Former Witch Exposes Harry Potter




Former Witch Exposes Harry Potter

What Does God Have To Say?
I am writing this urgent message because I was once a witch. I lived by the stars as an astrologer and numerologist casting horoscopes and spells. I lived in the mysterious and shadowy realm of the occult. By means of spells and magic, I was able to invoke the powers of the "controlling unknown" and fly upon the night winds transcending the astral plane. Halloween was my favorite time of the year and I was intrigued and absorbed in the realm of Wiccan witchcraft. All of this was happening in the decade of the 1960s when witchcraft was just starting to come out of the broom closet.

It was during that decade of the 1960s, in the year 1966, that a woman named J. K. Rowling was born. This is the woman who has capti! voted the world in the year 2000 with four books known as the "Harry Potter Series." These books are orientational and instructional manuals of witchcraft woven into the format of entertainment. These four books by J. K. Rowling teach witchcraft! I know this because I was once very much a part of that world.

Witchcraft was very different in the 1960s. There were a lot fewer witches, and the craft was far more secretive. At the end of that spiritually troubled decade, I was miraculously saved by the power of Jesus Christ and His saving blood. I was also delivered from every evil spirit that lived in me and was set free. However, as I began to attend fundamental Christian churches, I realized that even their witchcraft had left its mark. Pagan holidays and sabbats were celebrated as "Christian holidays."

As time went on, I watched the so-called "Christian" churches compromising and unifying. I also watched with amazement as teachings from Eastern religions and "New Age" doctrine began to captivate congregations. It was a satanic set-up, and I saw it coming. Illuministic conspirators were bringing forth a one-world religion with a cleverly concealed element of occultism interwoven in its teachings.

In order to succeed in bringing witchcraft to the world and thus complete satanic control, an entire generation would have to be induced and taught to think like witches, talk like witches, dress like witches, and act like witches. The occult songs of the 1960s launched the Luciferian project of capturing the minds of an entire generation. In the song "Sound Of Silence" by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, we were told of seeds that were left while an entire generation was sleeping, and that the "vision that was planted in my brain Still remains."

Now it is the year 2000. All of the foundations for occultism and witchcraft are in place. The Illuminists have to move quickly because time is running out.

It was the Communist revolutionary Lenin who said, "Give me one generation of youth, and I will transform the entire world." Now an entire generation of youth has been given to a woman named J.K. Rowling and her four books on witchcraft, known as the Harry Potter Series.

As a former witch, I can speak with authority when I say that I have examined the works of Rowling and that the Harry Potter books are training manuals for the occult. Untold millions of young people are being taught to think, speak, dress and act like witches by filling their heads with the contents of these books. Children are obsessed with the Harry Potter books that they have left television and video games to read these witchcraft manuals.

The first book of the series, entitled "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", finds the orphan, Harry Potter, embarking into a new realm when he is taken to "Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." At this occult school, Harry Potter learns how to obtain and use witchcraft equipment. Harry also learns a new vocabulary, including words such as "Azkaban", "Circe", "Draco", "Erised", "Hermes", and "Slytherin"; all of which are names of real devils or demons. These are not characters of fiction!

How serious is this? By reading these materials, many millions of young people are learning how to work with demon spirits. They are getting to know them by! name. Vast numbers of children professing to be Christians are also filling their hearts and minds, while willingly ignorant parents look the other way.

The titles of the books should be warning enough to make us realize how satanic and anti-christ these books are. The aforementioned title of the first book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", was a real giveaway. The second book was called "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", while the third book was entitled "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

Sadly enough, this blatant witchcraft has been endorsed by well-known and respected "Christian" leaders, such as Dr. James Dobson and Chuck Colson, who have proven themselves to be modern-day Judas Iscariots. Nothing could be more obvious than that Harry Potter books are pure witchcraft and of the devil. The "Christian" leaders, however, defend them by saying that good magic always wins and overcomes evil magic.

This is the oldest con game ever hatched out of hell. As a real witch, I learned about the two sides of "the force." Apparently, so do many "Christian" leaders. When real witches have sabbats and esbats and meet as a coven, they greet each other by saying "Blessed be", and when they part, they say "The Force be with you." Both sides of this "Force" are Satan. It is not a good side of it! the force that overcomes the bad side of the force, but rather it's the blood of Jesus Christ that destroys both supposed sides of the satanic "Force."

High-level witches believe that there are seven satanic princes and that the seventh, which is assigned to Christians, has no name. In coven meetings, he is called "the nameless one." In the Harry Potter books, there is a character called "Voldemort." The pronunciation guide says of this being "He who must not be named."

