<br />
This is an important book, this link includes purchase<br />
information for pdf version. There are many articles<br />
that discuss this issue you can find using a search<br />
engine also.<br />
<br />
you wouldn't think the new age has to do with<br />
pentecostalism and charismatic evangelicalism<br />
now would you? but there are distinct overlaps<br />
to put it mildly. And an alarming thing is that<br />
Alice Bailey said that the churches would be a<br />
key thing in bringing the new age in, by an<br />
infiltration and redefinition of terms so that new<br />
age ideas would replace somewhat similar but<br />
misinterpreted and misapplied (by new agers)<br />
ideas in Scripture.<br />
<br />
Branham is part of this mess. Another part is the<br />
developing doctrine attitude of Roman Catholicism<br />
which allows subtle error to build on subtle error<br />
in the visions and apparitions. All you need then<br />
is for a believer in such to become pope, and<br />
something once an optional but unnecessary<br />
belief becomes dogma. or at least a lot of such to<br />
teach in seminaries and the populace (out of which<br />
can come such a pope) believes something.<br />
<br />
A pope's pronouncements supposedly have to be<br />
on morals or faith and be given ex cathedra and<br />
the definition of the latter is so dicey yet precise<br />
an odd mix, that it is argued by some that except<br />
for the papal pronouncements of the immaculate<br />
conception of Mary, Mary as Queen of heaven<br />
(a concept in keeping with her being the King Jesus'<br />
mother, in Jewish practice the queen was the king's<br />
mother not one of his wives, but open to misapplication<br />
and suble redirection to pagan notions now visible<br />
in the pachamama debacle) and maybe one other<br />
thing I forget what, this power of infallible pronouncement<br />
has not been used at all and of course was it always<br />
a charism present, or only acquired when it was decreed<br />
by the crew that did so?<br />
<br />
Popes are always writing things about faith and morals,<br />
and the people will accept these as if ex cathedra due<br />
to simplicity. it takes a determined priest who does not<br />
accept some point to get these recognized as optional<br />
and opinions not dogmatic definitions of popes.<br />
<br />
Another problem is theosis. or divinization. In legitimate<br />
Christian thought, from Peter speaking of us participating<br />
in the divine nature, that's PARTICIPATING not acquiring,<br />
this is like the more traditional protestant notion of<br />
godliness which means godlikeness that is, God's<br />
character such as patience, love, justice and so forth<br />
and self control (one of the fruits as distinct from gifts<br />
of the Holy Spirit).<br />
<br />
The mysticism of Eastern Orthodoxy is that of living<br />
according to godliness and bringing the holy with you<br />
out of church into the world to affect the world and<br />
progressively change the profaneness of yourself and<br />
the world (insofar as you can affect it) into more<br />
and more holiness. And this may include in some cases<br />
a gift of discernment of spirits aka clairvoyance where<br />
a monk or someone in the world can read hearts, or<br />
even sometimes a sort of ability to sense things.<br />
Sometimes there are experiences involving icons and<br />
so forth that required discernment and advice from a<br />
spiritual father, if its not a regularly miraculous icon.<br />
Prelest, spiritual deception, a term that varies from a<br />
personal "fancy" to flat out possession, is something<br />
we are warned against.<br />
<br />
in new age mysticism and divinization, we are supposedly<br />
either already gods or god in us in a general way and we<br />
are supposed to realize this, or are to become gods by<br />
nature, not adoption and similar goodness like God. This<br />
is of course the lie of the serpent in Eden, that we would<br />
become like God in the transcendent sense knowing<br />
in an experiential and determining as beyond good and<br />
evil being supreme like God His equal or worse yet His<br />
superior. this is the new age lie and it appears in various<br />
forms in the charismatic scene as well.<br />
<br />
Branham received the shaktipat in india, and this is what<br />
is transferred in those anointings that track back by succession<br />
to him, which is to say most. kundalini not The Holy Spirit.Christine Erikson (aka Justina)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11594093718714798117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291308656213614242.post-64805417825487920742020-03-07T18:58:00.001-08:002020-03-07T19:01:00.892-08:00Revelation Definitely Written AD 96 not earlier<span style="background-color: white; color: #212529; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 21.6px;">Jackson, Wayne.

An effort is made by preterists and scholars after 1831<br />
to date Revelation as early, and all in it come to pass<br />
already. External and internal evidence shows it was<br />
written late.<br />
<br />
The sections that cover John's time to near future and now<br />
are Rev. chapters 1-6, with part of the latter unfulfilled<br />
but the context for it is lining up.<br />
<br />
The article shows that the attempt to interpret Nero<br />
as the antichrist "<span style="background-color: white; color: #212529; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif;">is possible only by pursuing the most irresponsible form of exegesis.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; line-height: 1.375rem; margin-bottom: 1.375rem;">
To come up with such an interpretation one must:</div>
<ol style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.375rem;">add the title “Caesar” to Nero’s name;</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.375rem;">compute the letter-number arrangement on the basis of Hebrew, whereas the book was written in Greek; and</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.375rem;">alter the spelling of “Caesar” by dropping the yodh in the Hebrew.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; line-height: 1.375rem; margin-bottom: 1.375rem;">
All of this reveals a truly desperate attempt to find a reference to Nero in the text.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; line-height: 1.375rem; margin-bottom: 1.375rem;">
Additionally, Leon Morris has pointed out that Irenaeus discussed a number of possibilities for deciphering the 666, but he did not even include Nero in his list, let alone regard this as a likely conjecture (1980, 38). Noted critic Theodor Zahn observed that Nero was not even suggested as a possibility until the year 1831 (447)."</div>

"fairy godmother" godmother in WHAT? a godparent stands as sponsor in Christianity for the child, just what demonic cult in a make nice format would this represent? the fae are said to pay a tithe every seven years to hell. the fairy dust that is scattered by Tinkerbell at the start of several Disney programs is like luciferian false light mind scattering stuff. Disney's fascist involvement is known, and they were often into occult philosophy whether racial only or more advanced. <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2013/12/walt-disney-anti-semitism-racism-sexism-frozen-head.html">https://www.vulture.com/2013/12/walt-disney-anti-semitism-racism-sexism-frozen-head.html</a> fact checks on rumors and still comes up with dirt. <a href="https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/06/walt-the-quasi-nazi-the-fascist-history-of-disney.html">https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/06/walt-the-quasi-nazi-the-fascist-history-of-disney.html </a>more info and credible based on observed behavior and statements <a href="https://amos37.com/the-disney-deception/">https://amos37.com/the-disney-deception/ </a> looks at his occultc subtle angle.<br />
<br />
the whole idea of fantasy (the word comes from phantasm or spirit or ghost) as being good for children then they have to outgrow it, and the ones who don't seem to be susceptible to all kinds of craziness incl. perversion, is twisted. the idea you only have to imagine and get what you want is life destroying waste and subjectivism unless, even worse, you figure out how to develop some power to affect others' minds and actually get some of it done. While fantasy stories have involved good vs. evil ideas, and C. S. Lewis attempted this in the slop job Narnia series, and Tolkien also but more paganized, more godless a universe, and some people have become Christians by their influence especially C. S. Lewis influence since he goes into reality writing as a Christian also, and the idea of good vs. evil may be pursued into rejecting the whole occultic fairy, otherworldly stuff, it also has been the conveyorbelt that led some into witchcultism.<br />
<br />
FAIRIES WERE NOT GOOD PEOPLE IN THE ORIGINAL STORIES, fairy lights (usually methane flames) led you to your death in quicksand on moors and swamps thinking you were heading towards a lit house in the distance, or just wandering out of your way for hours while hypothermia risk increases. fairies were usually terrifying and destructive things who had to be bribed and were easily ticked off classic malignant narcissist types psychologically stole all the time and wouldn't tolerate anyone stealing from them. Their palaces and so forth were lies and illusions.<br />
<br />
Fantasia was coming out of the closet so to speak. though it and the original story warns against meddling in stuff you can't handle, it does not rebuke the upstart's boss who is a wizard!<br />
<br />
cartoon characters get smashed then reconstitute themselves, go through thin gaps, and so forth. a friend of mine who could see stuff said spirits operate like this. SO WHERE DID THE CARTOONISTS GET THE IDEA? WHAT WERE THEY HANGING OUT WITH, OR AT LEAST ABLE TO SEE AND INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM USED THE IMAGERY?<br />

