As you deconstruct and shed your former Christian beliefs, you will likely be told that you are New Age or some other label, meant to cast a dark cloud over you and your journey. I was recently told that I wandered away from Christianity. My response was that I didnt wander, but quite intentionally abandoned institutional Christianity in order to fully embrace Jesus truth. Other people dont have the right or authority to define for you what your journey looks like. Weve all heard the phrase, Who died and made you pope? I think you get my point. No human being gets to tell you what its supposed to be. What its supposed to be is what you are discovering as you connect with whats real inside you. Jesus challenged the idea that the authority for ones spiritual path rests in the hands of religious gurus, or religious belief systems, structures, or traditions. Instead, he taught people to listen and follow the life-giving spirit within them. You have no obligation to defend your journey. There is no jury for you to answer to. Speak your truth with authenticity and conviction. Stop trying to accommodate people who dont agree with you. Stop editing and toning down what is real to you because you are worried about what some people think. Of course some people are going to think you are deceived, deluded, apostate, confused, foolish, and in danger of all sorts of horrible things and punishments from God. So!
