Esoteric Practices

[Original_Intent]

Starting a new thread for posting particularly helpful videos, articles, or posts. I hope others will join in. If this is not for you, please leave without comment. That is not to say I don't want any criticisms. But I don't want criticisms from those who completely reject this approach.

In other words, if you have thoughts critical of certain specific ideas, please, I want to hear from you.

If you are just going to blanket statement "This is dumb", "What does this have to do with Christ?" etc. just avoid this thread.

I found this very helpful to me this morning.

YHWH gives us knowledge as we keep His Torah / commandments. Not because we clean our penal gland. https://seekingyhwh.org/torah/

Our glands affecting the physical world is false. Our glands can and do affect our health, but the video is saying outside of that. https://seekingyhwh.org/resources/new-age/ In scriptures the bowels have to do with mercy which is a powerful thing when done correctly.

Getting the spiritual and the physical into alignment is an evil idea. YHWH will not give you what ever you want, He will give you the promises that He has given to those who keep His commandments / Torah and ask Him for it. It is Satan who teaches you can have what ever you want in this world.

Energy healing is false. Those who really have the high priesthood can heal with just their voice, no laying on hands needed. https://seekingyhwh.org/resources/priesthood/ https://seekingyhwh.org/2018/04/30/sealing-power/

We improve ourselves by coming under Yeshua's covering and becoming like Him by doing what He did, namely keeping His law / Torah. Quote:

A lot of Christians will say “what would Jesus do”. I believe a better saying is “what DID Jesus do”. If we don’t know what Jesus actually did and the reasons behind why He did them, we won’t have any clue what Jesus would do in this or that situation. Nor do we really know Jesus or understand Him or His ways. For if we really know Jesus and understand His ways, we would conduct ourselves like He did while He was tabernacled here on earth and do the things He did. I believe that includes celebrating Feastival of Lights, see John 10:22-23, and the appointed times, moadim (H4150), commanded in Leviticus 23. I promise you will gain deeper insights from the scriptures, and thus the gospel, as you study about the Feasts of God for all mankind found in Leviticus 23 and celebrate them.

Always being "positive" is ignoring the negative / what is wrong, and not fixing it. That is what the top evil people want you to do, instead doing what the scriptures teach to expose, to reprove and to correct.

You can not cause spiritual experiences, YHWH does. But if you want to force spiritual experiences Satan will give them to you. https://seekingyhwh.org/2023/10/06/a-word-of-caution/

Seeing the same truth through different paths is universalism which denies that Yeshua is the ONLY way.

Emptying your mind makes it easier for Satan / demons / evil people to deceive you into believing lies / wickedness because you are not testing what is being taught with YHWH's word / Torah.

Yeshua got his feathers ruffled in the NT. It seems they are saying they are better than Yeshua. https://seekingyhwh.org/scripture-study/2023-07-02/

Participate with the universe? I"ll pass, I'd rather work with the creator instead of the inanimate created.

Connected with existence is talking about connecting with yourself, which in the occult you are your own god instead of YHWH. https://seekingyhwh.org/resources/occult/ https://seekingyhwh.org/2021/12/20/snow-white/

I used to do Kundalini Yoga, it's bad, as all Yoga. I don't understand why the west thinks it so "spiritual" when the country it comes from, India, is a $#!% hole. To me this shows what Yoga will do.

YHWH words teaches us how to be like Him and how to behave [spirit], not to seek after spiritual experiences.

Yoga breathing techniques is designed to upon the "3rd eye" which is not a good thing to do. Those who do drugs and Yogi masters see the same things.

Accention is a occult teaching, where with YHWH there are no steps.

If this is not prosperity gospel writ large, I don't know what is.

Also, it is clear that your position is not one of pointing out flaws of details, but the entire concept is garbage to you. Which is fine. But you were asked not to participate in this thread with this perspective. There are plenty of other threads that you are welcome to spread your dogmatic approach, or start your own.

Just started the vid and noticed we’ve got the goddess holding the fiery serpents (seraphim) just like the ancient bas reliefs. I love it.

Sadly, you will run into those who think their very job is to guard the gates of Heaven, as if Heaven cannot defend itself. I assure you, it can.

So many use the face value of scriptures & teach it as such, keeping the door locked & not allowing others to enter. Jesus spoke well of this situation. For instance, many will say that kneeling in prayer shows respect or piety. Not really. When one cannot fast due to various reasons, by putting the head between the knees creates an onslaught of blood rushing to the brain to open greater doors. The ancients have used this technique when the situation requires it. In fasting, such as 3 days, most do not realize just how much blood flow is reverted away from the stomach to process food. By fasting or kneeling as noted, it increases the flow of blood to open spiritual doors to higher mind. You became much more aware. Think about it, such as a big holiday meal, when you eat much more than ordinary. For most, this massive amount of food processing robs the brain of blood, thus making one lethargic or very sleepy.

So, in saying that, pursue your studies, but learn where certain shortcuts are allowed & some are not. I am on trickle dial-up so I don't do videos online. But I did see that it was Rosicrucian tips. I have several friends who are Rosicrucian (AMORC). They have even allowed me into certain meetings & meditations, as well as OM/AUM toning. I do as Jesus did, I walk among all in life's various paths, as I am led by the Spirit.

The OM/AUM of the East, basically is the same as the Eckankar HU, as far as utilizing. These sounds, if reverberated correctly, tickle the pineal gland, awakening it. But make sure your heart and intentions are in the correct focus. Most do not realize that the pineal gland releases DMT (which some refer to, as the Spirit molecule) which in a sense, is psychedelic by a portion.

As to energy healing, Reiki is a good one. My second wife was a Reiki 3 Master Teacher. When we met she was a Level 2. Several members in our local congregation requested her, as she was very good. I can attest to that. She also worked not only on school teachers, but students that had injuries.

Most forget that there are many levels of healing, not just a lower one using a scalpel, and the highest level by the NAME. So many think it is only two levels, while that is absurd. Jesus used many levels, of which you read of, in Dolores Cannon's book- 'They Walked With Jesus'. His niece joined to assist & finally stayed at a leper colony to assist the people there.

Better to post in the Heretic sub-forum for this type of thing. I have removed access from multiple people for being intolerant and not respecting the purpose of that sub-forum.

This is not referring to prosperity gospel at all.

I was pointing out the wrongs of the whole things from scriptures.

You said not to just say it's garbage but to give constructive critisim, which is what I did.

I understand a bit the draw of this esoteric stuff. I think people find out, ummm, to be more accessible, more tangible in a way.

The thing is, they are derivatives of truth for our people with less light.
