The Heretic Christian
CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALITY, CONTEMPLATION, MYSTICISM AND PROPHECY. When you feel called, when a Book or a church or rote prayers are not enough, when you long to be with Him, or if you've had an extraordinary experience and no one else seems to understand, possibly including you, I get that.

Jesus of Nazareth was declared a heretic, in fact, an "arch heretic" by the highest authorities in Israel. He was banned 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."
What the Gehenna?
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.

The Heretic Christian
Spirituality—Christian Style 1/3
Kyrie says: After a debate about what “traditional Christian mysticism,” is, I searched for a definition that would make sense to most Christians. In a dissertation written by a Ph.D. candidate from a school of theology, the Introduction formed a path through specifically Christian Spirituality to Christian Contemplation to Christian Mysticism. It ended with a section on the Christian Prophet, which I did first, because it's a subset of Christian Mystics.
But this first is about Spirituality.
This evolution from average church-going believer to Christian wanting and needing to keep moving toward a more intimate relationship with Christ, seems to fit the paths laid out by most of the major mystics I'm familiar with.
Using the paper as a base, I offer to you the ideas and definitions, intending to retain what the theologian said, while making the language more accessible to a general audience.
HOWEVER - THIS IS NOT A TOPIC EXCLUSIVE TO THE ELECT. Consider these three things referred to as bringing the mystery of Christ into your own life:
- The Incarnation...bringing Christ to the world in practical service to others.
- The Crucifixion...embracing a daily dying to the wants of the material self.
- The Resurrection.....a rebirth in the Spirit, leading to living a new life in the here and now.
Every follower of Jesus Christ is on some section of the path. But these are the things those on the path, fully share.
