And to talk to people whom are well informed. In the early 80's my friend and I went to a meditation group that wad pretty new-age. Our leader was a trance chaneler who had incredible knowledge about occult subjects. I still have a box of info under my bed. Who knows if she really had a disembodied entity speaking through her? I gained all sorts of answers and sometimes it was as if I'd known all along, I just needed reminding. Sometimes I had thought the things that were said but didn't know anyone else had the same ideas.

It feels safe to have validation but sometimes one just has to know for themselves what is right.

I think even early Christians were much more of a gnostic cult than they are given credit for. Or it was removed on purpose.
