Hey Char! :) I have stayed away from the other stuff for quite some time, as my mind became occupied by those things, confused even. But recently reading Colossians cleared a lot of past things up for me and I was able to bring the pieces together. You see, I think in terms of symbols/symbology, and that's really confusing to a great deal of other people. I went on an occult-kick years and years ago and I guess that remained. But you're absolutely right, cuz to focus on the WHAT'S and HOW'S and dissecting everything will blind oneself from seeing the reality of LIFE before them. But just know that I found a message of reality & an awesome testament to Christ in the complicated mess that I wrote LOL :). I'll try to keep my comments more direct and less complicated from now on :D.
