Divine Visitation

Multiple prominent new agers dramatically became Christians like St. Paul upon having an encounter with Jesus. Steve Bancarz and Doreen Virtue are examples of the abovementioned big shots who upon their change of minds went to the extent of publishing books to warn the lost sheep. Their divine visitation from the Savior was dependent on grace and their degree of alignment with Him.

Manly P. Hall prolifically highlights this supernatural experience in this book titled "What the Ancient Wisdom Expected From its Disciples." The adept has to be a high grade initiate to experience this but the new age ideologies bestow an elitist mindset upon the psyche of esotericists because they get the notion that what they know is just for the chosen few hence having being gassed up by pride, there's no room for God in them. Below is a paraphrased excerpt from that book which demystifies what is a divine visitation from the Savior:

The true Master never appears in public teaching large classes or groups concerning sacred exercises, but comes privately to their disciples and instruct each one individually. The ability to inform the disciple concerning the steps to be taken before his actual initiation is the result of the high degree of development reached by the Adept. None who is not an Adept can prescribe for the spiritual needs of students without assuming heavy Karmic responsibilities.

The disciple will probably be visited at night by his Teacher, who will come in a superphysical body. The student will feel certain that he is fully awake, and in the spiritual sense of the word he is, but he will recognize the Master only through superphysical vision. If he has not developed his spiritual nature by right living, right thinking, and right feeling during his probation as a student, he will be unable to recognize the Master when he comes.

When I am Weak, Then I am Strong

Adam was a master teacher who named all animals according to their nature. He gave the snake its name not only due to its beguiling wisdom which it exhibited when it tricked Eve, but also because of its sophistication, insight, and right discernment. A little-known fact is that the serpent uses its belly to sense an earthquake days before it occurs and it is out of right discernment that it maneuvers through its rocky habitat without ever being cut. After Eve took some of the forbidden fruits and ate them, she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate too. Consequently, Adam became guilty of ushering sin into the world because he sinned with eyes wide open, unlike Eve who was deceived. Sin brought death with it. Death spread to all men because all men have sinned [Rom 5:12]. Our condition is so desperate that, biblically speaking, we cannot overcome it alone [Jere 13:23]. There is no moral philosophy, mental exercise, or group therapy that can get rid of this sinful n...

The Dangers of Cults: The Dark Side of Religiosity

Religion can be powerful in people's lives, providing hope, comfort, and a sense of community. Whether it's the rituals and traditions of mainstream religion or the intense personal beliefs of those who follow more unconventional paths, religion can bring a great deal of meaning and purpose. However, there is a dark side to religion as well, particularly when it comes to cults. The recent news out of Kenya is a tragic reminder of the dangers of allowing ourselves to become caught up in a system of beliefs that leads to death. Reports of at least 103 people, including children, starving to death after following the instructions of their religious leader to embark on a fast to "meet Jesus" are disturbing. Cults are a manifestation of what happens when groupthink becomes too strong, and critical thinking takes a back seat. It starts with the charismatic leader and the promise of transformative and magical experiences, which leads to a group of followers who b...
