“Perhaps the single most powerful event facing humanity today is a great awakening on a planetary scale that has been millennia in the making. We humans are in the midst of a profound advance as a species to a higher form of global consciousness….” The World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality<\/p>\n

“…about ten percent of people in North America [and “Western Europe”] are already awakening…. This is probably enough of a critical mass to bring about a new earth. So the transformation of consciousness is truly happening.” Eckhart Tolle, author of A New Earth<\/p>\n

“…the ushering in of the new world order … will gather into its ranks all men of peace and good will \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the embodiment of the emerging Kingdom of God on earth….”Dictated to theosophist Alice Bailey by her spirit guide, Djwhal Khul<\/p>\n

“…the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.” 1 John 5:19<\/p>\n

“Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf” Luke 11:35<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A bright New Spirituality is beckoning seekers everywhere. It promises peace, pleasure, power and oneness with the Divine. It envisions a cosmic evolution that will usher in a glorious Kingdom of God on earth. And it’s rapidly spreading a contagious new “consciousness” that will (so they say) unite all Life — except disbelieving resisters — into a single Global Mind.<\/p>\n

Popularized by Oprah, its positive, people-pleasing image is challenging churches everywhere to emerge from their Biblical ways and flow with the change. Tearing down divisive old boundaries, it flings its doors open to the world’s tantalizing attractions. After all, the New Spirituality knows neither sin nor guilt!<\/p>\n

No wonder today’s restless, thrill-seeking world is flocking to popular authors such as Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, William Young and others. Captivated by their books and promises, the masses have learned to love “the beautiful side of evil.” Drawn by “deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1), few even realize they are trading Truth for lies.<\/p>\n

Oprah isn’t the only guru for this New Spirituality. A worldwide web of “partners” and networks have joined hands to speed this transformation. Even a staunch communist like Mikhail Gorbachev is part of this vast occult movement. Calling for “a global consciousness,”[4] he invited countless occult leaders to participate in his State of the World Forums back in the nineties. Click here to read this entire article.<\/a><\/p>\n
