Rather than embracing religious or spiritual teachings blindly, 

question what you read or hear and consider other viewpoints.

For those who claim that metaphysical practices such as 

astrology and numerology are sinful, we recommend reading 

"The Christian Conspiracy," by Dr. L. David Moore, who is 

a life-long Christian. Dr Moore outlines the Vatican political 

process of cannon selection (the editing of the Bible) that took 

place for 500 years after the death of Jesus. Some principles 

made the cut, many others were thrown out, and all decisions 

were based on the opinions of a religious group attempting to 

make their organization the most popular and powerful.

Dr Moore writes, "The major point to be understood is that 

the Old Testament upon which so much of early Christianity 

depended in order to have a historical basis and to become 

legitimized, didn't officially exist until well after

Christianity had been established and even after much of

what later became the New Testament had been written. In

addition, one major reason for establishing the Old Testament

as canon was because during the first century C.E.,

Christianity was distorting the historical record in order

to enhance their own new religion."

Surely one recognizes the strong potential in the production 

process of the Bible for many spiritual truths to be overlooked 

and even avoided altogether.

Also, historical evidence points to the idea that the 

manufacturing of Christianity involved borrowing heavily 

from Pagan and other ancient spiritual philosophies (many 

were distorted to suit the Church's views).

Regarding the fear of demonic possession by exploring 

metaphysical practices, practicing any form of spirituality 

(including organized, traditional ones) from a base of fear 

can lower your vibration and make you more susceptible 

to negative energy.

Dr Moore goes on to say, "In addition to the extensive editing 

and rewrites of the Bible, there was the influence of the 

Inquisition or the Holy Calling (1231--1820). This was 

established by the Papacy to punish anyone who expressed a 

belief in reincarnation or practiced anything metaphysical that 

would threaten the universal control of the Church. They 

proclaimed these beliefs as the work of the devil and any 

believers were sent to dungeons, tortured, or burned to 

death."

Fear of persecution in many ways still exists today.

There are many different ways to connect with spirit: 

Meditation, prayer, attending religious or spiritual services, 

spending time in nature, making love, enjoying a good meal, 

and many others. If your preferred method is legal, it works 

for you, and if you've done your homework to make sure it 

isn't hurting you or anyone else, go for it.