protestantism is to treat this as figurative and symbolic and<br />
spiritualize it. no specific explanation given.<br />
<br />
But this is after the new heavens and new earth the restoration of<br />
the earth to its original condition, after the Second Coming of<br />
Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead and rule on earth<br />
"and of His kingdom there shall be no end" says the Nicene-<br />
Constantinopolitan Creed.<br />
<br />
Chiliasm that was rejected was the idea that Christ's reign would<br />
only last 1,000 years, not that it wouldn't be physical. The first<br />
to denounce physicality of the Kingdom of Heaven was a pupil<br />
of Origen who considered it all just too disgustingly material and<br />
physical icky material stuff.<br />
<br />
Origen was subclinically gnostic, and started his drift to absurdities<br />
a laundry list he was eventually anathematized for post mortem,<br />
because he was always looking for some deeper hidden meaning<br />
in Scripture.<br />
<br />
Orthodoxy admits the literal meaning and that there can be other<br />
applications.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Augustine (origin of a lot of problems but his claim to<br />
fame was opposing the pelagian heresy which denied inherited<br />
sin warpedness and upheld free will to such an extreme that<br />
theoretically one could live sinless and not need a savior.<br />
(yeah, well you still got to accept Jesus as your King or you are<br />
engaging in sin right there.) The idea got ground that the Kingdom<br />
of HEaven was the Church, and nothing more. that the devil<br />
is bound now, though some argue the first millennium of the<br />
church he was bound and is now loosed. But push this far enough<br />
and you don't even have a literal Second Coming of Jesus Christ!<br />
<br />
Sure the Church is an outpost of the Kingdom of Heaven, and we<br />
are not to conquer the world for Christ and hand Him the Kingdom<br />
we built, but recruit for the Kingdom of Heaven.<br />
<br />
But what is the New JErusalem like? Here is what Revelation says,<br />
after the new heavens and new earth,<br />

a line of the spine, but here and there. <br />
<a href="https://www.eclecticenergies.com/chakras/differences.php">https://www.eclecticenergies.com/chakras/differences.php</a> discusses differences<br />
in ascribed locations and number of them, in fact some systems figure there <br />
are only four and the Indian tantra 7 and so forth. <br />
<br />
someone has suggested somewhere that some chakras are artificial and placed<br />
in people to exploit them by aliens or demons or whatever.<br />
<br />
the kundalini energy apparently runs up the spine from the lowest chakra to <br />
the top of the head. manifestations of this are often disturbing to put it mildly<br />
and appear in charismatic Christian groups and in the latihan of subud. clearly<br />
this is not The Holy Spirit, and could be a demon or a facilitator of such.<br />
<br />
What is more likely, is that kundalini does not normally lie coiled at the base<br />
of the spine, and that the chakras are not for the most part deployed along<br />
the spine, convenient to such an undoing of creation sort of thing as<br />
laya yoga or kundalini yoga. <br />

This is not identical with the raise kundalini idea but similar. whether it has the same<br />
symptoms or not is not stated. however, several new ager articles describe a <br />
kundalini syndrome of bad stuff happening as a result of these efforts. <br />
<br />
Clearly a lot of "manifestations of The Holy Spirit" are nothing of the sort, and much of<br />
the lineage of "anointings" in Pentecostalism/charismaticism track back to William Branham, <br />
who had an angel that acted more like a demon, and to who (instead of to God) Branham<br />
attributed all his miracles. Branham also made a missionary trip to India, met an Indian<br />
cultist who claimed to be the Messiah or Second Coming of Christ, and accepted him as such.<br />
The shaktipat or transfer of Shakti by touch from a guru is identical to the slain in the spirit<br />
and such like anointings, which Branham emphasized more than most did and probably<br />
acquired in India, then passed it on pretending it was The Holy Spirit. <br />
<br />
After some thought and prayer, I decided there is aside from the probability of either an<br />
energy derangement that demons can use, or a demon itself or group of them transferred in<br />
shaktipat or both, the whole chakra system is in error.<br />
<br />
For one thing, the throat chakra is NOT center or base of throat, but top of throat ringing<br />
it at base of skull. An attack on this point which I experienced twice in different ways, <br />
caused a painful in one case, garotte cinching sensation in the other case, at that point. <br />
Farther down, there is a center on the right side of the body where the belly joins the pelvis<br />
in the flesh crease. Leadbeater (a pervert who was apparently also psychic) located chakras<br />
some of them off center. <br />
<br />
The error is not so much where they are naturally located, but in concentrating on them AS<br />
BEING LOCATED SPINALLY. <br />
<br />
These meditations bring the normally offcenter chakras into alignment, allowing an abnormal<br />
straight flow upwards of energy. This derangement is easily used by demons, aside from <br />
being a warping in itself.<br />
<br />
So aside from opening them being to facilitate lying spirits, RELOCATING them centrally<br />
is a warping of their position and creating an abnormal condition that, however peaceful or<br />
whatever it might feel at times, is enabling a spiritually dangerous paranormal condition<br />
or event to occur.<br />
<br />
UPDATE Leadbeater said the chakras originate from the spine and play out in the various locations many of them not central to the spine. same issue applies, to focus on them at their origin in the spine instead of where they are supposed to be after origin, like any nervous systems segment, is to do damage that may feel good.<br /><br />I notice that adherence to correct doctrine and rejecting evil and sin are often categorized as the kind of negativity that reflects an unhealthy condition of some particular chakra. maybe what the new age writers call unhealthy is in fact healthy!Christine Erikson (aka Justina)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11594093718714798117noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291308656213614242.post-16430038943329270252016-11-04T22:37:00.002-07:002016-11-04T22:38:46.613-07:00 Bill and Hillary are closet devil worshippers and the same demons deceive the white light wiccans who don't understand what they are worshipping <a href="http://politicallyunclassifiable.blogspot.com/2016/11/bill-and-hillary-are-closet-devil.html">http://politicallyunclassifiable.blogspot.com/2016/11/bill-and-hillary-are-closet-devil.html</a>Christine Erikson (aka Justina)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11594093718714798117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291308656213614242.post-40901448018853629012016-10-26T14:01:00.002-07:002016-10-26T14:01:24.290-07:00are all mystical experiences the same?<br />
<a href="https://truthxchange.com/2016/10/the-interface-of-medieval-mysticism-and-buddhist-mindfulness-meditation/">https://truthxchange.com/2016/10/the-interface-of-medieval-mysticism-and-buddhist-mindfulness-meditation/</a><br />
<br /><br />
this notion is explored in this article which points out that neoplatonism is undergirding <br />
roman Catholicism to some extent despite its official trinitarianism. however if all<br />
mystics are experiencing the same and headed in the same direction, clearly <em>that </em><br />
<em>proves that mysticism as usually understood is an illusion. </em><br />
<br /><br />
Because with radical distinct theologies etc. you cannot be all the same, and the <br />
mystical experience and practice which may be compatible with or an outworking<br />
of the theory of one or some, <em>is alien to others regardless of how it is seen or</em><br />
<em>experienced as not alien.</em><br />
<br /><br />
There is a problem of apparent differences even among mystics, which is resolved<br />
by theorists of this mystical ecumenism, by saying they can't express what they<br />
experience so each gives a somewhat different impression in trying to express it.<br />
<br /><br />
But R. C. Zaehner in <em>Mysticism: Sacred and Profane</em> shows two things that refute<br />
this:<br />
<br /><br />
a. there are three (at least) styles of mysticism. theistic, monistic and "nature mysticism."<br />
b. there was at least one man, Beaudelaire, who pursued the mystical paths each to their<br />
distinct goal, so this one man experienced them. Unlike someone who experiences <br />
illumination in one system and another in another and we can think they have experienced<br />
the same inexpressible thing and apparent differences in description are an illusion.<br />
<br /><br />
Its not an illusion.<br />
<br /><br />
they are not the same, they don't lead to the same final condition, and.....<br />
<br /><br />
Beaudelaire died reconciled to the Roman Catholic Church and of the opinion that ALL<br />
THE MYSTICAL SYSTEMS, EVEN THE THEISTIC ONE OF HIS PREFERRED <br />
CHURCH, ARE DECEPTIONS. all are false.<br />
<br /><br />
now, the term mysticism is thrown around loosely. Even "mindfulness" is misapplied<br />
now, when I first heard of it decades ago in a book on Buddhism, it was the first stage of<br />
meditation where you are not abstracted from reality but hyper alert and hyper focused<br />
on external reality and your relationship to it. That would be fine if it ended there, but<br />
it doesn't. They go on to a next stage where they consider all this is illusion and keep going<br />
to more and more abstraction.<br />
<br /><br />
Orthodoxy refers to mysticism meaning the living out in daily life of religion you don't<br />
leave the holy when you leave church you bring it with you and try to conform your life<br />
and such of the world as you can influence to it. (another term theosis or divinization has<br />
nothing to do with becoming gods in the new age sense, but rather partaking of not<br />
acquiring of or realizing one is made of the divine nature. participating in not becoming or<br />
acquiring. gods in the sense of in God's family by adoption, by grace not by nature. <br />
protestants would call this regeneration or maybe sanctification. "illumination" refers to<br />
receiving baptism and Chrismation, the real baptism of and infilling by The Holy Spirit,<br />
which is mostly imperceptible He gives you the power to lead a godly life.)<br />
<br /><br />
But the mysticism usually referred to by this term is one of <em>altered states of consciousness.</em><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
<em>it is not without reason that a comparison is made between some drug trips and mystical</em><br />
<em>experiences and illumination. the drugless trip is meditation where you learn to tweak your</em><br />
<em>brain without a drug doing it, altering your brain chemistry. most don't go to the point of</em><br />
<em>hallucination. A sense of adoration and awe and a lively sense of God being evident by His </em><br />
<em>creation and operative in it in maintaining it and enjoying His creation is not the same</em><br />
<em>thing as pantheism, but such a worshipful sense can be had by anyone in any religion </em><br />
<em>regarding a false god. The capability of experiencing the emotional reaction to God of awe </em><br />
<em>does not, therefore, guarantee your theology and biblical interpretations are correct. </em><br />

