acknowledging these windows and sharing our insights with others can lead to a shift in our view of reality.
Teaching Points:
- Understanding the meaning of the term mystical Interludes can help us recognize them in our lives.
- We can benefit from identifying mystical interludes as they happen.
- Thinking and talking about a mystical interlude intensifies our experience of it.
- Until we experience a thing, we know only the idea of it, rather than knowing it. E.g. Until we have experienced Love, or childbirth, or parachuting from a plane, we can only imagine an idea of it.
Participation:
- Whole Group Question and Answer
- Small Group Discussion
- Whole Group Reporting
Emily Rodavich is a retired English teacher, mother of three and grandmother of four children. She had a near death experience at age eighteen which seemingly opened the door to many subsequent spiritual events. Unable to share her mystical experiences with most friends or family for fear they’d think her “strange,” she kept them to herself. Realizing in her later years the precious benefits of those happenings on her life, she wrote Mystical Interludes: An Ordinary Person’s Extraordinary Experiences in which she chronicles ten of her stunning interludes. Believing that everybody experiences mystical interludes to some degree, she is dedicated to collecting stories from other ordinary people like herself for her current book, Mystical Interludes II: Extraordinary Experiences of Ordinary People. Her mission is to do her part to support our spiritual evolution by bringing these important events out of shadow into the light. In so doing, she foresees a day when mystical interludes will be accepted as normal human events, rather than strange or weird occurrences.
