Knowing the Time
About three hundred professors, teachers, monks and
ministers from twelve countries met at PLU for the sixth
International Conference for Buddhist Christian studies held
every four years. They traveled from as far away as
Australia, Korea, Sri Lanka and Belgium to study the theme,
"Buddhism, Christianity and Global Healing."
"It's really a dialogue," said Sallie King, a professor in
the Department of Philosophy and Religion at James Madison
University in Harrisonburg, VA. "You don't know if you're
going to find a common grand or disagreement. You don't know
where you're going to end up at the beginning of it."
For Irene Poon of Toronto who was raised a Christian and is
now training to be a Buddhist teacher, the morning
meditation was a way to "open my mind."
No Common Ground
Christianity's only authoritative textbook is the Holy
Bible; and with study how can a professing Christian fail to
heed the following text? Paul remonstrates:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for
what fellowshp hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And
what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord
hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel?" (2 Corintians 6:14-15)
The answer is, of course, NONE for certaily there is no
common ground that can be found in the gospel of the Kingdom
of God of Redemmption and Salvation as taught by Yahweh,
vis-ŕ-vis, the Buddhist doctrine, Nirvana, a euphoric
experience through transcendational meditation.
The Judeochristian Prophets
In the lexicon of the Judeochristianity prophets, God is an
impersonal force or eneergy; not the Lord God of the
Scriptures, the Creator of heaven and earth and all things
therin,including mankind.
Devotees of the Judeochristianity spirtuality have
unwittingly succumbed to the specious doctrine that God is
the transcendental reality of which the material universe
and man are only manifestations and tends to identify God
and man as one. Having ascended the slipery slopes of
Buddhim's pantheistic Nirvana, it becomes an easy path to
reach the Hindu Yoga; a beief in reincarnation, chanting to
dieties and communicating with the dead on the way up to
one's rightful place in the heavens.
According to Gopi Krishna, a world renowed Hindu mystic,
Kundalni Yoga is the force which will bring about the
evolution of a new superspecie.
In his book, Kundalini For the Judeochristian, he states,
"Kundalini is the divine power both in the individual and
collective sense."
"It is the controller of evolution that is raising mankind
from a speck of protoplasm, and slowly molding him into a
man-god amind all the uproar and unrest that charactrizes
our age to endow him with inner possessions and crown him
with a glory that is beyond our loftiest dreams."
Sri Chinmoy, another Eastern guru, moved to New York to
spirutalize the West. Since 1970 he has conducted the
meditations twice weekly at the United Nations. In Chinmoy's
own words, he has introduced the practice "Meditations into
the realm of mediation."
Three former Secretary Generals, U Thant, Kurt Waldheim and
Javier Perez DeCuellar, have all lauded his word: U Thant,
for intalling moral and spiritual values; Waldhem, for his
prayers of peace, "I know what you are doing for us, I can
feel it;" DeCuellar, for "truths and ideals which unite all
mankind."
In his book, Inner and Outer Peace, Sri Chinmoy emphasizes
the importance of transcendental meditation as an
evolutionary catalyst in man's quest for godhood.
"Meditation means the evolution of the body and soul. The
boy's ultimate evolution is transformation and perfection.
Sri Krishna meditated. He became God, the Love Divine. The
Buddha meditated. He became God the Compassion Divine. Now,
God wants you to become God, the Life Divine."
The Judeochristian spirituality of the Eastern mystics is
shown to be the very antithesis of Christianity. But leave
it to the Western mind to use their Mysticism to open up a
"Pandora's Bod" of evil doctrines that surely must be the
personification of the spirit of antichrist.
According to F. Astor Barnwell, a teacher and advisor with
the treasury and Economics Ministry of the Government of
Ontario in Canada, in his book called The Meaning of Christ
For Our Age,
"the real meaning of Christ for this age is that the second
coming of Jesus Christ to this earth is not a literal event
which will occur in the future."
"What the Bible is really talking about," he explains, is
that "the second coming is upon us now." The second coming,
he proposes, is actually a spiritual awakening which can be
activated by the practice of Kundalini Yoga, which allows
mankind to realize the dormant God nature within.
"At no time in history has the need been greater," he
repeats over and over again. On the back cover of his book,
he concludes:
"We stand at the threshold of a Judeochristianity. Our
destiny demands that we survive an advantage to a higher
consciousness."
Where Are Yahweh's Watchmen?
Secular Humanism (judeochristianity) and the apostate
modern-day church of the Laodiceans have left many credul0us
souls bereft of defenses under the charisma of the New Age
prophets. This is because the so-called (c)hristians will
not study, for they are far too lazy and cannot read well
enough to do so. Yet many among the faithful who proclaim
the Gospel (Good News of the Kingdom of God is at hand) of
the Kingdom of God are scarcely aware of the inroads being
made by the New Age Evangelists. Even as His witnesses, many
are failing to heed Yahweh's Command:
"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them
warning from me." (Ezekiel 3:17)
For many years now, news reports of the New Age religious
phenomenon should serve as alert signals warning of the
deepen8ing apostasy throughout Western Christendom. All this
is because our traitorous leaders are allowing all sorts of
misfits, and aliens to cross our borders bringing in their
false religions. And allowing them free reign to express
them while surpressing our own Christianity which is what
made America great in the beginning.
Reports such as the following reveal the impact of the New
Age Evangelists:
The Los Angeles "Whole Life Festival" held in October,
1987, featured over two hundred speakers; all committed to
making this generation aware of therapies or techniques
which supposedly elevate consciousness.
Paul Andrews, chairman and coordinator for this conference,
in an interview which was done for the film
documentarycalled "The Evolutiuon Conspiracy," made the
following comments regarding his perspective of where he
believed man was headed in the future:
"I think man is evolving to a higher state of awareness,
higher vibration, I believe that the New Age movement is
heading into the mainstream of American consciousness. And I
think that it is going to get there by exposure in the mass
media, the ideas, the concepts, the principles, the
psychology, the spirituality, the inner directed
goal-oriented drive and the people have to capture and be a
part of the higher self."
Paul Andrews defined what the term "Superconsciousness,"
often labeled "Christ consciousness," means to those who
believe that mankind is on the way to godhood.
"I believe that everyone has a Christ consciousness within
themselves, and all they need to do is go inside and realize
that and bring it forward, and be that Christ
consciousness." |
