Publishers rejected her, Christians attacked her: The deep faith of ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ author Madeleine L’Engle

It took 26 publisher rejections before Madeleine L’Engle could get “A Wrinkle in Time” into print in 1962. The book was an instant hit, winning the Newbery Medal the following year, but despite its wild success, L’Engle still had fierce critics — including a good number of them who disliked her book for faith reasons.

While L’Engle considered herself a devout Christian, and sprinkled the book with scriptural references, she was accused by some conservative Christians of promoting witchcraft and the occult — an accusation made later against “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling.

The religious wariness likely also contributed to some publishers’ rejection of the book, but it didn’t stop “A Wrinkle in Time” from being popular for more than 50 years after it was finally saw the light.

A Disney film adaptation of “A Wrinkle in Time,” which opens Thursday, stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine and Zach Galifianakis, and is directed by Ava DuVernay of “Selma.” In the story, 13-year-old Meg Murry, played in the film by Storm Reid, is guided by three angelic beings on a quest to find her father, a scientist who had gone missing.

Ouija Does It

By: Robert Berridge
In Issue: January/February 2012

Like a novelist, Norman Rockwell had a keen eye for small moments in ordinary life that signified broader trends. One such discovery occurred in the summer of 1919 when Rockwell, his wife Irene, and her family travelled to Potsdam, New York, to celebrate homecoming at Irene’s alma mater, Potsdam Normal School. In honor of his wife, Rockwell illustrated the cover for the special anniversary issue of the school’s alumni magazine—a gift popular with all of the attendees, especially Irene. For the first time, Rockwell felt like one of the family.

After the festivities, the family gathered at their summer camp a few miles away in Louisville Landing. Relaxing on the shoreline of the St. Lawrence River, conversations led to predictions about the future decade.

A spirited discussion followed, but soon Rockwell’s brother-in-law, Howard, and Irene’s father grew restless and invited Rockwell to walk with them. The three men eventually ended up at the town’s small dance hall, watching out-of-towners dance to the latest hits. As fascinating as the dancers were, several couples ringing the perimeter of the dance floor—sitting face-to-face, knee-to-knee and moving small heart-shaped objects (planchettes) on Ouija boards—were even more intriguing to Rockwell. Recalling their earlier conversation, the artist joked to Howard, “Maybe they can predict what the ’20s will bring.”

Nothing more was said about the matter, but six months later on February 3, 1920, Howard visited Rockwell in his New Rochelle studio to wish him happy birthday. Walking over to a couple of paintings resting on easels, he commented to Rockwell, “This looks like one of the couples using the Ouija board last summer.”

In fact, it was. The previous summer’s weekend celebration in Potsdam inspired the illustration “Ouija Board” featured on the May 1, 1920, cover of The Saturday Evening Post (above). Norman thought it was a trendy cover, perfect for the new decade, and used New York City models Betty Keough and Henry Von Bousen in the illustration.

Another canvas nearby featured a young couple looking at blueprints of a new house with a small child beside them. Howard asked, “Will this be the Rockwell family someday?”

“I don’t know,” the artist replied. “Do you have a Ouija board?”

The hidden origins of the hippie movement

The hidden origins of the hippie movement





BY *A**V*
--A YOUTHFUL VIEW--



See me, Feel me, Touch me, Heal me!


Many people ask "what were the origins of the hippie movement"?


Where did they come from?


To most people they seemed to come out of no where.


What was their tradition?


Did they revive any traditions?





These are questions often asked by historians.
Most assume that the whole hippie phenomenon simply grew out of the drug culture of the 60's.



Little do they know, that the culture the hippies created was not only envisioned by folkish and spiritual pan-Germanics in and out of Germany, but the very idea of growing a "Longhaired tribe" or an "Aryan Christ", a new race of Longhaired Aryans in tune with the forests and meadows activating the Christ-consciousness in all life, began with such German folkists as Carl Jung and Fidus, they already envisioned a nation of hippies!
-A nation of Longhaired Germanic nature worshiping Christs was the vision these German idealists had for the future Aryan Race.
The dawning of the 60's youth culture was an attempt to breed a community of Christ like Aryans, of which the very conceptions which the hippies adopted were identical to those of the German folkist movements and of the individuals who originated and believed in their vision.
So what traditions did the hippies reactivate?
They specifically activated the tradition of the Longhaired troubadours personified by the Merovingian's and similar illuminated peoples.
The hippies were in an effect a Merovingian youth.
So it seems that the mixture of Germanic blood and soil conscious, country living, -folkish movements mixed with the sensuality of the Franco-Hebrew influence gave birth to this Merovingian youth, which was a youth of musicians, artists-creators, poets, wizards, occultists, revolutionaries, spiritual reformers and idealistic dreamers of every type.
They created a "new order", by reviving the genuine order of eternity and sweeping away the old order of their parents.
So the 60's youth movement really did take that "Christ like" component within the various free-spirit movements of the Middle Ages to the German naturalists and Bohemian folkists of the 19century and create a 'new culture' of Aryan people where "every man looked like Jesus, and every woman looked like Mary, and they had their spirit"!
This was the birth of a new interpretation of the world.


The very ideas which the hippie movement adopted and gave new life to had their original resurrection among the folkish movements in Germany such as the Wandervogel and many others. Of which many got absorbed in the Nazi movement and the Hitler Yourth.
The interesting thing is that it was individuals such as Carl Jung that started the "Aryan Christ Movement".
He wished to breed a race of Christs in America. This new man would have perfect polarity between the divine male and the divine female, and would be at peace with nature. He hoped that this would stimulate the Christ like energies in nature and thus guide the evolution of life to it's next state of development.
Again, Long Hair would be a major source of this mystical power and connection, with the healing feminine and masculine forces in nature forming them into an androgynous whole.
Thus it was Germans like Fidus and Carl Jung who planted the seeds that would later grow into the hippie movement in the 1960's.



