Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi Brandi: Yes, I read a little about Mother Teresa's situation. Personally I felt that something was wrong. That perhaps she was working too hard. As she felt the connection before she started her mission, so to say, and then again when she went on vacation. Perhaps it is only my own projection about my own situation. It was not an easy job that she did for sure. But i didn't care for the fact that it sounded to me like she was not being honest with the public. That she was portraying one image of her relationship with G*d but that was not her experience. Just my 2 cents and my goodness, that wouldn't even buy a penny candy anymore. Thanks Brandi for sharing. Sounds like you've been through the mill with ministers and priests also. After many tears I made the decision to leave Traditional Christianity. I guess they told me that what i was experiencing wasn't Christian one too many times. I finally heard what they were saying and agreed. Not that I don't see much beauty there still. Moon Brandi Jasmine <jazztalk wrote: Have you read about the recent revelations about Mother Teresa?

That's one way to look at it - as valid as any other. I can't argue with it. At the same time, I drew a lot of comfort from the idea that someone like her had a similar experience to mine, and that she was able to accomplish so much in the face of that doubt I find inspiring. I do think it is sad she could not share it with anyone. That was the hardest part for me, too. >Thanks Brandi for sharing. Sounds like you've been through the mill with >ministers and priests also. Yup ... I was tempted to write a book called " Confessions of a Reluctant Heretic " ... I am still tempted! <g> >After many tears I made the >decision to leave Traditional Christianity.

Actually I decided to leave it too .. after my initial experiences with what I believe is Kundalini energy, I found it impossible to put all the pieces back together again.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Brandi the book sounds great. > >Thanks Brandi for sharing.

I am still tempted! <g> This expression you used here Brandi is priceless to me. " > Actually I decided to leave it too .. after my initial experiences with what I believe is Kundalini energy, I found it impossible to put all the pieces back together again. > " Yes i guess this is what happened to me also. All the pieces could never be put back the way they were before Kundalini. I totally didn't understand this. Dang, i see now that i kept putting indoor Elmer's glue on the cracks to put the pieces back together again the way they used to be. Then everything kept coming unglued again in my tears. Thanks so much Moon > Brandi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not afraid of that, I just don't know if I want that kind of energy in my life right now. >is what happened to me also. All the pieces could never be put >back the way they were before Kundalini. I totally didn't understand >this. Actually in my case, I immediately tried to get the Elmer's Glue ... and for me that was Bible study. Unfortunately for me, the more I studied, the more I realized that what is taught in most churches isn't even close to the truth as it is widely known and accepted by most mainstream scholars. Few are teaching what they know. >Dang, i see now that >i kept putting indoor Elmer's glue on the cracks to put the pieces >back together again the way they used to be. There are a lot of other people who have been through this. They just don't all fully realize it as we do. I think the term " Christ Consciousness " in comes out of a deep longing to cling to at least some part of a Christian past. >Then everything kept coming unglued again in my tears. I spent many years in that space, not just with tears, but also with anger. It was a long time before I could let go of my bitterness and resentment. It still comes up at times. I recently had something of a healing on that (I hope) ... which is another reason I haven't pursued the book. I think a book like that works better if the author has some fire in the belly ... and I am tired of it if you know what I mean. I just want to accept it now, that's the healing step.
