    Transubstatiation, laying on hands, hearing the literal voice of God, crystal healing, the “secret ” etc.

    I came from a christian tradition that embraced magical thinking. When the premise of your beliefs is nonsense then the ground work is laid to convince yourself of anything.  The church community supports this and it becomes communal delusion.

    So, this has led me to be suspicious of any group with shared but subjective beliefs.

    Hi Tee,

    Definitely the latter.  As a husband and father, joining a monastic community is not an option.

    My wife is also not a buddhist and is leery about any organized beliefs.  Even meeting a group for a Dharma talk feels hard.