"Lichtgebet" ("Prayer To The Sun") by Fidus, 1913

While he regretted the militarization and thus de-Christification of the nazi government, he still saw the light in nazism and in Hilter, and many times praised the nazis in their fight against certain ills such as materialism, Judeo-anti-folkish institutions etc;
praising their liberation of nature.
Many of his supporters were sympathetic to Nazi Germany if not completely pro-Hitler.
Paticuarly Fidus wanted to raise an Aryan Youth of Longhaired mystics, wizards, and saviors. Their long hair would help them develop a mystical Christ like relationship with the planet.

Ehret later migrated to southern California and helped to spawn a new sub-culture in America, based upon his natural philosophy and lifestyle. His books have never been out of print in over 70 years.

So in a sense Abbie Hoffman, Timothy Leary and the whole of the psychedelic youth movement conspired to activate this "Christ gene", or "Christ consciousness" within the White masses of America, so that they could awaken the "Christ consciousness" in all creation.
Through marijuana, sex, and music they succeeded in liberating the gentle and energetic spirit of the American youth.
Through LSD, Eastern Religions and other exotic forms of enlightenment the leaders of the flower youth movement succeeded in opening the "cyclic understanding" of history and the nature of life to all who would tune in.
Timothy Leary and other agents of free spiritualism took after the German conspiracy of Aryan Christs that Carl Jung and many other German and American folkish societies and individuals such as Arnold Ehret, Maximillian Sikinger, Eden Abez, Hermann Hesse, Carl Jung, Isadora Duncan, D. H. Lawrence, Arnold Ehret, Franz Kafka, Adolf Just, Ernst Haeckel and so many more had envisioned.





Nature Boy, Maximillian Sikinger, at home in the Santa Monica Mountains, 1946. Max left Germany in 1935 then made his way to Southern California where he inspired many American kids to become "Nature Boys". By the 1960s, he was a regular fixture at pop festivals and concerts and was considered a guru to many Topanga hippies.
I think it interesting that Timothy Leary looked to Carl Jung as one of those who were "in tune", when the majority of civilized society was 'not'.
Hitler, the Wagnerian, was certainly a folkish person and embraced the ideals of the Wandervogel -free wandering spirits- and was in fact fighting for their very survival.
He was using violent Templars (the SA and especially the SS) to destroy the anti-natural world and pave the way for the future of free folkish communities in Germany.

In this essay by Gordon Kennedy & Kody Ryanon displayed at the website entitled "hippyland" explains the nature of the Wandervogel movement:



Wandervogel print from the local group in Darmstadt, 1911

"Wandervogel members, aged mainly between 14-18 years and spread to all parts of Germany eventually numbering 50,000. Part hobo and part medieval, they pooled their money, wore woolen capes, shorts and Tyrolean hats and took long hikes in the country where they sang their own versions of Goliardic songs and camped under primitive conditions. Both sexes swam nude together in the lakes and rivers and in their hometowns they established "nests" and "anti-homes", sometimes in ruined castles where they met to plan trips and play mandolins and guitars.



Wandervogel, 1926

Their short weekend trips became 3 to 4 weeks long journeys of hundreds of miles. Soon they were establishing permanent camps in the wild that were open to all. With no thought of pay, the bands worked at improving their campsites and building cabins for which they made the furniture-in all forming a complex of precedents underlying the youth-hostel movement which began in 1907 when Richard Schirmann opened the first hostel in Altena Germany.




Nudists worshipping the Sun, 1926

Mostly the Wandervogel sought communion with nature, with the ancient folk-spirit as embodied in the traditional peasant culture, and with one another. They developed a harmonious mystic resonance with their environment.
The expression "Lebensreform" (life-reform) was first used in 1896, and comprised various German social trends of the 19th and first half of the 20th century.




Elizabeth Dorr with some of her daughters at Ascona, 1905 (Note the headbands!)


Particularly:
1. vegetarianism
2. nudism
3. natural medicine
4. abstinence from alcohol
5. clothing reform
6. settlement movements
7. garden towns
8. soil reform
9. sexual reform
10. health food and economic reform
11. social reform
12. liberation for women, children and animals
13. communitarianism
14. cultural and religious reform: i.e. a religion or view of the world that gives weight to the feminine, maternal and natural traits of existence
Further south in Switzerland, Ascona was a little fishing village on the shore of Lake Maggiore, on the Swiss side of the border with Italy. In the year 1900 a counter-culture renaissance began and lasted until about 1920. Ascona became the focal point for all of Europe’s spiritual rebels.
Life experiments were in vogue: surrealism, modern dance, dada, Paganism, feminism, pacifism, psychoanalysis and nature cure. A few of the participants were Hermann Hesse, Carl Jung, Isadora Duncan, D.H. Lawrence, Arnold Ehret and Franz Kafka.

With his "lebensreform" philosophy, nudism and raw foods diet, he was one of the many German immigrants, who "invented" the hippie lifestyle more than half a century before the 1960s. He left Germany to avoid military service in 1906 at age 19, for a new life in America. (Photo Courtesy of Collection Palm Springs Desert Museum, Palm Springs, California)

At the turn of the century Germany had 56 million people, and had as many large cities as all of the rest of Europe combined. Industrialism, technology, pollution and "affluenza" began a crisis amongst the over-privileged German-speaking of that period. The disenchanted began to arrive in Ascona by the hundreds.
The beautiful natural setting inspired urban people to sunbathe in the nude, sleep outdoors, hike, swim and fast. This village quickly developed a universal reputation as a health center.
Hermann Hesse was excited when he saw four longhaired men with sandals walk through his village on their way to Ascona. He followed them, settled in and then took a nature cure for his alcoholism. The year was 1907.

These communities have been characterized by many as "rightwing hippie movements" because while they embraced nearly every hippy ideal, they were also German nationalists and believed in the power and beauty of racial purity as inseparable from their land, forest and water preservation ideals.
They felt that they were tied to the land by blood and soil, as this was the land where their ancestors dreamed and evolved.
Like the American Indians, they were tied to their land by spirit and by race.