<br />
<br />
Ray Yungen did important research on the New Age practices focusing<br />
on how they have gotten into Christian churches under the heading of<br />
relaxation methods and in some cases supposedly getting closer to God.<br />
(The only flaw I see is that he bought the idea presented by RC and <br />
protestant etc. proponents that contemplative or centering prayer and<br />
lectio divina <em>in the form they are now</em> originated with the Desert Fathers.<br />
Originally one was to contemplate Jesus Christ or some passage in <br />
Scripture and lectio divina was reading The Bible in order to apply it<br />
in life. Now they mean mind blanking and eroding the separate sense<br />
of self identity and confusing yourself with God, or finding the god <br />
within deception or the higher self, which is a disguised demon at <br />
worst, a delusion at best. "Be still and know that I am God" is taken<br />
out of context and made to be something someone says to themselves<br />
about themselves, when it was YHWH (Jehovah) telling David to<br />
calm down, know that YHWH is God Almighty and will deal with<br />
whatever it was. And lectio divina is contemplating some bit of <br />
Scripture to "soak" in it to get in a mood, then shut the book and forget<br />
about it. disconnect between Bible and life, a mood not actual learning<br />
and application and gratitude to the separate from us and from all<br />
creation Creator. The criticism of these practices, however, is correct.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Ray passed away a few days ago of a rapidly developing cancer. <br />
<br /><br />
[CORRECTION: this was not peculiar given his history and the type <br />
of cancer. weakened immune system since childhood, diagnosed at <br />
18 with a blood disorder given 6 months to live, but miraculously <br />
survived until this leukemia was identified and he was too weak to<br />
handle the chemotherapy apparently. Of course, on the other hand, <br />
perhaps he did have some "help" several years ago, and God restrained<br />
it until now.]<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
This is something peculiar in itself, and nothing unusual among unusual<br />
deaths, that is, people who were onto something, getting too close to<br />
something, too dangerous to some interests somewhere. In other words,<br />
murder. There are a few viruses and chemicals that can start this <br />
process. I would suspect some psychic attack and demonic attack could<br />
do so also. <br />
<br />
<br />
Which brings us to something special about Ray as an anti New Age<br />
researcher and writer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ray recognized that energy that can be sent from the fingertips and<br />
suchlike things are real. I think he actually saw some of it. This is<br />
something that is, as a belief in itself that this is real, dismissed as<br />
being New Age in itself. And in one video I saw, he said that he got<br />
all kinds of trouble from other Christians for this, some wouldn't talk<br />
to him anymore when he said he saw the sparks or whatever coming<br />
off someone's fingertips.<br />
<br />
<br />
That is wrong. In some cases, this may be a demonically contaminated<br />
flow, or a demon disguised as a flow in some amorphous form. But the<br />
existence of energy fields and centers in the body is indicated by <br />
Ecclesiastes 6:12, and by the original (not sloppy variety) kirlian <br />
photography, which documented the energy signature of the missing <br />
half of a cut leaf, still attached to the rest of the leaf. This is suggested <br />
as the cause of "phantom limb pain" in some amputees. <br />
<br />
<br />
That passage in Ecclesiastes, in context, is not supporting focus on <br />
or experimentation with these things, rather than one should focus on<br />
God.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is called the etheric body or astral body is essentially the soul,<br />
the part of it that interfaces to and supports the life of the physical<br />
body without which it (incl. all cells, etc.) is a lifeless lump.<br />
<br />
<br />
This means that New Age practices are not only dangerous in terms<br />
of facilitating heresy and delusions and demonic contact, but <br />
dangerous in a pragmatic sense: <em>the energy system is deranged by</em><br />
<em>these practices. </em><br />
<br />
<br />
And witchcraft can be a real thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
This made Ray far more dangerous than the usual anti New Ager.<br />
<br />
<br />
And with this mindset, he was also talking about Reiki. This is an<br />
extremely dangerous system, because unlike most that rely on the<br />
practitioner managing to affect someone's energy system with their<br />
own, this relies on a "current" received at initiation and spirits that<br />
come with it, and are an essential part of the practice itself. <br />
<br />
<br />
Someone on Cumbey's blog comments said that reiki puts spirits in<br />
people and their internal only literature says so but that the patient<br />
shouldn't know this. <br />
<br />
<br />
The Master level of reiki can initiate others. practitioners have reported<br />
the reiki spirits gaining more control over time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<em>The belief is that if enough people are initiated into master level, that</em><br />
<em>a kind of critical mass will be reached, and the reiki spirits can </em><br />
<em>operate more freely.</em><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
When I was researching Feri (Anderson) witchcraft, now split into<br />
two or three versions, the egroup which was involving people from<br />
the start of it who knew the founders said that the initiation involved<br />
a "current" which could cause insanity and other problems in people<br />
who were initiated without caution. Almost all on the egroup reported<br />
that part of the results in their lives was being more "open" to <br />
sexual experimentation ranging from promiscuity to perversion. <br />
One at least had the experience of one of their "gods" taking the<br />
form of a seductive barely pubescent little girl with a heavy sexual<br />
atmosphere, like it was leading him in the direction of pedophilia.<br />
<br />
<br />
Feri being ecstasy rather than fertility oriented is more anything <br />
goes than standard wicca. And it has two sources. One from the <br />
woman founder Cora is Ozark witchcraft, which itself tracks back<br />
to East Anglia in England. A neo pagan who researched witch<br />
traditions uncomfortably admitted in print that these were pretty<br />
much the same as were accused in the medieval witch trials. <br />
Initiation involves sexual intercourse heterosexual. The other is<br />
a wild eclecticism drawing on Hawaiian Huna and flat out <br />
luciferianism by her husband Victor Anderson, who was bisexual<br />
(Cora was not bisexual). <br />
<br />
<br />
<em>Repeatedly reiki turned up as something the Feri people were also</em><br />
<em>into and very comfortable with, and they said the initiation involved</em><br />
<em>passing a current just like the Feri initiation did.</em><br />
<br />
<br />
reiki initiation involves meditating on some symbols and getting<br />
in touch with some spirits, the whole thing tracking back to something<br />
that happened to someone on a mountain top in Japan. <br />

