Spirit Channelers: Doctrines of Devils

Recently I've been catching up on some of the New Age deceptions, specifically the channelers -- the current word for "medium" -- who are direct conduits for the devil's propaganda against God.

Why should this sort of thing bother me any more than any of the millions of other ways God is blasphemed and people are being led down the primrose path to their doom? I'm not really sure it does bother me more, exactly, but it has definitely been getting to me. Maybe there's something about the directness of the lies in this case, and seeing how some people eat them up. Partly it is seeing how pervasive such lies are becoming -- much of it is basic Postmodernism, which has already been undermining the fabric of society for decades. The channelers and their followers think undermining society is a very good thing of course -- "society" is specifically targeted by them as what is wrong with all of us, having "conditioned" us away from our true selves or something like that, into lies and "limitations." It's a major theme among them. Another VERY depressing thing is their aiming the lies at children in particular (oh that does make me cry) as the channelers think it's such a good thing if children aren't being "suppressed" -- which is their jaundiced view of social training.

It makes me feel my weakness as a Christian -- again (so what else is new?) Why can't the church get its act together to seek the Lord with such zeal He might bring us revival in His power -- which is the only thing that could affect all this? Blogging isn't going to do it, the usual intellectualized sermons in the churches are certainly not going to do it, all the fair speeches in the world aren't going to do it, only the power of God can do it, and what a bunch of flabby sickly self-preoccupied Christians who have the "name but not the power" we are!! Not to mention that huge segments of what is popularly considered to be "the Church" aren't really the Church at all anyway, but are frankly apostate or so contaminated with this same postmodern influence they are useless.

1 Timothy 4: 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Continuing from where I left off in my last post: I've been listening to the video Tuning In: Spirit Channelers in America, and as usual finding a certain predictable collection of ideas that the spirits seem intent on propagating among people. It doesn't matter much what the particular demon source is, what spokesman promotes it, or what UFO it first came in on, they all have pretty much the same message they want to get across.

As I've been letting this stuff roll on it began to dawn on me that the focus of all of it is relentlessly on YOU YOU YOU, or ME ME ME. ALL the teaching is about how YOU YOU YOU can learn to make the most of your nature, in a sense, by tuning into what they call your "higher self." I tell you, it is absolutely relentless. I've listened to an awful lot of this by now and I haven't heard the mention of one single MORAL concern. The idea of a "higher self" kind of suggests maybe that higher self would be preoccupied with, oh, I don't know, doing good in the world perhaps. And I'm sure this is not neglected among those who follow such teachings, although I also am sure that the actualization of the higher self itself is supposed to do good in the world. But the fact is that in these teachings I've been hearing there hasn't been a single reference in that direction, just exhortations to follow your own desires, feelings, enthusiasms, excitements or similar terms as all this supposedly comes from your higher self and will eventually establish you IN that higher self. And this explicitly means ignoring and suppressing all concerns about repercussions -- indeed any MORAL concerns -- you might have about following your own inclinations.

The entire substance of all of it is how to be a better you, and this means getting rid of everything you've ever learned, all that stuff "society" has supposedly crammed down your throat -- it's all bad, don't you know, it's all, well -- LIMITING -- you must rid yourself of "limitations" if you want to learn to live from your higher self or something like that. Society has merely "conditioned" you in "limitations," restrictions and lies.

I shudder at the implications of this, the destructiveness that MUST be the result of this, in individual lives, in society as a whole. This is nothing but fallen human nature being given the green light to the max. Never in history that I know of has such a thing ever been promoted, and that means in ANY society, in ANY religion. Yes, a lot of this is taken from the Eastern religions, specifically Hinduism (and the miserable condition of that society ought to be a clue to its fruit) but this goes further even than those religions do.

Jer 17:9 ¶ The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?

And religion, oh, well, "religion" is the worst of all, just a pack of lies you were indoctrinated into.

Seems to me that so few people have been raised in Christianity in the West for so many decades this focus on debunking religion is pretty much irrelevant. Even I didn't get indoctrinated although I was sent to church as a child -- What little I'd learned I lost in my teens for a thirty-year stint as an atheist before God finally got hold of me. I didn't have a clue about the gospel until my mid-forties. But it does serve to point up how energetically the demons want to be sure no shred of the truth of God remains in anyone's head.

