************* The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] ************ Well put Pete.
To add my two cents to Mike's question, which is a good one: I don't think TROM clashes with being a Christian or with Christianity...or with any other religion, for that matter. (Unless you're a Scientologist with the Church of Scientology. Don't think they'd approve...LOL) There is no worshipping of any kind in TROM, nor is there idolatry (which would clash with Judaism, for instance) or the practice of religious rituals. There is mereley a series of practical exercises one does, plus some underlying theory to enable you to do the exercises. Denis mentions a few things about the origins and the makeup of the universe and how we got to be in it. But that's not really pertinent and absolutely essential to doing the exercises. If he hadn't mentioned it TROM would still work. As Pete put it, it is a psychotherapy. There are lots of Christians and people of other faiths who undergo psychotherapy. No big deal. As an example, I heard that there are many Jews in the US who do meditation and Yoga. Various synagogues have even modified their services to make room for these new trends. There are Christians who do Yoga and meditation, too. I myself was baptised in the Eastern Orthodox Church. TROM poses no problem for me. But then again, I was never a true believer to begin with. Religion, to me, involves 'organisation' and 'subscribing' to a belief, idea or dogma. TROM involves none of these. There is no organisation (as in a network of churches and communities), and Denis stated that it is not a requirement to believe in the data in order for the exercises to work. So TROM does not include (subscribing to a) 'belief' and it does not include 'organisation'. Hence, it's not a religion or a religious practice. So I don't think it would be a problem for you or any other Christian to do TROM. TROM and religion - apples and oranges. Two different things. As you progress through the levels you will learn more about yourself as a spiritual being. What you will discover may strengthen you in your belief, or it may shatter it. It's hard to tell. Whatever you'll discover about yourself, God and the universe, it won't be because Denis said so. It will be your personal discovery. Your truth. In TROM you work primarily with your mind. It does not involve looking for things outside of it (and outside of you). Well, that's my two cents... :-) Take care, Harry > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > Sent: Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:50:17 -0700 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [TROM1] Just curious > > ************* > The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] > ************ > _______________________________________________ > Trom mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.newciv.org/mailman/listinfo/trom ____________________________________________________________ Publish your photos in seconds for FREE TRY IM TOOLPACK at http://www.imtoolpack.com/default.aspx?rc=if4 _______________________________________________ Trom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.newciv.org/mailman/listinfo/trom
