joseph1832:
Can I have the manual please?.

shaggy007:


You need to buy it, search google for it.

The name of the book and the author have been posted.

joseph1832:
Where is it posted?

shaggy007:
For those of you willing to learn the art of mysticism, download the book called "practical mysticism" by Evelyn Underwood.

The best, and straight to the point.

shaggy007:


To be on the safe side, download a book called "PRACTICAL MYSTICISM" by Evelyn Underwood.

The best for beginners.

When you're done with that, there are other books that are strictly for Advance level Mysticism. (I never reach that level yet).

bolaino:
why should one feel guilt in practicing mysticism?

SalC:
Never looked at mysticism as something bad, some people are just mystics not because they desired it or acquired it, how then do we categorise these people.

WinsomeX:
The comments so far are very interesting. I was hoping to attract comments from Pentecostals, though.

shaggy007:


Una too dey ask silly questions, how can you know what mysticism is if you are not guided?

The manual is a guide book on the steps to follow.

Everyone have read the book and is satisfied.

If you no wan learn am, go Siddon.

Who dey beg you?

Mysticism is not something to play with.

Abeg chill joor


Where can I get it?

shaggy007:


The book can be downloaded from Google.

WinsomeX:


The reason for the thread is to first of all show that mysticism is not Christian. The second thing I hope to show is that many Pentecostals are guilty of practising mysticism and that this is a root of much errors in that movement.

But so far the responses are even helping to prove my thesis right. Real mystics are responding to the thread and from their posts one can see that they are not Christian at all.

I would like to know the opinion of "elders" on the forum who are Pentecostals, especially Bidam and Image123. trustman, BabaGnoni, Candour, vooks, nannymcphee, SirJohn, PastorKun, Goshen360, Peter007, tgirl4real, frosbel, shdemidemi, etc, opinion are welcome. Hope you see the mention.

WinsomeX:
WHAT IS MYSTICISM?

Mysticism may be defined as the pursuit of a deeper or higher subjective religious experience. It is the belief that spiritual reality is perceived apart from the human intellect and natural senses. It looks for truth internally, weighing feelings, intuition, and other internal sensations more heavily than objective, observable, external data. Mysticism ultimately derives its authority from a self-actualized, self authenticated light arising from within. This irrational and anti- intellectual approach is the antithesis of Christian theology [John MacArthur NT Commentary: Colossians, 120].

How many of us are guilty of practicing mysticism, while calling it spirituality?

joseph1832:
You call Mysticism "irrational and anti- intellectual". Dude you have another thing coming.

Perhaps I should also say your faith is 'irrational and anti-intellectual' judging by the murderous trend of the followers of your religion.

I case you forgot: I urge you to do a thorough check and research about your faith and you'll see the murderous trail it leaves behind.

how may i contact you

shaggy007:


Lucky you.

I Just saw the free ebook online.

Mine's the hard copy.

shaggy007:


Was.

I thought I made it clear?

WinsomeX:
@BabaGnoni,

Is that book written by a Christian?

WinsomeX:


Maybe I missed it. Thank you for the response.

From basic mysticism, do you hear voices from spirits? Do you speak in tongues? What does mysticism say of the after life? Where do you disagree with basic Christian doctrines?

I know the book you suggested here will have the answers but for the sake of the thread and those who cannot endure reading the long text in the book, please can you answer the questions? Thank you.

shaggy007:


It's a holy book written by an elite group of Mystics, and propagated by Evelyn Underwood.

BabaGnoni:


"Holy" in a different context and meaning



Save your breath, the book gives answers like ice has any chance surviving in hell
That is wishful thinking, which is why I said it is overrated

shaggy007:


Do you even know the meaning of the word "holy"?

Mysticism is a religion, and every religion has a holy book.

That book is just a tip off the iceberg

shaggy007:


It's alright.

When you reach the advanced level of mysticism, you can start talking about spirits and all.

The book prepares you for that stage.

But in the beginners stage, you will be amazed at what you will gain.

Some people stop at the beginners stage only.

You don't go around f.uckin.g with spirits if you are not ready.

And when I say "spirits", I don't mean demons.

Demons are a spirits under the control of the devil.

You learn that in occultism (that's a WHOLE different $h1t from mysticism).

WinsomeX:

BabaGnoni:


Yeah, and "PRACTICAL MYSTICISM" by Evelyn Underwood is a holy book

Don't get it twisted, Mysticism is a state of mind.

The only true religion, acceptable to God is James 1:27

Obviously written to sell to unsuspecting punters. The book is full of hot air, which is why I said it is overrated
- 10 Chapters, no head, no tail. Time waster and none the wiser to anyone reading it

WinsomeX:


Thank you for your answer. But you still didn't touch on my questions. Here they are properly stated:

WHY MYSTICS DISAGREE WITH THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINES.

let's take an example from the bible.

Let's assume the bible is the holy book of Mystics.

When the bible tells you "Jesus walked on water", it will explain it on details and tell you what to do to walk on water yourself.

Not just theory and parables.

PastorKun:


I don't entirely agree with you. Personally I have had a mystical experience before and I can assure you it was a 100% christian experience.

Ukutsgp:
are u a christian at all? U dnt sound like one.

plaetton:


Lol.
What exactly do you think you sound like?

vooks:
It is difficult to draw a clear line between mysticism and any religion. My take is to stick to scriptures as much as possible and challenge ANY PRACTICE whether it lines up with God's Word

Ukutsgp:
i'm i talking to u? See me see wahala o..
