The New Age Movement

All one needs to do to realize that we live on a beautiful planet is to take a walk in the woods on a warm summer day, or watch the sun set on an autumn eve. From time to time each one of us realizes just what a wonderful place it is that we live.

So let's consider what we can do to make sure our planet will survive another 6000 years, with human habitation. What would be first on our agenda. Well, first of all we had better clean the place up, start some recycling projects and quit polluting the water and air. Second of all we should make sure that everyone learns how to listen and see each others point of view, weather we actually agree or not does not matter, but just considering everyones opinion is very important, because there are getting to be so many people in the world and the world is getting so small that we are beginning to get in each others way. Since there are getting to be so many people we had better start doing something about that, we have definitely multiplied and populated the world. Perhaps start figuring out how to stop having so many kids. Wouldn't it be nice if every child was wanted and therefore brought up right and cared for properly. While we're at it let's make sure that everyone has a say, weather they are a minority or a cult or a woman or gay or the color of the skin is different. Let's make sure we will have peace throughout the world get rid of all the nuclear weapons, and get some peace groups going to promote world peace. Since we all want peace, and the world is getting so small perhaps we should see what we could do to get rid of boarders. Then it would be much easier to travel from country to country. Now let's tie it up all together, to get these things under control we need to go one step further...Let's all have one mind, one goal, so the whole world can see what we are trying to do, so the whole world can pitch in and we can have our heaven on earth. Without God. If we can accomplish all these things on our own then what do we need God for? We can be god and build our own Babylon, and maybe this time He'll butt out and let us handle things like He should have the first time. Sure some people haven't caught on yet, some people are a little slow, are you recycling! Come on kid get with the flow here don't you care about earth? Some countries are a little backward, can't quite figure out peace yet. But we are patient, a new generation of kids is growing up, we've taken out prayer, we're condoning safe sex instead of abstinence, taken away the old values and are replacing them with ours, murder 5000 (in USA alone) babies a day via abortion, stirred up the women, the blacks, the gays, marriage is no longer sacred and half of them end up in divorce. Soon we will have all those ignorant minds doing and thinking the way they should. Then we will accomplish what we have set out to do, what we have been working on since the garden of eden, and the tower of Babel.

Now do you understand New Age? Now are you beginning to see how it works? Just imagine a world filled with peace, with complete acceptance of everyone no matter who they are, no matter what they do, no matter what they think. If someone wants to think like Hitler that's ok. Because many imperfect people got in his way to, actually it's all very simple. Just get rid of whoever does not decide to conform. If someone doesn't get their lazy behind out to the recycle curb every other week come rain or shine because they feel guilty for polluting then we will just start fining them fifty dollars every time they throw a can away. And eventually if they do not hook up to the world wide web (internet) so we can all know what they are writing about then we will just shut down the post office. If they do not get a credit card soon then we will get rid of checks and cash so they have to. Then we can introduce the mark because people steal cards, wouldn't it be great if your child were kidnapped or lost and when they were found the police could scan their hand containing a microchip (just like they are already doing with animals) and know exactly who that child belongs to. And if that doesn't convince them then they just will not be able to buy food or merchandise. Because we really need to start keeping track of all these people if there are not going to be any borders. And if any one gets too radical we will just have them beheaded. Because people who do not conform to the "New World Order" will just get in the way. But of course that will come latter after we have most of the people thinking like we do. And hopefully by then the rapture will have taken place and those kind of people will be gone.

So now you think I have totally blown everything out of proportion. That's ok! Got your attention anyway. When I mentioned Green Peace being part of new age thinking to someone, he jumped all over me! Now I had gone too far! They are doing good, who did I think I was! (Boy! And I didn't even know what Green Peace was! I was just repeating something I read!) Just like I jumped all over him the first time he told me people were saying Jesus was coming back pretty soon. Naturally I promptly informed him that people have been saying that for 2000 years. Who did they think they were, saying that stuff, hey I was a born again Christian, Baptist raised and the whole ball of wax, I would know about that kind of thing, even if my head was stuck in the sand. So Jesus may not show up for 50 years, maybe 100, maybe 1000, but what if it is tomorrow. Besides I could die tonight. At least my head is out of the sand.

"Our ultimate goal...is to help bring about that basic change in thinking known as `planetary consciousness'. (Mark Satin, New age Politics) They believe in a higher being (they call God) that is not a being but an energy gestalt, that can break itself down and rebuild itself. Its energy is so unbelievable that it forms all universes. Its energy is within and behind all universes, systems, and fields, it is aware of each sparrow that falls, for it is each sparrow that falls. "In a sense there is no such thing as God, God does not exist. And in another sense, there is nothing else but God-only God exisits...All is God. And because all is God, there is no God." (Jane Roberts) Therefore everything is divine, everything is God, including each individual human being. Since humanity is ignorant of its divinity New Age persons have introduced practices such as: altering consciousness, yoga, meditative chanting, contacting spirit guides, wearing of crystals, Ouija boards, Magic cards, dungeons and dragons, Nintendo, star track, UFO's, ESP, fanaticizing, channeling, awareness of inner self, levitation, mediums, occultism, the paranormal, PSI (ESP), psychic energy (enables people to do miracles), psychoanalyses, psychometry, right brain learning, Reincarnation, seances, self-realization, spiritualists, psyches with 900 numbers, tarot cards, telekinesis or psychokinesis, telepathy, tetragrams, theosophy, trances, Family Value systems, virtual reality, and visualization are a few. So that man can become aware of his inner being, to become god himself. The relationship of Jesus Christ to the New Age, "The Christ is not God, he is not coming as God.... He would rather that you didn't pray to him, but to God within you, which is also within him... He said it Himself. The kingdom of God is within you." (Mr. Creme)