Oh, some of them want you to know that the old religions (they sometimes carefully include other religions but we know they really mean Christianity because none of the other religions is a threat to them, being part of the delusion they are promoting) --some, I say, want you to know that the old "religions" had SOME truth in them, but whatever bits of truth they contained are now being more fully revealed by these channeled beings, and so on and so forth.

For instance, God isn't a being, he's really your higher self, the higher self of all human beings, even in some versions all living things. So if you cultivate your higher self you will be in touch with God.

Pretty diabolical.

Propagandizing the human race is apparently their primary Mission, at least at this stage -- it's of course to be expected that they have an agenda for the future that requires many such propagandized people to make it possible. At one point in the video Tuning In, in which five or six channelers speak the demonic lies they are receiving, one of them raises the question how many "aware" ones are needed in order to have a general impact on the world consciousness with these teachings. I'd say we're already awash in this polluted "awareness" myself and it's only getting worse as the propagandized promote what is ultimately going to turn out to be a hideous anti-human agenda, an agenda the channelers and their followers couldn't possibly anticipate but will work blindly and enthusiastically to usher in once they are thoroughly indoctrinated in the sweetness-and-light propaganda.

As I said in the previous post, this video shows channelers treating their "work" as quite commonplace, with none of the old hocus pocus about it. They get these messages from demonic spirits and accept them utterly uncritically, apparently just because they come from spirits, blind to any danger to themselves or any possibility that they are being deceived. The fact that the messages from each all build on one another in general agreement must of course add to the illusion of truth they've all bought into. (Never seems to occur to people who are into this stuff that demons do their job on orders from the top and make an effort to be all on the same page in their separate missions with individual people. They most likely don't even have to be too careful since they have such a gullible uncritical audience).

For this to have become so commonplace is no doubt due to the groundwork laid over the centuries with individual after individual channeler, medium, seer, "prophet," avatar, guru, theosophist, witch or warlock, and of course the general breakdown of a stable society, as it does appear that they DO have to get permission, as they themselves admit, and the more people they succeed in deluding the more they get that permission -- granted by God, of course, whom they deny -- and the more permission they get the more of them can come in and the more people they can possess and the more the culture becomes polluted with their doctrines.

Are you an Extra-Terrestrial waking up to your Mission?

How is it possible for people to come to believe that human beings were originally extra-terrestrials? I've just found another version of this rather popular New Age idea. There seem to be many versions but they share many similarities. One version has "ancient astronauts" having come to this planet in ancient times to "seed" it with life including human beings, coming back in recent times to see how we're doing and offer us their superior wisdom for dealing with our problems.

This one I just became aware of addresses people as if they believe that they were originally extra-terrestrials themselves. Now the planet is "evolving" away from its problems and the awakening or awakened ones are being addressed by "Mission Control" concerning their mission, which supposedly they signed up for back when, although they've forgotten that as well as everything else about their origins. The mission involves "birthing" the planet "into the light," and "becoming your own Messiah."

The mission isn't all that clear to me, kind of rambles around a number of vaguely related concepts, nor am I able to digest the implication that ALL human beings are unawakened extra-terrestrials although only some are "evolving" or awakening to their mission. Not that it matters really. The whole thing is a fiction designed to lure vulnerable souls into some sort of demonic trap. There are always those who are flattered as the ones "in the know" in such a scenario as opposed to those outside, poor stupid unevolved unenlightened unawakened things, like Muggles. Obviously anyone who is attracted to this kind of story is someone they want to reach for purposes of deepening the indoctrination, the rest aren't accessible to them anyway.

Here is a video that apparently presents the gist of a book titled ET 101 that purports to be an instruction manual for people who have discovered they are really extra-terrestrials on a mission. It's written by Diana Luppi with an "entity" called Zoev Jho, who on one website I found she says is really just herself under another name, and "Mission Control." The book is described as having a lot of humor, which is unusual for this kind of thing. There is a bit of this in the video, but there are of course people who will find the whole thing laughable anyway.

Toward the end of the video there is a picture, with no explanation given, of a typical New-Age sort of mandala thing with a spiral in the middle, reminiscent both of the yin-yang symbol and two sixes intertwined (instead of the usual three), which reminds me of the Seoul Korea figure among other things. At the end of the video the reader is whimsically told to prepare for the Second Coming, because "you're it," and "you are the Second Coming." News to me of course and any of the rest of us who are waiting for Christ's soon return (or the Rapture, followed by the short-lived reign of the Antichrist whom the deluded will accept as the Christ).

