It has come to my attention that a couple of people who got ahold of this websites address, are convinced that I am a practitioner of black magick. I am starting this thread in hopes that others will not get the same wrong impression when they read through the information on this site, as I only asked my genius of a best friend to start this website for me in hopes of helping others who are searching for their own personal spiritual truths, to have a few people's personal truths to hear about and think about on their search.
Firstly, I feel the need to make it clear that I am a follower of MANY of this Earth's religions, as from my studies over the past 26 years, I have found that almost every religion in this world has some higher truth in it, with the exception of most forms of Satanism. I am constantly learning however, and I figure that because my highest goal in this life is to become as close to the Divine Parents of the Light that I possibly can in order to heal myself and help others somehow, someday, that my opinions may change over the years. I keep finding more and more spiritual truth the more I look for them, which I feel is a great blessing. "Knock and it shall be opened unto you, seek and ye shall find"... That particular phrase in the Bible has always held a lot of importance to me, as it teaches anyone who wishes to believe in any form of spirituality of the Light that he or she WILL get the answers and find the truths that they need, just as I am. I am also not a "blind sheep" and it's my truth that the very early Catholic church chose to change parts of the bible in order to have more power over the member's of their church. Most modern day Christian's would argue this to the death with me, but I highly doubt the one's who would argue have PERSONALLY researched the Gnostic Gospels, the church's history, etc., like I have.
I am an eclectic practitioner of white magick, in the extreme sense of the word. In my opinion, white magick is performed to help other's, grey magick is performed to help one's self, and black magick is performed to hurt others. Of course it's not as simple as it sounds as sometimes when you help yourself, you also help others. Or sometimes in order to help someone, something or someone else ends up getting hurt. I do NOT believe in practicing any form of black magic as I am a firm believer in karma. I believe that especially when using magick, any harm one does to other's, even if it is on accident, WILL undoubtably come back to one's self in one way or the other, period. If not in this life, than in another.
I am a firm believer in Gnostic Christianity as well, as I have learned that the Catholic Church took away many books of the origional bible around 300 AD, and most probably also changed some of the truths the bible contained. In my opinion, the church probably wanted to keep the masses thinking that only ordained people could truly communicate with God for whatever reasons, possibly financial ones. But because it says in the King James version of the Bible that God will never allow his truths to be hidden from his children, I believe that the Gnostic scriptures are probably the parts of the Bible that were taken out and changed. One must (should) also take into consideration the different ways each of the original words in the bible could be interpreted. That's why I am a firm believer in studying the world's holy writings for myself, praying for an answer to understand them, and going with what feels right in my heart to me as much as possible.
Early Christian's, as many students of spirituality have discovered, all believed in reincarnation because it is something Jesus himself taught while he was on Earth. After much studying of many religions, and reading up on Buddhist's beliefs that the Master Jesus himself went on an extensive journey through India and into the Himalayas to learn higher spiritual truths, I finally came to believe that reincarnation is a belief that feels right to me. I never, ever try to convince anyone else to believe ANY of my own personal spiritual truths, as I know that no 2 people will EVER be able to have the same exact perspective on any experiences, and that is just the way it is meant to be. What feels right to me, may not feel right to anyone else. We are all on our own paths in life, and I don't judge others paths if at all possible, as Jesus and other Master's have taught over and over, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." I am still working on being less and less judgmental of others, as it is a work in progress, like so many other of my personal goals.
The Santeria Lukunmi religion, for instance, has it's roots in a 3,000 year old Yoruba/African tribal religion. They did not change some of their practices concerning sacrifices to their versions of the Divine Parents of the Light, unlike the Jews did. I have never studied yet why the Jews quit taking doves and lambs to their temples and offering them to their version of the God of Light, Jehovah. But many of the African tribal religions still practice the ancient belief in making offerings and sacrifices to their forms of the God of Light. Who am I to judge why this religion continues to make these kind of sacrifices to their versions of the God/Goddess of Light? If I did this, then I would also have to judge the Jews for being told by their version of the God of Light to make these sacrifices in ancient times as well. TO EACH THEIR OWN. That is one of my personal beliefs that I consistently live by. How I wish that others would finally get to this point in their own journey, as Earth would be a much more heavenly place if they could find a way to do this.
According to MANY of the Master's, including Jesus Christ, who have lived and taught on this Earth, Love is the highest power of all. To this day before I react to things that happen in my life, I ask "what would Master Jesus do?", and then I make my choice after thinking about it after awhile. In my opinion, the power of unconditional, pure God-like Love is what conquers all evil in all it's many forms. Divine Parents love EACH OF US the same as we are all their children. Good luck telling them otherwise. I am still doing my best to learn to live by the law of Love others as you would Love thyself, but hope to be an expert at it someday. My goal is to heal from the hardships I went through being raised by baby beating, pedophile, Satanists enough to someday be able to help others to heal from similar hardships. My experiences of what I have gone through while searching for ways to connect spiritually with Divine Parents of the Light are posted on this website, in hopes that my experiences may help others to learn what their own spiritual truths are somehow, or avoid making the same mistakes I have made. I challenge anyone who reads this if you are up to it, to use the power of the purest, unconditional Love that you can muster, and direct it silently to the next person who gets angry with you, just to see what will happen. May you all be blessed by your form of the Creator constantly. Love and Light to you all.