Hitler was the most militant of the folkists, he was the only one who actually made an attempt to destroy the enemy of free spirit movements by force. In this process, he came to be perceived by many of these free spirited peoples as the opposite to their nature, but it seems that they instinctively understood that the struggle he was taking on had to be fought eventually.
One thing is for sure, if Hitler were around today he would be a leftist-libertarian of the "middle path".



He once said that his dream was for Germany and England to march together against America!
The hippies of the 1960's were much like those folkish communities in Germany, like the "Wandervogel" and similar movements.
For the youth to gain understanding of the secrets of the universe and of the Aryan soul is what many flower children of the psychedelic generation did, they understood that ancient reality and attempted to transform their world so it could again resemble that lost paradise.
The way in which the magical generation looked to transform the world is actually a fallen version of what Hitler wanted: For the youths of the world to rise up and inherit what is rightfully theirs, the world.
A nation of Artistic masters, wizards, poets and musical revolutionaries, this would be his elite and this is what happened to the youth of America in the 60's.
Certainly the people on the neo-nazi-skinhead mentality could never be members of the divine race which Hitler planned to re-create.
I doubt whether any neo-nazi-skinheads listen to the music of Richard Wagner and understand it's true significance for the New Age of the Aryan millennium.
No, Hitler would have greatly despised the degenerate nature of the skinhead movement and they could never be his children.
Hitler would have much rather hung out with young hippies than with skin-heads! Skin-heads are just the degenerate humanity that Hitler planned to rid the earth of!
Oh how they know not whom they worship!



Just as his critics today know not whom they put down!
Being a skin-head is not being a nazi anymore than it is being an Aryan.
The Nazi's used to shave the heads of their inferiors, ironically, to take away their self pride.
In all esoteric cultures such as the Long Haired Kings of the Merovingians, Cathars, Nazorenes and all manner of Nazirites, their long and beautiful hair was a major source of their mystical powers and charisma. From Noah to Jesus to the Cathars to the hippies, long hair on Aryans gave them occult powers and divine authority. Their beautiful hair was a signature of their divine inheritance and of their spiritual identity. The Nazi SS who were members of a warrior military order, as all the Hitler Youth, took every aspect of their superior being into praise, -their eyes and hair, as marks of their divinity, power and beauty which reflects the nature of the beings which inhabit higher realms of the dimensions of blue and white light. Jesus was a vegetarian, and so was his long lost brother Hitler! If Hitler had not been so misguided he could have been the New Age Messiah!
Though he chose the dark path in that life, he is STILL HERE.
HE HAS NOT GONE ANYWHERE.
He must have been rehabilitated to understand where he went wrong last time!
He is back and this time he is going to be a mixture beetween Adolf and Gandhi!
A real peace warrior!
This time we're going to judge everyone not by the color of their skin, but by the level of their intelligence and content of their character!
As he said: "One thing I can predict to the eaters of meat, THE WORLD OF THE FUTURE WILL BE VEGETARIAN!!!!!!!!"



Trust me--Hitler was way beyond The Ku Klux Klan ; they wouldn't have had much of a place in his new vision of the world. Hitler and John Lennon tapped into the same visions when they thought about the future of Christianity. When John Lennon said: "Christianity will go, it will vanish" "I am right and I will be proven right." -Which he followed by his famous saying " The Beatles are more popular than Jesus now" which received protests and death threats from the Ku Klux Klan and other Rightwing Christian groups in America. John was simply stating the truth. The truth was that kids were more enthusiastic about going to Beatle concerts than they were about going to Church. John Lennon could see that his charismatic musical religion was more popular than Christianity.



Hitler had the same effect, he could see that more kids were attending his rallies than church and you can even say that he became more popular than Jesus.
What John Lennon said could be put side by side with what Hitler said on the future of Christianity: " We are witnessing the final summersaults of Christianity, it will last another hundred years or so, then it will vanish." For Hitler was also witnessing, as John did, a new religion that would replace the Christian church. If you looked at a film of a Hitler rally and then looked at films of the early Beatle concerts and if someone didn't tell which was what, you would not be able to tell the difference.
Both had fanatical screaming and crying white girls with their heads in the air.
Many people remarked at this when the Beatles first hit the scene. -Many older people said that it was reminiscent of the early Nuremberg Rallies. In fact, when John himself returned to his hometown in Liverpool, while standing on a balcony, young kids were fanatically cheering so loudly he felt that the kids were acting like the early Hitler youth! -So much though that he gave the Hitler Salute, shouting "Sieg Heil" and putting his finger to his nose symbolizing the Hitler mustache and the kids just kept cheering !! The Beatles had become a sort of "Gods on earth" and had won the hearts and minds of the youth. This is partly what drove John Lennon to say that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus because, like Hitler 35 years earlier, it was true.
It was the Jewish-Leftist-Liberal, multi-cultural, "Old Roosevelt Democrats" who became political revolutionaries and who used the revolution that happened mostly among middle class whites in the sixties, because they felt the freedom and love that this generation generated. The hippy movement started to liberate everyone until the system beat them down and whacked all their early leaders from John and Robert F Kennedy to John Winston Lennon... The reactionary establishment then took advantage of the freedom fight that had been launched by this new generation to beat down Aryan culture.
Now the only cultures that survived are the diseased Redneck Puritan cultures, and the Jewish neo-cons.



