And I admit that I cheated. I was always trying to keep up with reading all the other authors mentioned by Nee and Lee. I figured if they were remarkable enough to be mentioned by the illustrious Nee and Lee they had to be important.
Come to think of it, maybe that's why I managed to spot that what I was in was a Christian version of a cult. All those other theologians managed to perchance shape some independent individual thinking in my mind. So I got out of my mind and into my spirit -- as advised, and chided, a million times if once -- but because I was entertaining other Christian thinkers -- than Nee and Lee -- individual thinking stuck to my ribs, so to speak.
And Individual thinking just won't work in any cult.
That's one reason I think those like Tozer are so badly needed, if for no other reason than to instill individual independent thinking in the believer/reader.
Turns out that,
"Brother, get out of your mind and into your spirit" is, cult speak. It turns the followers into zombies, looking for a leader to point their arms out to, and to call out to, with dazed blank eye sockets.
Think and be free ... "you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." Some great remarkable thinker said that, possibly, I like to think. But true nonetheless, either way. Whoever said it must have hit the taproot of truth.
