Thank you for registering to be an integral part of the community of those who desire knowledge and truth.
 
This fight is just beginning.  We are aware of the danger and the obstacles, since according to Ephesians 6:12 we are not dealing with human forces. 
 
Ephesians 6:12:  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 
 
However, engage in this battle, we must! 
 
Isaiah 13:2
 
Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.  
 
I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
 
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
 
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
 
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 

 
We can be comforted with Luke 10:19:
 
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
 
Our God is so good!  He doesn't promise that our journey will be easy, but He gives us something even better, the promise that He is with us every step of the way and the peace of His presence.
 
Thank you for all your encouraging comments and your prayers, they mean so much to us.
 
Remember:
 
One Way, One Path, One Savior

  Oprah's Soul Series
 How To Find Nirvana  
 
It's Not Over
 
Did you think it would end with the Eckhart Tolle series?  Not a chance, in fact, during the last class, Oprah advised that this was just the beginning and that Eckhart would be back in the fall.  As a matter of fact, he'll be back next week!  In the meantime, Oprah.com will continue to have sessions every Monday night, with the latest excerpts taken from Oprah's XM Radio interviews.   They have called it the Soul Series and this is how it is described on Oprah.com:  Each week on her XM Radio show, Oprah sits down with leading spiritual thinkers, teachers and authors to talk about matters of the soul, and shares insights into her own life. 
 
In this session with Jill Bolte Taylor, Oprah finds out how to reach "nirvana."
 As Seen On TV - Past Life Regression aka REINCARNATION
 
On  May 13, 2008  an entire audience was hypnotized on TV by Dr. Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Masters.  The audience stayed in this state of hypnosis for 45 minutes.   This show discussed "past life regression" aka REINCARNATION. 
 
According to Oprah.com, "one woman says she recalled how, in a previous life, she was a man who was murdered by someone while in a swamp. "I could feel blood running out and I could see my attacker and I was killed with a knife," she says. "It was okay because later I saw my dad who has passed and my sister who's passed."
 
Again, the Oprah camp needed to "quiet the mind" in order to bring these people into this state of being ready and willing to have their minds opened up to whatever was introduced to them.  Oprah.com says, "Dr. Weiss says hypnosis helps people access their past lives by focusing patients' concentration while their bodies are relaxed. "It stops the clutter, the everyday mind, from getting in the way," he says. "You go right to the subconscious."
 
As if to add an air of authenticity, they had the popular Dr. Oz participate in the session.  His reaction according to Oprah.com: "Dr. Oz says keeping an open mind is important. "I feel very strongly about that because this has so much wonderful healing potential,"  Dr. Oz says he does feel like there is a collective unconsciousness out there. "I actually in my heart think that all of our minds are connected and all of these minds in history are then reflected, and we're feeding into this energy system that we can tap into. It's like karma. You can bounce into it. It bounces you back," he says. "So what I really think we want to do is challenge people to the belief and understanding that life is not as real as it seems. There's other stuff out there."


Oprah advised us that she has had many lives.  According to Wikipedia, past life regression is where "therapists use a light hypnosis trance inductions to regress clients into apparent past lives. Some PLR therapists also use bridging techniques from a client's current life problem to bring past life stories to conscious awareness spontaneously."  

 
On Oprah.com, Dr. Weiss says, "heaven is all around us and that hell is "something that you don't experience after you die unless you expect it."


The Eye Roll Test: According to Dr. Weiss, Oprah's ability to roll her eyes back indicates an unusual ability to go deep into a hypnotic state.  An article in Time Magazine, Dec. 19, 1977, says that this test was invented by Dr. Herbert Spiegel.  The article quotes Speigel as saying that it is "a pivotal clinical sign" of how susceptible a person is to being hypnotized. Even more surprising, he says it is also a rough index of some basic personality traits, including suggestibility and gullibility."  "Spiegel has also found that eye roll is connected to personality. Though they can be very creative, they uncritically accept ideas, trends and leaders, and are strikingly childlike and gullible-in short, wide-eyed."