Thus today, if you are not one of those two, and you are a kid, you have to bow down to the crazed negroes who have gotten too drunk with a false sense of power. I'm talking about "ghetto culture", or as black comedian Chris Rock calls it "nigger culture". And they hate whites who have not lost their identity. And this is why they hate anything to do with the sixties culture to the point where they now violently threaten the old whites who fought for their liberation from pigs because of their own moral conscience, only to get spat in face for it by arrogant black youth.
The Sixties movement was actually more racially identified than most people think, and the emerging hippies hated this materialistic society that beats up on everything natural, everything free, and everything Aryan.
They came back to give that evil American WWII generation hell once more, only this time instead of doing it with guns, they did it with music, art, and prophetic protests aimed at the whole capitalist system of the pig tribes. This was a war between the creative Aryans, and the destructive Pig peoples, as Abbie Hoffman called them: "culture-vultures".
The Hippy movement was an Aryan folkish rebellion against the post WWII Pigs who believed the world was their oyster to exploit. Many of those hypocrites did not even deserve to win WWII but ended up coming out looking like the good-guys because of the propaganda lies regarding atrocities which the axis powers were supposed to have committed. Atrocities which were part and parcel of any war and committed by all parties, axis and allies alike. Now they had inherited the world after that war. It was also the war that had gotten them out of economic depression, so they viewed war as a good thing and could not understand why their strange kids refused to fight for that bullshit system that they had believed in, because of their upbringing. The magical generation had different plans for the future, and were not gonna let the old generation get in their way. They were gonna lead and not follow -as Hitler said "let youth be lead by youth". The right to direct the future destiny of the nation is the right of youth and it is the duty of the young generation to overthrow a corrupt system build upon lies. The youth of Germany respected the revolutionary heroic leadership of Hitler and the nazi party. For the sixties generation their heroes were the musicians who spoke to them and instigated them to revolt! Jim Morrison sang: " lost in a Roman....wilderness of pain........and all the children are insane, ........waiting for the summer rain yea"... The British Kings came back to conquer America and enforce their culture on the natives, only this time the natives were Christian Pigs, and the British conquered America with Music. The British Kings like John Lennon, Pete Townsend, and many others came to settle their "old scores" with the despised Americans.




Hitler's greatest vision was that "one day Germany and Britain, would march together against America".
The German youth and many folkish movements were already being reincarnated in America, and their British Kings had come to liberate them.
Thus the youth of Germany and England came to re-conquer America, just as Hitler had dreamed!
The magical youth of the sixties planned on recreating the destiny that was taken from them.
This is what the psychedelic Atlantian Aryan youth of the sixties tried to do, and they believed in the power of love.
They were the first youth in the world to totally take charge of their nation, stop a war, and create a new culture in the history of mankind. The Aryan youth had suddenly become the saviors of the world! -As the black civil rights leader Dick Gregory once put it "all of a sudden the white race had produced a movement where every guy looked like Jesus, and every girl looked like Mary, and they acted like them and had their spirit!"
They had the Merovingian-Cathar spirit.
The movement was mostly middle class whites who looked more like they were from the European culture than from the puritan American culture. And the Jews who got caught up in it were all Jews who hated the 'Jewish system' and wanted to wash off their Jewish identity in the sink, reject the Old Testament vengeance and join the white Aryans who were changing the world through the philosophy of peace and free love. This was a folk movement that had it's roots in the German youth movements like the "free-wanderings-spirits" of the "Wandervogel," most of whom got caught up later in the Hitler youth. They both had the ideals of nature-worship, communalism, vegetarianism, nudism, and firm belief in the magical power of youth. The Hitler Youth slogan was--"let youth lead youth". In Hitler's Germany youth were even given power over their parents, to turn them in and to get them off their back. The hippy youth were of the same mindset, -that the youth had the right to to lead the future and if the elders couldn't "tune in" they had to "drop out". The hippies didn't care much about their parents or about the struggles they went through in the depression or WWII. They were of the past and now had to step aside and accept this new order. The Woodstock Nation was very natural. Most of them were whites and preferred to live and mate with other whites.



This California surfer and his girlfriend were some of the young folks who went to live wild in nature during the late 1960s and early '70s, mostly in California, Hawaii and parts of Europe. This most radical form of communalism was a replay of the Wandervogel and Naturmensch period some 60 years before in Germany and Switzerland (Taylor Park, Kauai, Hawaii, 1971)

It was an Aryan movement of nature worship and honor for the connection to the land. This is why they embraced the native American peoples because they understood better than anyone the religion of blood and soil and the need for folkish-socialist communities.



The hippie movement was by majority Anglo-Germanic and people of other races were drawn to it and intrigued by it, but they were never really part of it. The blacks, through the Black Panthers, were going to establish a separate black state for black people who wished to live separate from whites.
The north would be the Nation of Rock and Roll and would be predominantly white in identity because many hippy tribes were actually old Aryan tribes coming together to take over.
No wonder ghetto liberal youth culture today puts down the cultural revolution that looked to destroy the Zionist materialistic system that was oppressing them and that is now oppressing many artistic white-kid dreamers who want to change their world which they sense is full of LIES.
There is a saying about the 60's generation: "In the 60's all we wanted was love, now we want the truth!" That's the generation of the day but I still believe and I have many friends who agree with me and who are sure Hitler was an artist, a visionary, a prophet, and a conqueror! I believe in "Mein Kampf" he said that ever since he was a child he knew he would never be a civil servant, but rather an Artist!

The war between the Luciferic powers (fallen light) and Satanics (powers of this world) can be seen all through history.
The holy bloodline of the Pleadians which was inherited by Noah, passed down to David and remained in his descendants, who Yeshua Ben Yoseff and his brothers Judas and Jakob was born of and which was most likely passed down from members of Yeshua's family if not Yeshua himself, which made their magical appearance in the people of the Cathars, Merovingians and others. -Right down into our present days the spirit which was so strongly present in the hippie phenomenon and which was a reaction to a doomed world by the magical youth who discovered their powers and looked to transform the world to resemble heaven.




They were young and had no leaders to look up to besides the fallen Luciferic energies of the music they enjoyed, which I have enjoyed.
Therefore their revolution ended in failure, just like many others before it. (Nazorene, Cathar, Mareovingians--all "long haired kings").
They liberated and opened the cages which let out the many demons which are now at work on our planet.
Their revolution was crushed and their liberation used for the benefit of their enemies.
The freedom that they had shown the world has been used to further the dark agenda of the present enemies of the children of light.
Those of us who have a yearning to go beyond the limits of humanity feel so because of the intertwining of our blood relations with the various extraterrestrials who colonized this primitive planet and-or because the "star dust" which our souls are made of is still vibrating. We are some of the last remaining "children of light" on this doomed planet and our mission is to try to reverse the karma of those destructive elements which exist on this earth and effect us all. "WE ARE STARDUST, WE ARE GOLDEN and we've got to get ourselves back to the GARDEN! Yea!"

