The Occult, Chakras, and the Third Eye....

Come join all of these average people who sell you their books and services and offer you this special gift! You can see angels and talk to them! You can watch over your loved ones! You can learn things about the future! You can perform things that seem like magic! You can travel anywhere in the world and even to celestial bodies in space! Wow.. sounds like a lot of fun right? But this is all the work of the greatest angel of all... The _Fallen Angel_ ....and those angels that these "spiritual healers and psychics" contact are also fallen angels... also known as demons. The only difference between the angels of God and the fallen angels is that God's angels don't roam the Astral plane waiting to "help" people who chose to enter it. God sends his angels to his people and works through the good actions of real people in our physical world. Oh don't forget you can see fairies and speak to your dead relatives too... but all of what happens in the Astral plane is a deception, but the results are .. deadly real! The seductive temptation to gain access to the wonders of this fourth dimension by forcibly detaching your SOUL from the safety of your body is being encouraged by more and more people both openly as well as in simple hints, and seeds of information. For example, if you type in a search engine something like: real angels, talk with dead, learn my future, witchcraft or multiple other topics, all of them will talk about how life changing their special offer is, and how you can order it, download it or talk to an online help person right now! Some of these things are free, some cost money... ALL of them will explain eventually how to activate your third eye to enter into the astral plane, or how to use some other medium that accesses the Astral plane. ALL are deceptions to lure people into this! To do so is to deny Jesus Christ and the Power and Grace of the one True God. To open your "third eye" is to receive the Mark of the Beast! The bible warns MULTIPLE times about dealing with mysticism, and even with people who deal with mysticism! They are working with abominations! Demons that pretend to be Godlike and angelic!

Colossians 2:18: "Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshy mind, and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God."

Explanation: (Source: The MacArthur Study Bible)
"defrauding you. Paul warns the Colossians not to allow the false teachers to cheat or defraud them of their temporal blessings or eternal reward by luring them into irrational mysticism. self-abasement. Since the false teachers took great delight in it, their "self-abasement" was actually pride, which God hates (Pr 6:16,17). worship of the angels. The beginning of a heresy that was to plague the region around Colossae for several centuries and far beyond --a practice the Bible clearly prohibits (Mt 4:10; Rev 19:10; 22:8-9). visions he has seen. Like virtually all cults and false religions, the Colossian false teachers based their teaching on visions and revelations they had supposedly received. Their claims were false, since Jesus Christ is God's final and complete revelation to mankind (Heb 1:1,2) fleshy mind. This describes the unregenerate and is further defined in Eph 4:17-19.

I included the whole quote and the whole explanation here from the MacArthur Study Bible. If you don't have this study bible, it is an Extremely valuable resource to learn for yourself the teachings of the whole bible! Every single line is explained in great detail and you are given references to other verses in the bible that back up every explanation! You could spend endless hours simply reading a few verses and tracing back the supporting verses into other supporting verses into historical facts and stories learning amazing things about who God really is and how to become a good person.

Lets look at some of the popular entertainment out there now... Harry Potter... this series gets picked on by evangelical fanatics all the time. Well, he is making people more comfortable with occult ideas like ghosts and magic. It seems like fun fantasy stuff, and certainly it can be watched by billions of people and they don't all go out and start buying a wand and witchcraft books, but it plants a seed in their minds that these things are fun and cool and Okay... The Last Airbender - Another fun fantasy movie with awesome martial arts, but this boy has a mark ... On his forehead ... like this is cool and okay and also meditates and enters the spirit world to talk to a DRAGON and gain knowledge, wisdom, and guidance ... um .. from a dragon? Again, people can watch this and think it's kinda cool and not thing twice of it, but it plants an even deeper seed that it's Cool to gain psychic abilities and powers by opening your third eye and entering the astral plane... How about the cartoon Bleach? In this cartoon, a common boy can *see dead spirits* and is found to possess very strong *spiritual powers* when a *soul reaper* encounters him, knocks his own soul out of his body and gives him her own spiritual powers that she has been training and empowering within herself. ...Again, these very interesting "fictional" cartoons and family/adult movies are trying to soothe the general public into thinking that it's okay to enter the spirit world (or astral plane) and that this world is very much like our own world, and people we care about are in it, and that our only flaw is that we just might not be powerful enough to protect and care for our loved ones.

These ideas and teachings are all completely the opposite of Jesus Christ's teachings that true Christians are meant to follow. If you follow Jesus and love God and want to be pleasing to our True Creator, you would know deep in your heart that we can only follow God through our own faith, and by following the teachings of Jesus. Jesus teaches us to follow the commandments, to avoid all temptations of the flesh (lusting for wealth, power, fornication, adultery etc). To follow Jesus is to lead a selfless life, not a selfish one! Do not seek making yourself more powerful.. you will be lost to the evil snare of power and pride...

In the next several years, there will likely be an explosion of even more movies, books, videos, seminars, gatherings, and all other types of media that will deal with the occult and mysticism being okay. This includes: talking with spirits, talking with "angels", gaining spiritual powers of healing and sight without vision, locating wealth on the earth through dousing, traveling through the spirit realm to visit friends and loved ones, losing all fear of death, meditating to become more relaxed and stress free, listening to certain sound frequencies that vibrate at the exact frequency that activates your pineal gland (the seat of the soul, and location of the third eye chakra).. etc... All of these things are a huge movement that is controlled by a powerful source attempting to lure us all into his own realm, the Astral plane... where we will become vulnerable to this master deceiver's goals and plans for us. All of his wishes are in direct defiance to God's wishes...

You will also find millions of people who have been lured into opening their third eye, and are afraid, but want to be told it is okay. They will find passages from the bible to justify their actions to feel better about it, but they are fooling themselves. God wants to protect and save you! I myself didn't believe anything about souls or the devil, and I thought that there was only one single God and that all religions lead to Him. I didn't even think our soul was some separate entity that could separate from our bodies until I purchased a book that explained how to vibrate your soul to force it to leave your body. It also listed all of the amazing tempting benefits of doing this, and seemed like the most wonderful and amazing quiet secret a person could have... in the comfort of your own home while everyone else is sleeping! I tried to do this myself and felt quite confident when I managed to see the bright beehive light and heard the sound in my mind, and felt like I could lift my soul out of my body, but I was also skeptical and afraid, and thank God, I never did actually enter the astral plane! God protected me and showed me the true knowledge behind what this place truly is and to avoid it at all costs!

The bible warns that the path to the one True God is a very narrow path, and SO many people are being deceived into taking the wide path! This means that almost everyone around you probably believes that there really isn't a good or evil power, there is No God, or that no one religion is better than the others. I don't know what religion is the best one to join or follow, but I do know that if you personally don't read the bible, you are going to be deceived just like all of them! Please seek out Truth, and place it around yourself like a shield! Get a study bible and learn for yourself who all of the false prophets are, and what they are trying to deceive you into doing... If you get caught up in your worldly routines and habits and daily distractions, you won't know what path to follow to find God... If you give into these Occult people who promise you health, wisdom, happiness, and other "gifts and powers", you will surely be lured down the wrong path forever....