superhumanity and so forth. The well known terms out of occultism "left hand<br />
path" aka LHP and "right hand path" aka RHP come from this. In the left hand<br />
path ceremonies, various forbidden things were done and the woman the man<br />
was to fornicate in "sacred sex" with would sit on his left side. In the right hand<br />
path ceremonies, various forbidden things were done only symbolically, and <br />
the woman partner in this would sit on the man's right side. <br />
<br /><br />
Both of course were practicing the forbidden the former in reality the latter in<br />
symbolism. <br />
<br /><br />
Tantra included some ideas about manipulation of the energy body or what I call<br />
the outer edge of the soul where it interfaces to the body and supports the body's<br />
life. The number and locations of whirling centers of energy called chakra for<br />
being wheel like (Eccles. 12:6 refers to all this as a reality while denouncing <br />
this as useless for eternal life and a good standing with The Creator YHWH)<br />
varies per system the present form being derived from Theosophy and Hinduism.<br />
<br /><br />
Some of this "energy" is just how they interpreted the feel of blood pressure <br />
changes in parts of the body or all over. Some of it is more than that, being a<br />
shift in the flow of the energy or etheric system of the individual (which is NOT<br />
divine any more than the physical body is divine and is NOT your connection to<br />
some all permeating etheric pantheistic deity and if an etheric substrate to <br />
everything exists it is just another thing YHWH created, it is not YHWH <br />
Himself and is not divine).<br />
<br /><br />
and worse yet, it can be the motions of a demon brought in by the exercizes.<br />
<br /><br />
Laya yoga is tantric in nature. It proposes to force the kundalini energy up through<br />
the various chakras on the spine and into the brain inducing Samadhi more quickly<br />
than usual methods. Eventually one achieves para-Samadhi - which you don't come <br />
out of. In other words, <em>laya yoga is a labor intensive form of suicide.</em><br />
<br /><br />
Now, yoga of the physical sort has some merit for some stretching and affecting<br />
the endocrine system etc., but it is a conveyorbelt to the rest of it, and <em>each position</em><br />
<em>was revealed by some demon posing as a god to some hermit sannyasi as an </em><br />
<em>invocation to a different "deity," each posture refers to and invokes a different </em><br />
<em>"deity."</em><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
the Hindu false god Shiva is connected to a lot of this, and is part of the pre Aryan<br />
Indian scene apparently. Or maybe not. That the Zoroastrians call their angels <br />
ahuras and demons devas, while hindus do the reverse, calling their "good gods" <br />
devas and the demons asuras, fairly screams that some serious religious split <br />
occurred in eastern Persia presaging the move of the devil worshippers into India.<br />
<br /><br />
Shiva has some interesting parallels to satan/Lucifer:<br />
<br /><br />
"In India, the god of the <em>Hindus</em>, <em>Shiva</em>, bears the name <em>Bhooteshwara</em> (Lord Of Ghosts And Evil Beings), <em>Bhairav</em> – Lord Of Terror, <em>Chandrapal</em> – Master Of The Moon, <em>Kantha</em> – Ever-Radiant (Luminous), <em>Mahamaya</em> – Of Great Illusions, <em>Nityasundara</em> – Ever Beautiful, <em>Pinakin</em> – One Who Has A Bow In His Hand, <em>Bhutapala</em> (protector of the ghosts). Satan is also given all these attributes in the Bible. He is the “ruler of the demons” (Mathew 3:22). His symbol is placed on the forehead."<br />
<br /><br />
<a href="http://shoebat.com/2016/10/16/christians-prepare-for-the-coming-battle-of-armageddon-the-war-between-god-and-lucifer-and-understand-what-must-you-do-to-be-ready/">http://shoebat.com/2016/10/16/christians-prepare-for-the-coming-battle-of-armageddon-the-war-between-god-and-lucifer-and-understand-what-must-you-do-to-be-ready/</a><br />
<br /><br />
So when you decide to balance your chakras or that something needs to be done about your<br />
aura, you need to rethink and consider where all this came from.<br />
<br /><br />
The typical Christian response (I am a Christian) is to dismiss it all as "deception," in other words<br />
no aura no chakra no etheric body exists. (exactly what that is that leaves the body at death then is<br />
anyone's guess. actually the existence of the etheric body or soul is validated by the Bible.)<br />
<br /><br />
But this is wrong. The deception is <em>what to do with them and why. </em><br />
<br /><br />
Essentially New Age and Tantra (which found its way into Buddhism and probably gave birth<br />
to the twisted form called Mahayana which came to Tibet by some crazy "holy men" who hailed<br />
from India but taught notions of the illuminated master being above good and evil and can do<br />
anything and it is not sin) are against the value of the body. any health to be gained is strictly to<br />
make it easier to do more difficult things to accomplish the ultimate goal, "liberation" from the<br />
body. It is consistent with Gnosticism. it is evil. <br />
<br /><br />
God declared all He had made "very good" in Genesis. <br />
<br /><br />

AD 180<span class="h1a">God is not to be sought after by means of letters, syllables, and numbers; necessity of humility in such investigations.</span> <br />
1. If any one, however, say in reply to these things, What then? Is it a meaningless and <!--k36-->accidental<!--k31--> thing, that the positions of names, and the <!--k37-->election<!--k31--> of the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01626c.htm">apostles</a>, and the working of the <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31-->, and the arrangement of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04470a.htm">created</a> things, are what they are?— we answer them: Certainly not; but with great wisdom and diligence, all things have clearly been made by <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>, fitted and prepared [for their special purposes]; and His word formed both things ancient and those belonging to the latest times; and <!--k39-->men<!--k31--> ought not to connect those things with the number <em>thirty</em>, <!--k80=01-3194--> but to harmonize them with what actually exists, or with right <!--k38-->reason<!--k31-->. Nor should they seek to prosecute inquiries respecting <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> by means of numbers, syllables, and letters. For this is an uncertain mode of proceeding, on account of their varied and diverse systems, and because every sort of hypothesis may at the present day be, in like manner, <!--k34-->devised<!--k31--> <!--k80=01-3195--> by any one; so that <!--k80=01-3196--> they can derive arguments against the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15073a.htm">truth</a> from these very theories, inasmuch as they may be turned in many different directions. But, on the contrary, they ought to adapt the numbers themselves, and those things which have been formed, to the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15073a.htm">true</a> theory <!--k37-->lying<!--k31--> before them. For system <!--k80=01-3197--> does not spring out of numbers, but numbers from a system; nor does <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> derive His being from things made, but things made from <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>. For all things originate from one and the same <!--k39-->God<!--k31-->.<br />
2. But since <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04470a.htm">created</a> things are various and numerous, they are indeed well fitted and adapted to the whole <!--k38-->creation<!--k31-->; yet, when viewed <!--k37-->individually<!--k31-->, are mutually opposite and inharmonious, just as the sound of the lyre, which consists of many and opposite notes, gives <!--k38-->rise<!--k31--> to one unbroken melody, through means of the interval which separates each one from the others. The lover of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15073a.htm">truth</a> therefore ought not to be deceived by the interval between each note, nor should he <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07672a.htm">imagine</a> that one was due to one <!--k36-->artist<!--k31--> and author, and another to another, nor that one <!--k38-->person<!--k31--> fitted the treble, another the <!--k34-->bass<!--k31-->, and yet another the tenor strings; but he should hold that one and the same <!--k38-->person<!--k31--> [formed the whole], so as to <!--k38-->prove<!--k31--> the <!--k38-->judgment<!--k31-->, <!--k38-->goodness<!--k31-->, and skill exhibited in the whole work and [specimen of] wisdom. Those, too, who listen to the melody, ought to praise and extol the artist, to admire the tension of some notes, to attend to the softness of others, to catch the sound of others between both these extremes, and to consider the special <!--k38-->character<!--k31--> of others, so as to inquire at what each one aims, and what is the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03459a.htm">cause</a> of their variety, never failing to apply our rule, neither giving up the [one <!--k80=01-3198-->] artist, nor casting off <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm">faith</a> in the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10499a.htm">one God</a> who formed all things, nor <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02595a.htm">blaspheming</a> our <!--k38-->Creator<!--k31-->.<br />
3. If, however, any one do not discover the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03459a.htm">cause</a> of all those things which become objects of investigation, let him reflect that man is <!--k36-->infinitely<!--k31--> inferior to <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>; that he has received <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06689a.htm">grace</a> only in part, and is not yet equal or similar to his <!--k37-->Maker<!--k31-->; and, moreover, that he cannot have experience or <!--k38-->form<!--k31--> a conception of all things <!--k88=397--> like <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>; but in the same proportion as he who was formed but today, and received the beginning of his <!--k38-->creation<!--k31-->, is inferior to Him who is uncreated, and who is always the same, in that proportion is he, as respects <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08673a.htm">knowledge</a> and the faculty of investigating the <!--k38-->causes<!--k31--> of all things, inferior to Him who made him. For you, O man, are not an uncreated being, nor did you always co-exist <!--k80=01-3199--> with <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>, as did His own <!--k38-->Word<!--k31-->; but now, through His pre-eminent <!--k38-->goodness<!--k31-->, receiving the beginning of your <!--k38-->creation<!--k31-->, you gradually learn from the <!--k38-->Word<!--k31--> the <!--k36-->dispensations<!--k31--> of <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> who made you.<br />
4. Preserve therefore the proper order of your <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08673a.htm">knowledge</a>, and do not, as being <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07648a.htm">ignorant</a> of things really <!--k39-->good<!--k31-->, seek to <!--k38-->rise<!--k31--> above <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> Himself, for He cannot be surpassed; nor do you seek after any one above the <!--k38-->Creator<!--k31-->, for you will not discover such. For your <!--k36-->Former<!--k31--> cannot be contained within limits; nor, although you should measure all this [<a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15183a.htm">universe</a>], and pass through all His <!--k38-->creation<!--k31-->, and consider it in all its depth, and height, and length, would you be able to conceive of any other above the Father Himself. For you will not be able to think Him fully out, but, indulging in trains of reflection opposed to your <!--k39-->nature<!--k31-->, you will <!--k38-->prove<!--k31--> yourself foolish; and if you persevere in such a course, you will fall into utter <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08041a.htm">madness</a>, while you deem yourself loftier and greater than your <!--k38-->Creator<!--k31-->, and <!--k34-->imaginest<!--k31--> that you can penetrate beyond His dominions.<br />

