What Keating practiced and taught is NOT something Pentecostals have been doing for over a century. We do not believe we are divine. We do not "center" ourselves in order to contact the divine nature within ourselves. That is mysticism. That is occultism.

I do perceive that you're all caught up in words. lol If Keating can show me that he owns the rights to the words "contemplative" and "prayer", I'll stop using the terms. But... he doesn't own those words.
What I found interesting is that I used those words and people began barking like wild dogs again. But here's what I found entertaining... no one really paid close attention to what I was saying about my understanding of contemplative prayer until now. Instead, I was instantly classified as a "witch" before anyone really began to realize, what I'm talking about is not entirely like what Keating teaches. LOL
