- Im sorry to intrude again but I would like to ask a question if I
- may.
- Josh, I have neglected to write you directly because I may find other
- answers useful this time.
- I am a christian and have been for 3 years now(dont hold it against
- me please) and I would like to ask you a question in all honesty.
- I still use mind expansion exercises frequently and other related
- abilities. I am afraid that the christian church still defines these
- as BAD. Morality is not my question. My church will not give me an unbiased
- answer so Im asking you.
- Do you believe my continuance in mind expansion is a remanent and continuance
- of magical usage or simply colorful imagery that helps me deal with problems
- in a different light.
- For example:
- If I am unsure of whether there is someone near me I "reach out" with my mind
- to "see if I feel" someone there. I use the logic that if I use that imagery
- it will heighten my 5 senses to allow me to see what I would have seen
- eventually anyway.Not magical, Simply Imagery.
- I am not asking for religious advice as you have made it clear this is
- not the newsgroup for it.Simply an opinion. Thankyou.