On July 8 at midnight, bookstores everywhere were stormed by millions of children to obtain the latest and fourth book of! the series is known as "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." These books were taken into homes everywhere with a real evil spirit following each copy to curse those homes. July 8th was also the 18th day (three sixes in numerology) from the witches' sabat of midsummer. July 8th was also the 13th day from the signing of the United Religions Charter in San Francisco. Now we have learned that the public school system is planning to use the magic of Harry Potter in the classrooms making the public schools centers of witchcraft training.

What does God have to say about such books as the Harry Potter series? In the Bible in the book of Acts, we read the following in the 19th chapter, verses 18 - 20: "And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds. M! any of them also which used curious arts brought their books together and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed."

As parents, we will answer to God if we allow our children to read witchcraft books. The Word of God will prevail mightily in your life only if such things of Satan are destroyed. This tract has been prayed over, and I hope it has helped you. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us.

H! arry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged - Making Evil Look Innocent
It is surprising that there is any controversy about the Harry Potter series when author J.K. Rowling openly presents blatant Witchcraft, Satanism and pagan mythology.

Unfortunately, because many don't recognize occult symbolism, or understand Witchcraft, thousands of young readers, by inference, are led to accept them as whimsical and harmless, aided by Rowling's repackaging of Witchcraft in probably its most dangerous form - children's fantasy literature.

Does Witchcraft actually have power, and if so what is its source? And, does Rowling's presentation make Witchcraft any more acceptable?
Rowling's "Harry Potter" presents all of the following elements of Witchcraft: Mother Goddess, evolution, reincarnation, communing with the dead and spirit world, seasonal nature celebrations, sorcery, divination, spells, curses, meditation, occult symbology, black magic, demon possession, "dark" aspects of Witchcraft, and more.

Young readers today, more than any other time in history, have an abundance of occult resources easily available to them. The Harry Potter series clearly teaches young children how to become! e witches and warlocks and brings them into the new age occult world of the Luciferian illuminist, and schools them in the devil's occult craft.

The June 2000, issue of the Last Trumpet reported that Dr. James Dobson and his respected mainstream "Focus on the Family" organization has endorsed the witchcraft training manuals known as the Harry Potter books. Dobson's reasoning is that these books teach the good and bad forces, and that good always wins.

If you get the chance tell this to Dr. James Dobson and other "so-called" or "used to be" Christians, who will not BOLDLY stand AGAINST the damnable Harry Potter series:

Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which belief in me, it were better for him that a millstone was hanged about his neck, and that he was drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Every parent and teacher should be outraged about the damnable effects that the Harry Potter series will have to their children, grandchildren, and concerned friends.

The Origin of Christmas

Learn The Origin Of Christmas

Christmas Origin Pagan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Learn the dark truth about Christmas is a holiday shared and celebrated by many religions. It is a day that has an effect on the entire world.

To many people, it is a favorite time of the year involving gift giving, parties and feasting. Christmas is a holiday that unifies almost all of professing Christendom.

The spirit of Christmas causes people to decorate their homes and churches, cut down trees and bring them into their homes, decking them with silver and gold.

In the light of that tree, families make merry and give gifts one to another.

When the sun goes down on December 24th, and darkness covers the land, families and churches prepare for participation in customs such as burning the yule log, singing around the decorated tree, kissing under the mistletoe and holly, and attending a late night service or midnight mass.

What is the meaning of Christmas? Where did the customs and traditions originate?

You, as a Christian, would want to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, discerning good from evil.

The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas pre-date the birth of Jesus Christ, and a study of this would reveal that
Christmas in our day is a collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations.

The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god.

This was done long before the birth of Jesus.

It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died.

These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun.

Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.

This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.

In Germany, the evergreen tree was used in worship and celebration of the yule god, also in observance of the resurrected sun god.

The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship.

Witches and other pagans regarded the red holly as a symbol of the menstrual blood of the queen of heaven, also known as Diana.

The holly wood was used by witches to make wands.

The white berries of mistletoe were believed by pagans to represent droplets of the semen of the sun god.

Both holly and mistletoe were hung in doorways of temples and homes to invoke powers of fertility in those who stood beneath and kissed, causing the spirits of the god and goddess to enter them.

These customs transcended the borders of Rome and Germany to the far reaches of the known world.

The question now arises: How did all of these customs find their way into contemporary Christianity, ranging from Catholicism to Protestantism to fundamentalist churches?

The word "Christmas"itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.

The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass.

The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.

The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim!

In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.

A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control.

In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, "Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.

When Martin Luther started the reformation on October 31st, 1517, and other reformers followed his lead, all of them took with them the paganism that was so firmly imbedded in Rome.

These reformers left Christmas intact.

