Introduction
I. “The third occasion, finally, is our own age in which all active and fertile thought, because it necessarily adapts itself to the demands of a science established outside the faith, seems like a deadly danger to orthodoxy. An age in which educated men one after another turn away from the
teachings and practices of the churches. Soon, no doubt, the only “right-thinking” people will be the believers who do not think at all or think only in terms of the past of the drift of a reasoned faith, the religious expression of intellectual culture, tends to devotion, and to forms of devotion in which the suggestions derived from popular primitive heirlooms alone seem to benefit.”
II. “The enemies of the victorious Church of the fourth century, pagans and various dissenters, had written a great deal against her, or concerning her; this literature has almost entirely disappeared and the little that remains is only enough to show us how great would be the service it might render.”
“Christian history, however, is far from having entered the happy sphere of entire scientific serenity…. Other obstacles in its path are the gaps, doubts, and the disheartening ignorance, to which all true savants confess; rash presumptions, premature or shocking hypotheses, like those which would do away with the existence of Christ…..
“Nevertheless, to anyone who deigns to look into the matter, it is clearly evident that the efforts of generations of scholars have not been useless. They have at least reached the point of propounding all questions at issue upon a basis of positive science.”
III. “But the sketch we have just given of the birth, growth and triumph of Christianity has taken account of the facts according to appearances only;”
This book is within research of Joyce & River Higgenbotham’s Christopaganism: an Inclusive Path. That book, ChristoPaganism, is within my desk given to me, it was my Father’s, though I was disinherited from my property and some of my family is estranged from me because of blame placed on me forever, evidently. They have decided not to look in a balanced way at what I have gone through though I have done so for them. I forgive you.
I am a sorceress who will tell any reader of either book that I was bound in current Christian (protestant) thought which calls evolution demonic.
I never went that far after about age 25, but I remained confused for years. And then my story is all told and I have people angry at me for my story–in three volumes, Uncovered No More.
What I am studying now is older to be sure, but not archaic. And hands down, no questions asked, Science must be applied to Christianity according to authors I have been led to time and again by Holy Ghost. (The Universe metaphysically).
I am now rather full time in study of books which support the real life of the man named Jesus Christ. There are books which demand he is myth. I am using chapter 4 of the aforementioned ChristoPaganism to curse this thing upon history.
I am glad I am reading this book and Rudolf Steiner’s writings for these men wholeheartedly prove that metaphysical science, and just science in general, are healthy necessities of metaphysical discussion about a number of ideas surrounding spirituality. The spiritual mystery I am focused upon generally speaking is how Jesus Christ spoke and is written about him saying and doing as witnessed by his disciples: how he went back to prepare mansions and would return.
In modern terms, such an idea and miraculous life of his: is called reincarnation.
I am a reincarnationist who has been attacked by unseen forces and has been rejected by people socially for quite some time. I have identified many past life forces in my story at this point, and I have even identified a doppelgänger of a Solitary Pagan–of my father.
All of my daughters have angelic names I was met with, but I destroyed the document so they and I will not be attacked any longer socially. I will never again remember their names. They will likely not know their spiritual names since I chose to remove the revelation from my private files. I know which are phoenixes of my children spiritually and that is something which will never be spoken by me. I am tired of being rejected.
My spiritual name is Tara.
What is known as “maga” in 50 States are the beings who are not thinking. I always find it fascinating when reading these books how very much we have not evolved (smile).
