come get me (mystic, beliefs, religion)

I don't really think that 'convince' is the same as 'convert'. For anyone to believe anything, you have to experience it for yourself, otherwise you're just 'believing' what someone else tells you. That's wouldn't be faith in a God. That's faith in religion.

Take my faith, for instance. I'm a Christian, Presbyterian. I chose my faith the same way everyone else on this forum did, because of the influence it had on my life. My soul had a longing inside of it and I could only find the answer to that longing in a loving Creator. I don't find ideas at all comforting in comparison to the knowledge that I will always be accepted and never rejected.

So, to answer your question, I don't think anything I say or anyone else says will 'convert' anybody. It's between you and God, because otherwise it's 'religion' and not 'faith'.

sorry...
UltraViolet Majik is just for me.
It's personal.

But I'm sure your own Majik would be just as amazing!

All you have to do to be a source(r)er,
is go directly to the source within & around you.
Simple. No "hocus pokeUS" or "secret formYOUlas"

Which reality would you like to Craft?

Go for it!
Step from the source...
and watch amazing things begin to happen.

Then come back and share your experience with me!
Wooo Hooo!

(Creative "spelling" is one of my very favorite Majiks.)
Can U tell?
(though I am sometimes mislabeled a "bad speller")
OK. Perhaps there is just a bit of truth there as well....
(spelling "rules" never did appeal to me- nor did skools)
but I digress...

I don't try to convert people, so I can't say I would do anything.

Mystic, Willamena and Ymir basically said it for me!

Saves me a whole lot of explaining and typing!

I'm not good at thing like this, just pick, mix and match, ^_^, oh and be respectful when you do it.

Awww, you have SOME coolness in you, Azakel..........you're a hip hop fan, and that's got you some points in my book.

Just remember when Uncle Phil Sunstone and Mister_T ("Pity The Fool I Shall") try to convert you to Girls-On-Trampolines that it's actually just another Dharma path for one of the 84,000 afflictions.




Peace,
