But what is more he also thoroughly understood what those experiences were all about, and their limitations. <br /><br />Summed up as an inner "Spiritual" Disneyland.<br /><br />His favourite Saint was St Seraphim of Sarov.<br /><br />This set of essays lays out His critique of the Tradition. He has since written more essays and expanded the contents of some of these essays. And updated the language too.<br /><br />www.dabase.org/christian.htm<br /><br />www.adidam.org/teaching/aletheon/truth-religion.aspxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547653347296107692.post-8776336112795608862009-09-13T07:19:58.146+02:002009-09-13T07:19:58.146+02:00Very helpful, Phil.