Thanks for hearing me out and always remember that the light remains throughout the centuries. Though it has taken many forms: Nazirites, Essenes, Merovingians, Cathars (all LongHaired Kings), the forces of which got caught and tangled in the chaos of a fallen Germany, and reacted like a tortured animal in the failed nazi experience, and then the fallen era of flower-power in the sixties when the children of the sun finally, after eons of oppression, exploded in unrealistic imaginations and psychedelic visions of the paradise that was lost.
Now we are back only this time we are going to learn from the experiences of all our previous incarnations and take what was good from them and build the new future.

Sieg Heil!

Walter Veith - (26) The UN & the Occult Agenda / Total Onslaught

In this video, the hidden agenda of the UN is clearly exposed. From its inception to its ultimate goal, the creation of a global religio-political system will have far-reaching consequences for every individual on Earth and possible catastrophic consequences for those who trust in salvation in Christ alone.

This presentation includes a look at Robert Mueller's school and philosophy, and how the cosmic christ and the United Nations go together.

....
.

Has Spiritualism changed?

It is true that spiritualism is now changing its form and, veiling some of its more objectionable features, is assuming a Christian guise. But its utterances from the platform and the press have been before the public for many years, and in these its real character stands revealed. These teachings cannot be denied or hidden.

Even in its present form, so far from being more worthy of toleration than formerly, it is really a more dangerous, because a more subtle, deception. While it formerly denounced Christ and the Bible, it now professes to accept both. But the Bible is interpreted in a manner that is pleasing to the unrenewed heart, while its solemn and vital truths are made of no effect. Love is dwelt upon as the chief attribute of God, but it is degraded to a weak sentimentalism, making little distinction between good and evil. God's justice, His denunciations of sin, the requirements of His holy law, are all kept out of sight. The people are taught to regard the Decalogue as a dead letter. Pleasing, bewitching fables captivate the senses and lead men to reject the Bible as the foundation of their faith. Christ is as verily denied as before; but Satan has so blinded the eyes of the people that the deception is not discerned.

There are few who have any just conception of the deceptive power of spiritualism and the danger of coming under its influence. Many tamper with it merely to gratify their curiosity. They have no real faith in it and would be filled with horror at the thought of yielding themselves to the spirits' control. But they venture upon the forbidden ground, and the mighty destroyer exercises his power upon them against their will. Let them once be induced to submit their minds to his direction, and he holds them captive. It is impossible, in their own strength, to break away from the bewitching, alluring spell. Nothing but the power of God, granted in answer to the earnest prayer of faith, can deliver these ensnared souls.

All who indulge sinful traits of character, or willfully cherish a known sin, are inviting the temptations of Satan.

They separate themselves from God and from the watchcare of His angels; as the evil one presents his deceptions, they are without defense and fall an easy prey. Those who thus place themselves in his power little realize where their course will end. Having achieved their overthrow, the tempter will employ them as his agents to lure others to ruin.

Says the prophet Isaiah: "When they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:19, 20. If men had been willing to receive the truth so plainly stated in the Scriptures concerning the nature of man and the state of the dead, they would see in the claims and manifestations of spiritualism the working of Satan with power and signs and lying wonders. But rather than yield the liberty so agreeable to the carnal heart, and renounce the sins which they love, multitudes close their eyes to the light and walk straight on, regardless of warnings, while Satan weaves his snares about them, and they become his prey. "Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved," therefore "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." 2 Thessalonians 2:10, 11.

Those who oppose the teachings of spiritualism are assailing, not men alone, but Satan and his angels. They have entered upon a contest against principalities and powers and wicked spirits in high places. Satan will not yield one inch of ground except as he is driven back by the power of heavenly messengers. The people of God should be able to meet him, as did our Saviour, with the words: "It is written." Satan can quote Scripture now as in the days of Christ, and he will pervert its teachings to sustain his delusions. Those who would stand in this time of peril must understand for themselves the testimony of the Scriptures.

As popular culture overflows with vampires and zombies, are we forgetting to be scared of evil?

By Thomas Fleming

PUBLISHED: 10:22 EST, 4 June 2012 | UPDATED: 10:22 EST, 4 June 2012






Rudy Eugene, 31, pictured in an old police mugshot, was shot dead by police in Miami after attacking a man and eating chunks of his face

In 'Eating People is Wrong,' Malcolm Bradbury's genial satire on 1950's leftism, it was still possible to take certain European prejudices for granted. Eating our fellows, as one non-European character in the novel learned, was wrong. Even today most of us probably regard it as not very nice. Nonetheless, the media in every form are ablaze with true stories of cannibalism.

A Haitian-American in Miami attacked a homeless man and ate three fourths of his face, a white mother in Texas drowned her baby and ate bits of it, and the son of a Kenyan college professor in Maryland killed and consumed parts of a 37-year-old Ghanaian boarding in his parents' house. In New Jersey, a man stabbed himself 50 times and pelted the police with some of his intestines. Most bizarre of all, perhaps, is the unconfirmed story of a Canadian homosexual porn actor on the lam for allegedly eating his Chinese boyfriend.

The internet - an electronic petri dish created to culture conspiracy theories - offers the usual zany ideas. It's all voodoo or environmental pollution, and we are on the verge of a zombie apocalypse. It is the tweet twittered round the world.

Amateur philosophers and pop culture critics are in a rush to ascend their cracker barrels and deliver their explanations for the hysteria. People are worried about the economy, see, and project their own fears onto the cannibals. Zombies, so they argue, are our worst nightmare because they have no redeeming virtues. Vampires are romantic - or have been made to seem so in cheap fiction - and even werewolves are tragic figures. But flesh-eating zombies? Why now?

