What exactly are Oprah & Ekhart teaching us?

I aim to show in this post the links between Oprah’s new spiritual course and the occult teachings of organisations who claim to receive their revelation from ‘Masters’ from another plane (i.e. demons). After reading this I don’t think any Christian in their right mind would want to watch another Oprah show, or get involved in her New Age doctrine. The spirit of deception that Paul preached and warned about is so true, perilous times are not coming – they are already here!

Eckhart’s New Age teaching twists the Word of God, claiming to promote the ‘one thing’ Jesus spoke about. The truth is the ‘one thing’ Jesus spoke of was to hear the Word of God as recorded in the Hebrew Old Testament being expounded – not a wishy washy form undefined form of ’spirituality’.

In the Gospel story of Mary and Martha, Jesus says to Martha, “You are anxious and troubled about many things, but only one thing is needful.” (Luke 10:41)

As I was writing A New Earth, people would sometimes ask me, “What is the new book about?” And invariably, my answer would be, “I only ever write or speak about one thing.” What is that one thing? Spiritual awakening. (“The One Thing” an essay by Eckart Tolle)

The doctrine of Oprah & Eckhart is strikingly similar to New Age teachings of Alice A Bailey and her spirit medium ‘The Tibetan’.

Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are—and learn to live and breathe freely. (EckhartTolle.com/NewEarth)

COMPARE WITH THE TEACHINGS OF THE LUCIS TRUST, AN OCCULT ORGANISATION PROMOTING NEW AGE DOCTRINES OF ALICE A BAILEY…

The Arcane School was established by Alice A. Bailey in 1923 to help meet an obvious and growing demand for further teaching and training in the science of the soul.

The Arcane School was created as a training school for adult men and women in meditation techniques and the development of spiritual potentiality. The School provides sequential courses of study and meditation, and practical training in group service.

The Arcane School is nonsectarian, and respects the right of each student to hold his/her own view and beliefs. It does not rely upon an authoritarian presentation of any one line of thought or code of ethics. Material used in the lesson courses is drawn from a variety of sources. The knowledge, insight and wisdom, and capacity to wield spiritual energy resulting from work and training with the Arcane School should be expressed and applied in daily living service in helping to materialise the Plan of God and to aid in solving the problems of humanity.

The Arcane School is conducted by correspondence through headquarters in New York, London, and Geneva.

The Arcane School is nonpolitical and nonsectarian. All are served. Since 1923 tens of thousands of students have taken advantage of the training.

No charges are made by the School for its services. The work is financed through the Lucis Trust by the voluntary contributions of students and those interested in the work of the School and in the teaching. Each gives according to personal circumstances.

The purpose of the esoteric training given in the Arcane School is to help the student grow spiritually toward acceptance of discipleship responsibility and to serve the Plan by serving humanity. Esotericism is a practical way of life.

The function of the School is to assist those at the end of the probationary path to move forward on to the Path of discipleship, and to assist those already on that path to move on more quickly and to achieve greater effectiveness in service. (Lucis Trust website)

If you are wondering who the ‘Lucis Trust’ is, they are an organisation which stems from a group that was first named: ‘Lucifer Trust’ (although they deny this), as they revere Lucifer as one who is good – basically, they call light darkness and darkness light!

There are comments on the World Wide Web claiming that the Lucis Trust was once called the Lucifer Trust. Such was never the case. However, for a brief period of two or three years in the early 1920’s, when Alice and Foster Bailey were beginning to publish the books published under her name, they named their fledgling publishing company “Lucifer Publishing Company”. By 1925 the name was changed to Lucis Publishing Company and has remained so ever since.Both “Lucifer” and “Lucis” come from the same word root, lucis being the Latin generative case meaning of light. The Bailey’s reasons for choosing the original name are not known to us, but we can only surmise that they, like the great teacher H.P. Blavatsky, for whom they had enormous respect, sought to elicit a deeper understanding of the sacrifice made by Lucifer. Alice and Foster Bailey were serious students and teachers of Theosophy, a spiritual tradition which views Lucifer as one of the solar Angels, those advanced Beings Who Theosophy says descended (thus “the fall”) from Venus to our planet eons ago to bring the principle of mind to what was then animal-man. In the theosophical perspective, the descent of these solar Angels was not a fall into sin or disgrace but rather an act of great sacrifice, as is suggested in the name “Lucifer” which means light-bearer. (see source – but cover yourself with prayer before visiting this demonic site!)

What I have been trying to highlight in this post is that Oprah’s new initiative is nothing less than bringing the Occult teachings of organisations such as ‘Lucis Trust’ into the mainstream. There is an ongoing program to re-define humanity and steer us down the path toward anti-Christ, Christian beware!
