listen virgin, I became Christian because I read online that it's the only way to cure sleep paralysis: by sending the demons back to hell. I hadn't had a thought for religion in over 10 years but my soul was under siege by spooks so I had nowhere else to turn. I became a Christian, weeping at God's word. The next time I had sleep paralysis I saw the demon, cowered and then heard the voice of a plump black lady shouting "GET BACK INTO THE ABYSS MOTHERFUCKER!" then a portal opened and the soulsucker returned its empty realm. never had it since. blesses.

Holy shit someone else gets this. I cured it by cutting out caffeine after 3:00pm. I am tempted to get a coffee and try your way.

How can I experience mystical visions?

>>12013767
>becomes Christian to practice Satanism
pssh, nothing personnel, Christós.

It's spiritually imprudent to desire or seek mystical visions.

However, you can read the writings of some of the great mystics, such as:

- Catherine of Siena
- Sr. Faustina
- Teresa of Avila
- John of the Cross

Catherine of Siena, The Dialogue (with God the Father), is an amazing book. I particularly like the pic related translation, with a fine Introduction and notes, from Paulist Press, part of their Classics of Western Spirituality series.

No thanks, i'm not a amerimutt who allows himself to be memed into a semitic religion by some kikes on 4chan.

>>12015975
not him, but Teresa of Avila was on my to-read.

What do you think about Revelations of Divine Love? Seems odd you would skip that one in your list.

>>12015975
Also check out Hildegard come Bingen. DESU mysticism is for people with a womb.

>not realizing that many jewish people back in the days denied Jesus as Christ and Messiah.

They held tight to Moses, not realizing Jesus was LORD in the old testament.

>>12016344

any other spiritual music like this that's good?

>>12016409
The distinction isn’t very hard, and the Gnostics (who you’re deriving those designations from) were well acquainted with mystic insight and visions. Guenon will make you incapable of appreciating intuitive union with Spirit. Noesis goes-with myesis.

What do you mean by mysticism?

>>12018460
western esotericism

>>12018460
Belief that union with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or the spiritual apprehension of knowledge inaccessible to the intellect, may be attained through contemplation and self-surrender.

>>12018631
more like
>belief in the spiritual apprehension of knowledge that is inaccessible to the intellect

rest is just optional bullshit you personally believe in

>Be Christian
>Befriend Jew
>Have long chats comparing and contrasting our religions
>Swears that Judaism is better when it's basically Christianity with all the truly spiritual aspects taken out and replaced with bureaucratic tradition
>Can't even propagate that well since you have to take a Jew SAT if you're not born into it and they actively don't seek out converts
>Meanwhile Christianity can easily spread via one individual or none at all and for all intents and purposes make the followers immortal if they accept Jesus just once.
>Judaism on the other hand is really vague about the afterlife and basically boils down to "don't worry about it bro just live a good life and try to not get Holocausted."
