I grew up Baptist. As an adult I've spent many years
studying religions, philosophies, and natural
healing/health-maintenance practices from all over the
world. At this time I'm half-way through the journals
of Thomas Merton. I've enjoyed his books. His
journals, for me, are like sitting with an old friend
and talking about the day's events. He was a Catholic
monk and a mystic who wrote prolifically about his
spiritual visions and his passion for improving
himself and the world. The Catholic church has
traditions such as saints and exorcism, which implies
acceptance of psychic phenomena. I think that's
interesting to know about an organization so
widespread in today's world.
