Newbies always arrive at the site quite arrogant I've noticed. Hopefully he'll calm down, he seems to have a a lot to offer, be a shame every time he post it turns into him being condescending and the thread dying.

My fine featherd friend, if you knew the term VARIETIES OF RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE, OR STATES OF EXCTACY, you would not have made that sophomoric remark about what happens to some folks when they experience the Holy Ghost in a pentecostal Church.(rolling on the floor and foaming at the mouth)
you may be embarassed at that aspect of direct spiritual communication but we as African's have had that and more drastic visual actions in regard to the ecstatic state of Theurgy during a religious ritual , thousands of years before Christ
Now since you probably one of those spooked Saxoncenric negroes and all Harry potterfied and scared
to see someone kill a goat or a chicken, or a dove , drink the blood or have the blood sprinkled on them ,and then be "ridden" by ELEGUA, or OSHUN,
or OGUN, and be man enough to hear what that person says through the spirit,
just pick up any book by Catherine Dunham about here research on the religious experience in Haiti while she lived there, or any of several books by Joseph Campbell, or his DVD,
OR Zora Neale Hurston's works on religious anthropolgy, or a book entitled, "The Serpent and the Rainbow".
You see the trick you trying to pull is if I do give you a book or a web site, even if it is from someone Afrocentric;
you will say"aw that's just some stuff written by some racist white man" so baby I aint a going to fall for that one thats why I say it again, and again and again and again.
SEE FOR Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F
You see I wonder if you know anything about African history either because the most important concept of the scientific process of research is OBSERVATION,( part of our stolen legacy!)
You aint got to be a Royal Arch to know that your college chemistry lab classes are based on the observation of the interactions of elements, and that the parent science was Alchemy. The goal of which was to turn lead into gold, not physicallybut spiritually thus transforming your tired>>>>
Some of you folks want us newbies to go on google and do all the research for you, but I aint mad at you brother, fact is let's have a glass of Green label Jack Daniels together and forget the whole thing, I'm buying.
And when I get to your state I will ask some of the local Santero's or Santera's, or Hoongun's to let you attend a HEALING RITUAL, OR INITIATION (not ceremony thank you) that is if you promise to behave yourself and not faint,