The New age Cult is a revival of ancient occultism. It holds historical ties to Sumerian, Indian, Egyptian, Chaldean, Persian, and Babylonian, religious practices... Hinduism absorbs all religions systems, and Christianity excludes all others... The term "New Age movement" or "New Age Cult" is a fresh title, but, as Time magazine pointed out, the occult is nothing new: "So here we are in the New Age, a combination of spirituality and superstition, fad and farce, about which the only thing certain is that it is not new." (Dec,7,1987 p.62) (The New Age Cult, Martin)

"New Agers may differ over such questions as when the New age begins, whether it will be preceded by a worldwide cataclysm, how it will be politically structured,...who the true avatars...from the spirit world are. Nonetheless, they agree that they can hasten the new order that they all await by cooperating to influence developments in our culture' political, economic, social, and spiritual life." (Elliot Miller)

"One of the most important things that is happening is... networking... A lot of us are on Peacenet...There is a gathering awareness that we won't all have to be doing the same thing but we need to be knowing what each other is doing...I believe that awareness is finally hitting reality now, and is taking form. (Donald Keys and Willis Harman, 1986) (now internet)

There is the danger that Christians may develop a paranoia about anything appearing to be associated with the movement. But as the old joke says, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not really after you." (The New Age Cult, Martin)

"After you've gotten comfortable with your imagery, you may want to explore it further, searching for new ways to support your self-healing. You may want to meet your inner advisor...Meeting your inner adviser is simple... let yourself relax and go to your special inner place...allow an image to appear. Accept whatever image comes-whether or not it is familiar." (New Age Journal)

You are god in your universe. Werner Erhard, Founder of est.

Man is an emerging God...My plan my duty is to reveal to you a new way...which will permit the divine in man to shine forth. (Creme)

"If men and women have ultimately come up from amoebas, then they are ultimately on their way towards God".

...a mass transfiguration and empowerment of millions at once...a second coming through lifting our consciousness, transforming ourselves as Christ transformed himself...Such events are now being prepared. (Barbara Hubbard)

"Those who survive the shift will be a different type of people... The souls who helped to bring on the chaos of the present century will have passed into the spirit to rethink their attitudes...(rapture) Millions will survive and millions won't. Those that won't will go into the spirit state." (New Age leader Ruth Montgomery's spirit guides have told her this)

What is one to do, when in order to rule men, it is necessary to deceive them? For almost invariably the more simple, the more silly, and the more gross the phenomenon, the more likely is it to succeed." (Madame Blavatsky)

Have you a clue as to who is guiding these people? Non other than Satan himself. About two years ago I wrote an eight hundred page story about their perfect world as I listened to ENYA day after day. And when I finished it I realized that it would never work out because GOD DID NOT FIT and to have a perfect world GOD HAS TO FIT! With out God we are nothing but little pawns on Satans chess board.

So here we see that all around us the world is being prepared for Gods final rule. This is not something new. As we can see the preparation has been going on since the beginning of time. Today we see many bazaar things going on around us. But when we begin to understand what is taking place then we can begin to see that God is in control. We do not need to fear the things that happen in our world today, for God has always been in control, just as when He intervened at the tower of Babel. Satan has been working a long time to draw people away from God. Anything that draws people together away from God is Satan at work.

One cannot attack New Age, just as one cannot attack the many things Satan is up to. Satan is an Angel of light. He can show people good things too. But his end is only death and destruction. Attacking New Age is like saying money is not good. Who in their right mind does not want money. Money is not the bad thing. New Age is not the bad thing. It is the force behind these things that we need to be aware of. New Age is just Satans latest tactic, and since the concepts are good, then it is hard to understand there being any evil connected to it. The sad part is, is that we care, everyone cares about our planet and our childrens future. But as we can see the "Family values" that they teach are not our values. Their family values include not being prejudice about any type of relation ship. Whether it be within the marriage or out of the marriage. Whether it be female head of household or same sex marriages. This is not the way God taught us to live. Satan is in a way showing them something that living here on earth we have not yet come to understand. Matt 22:30 says that in the resurrection there will be no marriage. Here we see Satan attempting to destroy Gods plan of how marriage should be, so that we can have heaven on earth, under his terms, which leads to disease, heartache, and death. We see signs that say "just do it" just do what? These people see a perfect world. A wonderful place where there is no hate, wars, or persecution of any kind. They have been shown wonderful things. Given wonderful promises. They do not understand why everyone does not see it. To them it is so clear and so very simple. But they do not realize where these concepts are coming from. Since they only see good, and feel (a false sense of) peace they cannot understand that the rest of the world is not in on their idea. That the rest of the world can't see it, and is doing what ever way they take the things they are saying to do what ever they want with it.

We cannot fight New Age anymore than we fight anything else that Satan is up to. But we can be aware of what is going on in our world today. We can be instrumental in informing others what is going on. Show others that we as Christians do care. For another major New Age concept is that since the church has never offered true peace but vengeance and obedience from an all powerful demanding God that they have a better way. There are more than 1000 churches in the United States that are showing people a better way. But the ministers do not claim to know who God is. They do not know where they will spend eternity, or even if eternity is a reality. So they are doing the best they can to make our earth a better place to live in, showing people how to live.

God does care. God is in control. God will defeat Satan, because the Bible tells us exactly what will happen to Satan. So how do we help God in defeating Satan? By letting God work through us, by bringing people to God. By spreading His word about His Son Jesus. This is true victory in Christ.
