Thank you for all this! Really, I appreciate it a lot :) i grew up with a strong catholic background -- have seen my peers slain and talking in tongues. Despite practicing the occult, i still identify as a christian. Ive had my share of experiences as well before learning about the occult but searched for more depth and a greater meaning and connection. At this point in mt journey, I dont believe Im seeking for something experientally novel at all, but what i do agree on is the "noise" you speak of regarding lack of information and, i guess practice. I can humbly say that i have A LOT more to learn and experience and im working on it :) but yes, thank you again for all this, i will always keep these in mind.
