		<description>I totally agree.  This is all so blasphemus.  You're following the wrong leader, and his plan is to take you so far away from the truth that when you finally realize it's the wrong path it will be too late.  I pray the Holy Spirit will stir your soul, convince you to not dabble in this evil, and repent and turn to your one and only saviour, Jesus Christ.  "Blessed be the name of the Lord!"</description>

		<description>I have a hard time believing that you can write such inconsequential blather that is so misleading to people already lost and yet hold a position of influence at an institution like Bethel.  It is an indication of how truly lost you must be.  If this is a "literary tool" and you're just trying to be creative, STOP!  You're doing more harm than good if you're joking.  You're the blind leading the blind if you're serious.</description>

Valkyrie,

Welcome to "into the mystic." "Labeling" or "naming" is a helpful tool for communicating. As long as it is honest, appreciative and collaborative. Islam, for example must be respected as a religion that believes itself incompatible with the African based spiritism it encounters in Africa. 

We must not say, Islam is uniting with African based spiritism if they believe and say they are  imcompatible. "Naming" things accurately is a key to understanding in our pluralistic world.

Thank you so much for your contribution and input.</description>

		<description>Alex, 
This reminds me of the bumper sticker I saw in my favorite occult book shop here in San Fransisco.

"I'm one too". 

Kinda says it all, doesn't it? Welcome to the club. We go by many names and titles but we're all part of the same "nation"--the same mystical movement. Religion  labels mean nothing.  Just The Mystic will do. World religions are uniting and the planet will never be the same. Glad to read this. Blessed be.

		<description>Alex, 
I ran across this post on another blog with language that mirrors what I've heard of these mystic warriors.  The language moves me, with shudders and anticipation...

And...exactly how do you know that you look horrible in
purple tights?</description>
