The Gnostic Luciferian New Age Babylon Revisited


Book Description

The Gnostic Luciferian New Age "Utopia" will be based upon a Mystery Babylon re-visitation of tolerance for all behaviors narcissistically self-indulgent, sexually perverse, psychoactively induced, and sinfully decadent, with self-worship and self-adulation as the highest pinnacle of religious zeal. Additionally, utilizing the trickery and artifice of an Alien Antichrist Messiah Deception, the Luciferian Elite seek to obliterate Christianity and replace it with a Gnostic Pantheistic Cosmogenesis narrative, where Ancient Aliens are our true genetic origins, and Cosmic Evolution, with Mankind in tow, is the Grand Design of the Universe. Since this is a very real situation which effects all the world in the direst sort of way, the contents of this book are relevant to all citizens of the world. This book bravely explores the various guises that this repackaged Babylonian Gnostic Luciferianism has taken and how it got to this point, as well as offers answers to this nefarious situation.




LIVING FROM THE SOUL


Book Description

This book is a guidebook for the readers who wish to deepen their spiritual connection to God by taking seriously the admonition given by Jesus the Christ to “Go inward” and “Seek the Kingdom of God.” It is a third in a series based on the Spiritual Teachings of the Ageless Wisdom brought forth in recent times by The Teachers From the Realms of Light. The first two books from this Source contained Discourses by two sets of Teachers and their messages concentrated on Spiritual Growth through going inward to align and anchor in the Soul. The Teachers affirmed that the Soul is that part of us that is, in fact, the Divine Spark of God within each one of us. It is also a guidebook for those who feel compelled at this time on the Earth to make a difference, to join with others to add their will-power, creativity, resources and their actions to make the whole world a better place for all humanity. The book is divided into four sections. The first section is entitled “The Essentials to Understand” and contains five essays on the basic Spiritual Truths that under gird most of the world’s religious teachings. The second section is entitled: “Tasks to Accomplish” which stresses the reader’s intent and self-directed actions to help them move away from ego and embrace the reality of their own Soul’s mission in the world. The third section is entitled: “Environments to Create” that gives practical help in creating environments that are conducive to creating higher vibrations of holiness/wholeness. As this is done the seeker is assisted in practicing the disciplines of going inward and raising spiritual Consciousness through meditation, seeking the Silence, and releasing the learned habits of the "lesser self." Section four contains four Discourses brought forth by The Aquarius Teachers (speaking from the Realms of Light) and a lengthy final chapter that provides additional spiritual resources from both ancient and modern writers and spiritual Teachers. These excerpts are taken from eastern and western spiritual traditions and contain such well-known teachers as Alice A. Bailey, Paramahansa Yogananda, Eckert Tolle, Joan Borysenko and Gordon Dveirin, and Eileen Caddy. The Aquarius Materials: A Trilogy "Living from the Soul: Awakening to Christ-Consciousness" "The Resurrection Fire: Universal Teachers from the Realms of Light" "The Brotherhood Discourses: Children of Light Awaken"







Discipleship in the New Age Vol I


Book Description

Two volumes contain the record of a series of personal and group instructions given to a small group of aspirants over a period of fifteen years by a Master of the Wisdom. They contain detailed teachings on Meditation, Initiation and the Six Stages of Discipleship. They emphasise the new age pioneering necessity for group work, the development of group consciousness, and the change in training for initiation from individuals to discipleship groups.




Ritual in Its Own Right


Book Description

Historically, canonic studies of ritual have discussed and explained ritual organization, action, and transformation primarily as representations of broader cultural and social orders. In the present, as in the past, less attention is given to the power of ritual to organize and effect transformation through its own dynamics. Breaking with convention, the contributors to this volume were asked to discuss ritual first and foremost in relation to itself, in its own right, and only then in relation to its socio-cultural context. The results attest to the variable capacities of rites to effect transformation through themselves, and to the study of phenomena in their own right as a fertile approach to comprehending ritual dynamics.




Possession, Power and the New Age


Book Description

This book provides a new sociological account of contemporary religious phenomena such as channelling, holistic healing, meditation and divination, which are usually classed as part of a New Age Movement. Drawing on his extensive ethnography carried out in the UK, alongside comparative studies in America and Europe, Matthew Wood criticises the view that such phenomena represent spirituality in which self-authority is paramount. Instead, he emphasises the role of social authority and the centrality of spirit possession, linking these to participants' class positions and experiences of secularisation. Informed by sociological and anthropological approaches to social power and practice, especially the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault, Wood's study explores what he calls the nonformative regions of the religious field, and charts similarities and differences with pagan, spiritualist and Theosophical traditions.




The New Age Ethic and the Spirit of Postmodernity


Book Description

"The book draws on phenomenology, interpretive hermeneutics, anthropological cultural studies, psychoanalysis, feminism, deconstructionism and Marxism in exploring how the new age can inform us with regard to modern/postmodern relations with Nature, our ambivalent perceptions of self and other, essentialism and relativism, and epistemology and ontology. Further, the book raises the question of the purpose and meaning of subcultures in contemporary society, and our collective relationship to utopias and dystopias."--BOOK JACKET.
