I was wrapped up in the woo woo New Age world for many years. Still recovering from the confusion it caused in my life. Thankfully, even through the brainwashing, I kept my connection to God intact by always asking Him for guidance, plus I was just wired for questioning and challenging perceived authority. It took awhile, but I was finally able to better see the forest for the trees regarding these gurus and “enlightenment types”. They spin a very beautiful and tempting yarn, but it keeps you chasing your spiritual tail perpetually. In a very real way, I believe God used my curiosity, ensnarement, dissolution to bring me back full circle.