Then goes on to say:

Mission Control does not wish to stay on this topic very long because we are aware of the charge that surrounds it due to 2,000 years of organized denial.

Hm. "Organized denial." Righto, poison the well any way you can. Wouldn't want to stay on this topic TOO long because the truth might penetrate the misty clouds in the head of some wannabe ET that Jesus Christ is coming back and blow the delusion to bits. The only "organized denial" here is this statement that implies our expectation of 2,000 years is false. Denial, anyway, whether "organized" or not.

For this reason we will give you only one more helpful hint: Become your own Messiah -- why wait?

Yeah, that's going to do you a LOT of good, to usurp the position of the true Messiah who alone has the power to save you from this very sort of lying demonic seduction with its sweet-sounding music and its pretty images.

Here's the website for ET 101. And here's its self-identifying statement:

“The Old World's systems are in collapse. Those who wish to continue in those systems will be graciously asked to leave, because their motivator, fear, is being relocated to another planet where its subdivisions are still welcome.

In fulfillment of Native American prophecies, intergalactic and interdimensional forces have gathered on this planet at this time to liberate her in the name of Spirit.

The Earth has elected to evolve beyond limitation; however, anyone who opts to explore that process further is free to do so — just not on this planet. Such people will be allowed to continue their experiments with limitation on some other piece of planetary property that is at a less advanced stage in its evolution.

This is the most critical moment of change in this planet's history, and your assistance in that change is vital.”

Get right to the point, don't they? If we don't agree with them, off with us! Who's in charge here? THEM! Whoever they are. THEY want to "liberate" "this planet" from US, it looks like to me. "The Earth has elected..." to evolve beyond "limitation." The Earth itself can "elect" something? Of course those of us who are addicted to "limitation," whatever that is -- us poor unevolved Muggle sorts you know -- and those of us who experience fear (of what? Them perhaps?) are no longer welcome here. But we are merely being "graciously asked" to leave, not forced -- so I recommend a rebellion. Prayer for starters.

Of course Christians in particular are targeted by such a devil-inspired message -- clearly there is no God in this scenario, just wise ones from outer space -- but there are countless others who aren't interested in their program either. Christians MIGHT be taken away in the Rapture -- I'm still not convinced one way or the other about this -- and that would require all these demonic entities and their human followers to have an explanation. So they could explain our disappearance as a necessary -- graciously requested -- relocation due to the fact that we are so much less "evolved" than this planet deserves.

There seem to be quite a few of these demon-inspired notions of taking some people off the planet going around these days, mostly in connection with this sort of New Age or UFO-inspired drama. Suggests that perhaps THEY believe in the Rapture, or are at least hedging their bets just in case. But what about the nonChristians who don't accept this demonic nonsense but won't be raptured? If anything like this scenario does start unfolding THEY are going to have plenty of fear, but they'll still be here although fear is supposed to be a disqualifier. (How clever of them to smear their opponents with the accusation of "fear.")

They have a handy Census Form so you can identify yourself according to your extraterrestrial level or something like that:

ET CENSUS FORM - English
1a. I AM:

An Extraterrestrial Master
A member of the Angelic Hosts
A Council, Federation, Alliance and/or Command member
An Interdimensional Adept, Master or Lord
A member of the Special Forces
A Group Soul posing as many human beings
All of the above
All of the above except
Other (please specify below)

Do note: They invite the person to identify as "I AM" in all caps, the name of God Himself. This is also a popular blasphemy these days. There is no God, it's just us -- and Them, whoever they are, but we know they are on our side, they are really the source of all the God ideas, but stupid people misidentified them, you know, us Muggle types, unevolved types, unawakened, unenlightened, whatever.

If you read on you will find a section of humorous comments on the claims of this website, apparently submitted by various readers, that they allow you to check -- in case you are of that turn of mind, meaning you aren't one of Them, who are the only ones they want to reach anyway:

Feel free to beam me up. There really isn’t any intelligent life down here.

This planet is in no shape for an evolutionary leap. It couldn’t even withstand an evolutionary hop, and I advise immediate reconsideration of the entire plan.

I don’t remember signing up for this mission. If I did, is there any such thing as a discharge? Dishonorable is fine with me.

