hi rayww!
> Jimi,
> Yours was a very kind and thoughtful response and I appreciated it more than you know. It is a wonderful thing that two can communicate across the "fine line" and feel comfortable doing so. >well, good for us!
> > well, it would be better if there is something in your tradition for you ... but that may not be possible ... ... many religions invalidate these experiences ...
> > which can be limiting ...
>
> My tradition is very accepting of all gifts of the spirit, but has guidelines to insure whatever received is in line with what Prophets and Seers have recorded in scripture. I personally like the safety net of two or three witnesses to everything. >... and i appreciated this more than you know ...
... for as much as knowing that the folks are accepting there, i am happier still that there is support for you to be safe ... that is great!
> >>> i co-opted that term to apply specifically to mean “one who sees auras” ... ... instead of the more familiar ‘fortune teller’ meaning ... i can get creative with words sometimes ... ... sorry ...

> No need to say sorry. I love being very creative with words and meanings too. That is good. The song that popped into my head after I wrote the post on "seers" is "The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers"
>
> "The wonderful thing about Seers, yes Seers are wonderful things, The most wonderful thing about seers is that God has appointed them to record for our benefit, the fullness of his gospel through all ages of time. God has for-ordained prophets and seers and placed them on earth in each gospel dispensation, (Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and so on) and he commands them to record his words to them. That is a wonderful thing for us. No one should be offended that God has a "God's people" through whom he has delivered his word for the benefit of all mankind. Commonly referred to as Jew and Gentile, First will be last and last will be first....not all who say "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my father....etc. >amen .

> I'll have to read Mercury's posts again. I am surprised at your last statement. Are those with spiritual vision really stereotyped madmen? Is Gordon B. Hinckley considered a madman? How about Mother Theresa? The Pope, me, you? There is a lot more I would like to probe on this subject, that's for sure. I hope you will continue to probe it as well, as we are all searching for answers here. >... stereotypes aren't approved objective standards ... they are usually slanderous ... ... of course, i myself do Not subscribe to such stereotypes ... i have great respect for the mystics ... ...
... that said, there has been a history of some mystics going mad ... such powers do not come with out their risks> >

> That was such a kind response to something I honestly thought I deleted before posting. strange. When I use the word Channelling I refer more to fine tuning myself into God's channel, rather than to other diversions that move me away from God.i see.

> What beautiful poetic perception you have! I honestly love the way you express things. You have great knowledge and wisdom, and I learn so much from reading your posts. >you are so kind ... i am so glad to be of benefit ... thank you

> That is a very kind offer and I appreciate your gift, and if you figure it out, please let me know. I think what I have is common and ordinary to my tradition. I am satisfied with the understanding I have, but certainly have been interested in and appreciative of the light you have shed on the subject. Thank you and,
