Ere the council of Treant (1550) popes had harems and children.
It's not a proper talk about inner Christianity without talking about Pope Harems and their Ganymede's.

Hello thread.

Lately I have been really interested in apophatic traditions like Zen, but from a Christian perspective, which led me to Meister Eckhart and The Cloud of Unkowing. Really awesome stuff.

I have my own approach to Christ, which is syncretic and mixes hermeticism with gnosticism and qabalah, basically the way the Rosucrucians did things, but stripped down to just the minimum necessary to feel gnosis and that divine connection with the holy spirit. I believe all these mystical traditions can hinder as much as they help, if you become too engrossed in deciphering them. The finger pointing at the moon is not the moon.

My main goal is not to become a wizard or obtain power, status, or wealth here on Earth. I only care about being closer to God, so I can feel the transcendental love of God more and more in my life, and be utterly annihilated by it, my ego and self image purified by it, so the highest and best version of myself in the eyes of Jesus Christ can manifest in this world, not the version of myself I believe in or imagine, not my will, but HIS WILL BE DONE TO ME. It is like a surrender. Letting go. Submission to God. As it is said in the holy bible, lean not to your own understanding.

Dig your well in one place. It's simpler to just adhere to an exoteric tradition at first rather than busy yourself with piecing together a unique belief system. When you get deeper into the practice, you won't need the Cloud of Unknowing AND Hermetic Qabalah etc. They will seem equivalent and you will need just one simple path. Everything else is a created thing between you and your God.

I'm getting pretty tempted to kill myself soon. I've narrowed down my options to either hanging or getting hit by a train. I still don't have the guts to do it though.
