YOGA, TAI CHI & REIKI

The East seeks God in the self and seeks escape from the distractions of the outer world.

 

Yoga, Tai Chi and Reiki cannot be viewed as only being of benefit at the physical and emotional levels. Of their very nature, they draw a person into the spiritual realm.

"(These practices and techniques) rely not only on physical movement but engage a person in entering into an altered state of consciousness. Their powers derive from engagement with the spiritual world." _ Bishop Julian Porteous

 

When we "alter our state of consciousness" by practicing meditation and techniques linked to false eastern religions, we open our minds to demonic influences which can change our beliefs... and give us psychic powers common to Yoga, Tai Chi and Reiki.

And where do these psychic powers come from?

They come from the Devil.

 

“And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades
as an angel of light.”

(2 Corinthians 11:14)

Bethlehem, PA (2016) _ One night after a healing Mass, I noticed a young woman lying on the floor with a small group of people around her. When I saw her body shaking, I knew it was an evil spirit manifesting. I joined the group and attempted to drive out the evil spirit -- but what had worked in the past was not working here.

Finally... I turned to Jesus and asked for wisdom. He immediately answered, "Baptismal Promises." I spoke these words aloud, and the monsignor who was with us did the "Renewal of Baptismal Promises" with holy water. And this set the woman free.

After the deliverance, the woman told us that she had been a "Reiki Master." [Reiki is a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist (i.e., Reiki Master) can "channel energy" (i.e., demonic power) into the patient "by means of touch," to activate the natural healing processes of the body and restore physical and emotional well-being.] The practice of Reiki had to be renounced before the young woman could be delivered!

A Personal Renewal of Baptismal Promises
 

Through the Paschal Mystery I have been buried with Christ in Baptism, that I may walk with Him in newness of life. And so, I now renew the promises of holy Baptism, which I once renounced Satan and his works, and promised to serve God in the holy Catholic Church.

And so I declare:

- I renounce sin, so as to live in the freedom of the children of God.
- I renounce the lure of evil, so that sin may have no mastery over me.
- I renounce Satan, the author and prince of sin.
- I renounce Satan, and all his works.
- I renounce Satan, and all evil spirits.
- I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
- I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered death and was buried, rose again from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
- I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

May almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given me new birth by water and the Holy Spirit and bestowed on me forgiveness of my sins, keep me by his grace, in Christ Jesus our Lord, for eternal life.

AMEN.
(Sprinkle yourself with holy water.)

UFO DECEPTION

Fox Mulder’s Poster,

The X-Files (1993–2002)

From “The Coming Counterfeit”
By Mark Mallett

STARRY DECEPTION?

“I am not certain that we can ignore the increasing manifestation of ‘UFOs’ and the deception that may accompany this. There is a belief within the New Age that the mythology of the gods and the human race was ‘birthed’ from aliens… aliens who will return at some point to bring us into an age of peace and harmony. (Of course, this is nonsense.) One researcher estimates that there are six ‘sightings’ somewhere in the world every hour.” (This is not nonsense.)

“I agree with many other Christians that these (UFOs) are deceptions, but on a couple different levels. For one thing, in those who have been ‘abducted’ (by aliens -- which are demons), there is often left behind a ‘residue’ of after-effects which are very similar to demonic possession, including at times the smell of sulfur.”

[There are no aliens, and there is no extraterrestrial threat. As with “sleep paralysis,” the “alien abduction” experience is a demonic attack that can be abruptly stopped by crying out the Name, Jesus! (Philippians 2:9-11)]

“While there appears to be a demonic element to UFO abductions, there is also evidence that governments possess far more advanced technology than many realize. The ability to produce ‘anti-gravity’ effects has been proven, but never allowed to proliferate in the private sector: it could very well be that UFOs are, in fact, not driven by little green men from Mars, but the product of highly advanced earth technology. This is precisely the conclusion of some who have been involved in high levels of the New Age, but have converted to Christianity. It is also the conclusion of some brilliant scientists and inventors in our time who have been silenced or eliminated when their discoveries and inventions have ‘gone too far.’ Is a coordinated ‘UFO invasion’ possible? Yes, it’s possible… but not from aliens, rather, powerful people wielding powerful tools of manipulation (and control).

 REMEMBER THIS?

12/4/1985 _ U.S. President Ronald Reagan remarks to students and faculty @ Fallston High School, Fallston, Maryland ... 9/21/1987 _ President Reagan’s Address to The General Assembly @ The United Nations (UN), Manhattan, New York City, NY ... 5/4/1988 _ President Reagan’s Address to Members and Guests of National Strategy Forum @ Palmer House Hilton, Chicago, Illinois.

For those involved in Satanism (Freemasonry) and black magic (rituals), it is an Occultic rite to inform their victims, usually in veiled messages, of what they will be doing to them. For those with power and money (members of secret societies conspiring to establish a New World Order), it may often be done through the media in very non-implicating ways. Have the proliferation of Hollywood UFO movies where ‘aliens’ invade or attack or save the earth been a subtle way of projecting a message to the public under the guise of entertainment? (A form of Conditioning.)

Several years ago, I was having a reoccurring dream in which the stars would begin to spin… and then change into fleets of strange, droning aircraft. Some time after, in an instant, I was given to understand what this dream was, and it frightened me (more so because I thought it was crazy!) But now that I have come to understand that such technologies exist and have been witnessed by very credible people (who said the UFOs they saw were not aliens, but definitely man-made), it makes sense in the bigger picture. But it is still disturbing given the conditioning that we continue to see in the media for the public to accept these flying saucers as visitors from space. Can you imagine the panic…?

Considering how widespread is the world’s fascination with UFOs (a sign of the times), this is a deception we should keep in mind, for it may play a significant role in the larger deception that will seduce mankind. [Therefore, God is sending them a deceiving power so that they may believe the lie, that all who have not believed the truth but have approved wrongdoing may be condemned. (2 Thessalonians 11-12)] If you see UFOs appear over your cities some day, remember what was written here.”

NEW AGE

 

From an Exorcism / Deliverance Workshop
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary (10/25/2007)
 

“Ransomed From Darkness”

“Is your faith stronger than your fascination?”

 

 

“When you come into the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of the peoples there.

Let there not be found among you anyone who immolates his son or daughter in the fire, nor a fortune-teller, soothsayer, charmer, diviner, or caster of spells, nor one who consults ghosts and spirits or seeks oracles from the dead.

Anyone who does such things is an abomination to the LORD, and because of such abominations the LORD, your God, is driving these nations out of your way.” (Deuteronomy 18:9-12)

All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2116)

All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame Occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others -- even if this were for the sake of restoring their health -- are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2117)

Superstition is a departure from the worship that we give to the (One) True God. It is manifested in idolatry, as well as in various forms of divination and magic. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2138)

“I will sprinkle clean water upon you to cleanse you from all your impurities, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you, taking from your bodies your stony hearts and giving you natural hearts.

I will put My Spirit within you and make you live by My statutes, careful to observe My decrees.” (Ezekiel 36:25-27)

 

JESUS CHRIST

THE BEARER OF THE WATER OF LIFE

A Christian reflection

on the “New Age”

#4 _ NEW AGE AND CHRISTIAN FAITH IN CONTRAST:

The New Age which is dawning will be peopled by perfect, androgynous (hermaphroditic) beings who are totally in command of the cosmic laws of nature. [For example: biotechnology (engineering and manipulating the genetic makeup, the DNA, of organisms) and nanotechnology (engineering and controlling matter at the atomic level)] In this scenario, Christianity (and Christian morality) has to be eliminated and give way to a global religion (a religion of naturalism) and a (totalitarian) new world order.