the charismatic evangelicals (often in the persons of their<br />
most blasphemous and heretical leaders like Kenneth<br />
Copeland) and the Roman Catholic church is along exactly<br />
the worst lines of RC: contemplative mysticism. <br />
<br /><br />
This started as a warp of the Desert Fathers and is falsely <br />
blamed on them because the same terms are used, but mean<br />
totally different things. Originally contemplative prayer was<br />
to pray while contemplating Jesus or some verses in the Bible<br />
usually Psalms. And lectio divina was to read the Bible in order<br />
to learn from it and put it into practice. All very conscious, and<br />
not mystical except in the Orthodox meaning, to accord one's<br />
life and thought outside of church services and prayers with<br />
those church services and prayers. not to keep religion in one<br />
pocket and the rest of life in another. <br />
<br /><br />
After the Great Schism of AD 1054 when RC went into schism<br />
from us (and proceeded to lie about it to this day claiming we<br />
went into schism from them), there was less grace in them and<br />
so they more easily fell to deceptions. Complicating this was<br />
Jerome's mistranslation of Genesis 3:15, from the woman's SEED<br />
being the one to crush the serpent's head, to the woman herself<br />
doing this. GENESIS 3:15 IS THE FIRST MESSIANIC<br />
PROPHECY OF CHRIST IN THE BIBLE, AND IT POSITS A<br />
DEATH AND RESURRECTION SINCE BOTH THE SERPENT<br />
AND THE SEED DO LETHAL ACTIONS TO EACH OTHER.<br />
The serpent's bite can only refer to a poisonous bite, and the <br />
crushing of the head well, obviously the devil isn't totally bound<br />
and totally crushed, but a severe crippling has occurred. the final<br />
permanent elimination of him from all of creation but the lake of<br />
fire hasn't happened yet.<br />
<br /><br />
Jerome mistranslated this against the witness of three streams of<br />
Holy Scripture: Septuagint, Masoretic, and Samaritan. <em>This had</em><br />
<em>to be deliberate. </em>A contemporary excused him that he was <br />
influenced by corrupt Greek manuscripts, but he did enough <br />
research to know better. This mistranslation set up the RC for <br />
any "marian" visions that promoted an extreme focus on Mary as<br />
the one to conquer the devil. Sure, she is powerful, and likely a<br />
supreme exorcist after Jesus, but the picture presented by most<br />
of these visions is flawed, and involves a lot more talkativeness<br />
and multiple visitations over time than typical of the few events<br />
that occurred before and after the Great Schism in the east.<br />
<br /><br />
Scholasticism kicked in, adopting philosophy as guide instead <br />
of merely a tool to exploit to convert pagans. Monastics revolted<br />
in the opposite direction, anti intellectual and more emotional.<br />
Contemplative prayer became the sort of garbage now promoted<br />
by saints and magisterium and new age alike, and lectio divina <br />
became "soaking" to get in a mood which was then exited to deal<br />
with the rest of life, and as the mood fades so does any holiness<br />
assuming you got any in the process in the first place.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Stumbling somehow on Barbara Aho's site, Watch<br />
Unto Prayer, I discovered a lot of stuff that really<br />
alarmed me.<br />
<br />
Now, first off, I am sad to see that Ms. Aho accepts the<br />
Jewish world conspiracy line of thought, totally rejects<br />
Israel (after all didn't Ezekiel say they would be brought<br />
to their old land and THEN purified of their uncleanness?<br />
This is hardly the picture of the return from Babylonia,<br />
though a few priests and others had married Moabite<br />
women and not converted them or their children, and<br />
some other problems, it was hardly a picture of the kind<br />
of apostasy typical of secular and race oriented Israel<br />
now), and is pre trib and I am not sure of her end times<br />
scenario,<br />
<br />
all that said her research on ecumenical dangers and the<br />
networking involved and the New Apostolic Reformation<br />
and other charismatic heresies and demonic manifestations<br />
is superb.<br />
<br />
Aho is good at catching subtleties that go over a lot of<br />
peoples' heads. Those subtleties are important, because<br />
just like subtleties in times past they lay the groundwork<br />
once accepted for less subtle things. Also she points out,<br />
that when some occult ritual in disguise is going on, the<br />
lack of understanding by most participants has no bearing<br />
on the outcome, it may even enhance it. Probably because<br />
lacking understanding that might make them reject it, they<br />
wholeheartedly go along with it, and the energies they<br />
generate in their "worship" services are directed to the<br />
purposes of the demons.<br />
<br />
Fuller Theological Seminary is one institution that you<br />
do NOT want to see in the specs on a minister of your<br />
church.<br />
<br />
For details, cruise her site. http://watchpair.com<br />
<br />
Now, an awful lot of materials produced by various<br />
discernment ministries are good. But NEVER accept<br />
a writer or teacher as the best thing since sliced bread.<br />
They all have flaws. (They are usually protestant,<br />
which means they will attack the clear Bible teaching<br />
of the literal Body and Blood of Christ being in the<br />
Eucharist, which is also upheld by early church writers<br />
from the second and third centuries, 100s and 200s<br />
AD.)<br />
<br />
A major problem in Roman Catholicism or rather two<br />
major problems is this.<br />
<br />
a. the veneration of Mary is over the top, various visions<br />
have promoted ascription of titles and functions to her<br />
that are proper to Jesus Christ only. While prots misinterpret<br />
the idea of her intercession being in conflict with Jesus as<br />
the ONE intercessor between mankind and God, when in<br />
fact she intercedes with Jesus for us, so do the saints, so<br />
does anyone you ask to pray for you, the overall picture<br />
and terms in play in these visions and pop Catholicism is<br />
close to usurping that role of Jesus if not actually usurping<br />
it. Notable also is the fact that all or most of this stuff<br />
began AFTER they went into schism from the original<br />
undivided church, now called Eastern Orthodox in AD<br />
1054. Of course they lie and say we are in schism but<br />
that is not the case. Supposedly we are heretical also, but<br />
how this can be when they share the same core doctrine<br />
we do, but added to it, I don't know. By official RC<br />
statements, Orthodox Apostolic Succession and Sacraments<br />
are as valid as theirs.)<br />
<br />
b. closely allied to the whole visionary trend are the<br />
practices called lectio divina and contemplative or centering<br />
prayer. Supposedly this goes back to the Desert Fathers<br />
of Orthodoxy, but that is a lie or at least a misconception.<br />
<br />
lectio divina was originally reading The Bible in order to<br />
practice it, live it. Contemplative prayer was originally<br />
about contemplating verses or several verses of Scripture.<br />
<br />
In the west in the Middle Ages, the extreme rationalism of<br />
scholasticism was a turn off to many monastics, and a more<br />
emotional "mystical" mindset developed to offset this. The<br />
result was lectio divina became "soaking" in the Bible as<br />
it is called now, an irrationalist kind of reading, a state you'd<br />
get into, then leave, no connection to the rest of the day.<br />
Contemplative prayer similarly became an exercise in dreamy<br />
states. This of course helped the development of visions and<br />
so forth.<br />
<br />
A major problem I have with visionaries is "locutions." This<br />
is where instead of hearing a voice from outside into your ears,<br />
the voice speaks inside your body, maybe your belly, very<br />
weird sounding.<br />
<br />
A person of my acquaintance who could project to some extent<br />
did this to me once, I found it very creepy and told him not to<br />
do this, but obviously a whole lecture could be delivered this<br />
way to a deceived visionary, by a secret heretic with paranormal<br />
ability within a mile of him or her, and an agenda. Aside from<br />
just demons.<br />
<br />
NO LOCUTION SHOULD BE GIVEN ANY CREDENCE,<br />
and the presence of locutions in any visionary's history should<br />
discredit the entire batch of visions.<br />
<br />
In precisely this New Agey form, these RC mystical practices,<br />
unknown (almost except for some individual deceived monks)<br />
in Orthodoxy and among the early Desert Fathers, has come<br />
into evangelicalism in the emerging church and other such<br />
movements. (Some of them play with Orthodox icons and so<br />
forth, and might be approachable to educate them about the<br />
realities of what they are doing, and maybe convert them to<br />
Orthodoxy and non ecumenical sanity.)<br />
<br />
Watchman Nee once said that passivity of the mind and will<br />
is what the demons want, and will possess a pagan doing this,<br />
and when Christians do this demons will act on them also.<br />
(you can argue about whether Christians can get possessed or<br />
not, but then there would be the issue of were they really<br />
"born again" or devoted to Jesus of The Bible or were they<br />
only seeking thrills, chills, miracles, and cultivating occultism<br />
relevant passive mind states and perhaps other ways of opening<br />
doors to demons, such as getting the pseudo Christian version<br />
of hindu shakti pat the touch that transfers anointing so called<br />
and can put you on your back, whether Christian or hindu<br />
context.)<br />

