It's somewhat easy, for us the humans, because all the hard work was done by God. The Trinity has done all the heavy lifting, suffering, and bashing up of Satan when Christ went to confront him and take the keys of hell away...
All we have to do is.. accept Jesus into our lives as Saviour and Lord... Sounds easy right...
However.. it's not that simple.
Christianity is a monotheistic faith.
Hence, the narrow path.
Unlike practitioners or believers of polytheism, Christians can't worship other gods.
I.e. at the Spirit festival, there are so many cultures.. mostly Hindu (yoga, kritan mantras that repeat the names of Krisna, teachings from the Bahgavad Gitta, the Ohm sign..)... There's Moari, praying to the sky father and earth mother and rivers and sun and moon... There's Druics with their crystals, healing sounds with singing bowls, hand pans and shooting voices, there's Peruvian Macca and Cacao ceremonies... And also LGBT (contraversial topic, needs in depth explanation) There's a whole bunch of worldview there ..
So I would say .. if one is 'okay' with these kind of stuff.. it's 'easy'... Because... Who cares...
You can do anything.. and have no remorse, shame, guilt, conflicting thoughts, cognitive dissonance...
BUT, if you're a strict conservative...
You'll view chanting as... worshipping the devil. You'll view yoga as satanic, the practices as demonic....
Christ guard our minds. All truth is God's.
But it doesn't mean that one's mind cwon't be open to the possibility of other cultures and traditions
Their holy scriptures.. our holy scriptures, our God is so powerful, that all good is His. Just don't worship another god..
The One in us, is greater than the one without..
The drumming, all cultures have a rythm, it's in us as humans, God made us with a beating heart.
The plants and medicine, chemical compounds, DNA, is all made by God. God wrote our genetics, of ever single organism on this world.... Just don't abuse drugs, it destroys... Anything excessive is toxic..
There is a balance.
Find that.
The dance, our bodies made to move.
Cacao ceremony was liberating... In safe space, where you can express to the fullest what you want. Without fear of being judged or looked at weirdly.. cause.. the truth is, everyone is a weirdo in some way, we just don't show it publicly
The meditation sessions, the men's circle, it's stuff you'd do in church. Or a group of ppl your trust. Sharing and being listened to.
The ex-addict spoke about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, pulling the hand break when we feel the triggers.
The Selenium guy knows Neuro Linguistic Programming... And FMT.. proponent for good guy health... And how excessive supplements (that do help in small amounts) can become toxic
Kritan is really like a group of Christians doing high praise, singing and harmonizing, repeating the four magical chords of G, C, D Em,... Some eventually breaking out spontaneously in tongues, oh but the dance is wildddd
But there's only so much mantras, and repeating on loop for 10 minutes... Simpletons... The mind like simplicity.. it's easy.
Christian songs go are more.. complex. They have meaning and lyrics and such.. (sort not bashing.. ) .. btw I prefer old school Christian songs to new ones....
And holy scriptures, vice verses,
