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 authorities in Israel. He was expelled from the Temple and declared anathema along with His followers, all 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 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 Gospel "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 considered it 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 share my experiences and others' and tell you what the most recognized mystics have revealed again and again over 2000 years.

S2:Visions E2: BUBBLES—the Eternal Connection
For from the greatness and the beauty of created things, their Original Author, by analogy, is seen. Wisdom 13:5
BUBBLES. The first thing I did for this episode is make the title card that goes with it. I hope you can see it. If not, I have a post for the episode image here.
The simple topic is our connectedness to God. The subtext is Universalism - all shall be reconciled to Him. Let's listen to Saint Isaac:
"This is the mystery: that all creation by means of One, has been brought near to God in a mystery; then it is transmitted to all; thus all is united to Him...This action was performed for all of creation; there will, indeed, be a time when no part will fall short of the whole." Saint Isaac the Syrian, 7th century.
So much of what we are given in our moments of connection is lost when we try to express the unexpressable in language. Much is also lost when we translate from one language to another. But this last thought was repeated by Julian centuries later.
From Saint Isaac we learn the simplicity of Our Lord's most profound teachings, that works in any language:
"As a handful of sand thrown into the ocean, so are the sins of all flesh as compared with the mind of God; as a fountain that flows abundantly is not dammed by a handful of earth, so the compassion of the Creator is not overcome by the wickedness of the creatures... "
How arrogant do we have to be to believe we can alter God? That we can make Divine Love, not loving? Our real problem is, we can say we believe but mostly we don't believe God is in us. And that we are as much God as the Incarnate Jesus if we follow Him.
