"All have been officially proscribed as heresy in very explicit terms by the Roman Catholic Church."
Heresy! Gnosticism! Witchcraft! CALL THE INQUISITOR!!! Never mind Psalms 46:10, Luke 17:21, 1John 2:27.
/brief rant, purpose being to relate that I too feel like you described here:
"If nothing else, it's good to finally see my personal path, in a faith tradition I felt was taken from me by 'good' Christian doctrine practitioners."
I don't want to "label" it, but my path currently includes quieting, stillness, intentionally shutting off my thinking mind in an effort (or perhaps non-effort) to "know" God. This is what I believe Jesus meant when he said you must become as a little child (infant) in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Master Yoda put it this way: "you must unlearn what you have learned." Suzuki calls it Beginner's Mind.
The kingdom is within.
Peace and quietness to all,
BG
