i agree that their philosophy and theology was much more interesting than what became mainstream Christianity and that the political implications of those beliefs made them intolerable by imperial authorities they were still throwing out the baby with the bathwater though
I've come to view this as a false dichotomy and one day I hope to know what words to use to communicate the insight properly. I fear it escapes me at the moment or else you'd be subjected to much too much of my word salad.

I would believe them insofar as they are reporting what they really experienced. I would not accept any effort of theirs to get me to agree that their vision is an objective truth that applies universally. Their may be ethical principles that can be distilled out of it though.

that said I think we get a lot of good output from useful fictions, at the cost of also potentially adopting harmful fictions (in fact there's quite a lot of that). this is why I prefer to talk about myths rather than faith or doctrine.

transmissions about *reality* (not another reality, if its real its real.) yeah, that's on target but lets extend reality to include the psychical and mythical aspects of the human experience as first class objects.