Bogeymen and mythical demons are, as a sociologist would say, "socially constructed" by the stories we are told, the films we see, the religious traditions we accept. As we go mad, we are inclined to pattern our obsessions and delusions according to the myths that dominate our culture. A schizophrenic Christian or even cultural Christian has visions of Christ and the saints, while an ancient Greek in his dreams would receive admonitions from tall handsome people, whether gods or dead relatives.

If zombies and cannibals are coming out of the woodwork to stir our imaginations, it is partly the fault of a very sick popular culture that dotes on the perverse movies of George Romero, Anne Rice's novelistic gushings over vampires, and the teen-exploitation books, movies, and TV shows in which ghouls, werewolves, and vampires are basically not bad creatures who just need a little understanding. We are teaching ourselves not just to celebrate evil but to elevate it. Good people trying to muddle through in a difficult world are boring: Evil is way cool.

There are very few people, any more, who even know that the zombies of legend are not flesh-eating corpses but soulless voodoo slaves, exploited by their masters. For a real zombie movie, watch the Jacques Tourneur/Val Luten movie - beautifully filmed - I Walked With a Zombie. Then watch one of Romero's Night of the Living Dead cannibal-fests and you will begin to understand what has become of our poor world.

The appeal of the old pre-Romero zombie films, and of movies like Don Siegel's The Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Ionesco's play, the Rhinoceros or, even earlier, Karl Capek's R.U.R. and The War With the Newts was the fear of dehumanization. The forces of capitalism and Marxism, as well as mass media and commercialism, were turning out a breed of men and women who seemed less and less rational, less compassionate, less humane and, indeed, less human. People, in other words, like George Romero, Ann Rice, and their admirers.

We no longer fear dehumanization, because too many of us have already lost so much of our humanity. Rape, mutilation, cannibalism - it's all in a day's work for a TV scriptwriter. Someone with a DVD player and a Netflix account can feed his imagination all day long on comic book evil. It is our religion. The Greeks had Zeus and Apollo and Athena; we have Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Buffy and Spike, and the entire cast of Twillight.

Human societies have always had their share of misfits, creeps, and sociopaths, but they also had a moral, aesthetic, and spiritual framework in which to understand the outlaw Grendel or monsters living under volcanos. The great lyric poet Pindar contrasts the lawless rage of Mt. Aetna's Typhon with the serene and beautiful order imposed by the music of Apollo.

Today, such popular art as we have tends to side with Typhon, and there is hardly an undergraduate reader of Milton who does not think Satan is the hero. It is, of course, easy enough to turn off the TV set and throw away the pulp fiction celebrations of vampires and ghouls, but one still has to wonder what the neighbours are reading and watching.



The wildly popular Twilight films are full of romanticised evil-doers, notably vampires and werewolves

Unfortunately, anyone who takes up this theme will be put down as paranoiac or puritanical. Don Siegel is always described as a rabid McCarthyist, which he was not, and anyone who ventures to criticise vampirism will be dismissed as homophobic - "You see, it's an obvious metaphor."

Anyone halfway sane in the 21st century must feel like Dr. Miles Bennell (played by Kevin McCarthy character in Don Siegel's film). Before your very eyes, human beings are turning into pod people - soulless aliens without a trace of compassion.

"Look you fools, you're in danger! Can't you see? They're after you. They're after all of us! Our wives...our children...they're here already! You're next!"

Yes, it's over the top and not the ending Siegel wanted, but it's no less true. A stupefied fascination with monstruous evil is obviously contagious. A few cannibals or zombies, more or less, is nothing to worry about, it is worth thinking about a global population of deracinated consumers who tease their imaginations with real and fictional tales of such depravity.

As they used to say at the end of cheap horror movies, "They're coming to your town. Perhaps they are sitting next to you in the theater." If you are watching Zombie Apocalypse, they probably are - or, rather, they have to worry about sitting next to you.

The Occult Birth of the Movement and its Dangers today

Megiddo II - The New Age - The Occult Birth of the Movement and its Dangers today - Chris Pinto

DaysFor Discernment

Published on Feb 26, 2013


Some of the greatest and most recognized people of the modern era (including Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison, John Lennon, Adolf Hitler and Hillary Clinton) have been influenced by the movement that has re-awakened mankind's communication with the spirit realm, and re-shaped the Western view of God and His relationship to mankind. What are the implications of this "paradigm shift" that seeks to introduce a new global consciousness? Will this new consciousness really bring mankind into the dawning of a golden era? Or the awakening of another dark age?

Full of highly detailed research and exhaustive documentation, Megiddo II challenges even the most skeptical viewer to consider the consequence of the global awakening taking place before our very eyes.

Join speakers Dave Hunt, Caryl Matrisciana, Dr. Kent Hovind, Pastor Joe Schimmel, and Dr. Stan Monteith who expose the movement that seeks to unite mankind in a one-world religion through the United Nations.

Global adherents claim to await a "universal Christ" to lead the world. What happens to those who will not follow this world leader? And are there sinister warnings against those who refuse to be "initiated" into the New Age?

Please support this wonderful video series by buying it from Pinto's website, and check out his other brilliant films.http://www.adullamfilms.com/MegiddoTw...

Biblical Spirituality: Rediscovering Our Biblical Roots or Embracing the East?

2012 » August

Written by Mark Finley


[A segment from the article]


Spiritual formation

Another concept that has gen­erated a great deal of discussion is spiritual formation. Words have meaning in the way they are defined and who defines them. Is the con­cept of spiritual formation biblical? If we define spiritual formation as being formed into the image of Christ as we meditate upon God’s Word, seek Him in prayer, and open our minds to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, certainly it is biblical. The apostle Paul admon­ishes believers at Rome “not [to] be conformed to this world but [to] be transformed by the renew­ing of your mind” (Rom. 12:2).

He urges the Philippians to “let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:5). To the Colossians, he says, “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above” (Col. 3:1, 2). Ellen White expresses the idea of our characters being formed in the image of Christ beautifully: “In Jesus is manifested the character of the Father, and the sight of him attracts. It softens and subdues, and ceases not to transform the character, until Christ is formed within, the hope of glory. The human heart that has learned to behold the character of God may become, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, like a sacred harp, sending forth divine melody.”12

When the term spiritual formation is used to describe contemplative spirituality, centering prayer, and a religious experience based on a mystical involvement, however sincere its proponents may be, it is certainly not biblical. If by spiritual formation we mean blending the meditative techniques of priests and monks or non-Christian religions with biblical ideas to achieve some sort of spiritual oneness with the so-called spark of divine within us, this is not biblical at all.

