When I started reading about his teachings, he seemed to have a very broad range of knowledge and i was interested. However, I then saw that he was also teaching Christian Mysticism and also came across this book of his...

“””"The Perfected Classic On Wisdom And The Exorcism Of Demons. !!
In China, this small five-volume Daoist Text is traditionally known as “The Perfected Classic on Wisdom and the Exorcism of Demons as Spoken By the Great High Lord of Cavern Perfection." It was originally written prior to 400 A.D. and was eventually categorized as Book #1032 in the Zhengtong Daozang (Daoist Canon of the Zhengtong Reign Period), during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644A.D.).
The important information contained within these five short chapters represent the secret “Cavern” teachings that originally accompanied ancient Daoist Alchemy training. Because the reading was traditionally used to help spiritually activate and energize the disciple’s “Three in One” practice, their “Cultivation and Transformation” practice, and their “Small Heavenly Cycle” practice, it is presented here as an essential companion to the "Daoist Internal Alchemy Neigong and Weigong Training" textbook.
It is important to note, that the term "Cavern" does not refer to a literal cave, but instead was intended to convey the sense of "penetrating through esoteric knowledge." Therefore this special teaching was specifically used to free the disciple from the mental overshadowing of society’s cultural trance and to help liberate his or her mind.”””"
Practice wise ----
I practice Ashtanga yoga, and practice meditations from the Jos website, I also practice some of Mantak Chias teachings and some Chi gong/Bagua from classes on Line with teachers that have no Christian influence.
Community wise...
best to meet up with local people in your area who are growing food/farming/practicing yoga/chi gong.... these are most likely to be the most down to earth/satanic people in your area. You can always say that you are a big fan of Shiva or are a pagan to people instead of a Satanist, and see if they resonate with you.
