TO DETECT the Spirit, which is to become AWARE, one must 'align themselves more' with the things that are of the spirit.
So, which spirit taught you about this "spirit of awareness", because I don't believe you came up with it on your own. It's obvious that you speak to a bunch of different spirits that have confirmed this to you.
So, who are they? Where do they come from?

That's a lie.
If your spiritual experiences were as profound as you said they were, you didn't make them happen by yourself.
If everyone was born with the Holy Spirit, we wouldn't see the world in the state it's in today.
Nope. There are spirit liars out there.
Who are yours?

Come on! You've already told everyone that they need to practice mysticism in order to understand your truth. Do you really think that all of us are so stupid to believe that it doesn't have anything to do with contacting other spirits?!
You will continue to not understand as long as you think in absolutes.

No! what mysticism i speak of.. requires no conversation with external spirits to understand. and it is every man that experiences samadhi or the enlightenment of the light holds the VERY SAME knowledge and in NO WAY contradicts eachother even without ever having met.. EVER!
Why do people have demonic obstacles when they cultivate? Why do karmic obstacles arise? It is just because people’s natures lack samadhi. If the nature is in samadhi, all demons can be subdued.
There are many kinds of demons. This sutra explains fifty kinds of “skandha demons.” Actually there are many, many demons: heavenly demons, earth demons, human demons, ghost demons, and weird demons. Heavenly demons are the demon-kings in the heavens who come to disturb your dhyana concentration. Earth demons that dwell on the earth, human demons, ghost demons, weird demons, and strange creatures also all come to disturb your dhyana concentration.
”Why do they do this?”
Because before you attain Buddhahood you are a member of the demons’ family. When you decide to leave the family of demons, cultivate dhyana concentration, end birth and death, and break through the turning wheel, the demons are still fond of you. They love you and can’t let you go. Therefore they come to bother your spirit and disturb your dhyana concentration.
Jesus never performed any miracles, sorry to burst your bubble, those are pagan themes put into the story by Rome before they legalized it.
The OP has hardly written anything, hasn't answered questions, and his apologists fill in the blank spaces with their own ideas, then claim that they are the OPs teachings. Not rational.

They obviously think that all of their "truths" will lead to the same "truth" in the end, but it won't and that's why filledcup doesn't get answers from the OP. The OP probably has no idea what filledcup is talking about, because they follow different paths that lead to different ends with no mutual understanding.

The miracles of Jesus aren't unique at all. They definitely are told in a way similar to the claims made by the Jewish Rabbis known as "the Sages".
According to the Talmud, those "miracles" ceased for "the Sages" once their authority was established and they started writing the Talmud. Is Rome responsible for the Talmud too?
The miracles are part of the Jewish paradigm, not a pagan paradigm.
