Thank you for this post. Although I was raised in the Christian faith I moved away from it as I explored other spiritual traditions and practices. Your writings have rekindled my interest and it feels good. ♥️

That means a lot, Lizzie. Leaving isn’t always rejection. Sometimes it’s how faith remembers how to breathe.

If the spark feels alive again, trust it. The soul never forgets the way home.

🌹Yes, bring back the voice of Mary Magdalene & the Cathar way of life!🕊️

Amen to that, Kaja. The world’s been starving for her voice. Time to let her gospel breathe again.

A Cathar catharsis?🤓

None of this was ever mentioned, taught, talked about in any of the Sunday school classes where we visited other churches & learned about other religions (of course there was no Cather church to visit), never brought up in required religious classes in jr high, high school or college.

I just read more historical information in the past 20 minutes about a group of people & their beautiful truth & beliefs that i may have to read it again to absorb it all. It is so ridiculously barbaric & I say oh God, the history of the world is so tragic, my tender weak little heart cant take it- & then I stop & look at today’s world & how history is repeating itself, as it always seems to.

Are we stupid, or what?

Yes i have other spiritual practices that have been lifesavers & fed my soul & still do - 12 step programs, the Peruvian Pachakuti Mesa tradition (World Reversal, which was being prophesied 25 years ago when introduced to me but didn’t think I’d live to see it unfolding…)

Reading & listening to Magdalene’s books is a lifesaver right now. I wish I hadn’t gone my whole life unaware of her (other than what the Bible says, which is a muddled mess as far as her truth goes) OR the Cathers.

Time to do it now. She brings me great peace & more love & truth being a heretic than my Lutheran upbringing ever did. 🌿⛰️💗🙏

Thank you for opening the door for me & teaching what i didn’t know I needed.

I pray you learn to reject such heresy, not promulgate it, and return to the truth.

Haralds, I appreciate the prayer. I’ll return it to you in kind.

May you learn to reject fear disguised as faith and remember the God who never needed an Inquisition to defend Him.

The Cathars didn’t die spreading lies. They died refusing to pretend the empire’s version of God was love.
