I received the following from a friend and find it very timely:
There is little doubt that there has been a ceaseless new age movement and migration of that movement into most of what we call mainstream Judaism and Christianity during most of this century. Subtle at first but now hidden in the wide open for all to experience.
Over time many have tried to incorporate the channeling of spirits and God’s Word into morphing religions, ie new age, Mormonism, Catholicism, the prosperity movement, etc. A woman named Alice Bailey born in 1880 may be most accountable for coining certain phrases first, such as new age, new world order, etc all channeled to her from a spirit guide called Djwhal Khul. Of course there have been many others that have channeled and we know there is nothing new under the sun but she sort of kicked off the modern movement. And after her death her school eventually became know as the Lucis Trust and we all know the implications of that and it has ties to freemasonry and Rosicrucian roots.
That bit of history sets up the current events and personalities promoting the New Age infiltration of much of the common man’s spiritual understanding. More and more we are as a people turning our back to God and his word and moving toward instructional sources like “The Secret”. The Secret is significant because it along with stories like Harry Potter have captivated and desensitized mass groups of people concerning the Occult and divination. The Secret played off the ego, money, wealth and a power that is present in the universe for all to utilize. We know that power exist but is not glorifying God, in fact just the opposite. The Oprah’s, Rick Warren’s and Thomas Merton’s, just to name a few, are instrumental in the promotion of this energy. The in between step is to introduce something called contemplative prayer and eastern style meditation and its catching on, which of course is in complete opposition to what is meant to meditate in The Word. Contemplative prayer and meditation removes the brain from the conscious involvement by repeating a mantra and opening the pathway to allow outside spiritual influence which is in direct contradiction to what is meant to meditate in the Word by consciously using your mind to understand the nature of creation and the spiritual dimension.
Well, this brings us to the point of all this, that on April 5th a dvd will be released from a book called “The Moses Code” and the attention and numbers of copies sold should rival the Secret. Interestingly when one looks at the sequence of events and milestones in this movement one can see a logical sequence of first stepping all over conventional biblical belief systems within society and then introducing the next step in the sequence. This step really concentrates heavily on the I am god, we are all collectively god and eastern style meditation. They have carefully paved the way to move people to the next level of new age. We can turn to Luke 21:7-8 where Jesus himself warns to “take heed that many will come in my name, saying I am.” The words Christ and he in most bibles have been added later by bible writers. The indicting phrase “I am” comes through loud and clear in “The Moses Code” because the suggested mantra is none other than I am, I am.
God Bless,
