New Spiritual Method Called 'The Secret' Promoted On Tv Has A Hidden Occult Link

As you have so fully detailed, over the centuries mankind has found various ways to reach into, up to, within, - our own selves in a way that somehow connects to God-power.

As a former martial arts/combat instructor (among other things) I found myself repeatedly questioned as to which of the various styles was the best.

My definition, after replying why I had chosen the styles I prefered to teach, was always: "the one you like the best and makes you the most effective".

As humans, I believe we are all "metaphysically wired" differently at birth and some things (karate, philosophy or beliefs) fit us more comfortably than others.

Thus I have become very tolerant of true belief in "goodness" regardless in what packaging it arrives. Islam is not an over-arching proponent of "goodness" (compared to violence and seeking death) so I have come to exempt it from my tolerance scale.

Last night on TV there was a program about a youngish man with a "superior/different" brain capability. He learned the Icelandic language (very difficult one) to a fluent level in ONE WEEK and was interviewed on an Icelandic TV program to test him.

This, like other matters we encounter, falls into the term of "supernatural" as it is outside the norms we encounter. The philosophical question is: does his religion or belief system create this status or does he create a belief in a higher being by showing there is more to things than we can explain without spiritul component? Even relatively common things like his human brain funtion.

Have a great week

It does have a political section which strongly mocks the war on terror and Bush. One of the women in it has publicly said 9/11 was part of Bush's idea.

There is no such passage on the DVD. There is a section where it describes how "anti-" anything protesters add energy to the things they oppose, and effort is better expended on being "pro-" the opposite.

After hearing that, yes, it's a complete scam.

It's very simple, and not necessarily even a spiritual concept -

-- Galatians 6:7 -- Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Philippians 4:8

However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9

Watch it again. She slams the war on terror and who do you think the "politician" is that "is getting all the attention" who "nobody wants"? Bush.

That woman is Ester Hicks, and I have audio of her saying the 9/11 was done by the government.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7

You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
- James 4:2-3

Great post. There is power available to us, many tap in to some of it in different ways and come to different conclusions. But there is only one truth.

[Vision]

That's a great one.

Although I think the "pleasures" are sinful. Abundance is preached all over the Bible.

Since these ads have been in comic books and offbeat magazines for over 50 years I will assume that this is posted as a joke rather than a warning. Lord knows the Rosicrucians are not on the verge of a world takeover which would be totally at odds with their professed beliefs in any case.

My point is that you can visualize all you want, but God holds both the rules of acquisition, as well as the veto pen.

Listen to what happened when the Israelites tried visualizing quail...

Then you shall say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the LORD, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat.
You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,
but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?”’”
- Numbers 11:18b-20

Only in the last qurter of the movie do yioou find out about Esther Hicks and the Abraham Collective. Esther Hicks was deleted out of DVD and did NOT appear on the Oprah Show.

[Mr. Jazzy]

More like a steaming pile of bravo sierra.

[Mr. Jazzy]

The secret is ... that I am NOT the father of Anne Nichole Smiths child!

[Vision]

I agree.

[redgolum]

Sounds like Gnosticism to me!

Or the latest Rick Warren book.

[TruthConquers]

Sad but true.
