Pathway of the Christian

Minor grammar corrections  4/17/14

I guess you could say that this blog entry is about seeing things through the eyes of a Christian.  I capitalize the 'C' out of respect for Jesus Christ.  I would say that Christians know the names of God, but a majority of them don't know how to use them.   Freemasons would be the opposite - they know what they could use the names for, but don't know the names.  Actually, I would say Freemasons don't know where to look for the name.   Most of all compiled Christian knowledge comes from the popular book - the Bible.   Take some time to do a little research in the old testament where God shows his people how to pray.  The King James version refers to 'Yahweh' as being the name of God.  I would say that his name is pronounced "YAH WAY" as I recalled hearing it in church.  When you find that prayer it is worded like, "May Yahweh do this... and may Yahweh do that..." with 'this' and 'that' meaning various things you are praying for.  After the world fell into sin, God had right to be here.  You have to bring him in with an affirmation.  That affirmation is 'May' and it allows Him into the world to take some kind of action.  A lot of Christians don't know this.

The new testament is different because changes occurred after Christ died.  There was a new method to prayer.  Prayer no longer referred to the old 'Yahweh', but now took into account a trinity concept with respect to God.  Search for the verses.  I think it is in one of the first 4 books of the new testament.  One had to start to pray by calling out to the Father, but the tail end of the prayer would state '...in Jesus Christ'.   Many churches don't grasp this concept.  Prayer is now a 2-part process.

Tithing is also another concept from church.  I should be covering this topic in another blog entry.   

Spiritual Force Energy: Just Pretend, Pray to the Spirits and They Perform Tasks

Updated 6-2-2015

I have studied many types of magic. I had come up with my own system of magic and had developed my own magic called the "Forces".  Using the process of prayer from the Bible I had created a prayer to those spirits I referred to as the "Forces".  One can view these spirits as part of God.

In the past, I have studied books from the Al Manning.   Manning ran the ESP Lab of Texas.  I believe it is now run by his son in Colorado.   I had also devoted time to a book called, How to Use Astral Power: Key to a Miraculous New Life.    I combined both to create my hybrid system.   I utilized the concept of prayer from the Bible to create my system.

I found that by practicing New Avatar Power and learning other forms of magic I had a real interest in this sort of thing.  I bought occult book after occult book soaking up information like a sponge soaks up water.  I wanted to learn as many of the secrets as I could.  I wasn't a fan of all Manning's magic, but his book on Gnostic Magic shed some light on how to give up things to get other things. It was kind of like sacrifice or trading things with the spiritual world.  Manning believed one should have fun with the spirit world. The other author, Reginald De Koven MacNitt, was a U of M professor who wrote about Astral Power was a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. His form of magic was similar to prayers. Spirits would then intervene after we called or prayed to them. I probably used more these author's philosophies than anything else to develop my own magic. I was to the point that I could write my own rituals.

To be successful, you have to suspend your judgement.  Just pretend something is there just like a child pretends to have an imaginary playmate.  We all used that imagination at an early age, but now we forget.  Practice again.

Let's get started on this journey together...

Bargaining with the Christian God

Updated Title 6-2-2015

This is the hardest entry to write, and I've saved it until last to comment on.   I grew up on prayer that wasn't being answered.  I had commented elsewhere in this blog that God doesn't answer prayer.  If He did exist as Christians say he did he'd say, "Hi", now and then.  Thus, I became a deist: God set the Earth in motion and He sits back.  It [the Earth] is up to man at this point.  

I reached a stage to make bargains with God.  If you have never gotten an answer to prayer maybe you need to bargain with him.  I recall I made a bargain when we lost one of our dogs.   My wife was pretty distressed.  Our beagle-cocker spaniel dog had jumped the fence.  I bargained that if our dog came back I'd read the old testament by a certain date.  The dog came back in just over 24 hours being missing.  Whether God was really behind it or whether the dog came back on her own is still a question.  I had the obligation to read the old testament.  I started reading, but missed fulfilling my end of the bargain by the deadline.  I did finish the old testament of the Bible eventually.   The dog would run away again and was gone longer: over 48 hours!   I bargained going to church again.  The dog returned and I did hold up my part of the bargain - I would attend a church service.

Think what you will, but bargains might work when you don't see results from regular prayer.
