I am blessed !!!
Good for you, Doc Mercer!
The Lord will bless you for it.
The Reverend Pat Robertson has surely been a blessing in the Munchkin Man's life.
Back in the 1970s, the Munchkin Man wrote a letter to Pat Robertson challenging some of his beliefs and disputing his assertion that the practice of Yoga is a Satanic practice.
The Munchkin Man had argued that one could practice Yoga exercises and still be a Christian.
That was back in the days when the Munchkin Man was a dope smoking, long-haired hippie, and a liberal Democrat who actually went door to door campaigning for George McGovern.
The Munchkin Man was also dabbling in the study of Eastern mysticism and was taking a course in Astrology.
The Munchkin Man was planning to become an Astrologer.
Pat Robertson took the time to write back to the Munchkin Man.
He explained to the Munchkin Man about the non-Christian roots of Yoga and its relationship to Hinduism.
He explained to the Munchkin Man that practicing a Yoga exercise is like putting a drop of strychnine in a gallon of pure water.
Although the water is still mostly pure, that one drop of strychnine still renders the water poisonous.
He explained to the Munchkin Man that practicing Yoga was like adding poison to the Munchkin Man's soul.
His closing words were:
"Walk in the light and shun the darkness."
The Munchkin Man still disagreed with most of what he had to say.
The Munchkin Man could see nothing sinful about standing on his head, which was one of the Yoga exercises the Munchkin Man used to practice.
Nevertheless, the Munchkin Man thought about this letter for years afterwards.
The words of wisdom that Pat Robertson tried to impart to the Munchkin Man were constantly nagging at the Munchkin Man and beckoning the Munchkin Man to come back and accept their truths.
Years later, the Munchkin Man finally relented.
The Munchkin Man had to be honest with himself.
The Munchkin Man was not only going through the physical motions of his Yoga exercises, such as a seemingly innocent head stand.
The Munchkin Man was also practicing some of the Hindu meditative chants that went along with them.
In fact, the Munchkin Man became addicted to them.
Those Hindu chants used to give the Munchkin Man a very powerful supernatural high and a sense of omnipotence.
Some of them gave the Munchkin Man out-of-body experiences.
The Munchkin Man learned how to make his spirit leave his body at will and float around the room and even go outside and then come back inside to return to his body.
During some of the Munchkin Man's out-of-body experiences, the Munchkin Man occasionally came into contact with various spiritual entities from the lower levels of the astral plane.
The Munchkin Man now realizes they were evil spirits.
The Munchkin Man's Grandmother used to warn the Munchkin Man about these out-of-body experiences.
She used to tell the Munchkin Man that they were dangerous because if you leave your body, there is a chance that you may not be able to get back inside.
The Munchkin Man was lucky.
The Munchkin Man was always able to get back inside.
There is this shining cord that is part of the spirit body that you have to hold onto while leaving your physical body.
You have to hold onto this cord and not let go.
This cord helps you to guide yourself back inside your physical body.
So, if any of you decide to engage in this dangerous practice, be sure to hang onto this cord and not let go.
But please don't start practicing the Munchkin Man's past mistakes.
The practice of Yoga also gave the Munchkin Man the ability to see the human aura in other people.
The Munchkin Man became fascinated by the human aura and began to do a lot of reading about the human aura.
The Munchkin Man used to love to go up to people and tell them what their human aura looked like, what colors were in it, and what it all meant.
This used to creep a lot of people out.
At the time, the Munchkin Man didn't understand why.
As the Munchkin Man has mentioned before, the Munchkin Man's political views went through a total metamorphosis, as a result of watching a political speech by Ronald Reagan on television.
Shortly after his election, the Munchkin Man became a Christian.
The election of Ronald Reagan sealed the deal.
The Munchkin Man now KNEW there was a God.
The Munchkin Man gave up his Yoga, Eastern mysticism, and Astrology.
The Munchkin Man stopped making trips outside his body.
The Munchkin Man's ability to see the human aura disappeared.
The letter from Pat Robertson had the effect of planting some seeds of doubt about the spiritual path the Munchkin Man was taking.
These seeds finally sprouted to their fruition.
God Bless You, Pat Robertson!
The Munchkin Man is also blessed to live only about 20 miles apart from The 700 Club studio in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
In closing, the Munchkin Man would like to thank you for your donation to The 700 Club.
With Abundant Blessings,
Munchkin Man
