Question
I have been following new age practices witch uses many religions and goes by the laws of all religions. Don't know that there is a real name for it exept spirituality. My question is how do I leave this practise, I keep getting pulled back in and I am going through hell trying to get away?
I can't answer this without specifics of your situation, but in general you get out by making changes in your life. Find the spaces being filled with these religious practice and fill them with something else — new hobbies and activities. You don't need religion to fill up your life.