Why Christianity Is Dying While Spirituality Is Thriving

Steve McSwain

'Voice of the SBNR (spiritual but not religious),' award-winning author, speaker, thought leader, spiritual teacher

Posted: 10/10/2012 3:38 pm




The title of this post alone will put some branches of the Christian church immediately on the defense. The fact is, however, I travel all over this country coaching religious leaders and consulting with congregations of every stripe imaginable. And there is one overarching conclusion to which I've come:Christianity is dying. Or, to put it more accurately, the Christian church is dying while the Christian faith, in too few places still, seems to be slowly, but gratefully, morphing into something new.

And better.

Admittedly, there are a few churches that are growing in the U.S. Some are evangelical; others are Catholic, although most of their growth is largely the consequence of the influx of Hispanics who are, almost universally, Roman Catholic. To those blinded by illusion, however, the few churches that are growing has made some feel driven to object, particularly if they happen to be part of such a church, by saying, "The church is doing quite well, thank you!"

The truth is, it is not. And when church leaders are honest, and many of them are not, they will acknowledge that they are drawing most of their growth from the disaffected, disavowed and disillusioned who have left or leaving other churches. If you were to interview those who are leaving and going to these few growing churches, as I have, you would discover that for many of them, they feel spiritually disconnected and displaced, while still desiring to know and to feel a vital spiritual life. Unable to find it in much of the madness they've chosen to leave behind, they turn to these rapidly growing churches, many of which have become "mega" churches as a result of this phenomenon, in a kind of last ditch effort to find something that resembles spiritual sanity.

Regrettably, however, what many of them soon find even in many of these growing churches is just a polished-up and well-rehearsed, as well as well-performed, version of the same madness they left. Before long, scores of them wind up leaving even these and then join the ranks of those persons known today as "Nones" -- who are, by the way, now one in every five Americans. These "Nones" have all but given up on organized religion and now simply regard themselves as spiritual but not religious. It is to these and for these I regularly write and blog.

So, what do I mean by the statement, "the Christian faith seems to be morphing into something new?"

I do not mean by this a new religion. To the contrary, what I'm seeing is a new and refreshing emergence within the Christian religion itself. Perhaps, as at no other time in Christian history, except perhaps the first few decades following the death of Jesus, the church today is slowly becoming, but in too few places as yet, something that I suspect Jesus himself might actually recognize. There is within this new emergence an affinity for those matters of social and personal justice, compassion, spiritual wholeness and unity within and among all people and faiths. Thesewere the obsessions of Jesus while here on earth.

I regard these few churches as glimmers of hope scattered here and there. So, what does this new emergence within the Christian religion look like?

1. This new, emerging church is made up of people who are desperately seeking ways of understanding, and in many cases, rewriting Christian theology. It needs to be rewritten. For decades now, the church has sought to survive on a doctrine of salvation that depended on the shedding of innocent blood to appease an obsessively angry God so as to rescue humanity from what would otherwise result in their conscious and eternal torment in hell. It's crazy theology. It is not what Jesus taught. And as a consequence, it is more pagan than it is Christian.

2. These new churches have a healthier view of their sacred text known as the Bible.They revere the Bible without making a god of it. Instead worshipping the Bible as a kind of "Constitution," as Brian Mclaren dubs it in "A New Kind of Christianity," they interpret the Bible for what it is: an inspired book, capable of providing inspiration, wisdom and spiritual direction, not a textbook on science or morality or answer-book preachers might use for "Stump the Preacher" talk-shows.

3. These Christians no longer feel the enemy is liberalism, even "secular humanism," as it is commonly labeled in the declining and dying branches within Christianity.Admittedly, they see dangers in any extreme notions, whether in liberal theology or humanistic philosophy, but they have awakened to the realization that the church has met the "real" enemy -- and the real enemy is the church itself. Furthermore, these Christians no longer believe gays will destroy the institution of marriage when heterosexuals have successfully accomplished that all by themselves. Waging war against gays, lesbians and those within the transgender community is like trying to defend slavery. Furthermore, these have given up the church's war with science and psychology, choosing instead to embrace the truths science teaches us, not only about the origins of the universe, but about the complexities of the human mind, human development and sexuality.

4. Further, I see this new evolving Christianity being birthed in the hearts of sincere and devoted Christ-followers who are open to what other religions can teach us about spirituality, too. They would regard, for example, Desmond Tutu's statement "God is not a Christian," as the truth. While affirming that "God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself" (2 Corinthians 5:19), and cherishing that belief within their own faith confessions, these Christians would embrace and, in fact, do embrace the spiritual insights that may come from Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and scores of other spiritual traditions. They have exchanged the insanity of the dying church that insists "We're right! You're wrong," for the sane "We're in and you are, too" approach to human and religious solidarity. Together, these Christians seek spiritual awareness -- spiritual enlightenment -- and they seek the good of all people, too, even those who embrace no religion.

5. Finally, but I could go on and on in my observations, this emerging new Christianity no longer interprets Christian "hope" as some "pie-in-the-sky" future paradise that they alone will enjoy, along with those who agree with their theology, their eschatology and their exclusivist beliefs. No, these Christians would view "hope" the way Jesus their leader viewed it; the way the prophets of old viewed it; the way the entire biblical narrative views it: as a vision of the world wherein peace and justice and plenty for everyone exists in the here and now; a world that reflects "God's will on earth just as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10); a world where all people are treated equally, cared for, respected, fed and nurtured for the wonderful creations of God that they are; a world where all people regardless of color, sex, race, religion, political party, nationality or sexual orientation have a voice and a place; a world where people and nations, as the Prophet Isaiah put it, "beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; where nation no longer takes up sword against nation; where war is no longer learned" (Isaiah 2:1-5).

