Whatever. If you are ever interested in having a real, two-sided conversation, let me know. I bear you no ill will. I just can’t see spending my time like this, finding more and more evidence for you to ignore.

BTW, self hypnosis can make you happy, for a while. So can sticking your head in the sand. But being forgiven is way better. Trust me. I’ve done both. It’s like being blind and thinking you know what color is, and fancying yourself as a great artist. Then one day you learn you are blind, and you long to see but you can’t. Then God heals your eyes, and you see color and form and perspective, and you look at your old drawings and you cringe at how awful they are. And the Master Artist leads you into His studio and shows you His work and you realize how far you have to go, but you also realize what a joy it will be to learn and grow under Him.

Bottom line, don’t feel sorry for us. We thoroughly enjoy being forgiven, and forgiving, for it is how we grow into the fullness of Christ, which is a great blessing to us, like receiving sight, or being healed of paralysis, or being raised from the dead (how I felt when I was saved). We have tried to share that joy with you, and you are not interested. So be it.

But I’ll leave the light on for you, should you ever change your mind.

Peace,

SR

Silent prayer and watching..the mind just as Jesus told the disciples to do that night in the garden most assuredly is not hypnosis. Actually you may not know this but the root meaning of prayer is to examin oneslef...and that does not mean the body...but the mind and avenue where all evil is transmitted to the human race.
