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."

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.

Galilean Gospel 2: Expanding the Canon
CANON
- a general law, rule, principle, or cultural criterion, i.e., "the appointment violated the canons of fair play and equal opportunity"
- a single or a group of official, authentic or approved writings, rules or laws: particularly ecclesiastical.
- events that officially happened in a fictional universe. So an official book by the author would be considered canon, but not "fan fiction" departures
- A canon event is an experience in a person's life that comes to shape or define who they are.
If Galilean Gospel is to focus primarily on ensarkosology, we need sources of information about what Jesus said, did and intended us to know during the Incarnation without limiting our search for Him to a few writings chosen and retranslated by men assuming the power to limit the Galilean disciple.
It is we who must decide what we will trust as a source to information, and how we will validate our choices.
------------------from Clement of Alexandria in a letter to the Bishop of Jerusalem:
"As for Mark, then, during Peter's stay in Rome he wrote an account of the Lord's doings, not, however, declaring all of them, nor yet hinting at the secret ones, but selecting what he thought most useful for increasing the faith of those who were being instructed.
"But when Peter died a martyr, Mark came over to Alexandria, bringing both his own notes and those of Peter, from which he transferred to his former book the things suitable to whatever makes for progress toward knowledge. Thus he composed a more spiritual Gospel for the use of those who were being perfected. Nevertheless, he yet did not divulge the things not to be uttered, nor did he write down the hierophantic teaching of the Lord, but to the stories already written he added yet others and, moreover, brought in certain sayings of which he knew the interpretation would, as a mystagogue, lead the hearers into the innermost sanctuary of that truth hidden by seven veils. Thus, in sum, he prepared matters, neither grudgingly nor incautiously, in my opinion, and, dying, he left his composition to the church in 1, verso Alexandria, where it even yet is most carefully guarded, being read only to those who are being initiated into the great mysteries.
