The verse that comes to mind my friend is
Beware, lest any man spoil you with philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men, after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ.
Colossians 2:8
Since before I was born, there's been a growing movement that I was introduced to.
When I was a boy, my older sister had a sign on her bedroom door, "Do Not Disturb. Meditating"
This spurred my curiosity so I asked her what that was?
She told me how she does it and it starts with repeating her mantra over and over again.
I asked her what that was?
"Oh, I can't tell you. It's not permitted to tell anyone my mantra. It's a secret".
This only made me more curious.
After getting Mom's permission, She invited me to her TM Transcendental Meditation group that was led by disciples of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He popularized Meditation in the Western countries.
Spirits brought famous celebrities to connect with the Yogi and spread his philosophy and practice of meditation throughout the rest of the world.
Meditation was already a standard practice throughout the continents of Asia and India.
Why?
Meditation is the essential practice for "summoning gods" in the Hindu, Buddhist and other polytheistic religions.
I was taught at the series of classes that meditation was a scientific, "self help"* practice with a number of practical health benefits.
They couched the classes in technical terms while using a lot of metaphysical metaphors.
This makes it ideal for promoting it through
modern medicine since they both have that in common. People are persuaded that they are both scientifically based and have their application in reliable truth based results. They respect western gurus called physicians, who are unwittingly disciples of one of the wealthiest families in the world. This family established their religion in medical colleges. They mix some truth with lies and the outcome is the love for money and incredible wealth.
Since the West utterly trusts their Gurus of the metaphysical world of medicine and science so called, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was told by his spirit guide that he should return to America and promote TM in such a manner and with similar scientific, health care terminology.
The scores of Indian gurus who moved to the USA to spread Hinduism were rejected because of our Biblical Christian Baptist influences.
They did not become wealthy gaining followers, so they returned to India. When Maharishi did so, his spirit guide taught him how to become financially successful.
Guess what?
It worked!
The Maharishi's TM became the standard practice that gave the example for Hinduism "Christian" Mysticism all over the christianized world.
The guru started thousands of satellite groups, his own university, was embassador of Hinduism to major celebrities and political leaders. He got a scientific study or two published and persuaded the AMA and all the medical colleges to promote it. Now the medical colleges throughout the West and their outgoing MDs are trained with Hinduism to inoculate their patients against Jesus Christ.
You will have a hard time finding a Dr tell you that is what happened, but that's the magic of this integrative religion. It adapted to the West and persuaded it was a good healthy option.
This is a perfect marriage with their Christless religion of science falsely so called, "health care". Chemicals/ drugs/
pharmakeia are not healing nutrients.
In regards to the practice of SO MUCH of modern medicine that people trust,
more than the Almighty Creator of scientific laws and health.
Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
Jesus Himself created us and designed us to receive of Him through creation, that which brings lasting health. Yet people are foolishly decided by stupid UN-"scientific" studies that chemicals are the solution, that meditations are the solutions.
God the Holy Spirit gave His Word to think about, to meditate upon!
Satanic demons like the one represented in the work of art above tell us to empty our minds and chant vain repetitions of demonic names.
I identify as the warrior, because I actually am one, holding the sword of the Spirit in hand cleaving usunder through his joints and marrow. I hate the devils of India that have been summoned to the shores of America!
Many of us have loved ones who became victims of the damned demons and I will continue to fight them until the Lord returns and casts them into the pit of Hell!
Back to the adolescent period of my personal experience with Meditation.
As the program progressed, we were groomed to take part in an elite initiation, that promised to make us healthier and better than others.
At the completion of the series, over a period of many weeks, the night had come for the initiation and completion of the Transcendental program.
We were to be given our own special mantra in the back room that had a sign. No entry was allowed. I thought it might be the office where money was kept.
Everything in the school was dead silent. Nobody was speaking ...out loud.
I was led by the hand by one of the teachers, much to my surprise to the door where entry was strictly forbidden. It was a mystery.
What was beyond in this forbidden area off limits to students?
Why did we have to go back here to receive the special word that we were told to never tell anyone, not even our parents?
As I entered, it was dark, expecting the teacher to turn on the light. It was lit only by candles placed close to objects upon the counters surrounding the room. My eyes needed time to adjust to the darkness. Smoke of Incense streamed up from the objects displayed eerily upon their platforms.
Around the dark chamber were statues that I did not want to look directly upon. I could not believe my eyes as I wondered why the teacher was teaching a science and this seemed so surreal.
I was led by the hand to one of the objects and told to kneel down on my knees before it for a secret ceremony.
It was a terrifying image with grotesque features like out of an H.P. Lovecraft story.
My teacher led me to begin the meditation. She told me that secret word to speak out loud over and over again for several minutes. Then I was to continue the word silently, bowing before the monstrous idol.
After the religious ceremony, I was released to return home.
That shook me so badly that I never returned. Nor could I speak if this to my parents.
The twisted horror of that encounter compelled me to look up the word at a later date. My research resulted in finding a record of the words used as mantras. Surprisingly, it was from Sanskrit, a dead written language of the Hindu religion, their bibles.
I discovered the word that I was given to chant repeatedly was the name of a demon!
I was taught how to summon a demon to become possessed and controlled.
This is Hinduism rebranded for westerners, called "christian" mysticism.