<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_57d03423494862971201051">
"Grave sucking" is the name given by practitioners, people like Benny Hinn who may have started this, maybe not, by lying on Katherine Kuhlman's grave to get "anointing" from her remains (pick up vibes left over with the corpse supposedly uber holy), and denied after derision by some but recently a photo of the wife of a denier doing exactly this put the lie to this. <br />
While Benny Hinn's Middle Eastern Orthodox or RC background as a child may have contributed to this, there is<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show"> nothing like this in the practice of either. Venerating, maybe touching, relics (bodies or body parts) of dead martyrs and other saints never including crashing out on their graves. This was some really extreme innovation on his part.</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
(that the dead may leave some kind of personality vibes behind, incl. influence from evil spirits they had or godly influence if very godly is another matter, frankly I always thought that funeral customs of kissing the corpse goodbye, and less extreme stuff like having picnics in graveyards, was asking for trouble, since the vast majority of people even baptized, chrismated and confessed and last rites-ed Christians even Orthodox are not reliable as perfect and God bearing.)<br />
But there is another cultural source for grave sucking of exactly this kind, and even more extreme.<br />
Nazi SS men, more trained in the mystical side of nazism than the average Nazi "laity" so to speak, would do this sort of thing, I think I recall they would lie on graves of heroic dead to get some of their courage, but DEFINITELY THEY WOULD HAVE SEX ON SUCH GRAVES WITH THEIR WIVES OR GIRLFRIENDS, WITH A VIEW TO THE RESULTING CHILD HAVING SOME OF THE QUALITIES OF THE ADMIRED DEAD.<br />
So where is Hinn coming from? Especially with his bullshit about each Person of The Holy Trinity being Himself a trinity adding up to NINE gods? this is like ancient Egyptian pantheon. Obviously he is getting led and taught by demons who are the sort more able to contain their hate and obvious venom towards mankind enough to pretend to be loving and light and so forth, as St. Paul warns, satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. And the same spirit crew who could give pleasing even beautiful false experiences (just look at Miguel Serrano's ravings in Hitler the Ultimate Avatar) were with a more pagan flavor misleading Nazi and proto Nazi mystics, such as the Thule Society and the Germanen Order and less obviously harmful wanderwogel types before that that laid the groundwork for this. <br />
Interesting how Paul Crouch (probably in hell, someone pray for his soul) and Hinn could both get in a wanna kill their detractors state of mind.</div>

it seems to have started with an American Civil War General, Ethan Allen Hitchcock.<br />

subject of all their desires and efforts was not any philosopher's stone or any transmutation of base <br />

<br /><br />
pp. 425 - 426 Fifty Years in Camp and Field: Diary of Major-General Ethan Allen Hitchcock ...<br />By Ethan Allen Hitchcock "<br />
in Wikipedia is <br />
"Contributions to alchemy studies[edit]<br />
By the time of his death, Hitchcock had amassed a large private library, including over 250 volumes <br />
on the subject of alchemy. This collection was widely regarded as one of the finest private holdings <br />
of rare alchemical works and is preserved by St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of <br />
Missouri-St. Louis. Through Remarks upon Alchemy and the Alchemists and other writings, <br />
Hitchcock argued that the alchemists were actually religious philosophers writing in symbolism. In <br />
Problems of Mysticism and its Symbolism, the Viennese psychologist Herbert Silberer credited <br />
Hitchcock with helping to open the way for his explorations of the psychological content of <br />
alchemy." <br />
<br /><br />
Remarks upon Alchemy and Alchemists (published in 1857)<br />Swedenborg a Hermetic Philosopher (1858)<br />Christ the Spirit (1861)<br />The Story of the Red Book of Appin (1863)<br />Spenser's Poem (1865)<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_A._Hitchcock_(general)#Contributions_to_alchemy_studies">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_A._Hitchcock_(general)#Contributions_to_alchemy_studies</a> "<br />
<br /><br />
notice something here. this guy was interested in Swedenborg, and in James Webb's <em>The Occult</em><br />
<em>Establishment</em> I noticed that all the really major dangerous stuff track back to two sources of<br />
lineage of influence, Swedenborg being one of them. I forget the other right now. Swedenborg <br />
had a lot of weird experiences and believed he was talking with angels, but he said at one point<br />
that ALL spirits will lie. doesn't sound angelic to me. satan can transform himself into the likeness<br />
of an angel of light Paul warns. <br />
<br /><br />
then that title Christ the Spirit would seem to imply a confusion between the Second and Third<br />
Persons of the Holy Trinity and perhaps even a denial of the physical nature of Christ's <br />
Resurrection. Not having read the book I can't be sure, but both are possible given the title and<br />
neither inconsistent with occult philosophy. <br />
<br /><br />
Spenser's Poem would be about The Faerie Queen which essentially posits that a knight who<br />
wears the cross of Christ would properly have to do with the fae, and though all kinds of <br />
deception by spirits is indicated (Spark notes) the association makes the fae look legitimate.<br />
That it is a red cross is indicating this knight is a Templar, of which the less said the better. <br />
They had already been hijacked by (or perhaps did help form) speculative masonry and other<br />
groups by Hitchcock's time. <br />
<br /><br />
The Red Book of Appin is a flat out grimoire. I don't propose to read any of this garbage <br />
having been exposed already in my wrong headed teens and prefer to forget most. But the <br />
picture I'm getting on this guy is that he was into dark stuff.<br />
<br /><br />
Hitchcock influenced Silberer, Silberer influenced Jung, Jung with the help of a familiar<br />
spirit aka demon and assorted Nazi mysticism begat a sizeable chunk of the New Age and<br />
took Freud's dip into mythology into a whole hog wallow. <br />
<br /><br />
Jung invented the notion of the collective unconscious, which is bullshit. a similar idea in<br />
theosophy and related occult philosophy is the akashic records where is recorded everything<br />
that ever happened. That by definition would include every thought that ever happened, most<br />
of which is going to be bullshit. So if it exists it is worthless. A classic example of what you<br />
can get when you seek to find the real history of whatever, is a couple of proto Nazi mystics<br />
Webb I think it was wrote about, who meditating discovered that originally there was Aryan<br />
Adam and Eve, who were if I recall right 12 feet tall, lived at the north pole or something <br />
like that and ate cabbage and drank ice water and would have conquered the world on this<br />
brew if Helga a Jew hadn't come along and introduced them to beer. <br />
<br /><br />
yeah. right. so much for universal collective unconscious and records of ancient reality. <br />
(an occasional psychic stamp of some events on a location, which is probably what those<br />
hauntings that do not interact with the viewer and seem to replay events every time seen <br />
would be, is not akashic records as proposed.)<br />
<br /><br />
The collctive unconscious is a fraud, the product of a fraud. Famously, Jung was treating<br />
some girl who had dreams consisting of ancient false gods including hindu. Supposedly<br />
she could only have gotten this by tapping into the collective unconscious. OOPS! she was<br />
the daughter of a scholar in all this with a library for her to wallow in. that gal was NOT A<br />
BLANK SLATE. Jung knew this. Jung lied.<br />
<br /><br />
But I digress.<br />
<br /><br />
Years ago I stumbled on some mention of ancient Egyptians processing gold out of <br />
gold mining slag, when the easily gotten gold was used up and they were after trace<br />
amounts. <em>My guess is that the whole alchemy nonsense was the result of some lackey</em><br />
<em>seeing this, and jumping to the wrong conclusion.</em><br />
<br /><br />
I read the <em>Turba Philosophorum</em> decades ago, probably in the 1980s. All the different<br />
lectures in it contradict each other. There is one commonality among them.<br />
<br /><br />
<em>Alchemy is a process, of taking something, breaking it into its constituent parts, </em><br />
<em>doing things to these parts or in some cases to only some of them, and then </em><br />
<em>putting the parts back together to make something totally different than what you</em><br />
<em>started with.</em><br />
<br /><br />
some similarities to cooking of the more complex sort are obvious. And once you get<br />
the gist of this process, you can start applying it to social manipulation and even <br />
pedagogy and whatnot. But that doesn't mean that that is what it was always about.<br />
<br /><br />
The failure of alchemists to make gold is legendary. less well known are some <br />
apparent successes, which may be nothing more than developing a good counterfeit<br />
to gold, that by weight (from the lead part) and temperature tolerances (from some<br />
alloying) would pass assay of the medieval sort. In one case in one of the German<br />
kingdoms, a king ordered all alchemic gold items turned in for reimbursement, no<br />
questions asked. a shield or a plate of such was in a museum whether it was ever<br />
tested I don't know. Clearly someone succeeded on a massive basis and the king<br />
wanted this stuff off the streets. probably because it was fraudulent.<br />
<br /><br />
Alchemists developed many herbal and chemical mix medicines, and Paracelsus'<br />
remedy for syphilis and other things was essentially an early experiment in <br />
chemotherapy.<br />
<br /><br />
But I digress.<br />
<br /><br />
the failure as I said was legendary, and a cartoon in an old history book I had<br />
in Palo Alto High School (or was it Jordan Jr. High?) was a single square, with<br />
the recurring character Hy Story now done up in wizard gear and chemical equipment<br />
on the table and the landlord is telling him "and if the rent isn't paid by tomorrow you<br />
can go make gold somewhere else."<br />
<br /><br />
so now suddenly you have all this "spiritual alchemy" garbage. while it is not <br />
exactly garbage to say you can apply alchemic procedures on society and individuals<br />
economically and psychologically, it IS garbage to say that that is all that alchemy<br />
was ever about. <br />
<br /><br />
with the failure of alchemy physically, the search to explain the alchemy and hermetic<br />
reputation for wisdom and to preserve that reputation so you could keep your mystic<br />
reverie and sense of awe and wonder going and maybe pocket some cash was on. <br />
<br /><br />
Some clever bastards may have applied alchemic procedure to non physical mental<br />
and social issues as an extrapolation, but that grew OUT of alchemy, the chemical<br />
efforts were not a decay FROM it or a misinterpretation of it. <br />

