sounds good. have you ever studied gnosticism? if not, you're close to it. many people speak it's truths before they even start to "study" it because the basics are not recieved through study, but through divine revalation. i always responded to these "heretical" ideas before i ever knew what they were formally. gnosis may be the one truth that spawns all religions. gnostics were most likely the first christians. Its a theory but it holds water in my opinion.
It involves the ideas that the kingdom of God is within you, and that you are an individual, but more than that, you are a child of God but more than that you are God. the world is an illusion that groans to be shattered. pain is a lie that screams to be destroyed. but knowledge or gnosis of God is true and eternal, and inside you.
As i said before, these ideas are heretical by orthodox standards, but i think they may be the truest form of christianity.
As Paul said, "The mystery is this: Christ in you!"