It is this kind of church that will emerge and thrive. The others will die a slow and agonizingly painful death.

For all the reasons above, and a host of others, spirituality is thriving both inside and outside these new and emerging expressions of the Christian faith. For me, and a growing number of other progressive-minded Christians, that is a cause for hope.

American Spirit: A History of the Supernatural

Published: 10/26/2012 

“Houdini and the ghost of Abraham Lincoln,” ca. 1920, Library of Congress

This episode of BackStory with the American History Guys was originally broadcast in October 2011. This episode has been slightly edited and updated from that original version, which you can listen to here.

Halloween – despite its solemn Celtic roots – has become a safe way for Americans to transgress social norms and toy with the idea of ghosts in a family-friendly fashion. But for some, spirits from another plane have always been a very real part of life on thisplane.

On this Halloween special, the History Guys explore Americans’ relationship with ghosts, spirits, and witches throughout our nation’s history. Why were colonists so fearful of New England “witches”? How is it that progressive social reformers found a home in the Spiritualist movement of the 19th century? Why do new media technologies always conjure talk of the undead? Can social upheaval help explain our history with the ineffable?

Fr. General's Intervention at the Synod, 10/10/12

(11-Oct-2012)

A New Evangelization has to learn from the good and not-so-good points of the First Evangelization. I come from a tradition of Evangelization and Spirituality that encourages "Finding God in all things".

I am afraid that we, missionaries, have not done it with sufficient depth and, thus, have not enriched the Universal Church as the Church could expect from us.  We have looked for Western signs of Faith and Sanctity and have not discovered how God had been at work in other peoples. This impoverishes all. We miss important clues, insights and discoveries.

We have learnt from the past as effective for communicating the Gospel: The way of humility, the awareness of human limitation when it comes to expressing the Spirit, the simplicity of the message, generosity and joy in acknowledging goodness and holiness, our life as a factor of credibility, forgiveness and Reconciliation, the message of the Cross in our own self-denial.

Approaching Islam in the Light of Ignatian Spiritual Exercises

November 29th, 2011 | Author: Kaitlyn McCarthy

How do Jesuits approach Islam and Muslims in the various contexts of countries and works? How do the Spiritual Exercises guide our perception and action within the Christian-Muslim relationship and what can we learn in listening to Muslim spiritual experience?

These were some of the main questions asked in the international meeting “Jesuits Among Muslims” which took place in Rome, hosted by the Gregorian University. 37 Jesuits from five continents participated in the meeting, highlighted by the visits of Father General and Cardinal Tauran, President of the Pontifical Council of Interreligious Dialogue.

American Jesuit, Father Patrick Ryan’s paper “Looking at Islam with Ignatian eyes – Reading Ignatius with Muslim Eyes” opened this circle of reflection on Jesuit foundations, followed by a fruitful discussion about “Ignatian Discernment: Relevant for our Modus Procedendi with Muslims Today.”

“Certain images and themes in the spirituality of Ignatius have a certain parallelism with themes in Islamic spirituality, without suggesting any derivation of either from the other; the similarity between the Quranic motif of the fall of Iblis (the Devil) for refusing to bow before Adam and the medieval Christian sense that the sin of the angels was their rejection of the planned Incarnation as the background for Spiritual Exercises # 50 (the sin of the angels); the centrality of election in the spirituality of Ignatius and the similarities with and differences from Islamic istikhara ; imagery from military life in both Muslim mystical jihad al-akbar (“the greater jihad”) and the Crusade/Reconquista imagery in some of Ignatius’ most famous writings,” commented Fr. Ryan.

The meeting aimed on the one hand to a reflection on the shared spiritual-theological basis underlying and inspiring all the very different apostolic engagement of Jesuits which reaches from the courageous pastoral presence in difficult situations as in Algeria or Pakistan to the scholarly reflection on the Arab-Christian heritage in Beirut (Universite Saint Joseph) and Rome (Jesuits at the Pontifical Institute of Oriental Studies, others at the Pontifical Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies).

A Time To Protest

A Time To Protest--When there are men in the church who love riches more than righteousness, and who stand ready to take advantage of their fellow-men by unjust dealings, shall we make no protest? And when men standing in the position of leaders and teachers work under the power of spiritualistic ideas and sophistries, shall we keep silent, for fear of injuring their influence, while souls are being beguiled? Satan will use every advantage that he can obtain to cause souls to become clouded and perplexed in regard to the work of the church, in regard to the word of God, and in regard to the words of warning which He has given through the testimonies of His Spirit, to guard His little flock from the subtleties of the enemy.--Manuscript 72, 1904, p. 6.

Christian Leadership, p.62.

Spiritism and Revolution

He answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, . . . and thy neighbour as thyself..... Luke 10:27.


As the youth go out into the world to encounter its allurements to sin--the passion for money getting, for amusement and indulgence, for display, luxury, and extravagance, the overreaching, fraud, robbery, and ruin--what are the teachings there to be met?

Spiritualism asserts that men are unfallen demigods; that "each mind will judge itself"; that "true knowledge places men above all law"; that "all sins committed are innocent"; for "whatever is, is right," and "God doth not condemn." The basest of human beings it represents as in heaven, and highly exalted there. Thus it declares to all men, "It matters not what you do; live as you please, heaven is your home." Multitudes are thus led to believe that desire is the highest law, that license is liberty, and that man is accountable only to himself.

With such teaching given at the very outset of life, when impulse is strongest, and the demand for self-restraint and purity is most urgent, where are the safeguards of virtue? what is to prevent the world from becoming a second Sodom?

All the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; . . . the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution--all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France.

Such are the influences to be met by the youth of today. To stand amidst such upheavals they are now to lay the foundations of character.

In every generation and in every land the true foundation and pattern for character building have been the same. The divine law, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, . . . and thy neighbour as thyself" (Luke 10:27), the great principle made manifest in the character and life of our Saviour, is the only secure foundation and the only sure guide.
