Something like that with you and kaballah?
Not at all....like I said before, each to their own....and if folks want to use the Kabbalah I haven't got a problem with that cos that is thier life and up to them...
Like the ones who like/follow Crowley...it's their life and up to them.....
I have some veiws, I just plain and simple don't like the guy or anything he stood for.....
And yes, there has been bloodshed in Christianity, but that could be said for Islam as well couldn't it....and Cathlics and Protestants have had their moments in history too re the bloodshed...
I can't control what others do, but I can control who I like and who I don't.....
All I know is that I pull some cards, and they 'say' something to me....not even what I have been asked about, but probably further back in the querants life....something I know nothing about....I know that I see things moving in the house, like shadows.....I know that both my parents on the other side are with me.....and I am, worryingly, starting to think things of folks that pop into my head when I see them.....things that unless I ask them if I'm right, I will/should never know about.....and that will do for me, without adding to it...
I think that, as with anything in life, you take something where YOU want it to go....do as much or as little as YOU want to do....and of course the best way to do it very often is to learn and make mistakes as you go along and remember those mistakes as a learning curve...
And if somehwere along that way you discover something that you are unsure about, then ask. If you don't like what you hear.....then be true to yourself and don't get involved.....not just for the sake of 'fitting in' or for going along with veiws, as some veiws are for Crowley, that he was the bees knees when you might actually think he'd have been better off locked up in Rampton.
But you see it is personal veiws. We all have them, and we differ. We have to differ, cos that is the way of the world and all in it....
