"...measure these experiences according to the worship they accrue to God and the profit to your fellow Christians..." Julian of Norwich
__________
CORRECTION: Late in the episode, and repeated here, I said: If Espousing notions contrary to dogma... I was supposed to also say: "Maybe someone has said you are, or you believe that about yourself." I missed that. Julian's quote is right on.
In the image that is connected to this introduction, some of the words that describe the host, Kyrie Dicentis, (me, hello) are "visionary" and "contemplative." True enough, but I'd never shared much about my own experiences, considering them to be private. But now, having read what Julian said, I think it's time.
This podcast calls to the Elect—anyone who longs to be oned with the Absolute—the unfathomable Love and Light that we call God.
When books and church and rote prayers are just not enough, when you long for Him, to be with Him, or if you've had an extraordinary experience and have found no one else to accept understand, possibly including you, yourself, I am reaching out to you through this podcast. The Elect need to find and support each other.
I am Kyrie Discentis, contemplative, visionary, professional writer, newbie podcaster, Elect, universalist, with backgrounds in science, law, and miracles.
Heresy in Ancient Greek, haíresis (αἵρεσις) meant choice. Also a way of learning about and choosing among philosophies, committing to a way of life.
Alexandria, the center of such heretical pursuits, was home to the Catechetical School of Alexandria, the center of Christian thought and study. Scholars there included Clement, Didymus, Origen.
CHRISTIANITY Jesus of Nazareth received messages directly from God, which is called gnosis. Jesus Christ was a heresiarch, His followers heretics. Ejected from their church, He and His followers were vilified, shunned and killed.
"The Heretic Christian" refers to both host, Kyrie Dicentis and the podcast, itself. If Espousing notions contrary to dogma is heresy, then I am a heretic. If relating what has been given to me by God is gnosis, then I am a gnostic.
But if I am embracing the Words and following the commands of Jesus Christ, then I am simply His follower, a Christian. What I know is:
~We have God in us, as we are in God.
~All will be saved and oned with God.
~The miracles in the New Testament never stopped, today is the same as then and as tomorrow.
~Contemplation is the highest form of prayer and you don't have to be anything special do practice it.
~Jesus is with us all to the end -- to Parousia.
