First of all, I should thank you because your articles got me into meditation. I followed carefully the instructions and put time into it. I must say, I started because my heart was desperate for truth…so what I did, was to set my motivation on truth, I wanted to find truth. I won’t bore you with a lot of details, but eventually, after many days of meditation, Jesus Christ revealed himself to me!! It was quite incredible, as I wasn’t even looking for Him at all.
Anyway, that was about a year ago, and I’ve been seeking Him ever since, through praise, prayer, studying His Word, and allowing His love to flow through me. I’m not perfect, but He daily sanctifies me, as His spirit is living in me.
Why am I saying all this? Because I think it is a shame that you “preach” this doctrine of no external Creator to people, vulnerable people, who along with your moral ideas, swallow the immoral ones. Relying on ourselves is never going to lead to anything but death, desperation, suffering. Even you, who say, “Don’t rely on anything external”, are looking to Buddha and all those monks you mention. Relying on their ideas and practices. And then you call your writings “garbage”!
That’s also a little clue to me, as well, as to how you really feel about your spirituality.

I don’t mean to insult or offend you, or anyone else, I just felt like you wouldn’t mind if I gave my opinion, respectfully, even if it conflicted with your own. Also, thanks to your writings, it somehow catapulted me towards finding what I needed, TRUTH…so I thought one good turn deserves another…
I say opinion because to you it is so, but for me it is more than a reality, it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone in the world!!
Jesus Christ said he was the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one gets to God but through Him.

Peace and grace to you, friend.

With sincere respect,
