Someone wise told strength, will, consistancy, and relentless trying works. Thats pretty moral, dont you think Ben?
I trust it to be true.
I have felt magic before, oh no is that immoral? Yikes.

It was part of the instructions given to me by the Mother of the Church to become familiar with magic which now makes sense. It did not at the time, but I did as I was instructed. Magic is bipolar.

As I've pointed out your understanding is not full-bodied. This is not a terrible thing in that it is a condition that is kind of normal for the human race. I am only trying to give you enough of an understanding so that you can complete the journey on your own.

It seems likely that you have heard of the power or technology of positive thinking. In its pure form this is an example of magic. Though also practiced by the religious it is not practiced in a pure form by the religious by design. The pure form is the impure form.

Let me clarify too, when I felt magic, I did not mean as if I was a "magical person" I meant it as wonderment, heightened senses. I couldnt imagine being without it. The "spark" of life. I would be sorry for anyone who didnt ever have it. Maybe not everyone has that?

Understood. Yes I am aware of positive thinking, of course! Ha.
I appreciate the information you give me, and I respect it too.

It did not make sense at the time in retrospect. What can I say? In the presence of God I am not a doubting Thomas.

No instructions. Just sharing.
I love to learn. But only certain things. What you talk about inspires me. Its a gift. So the knowledge is much appreciated. People should be kind to each other. At least in my world.

I have given you a home work assignment and if you complete it, it means I finally managed to get a female to complete a home work assignment for me.

There is a puritanical spectrum. It is important to pay homage those who are better than you rather than attempt to tear them down. The Protestants attempt to raise everyone to the same level, but this is foolishness.

Recognition of this either intentionally or inadvertently is sometimes or often perceived as hypocrisy, a moral contradiction.

So if you feel that moral contradiction is insufferable, where you end up at is at one of the two polar opposite poles, and as I pointed out there is not one path to Hell; there are two. Consequently, one must practice both tolerance and intolerance at once. The problem is, How does one do this? The Protestants have their formula, the Catholics have theirs.

Perfect tolerance is a path to Hell. Perfect intolerance is a path to Hell.
