Dua Sebai Maa, Dua Seba Dja, Dua fellow aspirants,
The discussions regarding mysticism and New Ageism hit very close to home. I remained quiet during the chat meeting for two reasons 1) I wanted to hear what the teachings said regarding these subjects; 2) I wanted to reason out the answer and see if I had the correct understanding. After being involved in New Ageism for 25 years I realized New Ageism was not complete early on, however, did not find a religion that was not faith based until finding Neterianism. Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and being told I was demonized because I had “psychic abilities” and I questioned what I was being taught as a child, I learned to keep quiet. I always believed that “psycbuc abilities” were normal and everyone had them. So at 19 I began my journey. Along the way I realized I must reason out my answers for myself and learned through life experience, a difficult journey, however, it was preparing me for this study. This discussion has put to rest my fear that my understanding was incorrect after studying the teachings. This seems to be my ari dynamic, learn through experience and then I receive the answer through study to validate what I had learned. I cannot express my appreciation enough for all the gifts I have received by being part of this group! Dua!!!! Htp
