Talitha,
"The fact is that the God of Christianity (also known as "Yah," which someone else on this thread observed) has forbidden the mixing of religions. If you mix Christianity with something else, you end up with something that is not Christianity at all. "
- Christianity is a mixture already. It becomes obvious to anyone who knows the history well enough. The real history, not the legend supported by Christian Church and by faith of the Church Christians. To be a mixture does not always mean something wrong. I think any teaching is a mix, a result of interacting different cultures. It's normal. But sometimes mixing is a wrong indeed. So we must differentiate these two situations. Probably mixing is a wrong when lofty ideals cannot be manifested through the mixture. Not merely lofty ideals, but ideals which correspond to current stage of society consciousness. I think the Church Christianity is not a perfect mixture in this sense. Because it separate God from people by declaring Jesus a part of Trinity, although Jesus himself placed divinity among people: "what you do for somebody that you do for Me" (I'm not sure in this English version of the statement, but I hope the sense is understood). Separating God from people leads to a form of idolatry and it is deadly sin of Christian Church. In the effort to exalt Jesus the Church debased him in fact. It was also the way of transformation of the Church into a sect. But if we also place divinity among people, we will get a new understanding of Christianity, it would be Christianity without racial and religious frontiers. So, I have certainly ended up with something that is not Church Christianity at all, but it definitely is Christianity.
"I strayed from what I know is the TRUTH (using all-caps to distinguish TRUTH from mere facts) because I wanted to do my own thing."
- Regarding Castaneda. I’m glad to “see” here person who is familiar with all his books. Really with all? That means you was really carried with his books. So I still hope to convert you to magic once again
What is the Satanic deception you are talking about? You should aware it very clearly. If you don’t, your understanding is not inspired by the Lord, as you think. I don’t take all what Castaneda described. I take only the best, the very abstract essence of magic. I took only what I wanted to take. Probably it was your problem – you took it as it is. It is only a stage of a person’s development, we make a mistake and then we can correct it. God permits us to make mistakes, if they are results of our sincere belief. God likes hot and cold, not mere warm, as stated in the Bible. According to it, do you think God likes Castaneda more then millions followers of the Christian Church, who are mere warm indeed? It is the main question: in fact the ideal of Christian Church is to make those “mere warm” as many as possible. But TRUTH makes us free, do you remember? I can freely feel about anything, but you cannot. You have forbidden subjects in your consciousness, which is the result of the Church propaganda. The freedom is the only inner criterion of TRUTH, isn’t it?
