He is spot on about how fasting and sexual abstinence increases your conciousness to the point He talks to you and can give you anything you could ever wish for.

That He loves us and we can and should pray to Him.
That He is truly one person who is fully human and fully divine, that He preexisted all time and has an actual human mind, soul and body just like we do.

195:10.4."The kingdom of God is within you" was probably the greatest pronouncement Jesus ever made, next to the declaration that his Father is a living and loving spirit.

The idea of taking up your cross by voluntarily suffering,
This means crucifying our desires, our thoughts, and limiting our time here on Earth to be a producer of good fruits that grow and bring freedom and possibilities for others which is eternally valuable.
By limiting ourselves we can expand others.

The Jews used a coin-toss to determine 'God's will' at various points.

For me it explained away the genocide in the Old Testament and keeps parity of Old Testament God and New Testament Jesus in tact.