A Course In Miracles as taught by Marianne Wlliamson
 
 If you read the book, Don't Drink The Kool-Aid, you have some prior knowledge regarding Marianne Williamson and the fact that she is teaching a course online at Oprah.com that started January 1, 2008 (you take a lesson per day) and she also has a daily hour long program on Oprah's XM Radio Channel.
 
Marianne Williamson is the author of several bestsellers (thanks to Oprah), a new age teacher and guru, and the founder of the The Peace Alliance, whose goal is to establish a US Department of Peace.  
 
The stated goal of A Course In Miracles is to change how one thinks, to change one's belief system by subtle deception. The individual is for the most part unaware of the transformation he or she is undergoing because the Course utilizes Christian terminology. The Manual for Teachers, Volume Three, boldly says that "It cannot be too strongly emphasized that this course aims at a complete reversal of thought."
 
Marianne Williamson, her books and A Course In Miracles are just as bad, if not worse than Eckhart Tolles A New Earth.
 
 
Let's take at one of the most recent lessons (taken from Oprah.com):
 
  • Lesson 124:  Let me remember I am one with God. 

    We can fail in nothing. Everything we touch takes on a shining light that blesses and that heals. At one with God and with the universe we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with us.

    How holy are our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness within the mind at one with God and with itself. 

     For in these words we say as well that we are saved and healed; that we can save and heal accordingly. We have accepted, and we now would give. For we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the world is freed. As we deny our separation from our Father, it is healed along with us. 

    Sometime today, whenever it seems best, devote a half an hour to the thought that you are one with God. This is our first attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. 

    Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour will hold out to you, to look upon yourself. When you are ready you will find it there, within your mind and waiting to be found. You will remember then the thought to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no time was ever better spent.

    Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass, and understand the sinless light you see belongs to you; the loveliness you look on is your own. Count this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body's eyes to see. And yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand and comprehend and see.

    Add further jewels to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered you today, by hourly repeating to yourself:

    Let me remember I am one with God, at one with all my brothers and my Self, in everlasting holiness and peace.

Remember, this is yet another example of the teachings that Oprah is bringing to us. 

A Letter
We Got This Week 
CS -   I just finished your book. Again, excellent work!!!
 
As I read a lot of the "quotable" twisted jargon, it seems many folks are looking for someone to "adore" and "swoon" over since Elvis has left the building. It's not enough for Christians who are actually listening or reading that "propaganda to mess with their minds," they are bored, allowing the distraction of God to be the center of their Christian lives. Carnal to the Core Complacency. You nailed it!  The simplicity of Jesus Christ's message is far deeper when anyone chooses to immerse themselves in God's Word. It is a "Living" Word!
 
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior is only the first step....going beyond the cross is learning how to be a seasoned mature spirit filled Christian. Salvation is not the stopping point...it is just the beginning of the journey.  If I had someone to blame for why Christians or non-believers are searching...and "O" is not into blaming...I would dare say it is the severe lack of continuing education we as Christians have NOT supported for new Christians in truly mentoring a follow up learning process in God's Word, teaching the "Prey how to Pray" (one of my chapters), and/or truly understand how to praise God and how to worship God.
 
Church services can be so habit forming. Most members believe that's their ticket to heaven... walking down a aisle and professing to be saved, if they are or not...which places them on the membership roll. In time you can tell by the fruits of their spirit if they are as one with God. That membership or "goodness" does not get anyone to heaven.
 
My surmise is... as Christians need to work on helping others "Get back to God! Educating a nation is what we as Christians must pray to be activated, ill-regardless of the Presidential outcome. We don't need a revival...we need a renewal! Revival means doing the same play over and over again according to the dictionary. A renewal of faith is needed to pull the Bodies of Christ into the same accord under the same ONE true Almighty God, THE Creator of the Universe!
 
But I am preaching to the Koolaid Keeper. Keep up the great work! Keep your web site going!!! Keep blasting the message away. Let me know if I can help.
 
Thanks for the read....and thanks for reading!   Jesus First!
