Don't know where else to ask this, I had a really sunny dream out of nowhere involving eating an olive from a tree and when I woke up I saw my dark room wall and in white the shape of an angel falling (head+robe+wings) and then I noticed it's beak and that it was a dove, was I visited by the holy spirit or something? It's not like I did any prayer or anything so I'm confused.

Gold is a material that reflects God's properties. People who are into crystal kinda got it right, they just missed the fact that the majority of crystals are inferior to the properties of gold, pure gold.

I should look into Esotericism in America
Sadly Latin America and the Caribbean only seems to have Syncretic religions, nothing genuinely Catholic, unless maybe the Haitian Martinists
Protestant America though did have theosophers

>>42414763
Yes that's obvious. The church fathers had classical educations. They transfigured Plato, Plotinus, and Proclus into the doctrines of the Church.
Liturgically, Christianity is also an evolution of Pagan ritual. Some people might try to frame this in a way that detracts from Christianity, but for me, it's what led me to it.
A few weeks ago I was complaining about the historicity of Jesus ITT and a friendly anon brought up the historicity of Socrates. I ended up going down a rabbit hole culminating in reading the works of St. Maximus the Confessor, contacting a priest, meeting him, and last Sunday I went to Church for the first time for the sole reason of wanting to become closer to God.
I fully understand your position, it was mine for almost 10 years. I never found any pagan practice that wasn't pure LARP from a handful (at most) of dysgenic weirdos that also had complexes about Christians persecuting them.
People irl have accused me of trad LARP because I'm interested in the Orthodox church, but in reality I already live pretty trad with my wife and kids, so if anything I'm eliminating LARP by finding a true home for my hope for mystical union with God. Something to actually participate in instead of speculative LARP in group chats and discord servers. Feels good man.
>>
>>42415949
I'm certainly not pure enough to critique how others participate in the christ, I just saw a mixed motive and was curious about its nature. Hippies would say something like "worship the creator not the creation" or something else, and I always resonated with that. Needless to say I don't have many good things aside from christ and worldly vices to lean on, so I'm going to lean defensive in that regard. Christ flailed about angrily saying to the people "stop making a mockery of my father's house!" I feel that way all the time despite myself being far from respectable, I feel like a kid that's upset that they can't have their cake and eat it too. I'm in my own world of sorts, just the bible and lots of empty silence and vices.