<br />
<br />
aha, you admit your idea of forgiveness means surrender to evil. you mention "the right to 'not be harmed.'"<br />
and this in context of the risk of losing sanity and coming under evil spirit influence.<br />
you are a new ager of<br />
the worst sort, that perverts the words of Christ, twisting the Scriptures to your own and possibly others' <br />
destruction (2 Peter 3:16b) we are not called to do this kind of forgiveness you demand, but to "save yourselves<br />
from this untoward generation" Acts 2:40 <br />
MAY GOD SMITE YOU YOU FOUL WHITED SEPULCHRE SOFTLY SPEWING THE POISON OF SATAN<br />
TO LURE GOD'S CHILDREN BACK INTO STRIKING RANGE OF HARM THEY ESCAPED.<br />
God damn you to hell. and rescue all those you've sent back into the hands of pedophiles, rapists, hypnotizers,<br />
corrupters, seducers, abusers of the children and animals that they need to protect and you would keep them<br />
from being able to do so because they have to "forgive" not to mention the cultists and slow persuaders away<br />
from the faith of Christ.<br />
<br />
<br />
ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM FOLLOWS.<br />
<br />
<br />
unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness are not biblical. you won't find it in the Bible<br />
only in twisted exegeses that are really eisegesis, reading things into the Bible that aren't there. <br />
cherry picking a verse here and there and exalting something out of all proportion to its role <br />
in the Bible and you won't find it in the behavior exhibited by The Fathers when confronted with pretend repentance,<br />
such as when St. Athanasius refused to admit Arius to communion recognizing his fraud in <br />
pretending to renounce his heresy. <br />
<br />
<br />
Jesus said to resist not evil but what context? immediately follows turn the other cheek if someone<br />
smites you on your cheek. okay, so what kind of smiting? it must be something leaving you in <br />
a position to turn the other cheek, i.e., conscious, not stunned, standing upright, alive. in other <br />
words, a slap in the face. this is not evil with a capital E. <br />
<br />
<br />
Jesus said to the Father to forgive His crucifiers because they did not know what they did. That<br />
however is usually not the case regarding people who do serious harming and are often <br />
psychopathic. Prior to the verses about forgiving seventy times seven, IMMEDIATELY PRIOR,<br />
is Matthew 18:15-17 which describes a process of private confrontation on an issue, and the<br />
problem person won't "hear" you. then you take a couple of witnesses for the next confrontation<br />
to establish who said what so no one of you can lie about the other. If the problem person still<br />
won't "hear" you, take it to the congregation. and if still the problem person won't "hear" you<br />
"let him be to thee as a heathen man and a publican." In other words, total ostracization. act<br />
like he or she doesn't even exist. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is falsely handled by people like Tom Horn and/or Chuck Missler I forget which I think it<br />
was Tom Horn, who argue that no one should publicly criticize a minister of God on a blog <br />
post but talk privately to him. Well, that criticized person made their problem statements <br />
publicly, and it is not a relationship that is at issue but the false teaching that others influenced<br />
by it need to hear the refutation of. and warnng against the false teacher. St. Paul said to <br />
publicly rebuke evil doers before all so the others will fear and named names on two occasions. <br />
One of which was Alexander the Coppersmith, who was denounced for two things: doing <br />
much harm to Paul personally, and greatly resisting the Gospel. <br />
<br />
<br />
Some situations are so dangerous that you need to short circuit the process and just get out of<br />
there.<br />
<br />
<br />
And when one is susceptible for whatever reason, the situation is dangerous. <br />
<br />
<br />
unconditional this and that is how evangelicalism following the fads of writers not the word of<br />
God and not searching the Scriptures like the Bereans did has decayed into the mess it is now.<br />
From an Orthodox perspective, Protestantism in general has problems. but this is bad by any<br />
standard, and in Roman Catholicism and even in Orthodoxy you find this same poison. It <br />
facilitates the worst crimes against children, the worst heresies and covering it all up. <br />
<br />
<br />
in Orthodoxy, the problem is that instead of some Bible verses out of context we have writings<br />
of monastics, which are sometimes over the top. the context not only of the words but of the<br />
writer should be kept in mind, which show THESE ARE NOT APPROPRIATE OUTSIDE <br />
OF A MONASTERY. Church canons against certain behaviors apply in the world (the rest<br />
of the church living around marriage and business and whatnot things of the world) and in <br />
monasteries, so that means you have to take some action involving denunciation and getting<br />
some prosecution done. In monastery incidents there are cases of people being thrown out.<br />
<br />
<br />
The sort of things we are not to take note of are the sort of petty nonsense people kill over<br />
or start family feuds lasting generations. Typical in Middle Eastern and supposedly Orthodox<br />
Balkan cultures. <br />
<br />
<br />
The second problem is the problem of pride. the monastery is targeting this above most<br />
else, since the other sins lust and gluttony are ruled out by the lifestyle though homosexuality<br />
occasionally becomes a problem. <br />
<br />
<br />
Pride and vainglory can operate, poisoning ANY virtue like with the Pharisee who was<br />
proud of all his virtue which ruined the value of that virtue in God's eyes, compared to <br />
the sinner publican who was sorrowful and ashamed and repentant. And pride can <br />
definitely ruin the virtue of condemning evil and exposing it because you can feel very<br />
holy, virtuous and worthy of all glory and honor and praise. <br />
<br />
<br />
That is the context in which Desert Fathers statements were made, that are prostituted to<br />
the coddling of evil in RC and Orthodoxy. <br />
<br />
<br />
the problem is inappropriate application of Scripture or of monastic examples. whence<br />
the problem? the evil one throws the mind into a sharp focus on something out of <br />
context. someone who is well intentioned gets obsessed. Also a person who is not <br />
well intentioned at all, knowingly twists and misapplies Scripture and elders' words.<br />
<br />
<br />
A classic example of Scripture twisting is a Talmudic decision regarding the rule that<br />
one shall not be killed for their children's sake or the children for the fathers' sake but<br />
each die for his own sin. This is obviously against killing family members of a <br />
condemned person. And this law was cited in Kings or Chronicles to explain why when<br />
a man was killed for the murder of the king whose son ordered the murderer's death<br />
the murderer's family was not killed. Obviously this common sense meaning was the<br />
interpretation in those days.<br />
<br />
<br />
But in the Talmud somewhere we read that it was held to mean that a son couldn't<br />
testify against his father (or daughter couldn't either). that would be a case of someone<br />
dying on account of his children. OBVIOUSLY THIS MAKES PROSECUTION FOR<br />
INCEST, OR FOR PROSTITUTING YOUR DAUGHTER, or anything else prohibited<br />
for a parent to do to the kid impossible. I can only wonder what the rabbi who came<br />
up with this one was into himself. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
In <em>Christ or Therapy</em> by E.S Williams, unconditional love is described as luciferic since it is<br />
amoral in fact antimoral. unconditional forgiveness is denounced in the next chapter.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't buy the rejection of therapy entirely or the rejection of psychiatric drugs, but then<br />
some people surrender themselves to any authority easily and others pick and choose. <br />
<br />
<br />
amazon kindle gives you a chance to read some of this. <br />
<br />
<br />
And the NEw AGe scene is big on this unconditional and non judgemental stuff. that should<br />
tell you something right there.<br />

