The Secrets In Plain Sight!

We're going to be getting into some heavy stuff soon, but - no, wait we are indeeed already into some heavy stuff.  Between what we saw on prayer last week and what we explore about ritual today, we're seen what makes up the most powerful rituals ever done!  The difference is in the heart...

In the various quests that I have pursued in my life, there were those people who raised objections, either because they wanted to avoid it in their own path, or (in the case of one parent an a long-former significant other) they didn't want me pursuing it.  The objection on some of the profess...
