If you follow dualism in religion, and think of the spiritual world, emanated from God as pure and good, dualism can lead you to believe that the material world is dark.</p><p>That doesn&#039;t mean that the Kabalah is the dark side of Judaism.</p><p><br /></p><p>The concept of the devil is older than Christianity, and the devil is a concept in several religions, including Christianity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those people aren&#039;t Christians, nor do they call themselves that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mysticism has no dark side, it is purely the relationship between a person and the divine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mysticism and magick are two entirely different things. When magic or magick enters mysticism, mysticism stops being mysticism.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kali is Hindu, connected with Saivism, the cult of Shiva. There is an overlap between certain aspects of Kali and Himalayan Goddesses though.</p><p>Pure Buddhism doesn&#039;t have Gods and Goddesses, but as in Myanmar, Himalayan Buddhism has adopted elements of older local religons.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am from the mystic-philosophical side of Kejawen, and my specialties during my theology study were both mysticism and Shamanism.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being Kejawen I know the difference between real mysticism and so-called &quot;mysticism&quot; that is adulterated with white magic and dark magick very well, and I will always defend the purity of real mysticism, regardless of the religion it is connected with.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
