In my experience modern Christianity has a pretty substantial shadow/egregore of elitism and exclusivism, wherein a lot of Christians believe their path is the only true path and everything non-Christian is 'demonic' or 'satanic.'

Anyone else experience this?

I wrote this piece at one time exploring this.

Warm wishes,

curious to hear from others on how they are working with or synthesizing these wisdom-streams

here is one thing i wrote today about how i'm seeing them:

1/

what is Christ?

a mystery

a (supra)personal emanation of the heart of infinity

a meta-pattern of wholeness

a living presence of Love

a good shepherd

a savior & redeemer

a friend

2/

if people are drawn toward Jesus Christ or Christianity, deep healing and heart-opening can occur through faith, love, and devotion

at the same time, if people are not drawn to this wisdom-stream, that is also okay

freedom, wholeness, and love are ever-present and ever-available

3/

i also really love the radically-stripped-down stream of modern nonduality, for example

it basically just focuses on noticing how "what is, is"

it notices life as an unpindownable, undivided happening

a radiant openness that has room for everything

i love the radical simplicity of this

4/

i invite people to find the approach that 'fits' for them

feeling a sense of intrinsic wholeness, freedom, and unconditional love is a good sign you're discovering what is true

in the end nothing accurate can be said about this enigma of life

5/

it is undivided self-dancing wholeness

the totality is here now

when non-separation sinks into the heart it is felt as pure love

the wave is free to be the ocean

free to be simply as it is

Hey there, I'm an American living in Potsdam, new to the area. I love the game of poker and wondered if anyone knows of any poker home games happening around here, or other good places to play the game.

Thanks and cheers,

Jordan
