As in other walks of life, there are sharks and cranks about. The choice is yours but here are some of my personal warnings.  
     
 

Approach with caution:

  • Any religion that asks you for money or claims that it will make you rich. Spiritual power can be used for anything, including getting rich, but beware. If you go after riches, you may not get anything else.
  • Any religion that claims to initiate you into secrets or uses the word "esoteric" a lot.
  • Anyone who may be exploiting your weaknesses.
  • Anyone who quotes a lot from the Book of Revelation, specially if they call "Revelations".
  • Any religion that tries obsessively to interest you in the pyramids or the Temple of Solomon.
  • Any religion that increases your fear.
  • Sacred mathematics.

Remember:

  • Prayer works. Be sure you mean it.
