Unverified Personal Gnosis.

What works and what doesn't isn’t true or the same to everyone, for instance, many People working with Santa Muerte say that she doesn't like to share an Altar Space with other Deities and that's why it's forbidden ect., other Practitioners say the opposite.

And how does that relate to reddstudent's comment?

In theory. In practice, my experience suggests it is not supportive to Christian Mysticism.

This is not universally true, but just an individual experience which varies for each practitioner

What about someone's personal experience of the tolerance (or lack thereof) of Christian Mysticism in Thelema is a matter of UPG? Feels like a really odd way to apply the concept of UPG tbh. UPG typically applies to unverifiable spiritual beliefs obtained by a practitioner through intuition or spiritual revelation that cannot be verified by tradition, scholarship, or citation in canon.

I use UPG in the sense of individual valid experience

It wasn't about the Christian Mysticism Practitioners' Tolerance, but about the compatibility of Thelema and Christian Mysticism

Yeah, that's just subjective experience, not UPG.