<br /><br />
I was wrong. this was from public info with Wikipedia etc., accurate enough depending<br />
on what was given them. Brandenburg's information on the isotope in question leaked<br />
to him but was classified nuclear weapons info. The reactions to the initial statements he<br />
made to such people showed he was onto something.<br />
<br /><br />
<a href="http://politicallyunclassifiable.blogspot.com/2016/06/must-see-planet-mars-has-something.html">http://politicallyunclassifiable.blogspot.com/2016/06/must-see-planet-mars-has-something.html</a><br />
<br />
<br />
one of the biggest potential blows to the NEw Age worldview or "paradigm" is the <br />
conditions on Mars if NASA admitted to them. They can't hide all of it however. <br />
The Face, even in the later view, is clearly artificial. the later view or "cat box" shows the<br />
two slots on top that are the eyes, the line that is the nose the line that is the mouth,<br />
and a collapsed look on one side. Surrounding it is a sharp edge that looks like the <br />
base of a monument. <br />
<br />
<br />
Another big thing with New Age is that aliens are good and "spiritual." this is strictly<br />
from channeled sources, which should always be ignored. The remaining info sources<br />
are the Nordic looking aliens that Adamski and others (all of whom had Nazi <br />
connections) claimed to have met. <br />
<br />
<br />
THE SOURCES TO PAY ATTENTION TO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE<br />
KIDNAPPED ON AND EXPERIMENTED ON AND EVEN BRED FROM BY<br />
ALIENS.<br />
<br />
<br />
many of these do not require hypnosis to remember it. others remember a lot but need<br />
hypnosis to remember the rest, especially when a nicey nice screen memory of good<br />
compassionate aliens is in play, and the hypnosis gets behind the screen memory to<br />
find horrific experiences and not so human looking people.<br />
<br />
<br />
Supposedly according to one dubious source, there is a "federation" out there and <br />
they don't allow weapons in space. LIARS ALWAYS SCREW UP AT SOME POINT<br />
IF THEY BLATHER ON ENOUGH, AND THESE PEOPLE SPOKE OF WARS<br />
CURRENTLY IN SPACE, SO CLEARLY THERE ARE WEAPONS OUT THERE.<br />
<br />
<br />
This wouldn't establish either side as good, just both as armed. <br />
Mars shows clear evidence of damage from a war. Brandenberg argues for a massive<br />
nuclear blast on the surface, but has the wrong isotope as indicator, however, such<br />
isotope scattering as exists seems to epicenter from a place <em>that has no crater, more</em><br />
<em>like an airblast, which rules out any natural nuclear reactor like in Gabon gone </em><br />
<em>runaway. too concentrated, not diluted like in Gabon.</em><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
<em>wreckage of war materiel and so forth exists, sharp edges of parts, etc. a few skulls.</em><br />
<em>some things so extreme NASA had to airbrush them to hide them, others could be</em><br />
<em>written off as odd shaped rocks. Far too many of such to be that.</em><br />
New Age generally views "humanity" as inherently good in the sense of not fallen, and<br />
the only evil is some individuals. Unity and high tech are supposedly good automatically.<br />
Joseph Farrell complains of the Tower of Babel moment where people had unity and<br />
it was destroyed and suggests aliens do this now and then to keep us from getting <br />
our act together as humanity. That there is no sin mentioned in Genesis regarding this<br />
tower as the reason for stopping it.<br />
<br />
<br />
that last is false.<br />
<br />
<br />
The sin was pride, vainglory, and rebellion. They wanted to make a name for <br />
themselves and stop the God ordained scattering on earth that was starting and rule<br />
over the perimeter scattered people. God observed that nothing they imagined would<br />
be impossible to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
So what is wrong with stopping this? It was a rescue both of the potential victims <br />
of the imperialism allowed later, and of the tower builders from being allowed to <br />
sin still more. <br />

From Constance Cumbey's blog:<br /><br /><ul>
<li>He is and throughout his political life has been one of the world's leading Globalists.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> It was Newt Gingrich who set up international networks of legislators to back each other politically in their separate countries [that's right -- COUNTRIES -- not STATES]. You can read all about it in Anne-Marie Slaughter's Princeton University Press book <i>A NEW WORLD ORDER. </i>Anne-Marie Slaughter served as Assistant Secretary of State under Hillary Clinton. If you already own the book or plan to acquire the book, turn to pages 113, 126, 130, and 294 to read up on Newt's career and joint projects with leaders in the Soviet Duma.</li>
<li>Newt Gingrich was from the beginning one of the primary backers of the World Trade Organization (W.T.O.); NAFTA (North American Free Trade Organization); and other globalist measures.</li>
<li>Newt Gingrich is an unabashed New Ager -- one whom I have carefully tracked since reading in one of Marilyn Ferguson's 1983 <i>Leading Edge Bulletin </i>about the "brave Georgia Congressman" (Newt Gingrich) who was doing so very much to advance their New Age agenda. Newt's New Age mentoring was, inter alia, by Alvin & Heidi Toffler and John Naisbitt.</li>
<li>Newt Gingrich's former Congressional campaign manager, Chip Kahn, stated in an 1983 magazine interview (Mother Jones, November 1984), that no matter no much good, he Chip Kahn did in the future, he could never do enough good to offset the evil he had helped unleash on the world by helping Newt Gingrich be elected to Congress. </li>

"And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, <br />
<br /><br />
"And DID ALL EAT THE SAME SPIRITUAL MEAT."<br />
<br /><br />
("Meat" in Elizabethan English means food of any kind, hence the term "flesh <br />
meats" in use by some to refer to food that is meat.)<br />
<br /><br />
this obviously refers to manna, which was physical, but was spiritual in that it<br />was supernatural. THEREFORE when Paul speaks of the resurrection body being <br />spiritual he does NOT mean non physical or reduced physicality, but supernatural,<br />and when he says that Jesus has become a life giving spirit does NOT mean that <br />The Resurrection wasn't bodily and physical or that Jesus eventually shed His<br />Body. More like He is now always in His Transfiguration mode like when He<br />appeared to John in Revelation.<br />
<br /><br />

Paul lectures on Hagar vs. Sarah Jerusalem below and Jerusalem above, is <br />
almost the only time. And this is to make a point to those who were making a<br />
big deal about Moses and so forth. Probably turned some argument of theirs<br />
against them.<br />
<br /><br />
The Law (meaning Torah of Moses) was a shadow of things to come, of Christ,<br />
Who now being here there is no use for the shadow. <br />
<br /><br />
<a href="http://the-red-thread.net/ephraim-manasseh-roles.html">http://the-red-thread.net/ephraim-manasseh-roles.html</a> shows a typical mishandling,<br />
and forgetting one's troubles and bad members of family doesn't point to forgetting<br />
holy things. notice he said forgetting his father's family, not his father, i.e., he forgot <br />
his brothers and what they did didn't weigh on his mind.<br />
<br /><br />
Ephraim's fruitfulness meaning is ascribed to USA and Canada, and then they <br />
really go off half cocked. <br />
<br /><br />
"<strong>The Hebrew word 'Amiyr' [Strong's #5995], which the name '</strong><b><st1:place><st1:country-region>America</st1:country-region></st1:place></b><st1:place><st1:country-region></st1:country-region></st1:place><st1:country-region></st1:country-region><b>' </b><br />

<b>fields as far as you can see...":</b><br />
<strong><br /></strong><br />
<strong>this is false. </strong>They grab a similar sounding word from an unrelated language to <br />
apply to America. so "sheaf of wheat" is irrelevant. <br />
<br /><br />
America is named from theexplorer Vespucci Amerigo, and Americus is the Latin<br />
form of his last name. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas#Etymology_and_naming">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas#Etymology_and_naming</a><br />

and it means "industrious leader" <a href="http://www.ourbabynamer.com/meaning-of-Americus.html">http://www.ourbabynamer.com/meaning-of-Americus.html</a><br />
