The Heretic Christian
When you feel called, when reading books and church and rote prayers are just not enough, when you long for Him, to be with Him, or if you've had an extraordinary experience and you found no one else seems to understand, possibly including you, yourself, I am reaching out to you, so that the Elect can find and support each other.
Jesus of Nazareth was declared a heretic, in fact, an "arch heretic" by the highest authority of the church He was born into—expelled from the Temple, declared anathema along with His followers, sentenced to death. To believe Him, to believe there is no hell as we commonly think of it and know He never said so, to know hat all will be saved, to know "eternal life" means we simply move from this material existence to Eternity because there is no death, makes me and others who follow the Savior's true teachings "heretics."
Julian of Norwich, mystic and contemplative, in speaking about receiving visions and revelations from God said: "...measure these experiences according to the worship they accrue to God and the profit to your fellow Christians..."
I never shared much about my own experiences. I just thought it was all personal. But now, having read what Julian said, maybe I'm wrong or maybe it's time, because the God that loves us knows right now, we need the True Gospel.
I'll share my experiences and others' and tell you what the most recognized mystics have revealed again and again over 2000 years.
It's time, in this day of international insta-communication and worldwide tribulation to spread the good news to all people, as Jesus said. This podcast is for the called, the Elect—anyone who longs to be oned with the Absolute—the unfathomable Love and Light that we call God.
EPISODES
The Heretic Christian
2.5 Issues in Contemplation
(They wouldn't let me make it episode 2.5 in the list, so just go with the title.)
Before embarking on a practice of contemplative prayer, there are three things you should know:
1. What dryness is.
2. What spiritual jealousy is.
3. Why might consolations can vary widely.
Kyrie, who likes chatting better than podcasting as she is no professional talker of things recorded as is obvious from the clinking of the spoon in the teacup, presents this shortish Bonuscast before Episode 3, the Contemplation Primer.
Or whatever she might decide to call it when she actually records it, during which she stops talking about herself in 3rd person.
