I recount some intense spiritual experiences I had as a Christian. In part two I will discuss the perspective I have on them now, looking back.

  • do you have any videos on how to develop telekineses?

  • This is awkward for me, because I know you're just asking a friendly question. But there's a bigger picture I have to consider, because you're a pupil at my school. As a rule, I can't, in good conscience, teach you TK, because parents could have all sorts of views on this, positive or negative.

    Whatever knowledge you obtain from my videos is between you and whatever internet freedoms your parents give you, which is outside my control. But I won't engage in actively introducing you to it. Sorry.

  • Ah, the cliffhanger! As an ex-christian I found that prayers with other people was often an extremely emotional event, cathartic and satisfying. This can be used to recruit the lonely and the sad. I don't believe it is done in any sinister way but people are attracted by these rituals. Many get comfort, satisfaction and social contact, often with genuinely nice folk. However, the emotional experience can be mistaken for spiritual experiences and individuals are wide open to indoctrination.

  • "emotional experience can be mistaken for spiritual experiences and individuals are wide open to indoctrination."

    This is sooo true. Again and again (especially in Pentecostalism) I see mass emotion mistaken for the presence of God, often triggered by the use of music and passionate speaking.

  • @darrylsloan This is interesting, I've had similar experiences actually. Including the "funny feeling the stomach" part -accompanied by glossolalia though.

  • Wow, thanks for pointing me to this. Your words are perfect to describe this spiritual experience. A deep 'knowing' of God and his love for us, that feeling of being 'plugged in' to the mains or something much larger than ourselves, yeah I can relate!. Brilliant vid.

  • :-) No harm done, mate. I thought it was a bit weird when I checked your page and saw you were a subscriber, and I thought, "Hmm, why did you sub, if you feel that way?" Thanks for clearing that up.

  • Darryl, Im sorry man...i did not write that comment..I actually do not know where it came from..i must have logged on to someone alse computer..i am pissed at whoever wrote it thiough..seriously, i think you are brilliant and I dont feel that way.

  • The things you say only reveal your own character to everyone, not mine.

    How many people do you honesty think will form an opinion about ME, based on an abusive comment like yours? Whereas how many people will form an opinion about YOU? Think about it.

  • Consciousness is god, the whole of everything. We all are concious as well as having mind and body. The conclusion is, we are all god. Very simple, but our mind does like to complicate things.

  • Thank you a lot, Darryl.

  • Hi Darryl, I can relate completely to the heartbreak story. And it is amazing how your life does change direction because of it.
