You are me, I am in you. I am in everything. God in me, God in you. I am God, you are God. We are in the rainbow, we are in the sunshine, we are in the trash, we are in everything. From there love grows. Naturally
 
what is toltec teaching anyway? :confused: :confused: … oh welcome to the forum
 
First of all, thank yoiu for your kind interest. Toltec Teaching is simple yet powerful. It uncovers the misconception we get all our life. From childhood, we are ‘domesticated’ by our surrounding. The domestication is so strong and for a long time, that we adopt it without realizing that. This domestication makes it impossible for us to see clearly what is real and important. Like in the case of religion. The domestication leads into fanatic belief. Into killing, into harming. This is not correct. Actually, we are God. God is everywhere and in you and me. If you see me, you cannot see yourself in me. That’s because there’s mitote (fog) that makes you unable to see the essense of me, which is the same as you. The same things happen to me. I cannot see myself in you. Only after we can get rid of the mitote, we can see what is real, and realize life is beautiful. I hope this explanation is not very confusing for you.
 
and what is the ‘fog’ you are talking about? :confused: is it bad teaching? bad culture? or what?
 
Actually, may be I should say ‘misconception’. Since we have already domesticated, we cannot see things clearly. And that’s what we call ‘mitote’ or fog. When you are inside the mist, you cannot see anything clear, isn’t it? Bad teaching is only one from many factors of that.
 
Actually, what is religion? Is it something that needs a holy building? Rayne, actually, I am still searching for the ultimate truth. I wrote Wiccan because I used to be very interested in Wiccan. But these days, I am drawn to Toltec Wisdom
 
Many people misconcepting Wicca into Witch. Actually, Wicca (or you may call “paganism”) is an old religion, pre Christian). We have a very simple conception, “Harm None”. Do you want to know more?

Wicca is only about 50 years old.

here are some links
paganwiccan.about.com/od/historywicca/a/ageofwicca.htm
*"I’ve noticed this can be a touchy subject among Wiccans and other Pagans: the history of the Wiccan religion. People (usually novices) often make statements about the ancient origins of Wicca, or how Wicca has been practiced for thousands of years. *
Sorry folks, but this is simply not accurate."

By the way, welcome to the forum. I hope you don’t think I’m being rude. I think if your going to follow a particular practice you should study the history of that practice. I myself have studied the history of Catholicism because I think it’s important as a Catholic to know the history of my faith.

I have known a few Wiccans. Two from the days when my husband served in the Navy and one I worked with a few years back. Wicca has become very popular as of late, especailly among young people. A nice friendly open religion that is very inclusive, very non-judgemental. But it’s practices are in direct opposition to Catholic teaching. Magic, and spell casting just for starters.
 
It’s a good site. Thank you Rayne. Cyber, you can learn alot there. And by the way, Rayne, I believe we share the same fondness to Tolkien, although sadly, I only watch his tremendeous movies, The Lord of The Rings series.

You should try reading the books it gives so much more depth to the story. But I do love the movies, I can watch them over and over.🙂 Tolkein was a great lover of nature (and he was also Catholic 😉 ).
 
As long as it is harmless to anybody I just go agree with it. :confused: … dont you think so?
 
And I somewhat believe that the episode of Gandalf return was really inspired by resurrection of Jesus in Catholic. Am I correct here? 🙂
 
Cyber, it’s harmless. And Rayne, I hope you don’t think that we are somewhat like those beautiful witches in Charms.

I have heard that myself and even my 10 year old noticed it. Tolkien insisted he wasn’t writing any religious alagory but in his writings it becomes obvious he was influenced by his Catholic beliefs. In the books even more so then the movie there is a very definitive line of good and evil. And also being merciful to those who have chosen the wrong path and believing that it is possible for them to change is even more clearly defined in the books. It’s alot of reading, but well worth it.
 
He might not do it consciously. He is one of great fiction writers. And I am interested to read also CS Lewis’ Narnia. I heard they were friends.

No, I’m aware that is Hollywood. I know in this day and age many are seeking spiritual fulfillment, and they are seeking it outside the traditional Christian faith. I could definately see how wiccan can be very enticing to those seeking fulfillment. It certainly is easy to see the beauty and the spiritualness of nature. And compared to other religious practices Wiccan has very little expectations from it’s members. Basically do what you will as long as you harm no one. (Ofcourse that can be subjective.)

As Catholic christians we can not do what we will, we must do God’s will. We believe we are created by God, not that we are God. (I’m pretty sure your already aware of that.) The first sin was by Adam and Eve because the serpant promised them they would be like God. We do believe in the the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, that God in the Holy Spirit dwell within us but that we are God himself.

If we all truly followed the teachings of Christ to perfection than there wouldn’t be the conflict and the wars. But because we are not God, because we are imperfect creatures and often turn against the will of God the effect is often devistating.