I believe I have struck upon a better planetary transition plan which does not require my direct participation. Can we talk?

I live in Wilton, Connecticut and have mistaken my portfolio for my identity. Is there any possibility of me and my portfolio being restationed at this point?

It's very tempting to dismiss this sort of thing with humorous remarks (and they are cute, aren't they?), as just another crackpot delusion, but I have to say that there's enough of this out there now, and enough people who take it seriously, as well as Christian exposes on versions of it, that it's foolish just to dismiss it as a delusion. It IS a delusion but it's a demon-orchestrated delusion and demons are very real.

So all this must be part of the End Times drama the devil is setting up behind the scenes these days, trying out this and that perhaps, seeing what will float. The purpose has to be among other things to bring his demonic hordes onto the planet in huge numbers.

People ARE asleep about these things, including Christians who ought to know better.

The video says that "they" aren't permitted to invade, they must earn their right to alter this planet. Apparently they are succeeding. Simply gaining the consent of people they've deceived acts as an invitation and the conferring of the right they seek.

I have to assume that people can still be saved out of this kind of demonic delusion. Sometimes I just pray that people learn that "Whosoever calls on the Name of the LORD shall be saved." Of course they have to believe in that Name.

======================
Mon 4/18: Another New Age concept related to the above is the "walk-in." This is a term I encountered as far back as the 80s or maybe even 70s as people advertised themselves by it in New Age tabloids. After I became a Christian in the mid-eighties I recognized that there was only one way to understand it: demon-possessed people -- IF of course they weren't just pretending to be something they weren't.

I looked it up this morning and found a Wikipedia article on it that traces it to the Seth books that became cult favorites in the 70s, books that were "channeled" by spirits through Jane Roberts, and goes on to discuss many popular versions of the idea.

The whole thing is about demon possession, the channeling of the concept, the concept itself.

How did America get demon-possessed? There were always such phenomena in the West, though in isolated pockets for the most part, and the Wikipedia article mentions earlier versions of it. There was a rather large movement in the 19th century in the theosophists and other spiritualists which seem to have come out of the degeneration of Christianity in formerly Puritan New England, with their seances and sometimes a sort of Christianized spirit talk. Henry James' novel, The Bostonians, has such phenomena as the background for the feminist movement -- in the character of a girl whose "faith healer" father induces a trance in her and invites the "spirit" to come to her in order for her to speak her feminist message. James also wrote The Turn of the Screw which is frankly about demonic manifestations (only people who refuse to believe in such things could interpret it any other way) and was generally fascinated with this sort of theme.

I had an aunt who dabbled in versions of spiritualism, for a while very involved in the teachings of Edgar Cayce who was known as a healer -- no doubt in my mind that he heard from spirits; she was also interested in the earlier gurus who came to America, Swami Vivekananda for instance, Paramahansa Yogananda for instance, later got very involved in a spiritualist movement called Subud. She also loved the Antichrist poet, Khalil Gibran. She eventually became a born-again Christian. So I had some awareness of this sort of thing from her before I encountered it in other forms later.

It all seems to have multiplied enormously in the 70s. There was a massive influx of Eastern religions during that time, and religions with a shamanistic background which invites demon possession. Various channeled teachings became popular. Carlos Castaneda's Teachings of Don Juan became big then. The earlier Beatniks had embraced Buddhism and that was continuing to grow in popularity -- a friend of mine began to practice Zen during the 70s and went on to become a priestess. The Beatles had brought in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and his pseudo-scientific Transcendental Meditation, and two couples of my acquaintance went on to become TM adepts and leaders. Various other Hindu gurus had their followings.

This no doubt deserves a post of its own when I can get around to it.

Later: Adding This link for further pondering.

And one on earlier Hindu influences in America.

And here's Christian researcher Caryl Matrisciana on Eastern religions and the New Age. And here's another part of the same interview..

Ai yi yi yi yi: I wonder how many are involved in this sort of thing already? Here's a video of what seems to be a little club of channelers of messages from the spirit world, treating it as quite commonplace, none of the old spooky stuff or hocus pocus about it. They get these messages from demonic spirits and accept them utterly uncritically, apparently just because they come from spirits, blind to any danger to themselves or any possibility that they are being deceived. The Delusion just keeps growing and spreading.