In England, as the authorized Bible became available to the common people by the decree of King James the II in 1611, people began to discover the pagan roots of Christmas, which are clearly revealed in Scripture.

The Puritans in England, and later in Massachusetts Colony, outlawed this holiday as witchcraft.

Near the end of the nineteenth century, when other Bible versions began to appear, there was a revival of the celebration of Christmas.

We are now seeing ever-increasing celebrating of Christmas or Yule, its true name, as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!

In both witchcraft circles and contemporary Christian churches, the same things are going on.

As the Bible clearly states in Jeremiah 10:2-4, "Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen; and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven. For the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain. For one cutteth a tree out of the forest. The work of the hands of the workman with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not."

So, what is wrong with Christmas?

1. To say that Jesus was born on December 25th is a lie! The true date is sometime in September according to the Scriptures.

2. Trees, wreaths, holly, mistletoe and the like are strictly forbidden as pagan and heathen! To say that these are Christian or that they can be made Christian is a lie!

3. The Lord never spoke of commemorating his birth but rather commanded us to remember the sacrifice of His suffering and death, which purchased our salvation.

Think about it! Can we worship and honor God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God Himself forbade as idolatry? Can we convince God to somehow "Christianize" these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves? Can we obey through disobedience?

So what is right about Christmas? 1. Nothing!

New Age Medicine and Movements

New Age Medicine and Movements Against the Church

The Problem with New Age Spirituality

In essence, the New Age as a counterfeit system of religion devised by Satan to be an attractive alternative to Bible-based Christianity. Its ultimate goal is to lead the churches into a great apostasy in preparation for the appearance of the Antichrist so that he will be accepted as the Messiah by both Christians and New Agers alike. Their plan was to weaken the doctrine of Christianity by slowly removing from our vocabulary – sin and repentance. They introduce other types of modalities for healing that seem reasonable but are deceptive tools to deceive the church.

Satan is the great deceiver. He comes as an angel of light. Jesus told us Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy in John 10:10

· John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
So, how is one healed by homeopathy? "The healing power," say the homeopaths, "is coming from cosmic power transferred to the remedy through the ritual of potentiation." The "ritual of potentiation" refers to the diluting and shaking of homeopathic medicines. According to homeopaths, that enhances and increases the medicine's power, which is then transferred to the person. In fact, "some leading homeopaths have confessed that the energy they claim to manipulate in curing people is indistinguishable from that occult energy in general, which has gone by a wide variety of names throughout history."

What is frightening is the fact that one homeopathic Doctor, "Vithoulkas", openly reveals that the real purpose of homeopathy is "to help open the higher centers [of the brain] for spiritual and celestial influx."

Demonic invasion! 

Physician H. J. Bopp relates his own clinical experience: "The occult influence in homeopathy is transmitted to the individual, bringing him consciously or unconsciously under demonic influence. [...] It is significant frequently to find nervous depression in families using homeopathic treatments."

Other homeopaths admit an occult connection. Homeopathic authority James Kent states that there are two worlds, the physical and the invisible worlds. He says that the whole of homeopathy is bound up in the invisible world, which is indistinguishable from the spiritual world of the occult realm.

Perhaps Richard Grossinger, author of Planet Medicine: From Stone Age Shamanism to Post-Industrial Healing, does the best of summing up the information I have just presented to you --

Homeopathy is neither the first nor the last attempt to develop a scientific Vitalist [occult] medicine. Alchemists, gnostics, animists, and other naturalist magicians worked for millennia toward a cure based on the life force in the primal energy of nature. Goethe, Steiner, Jung, and Reich followed. [...] It [homeopathy] persists [today] as a clinical occult discipline.

He further states,

Psychic healing, homeopathy, acupuncture, orgone therapy, and various shamanisms and voodoo all suggest that there must be an energy outside of contemporary definition."

Again, homeopathy was developed by a German mystic physician named Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, who lived between 1755-1843. Although there are three different streams of homeopathy since its development, homeopathy has changed very little.

Others use divination to find a cure. Dr. Voegeli, a famous homeopathic doctor, has confirmed that many homeopaths work with the pendulum. Dr. Pfeifer, M.D., also notes the use of pendulums by homeopaths because "it is easier to take a shortcut with the radionic pendulum."For example, former Lutheran pastor Bolte got his "gift" of soothsaying by means of a radionic pendulum. Like many other homeopaths, he chooses the appropriate remedy for a patient using the pendulum. In his booklet From Pendulum Research to Miraculous Healing, he writes:

I would sit at the desk, take the pendulum out, let it circle over Schwabe's list of homeopathic remedies, and then order the remedy at their pharmacy in Leipzig."

The frosting on the occult cake comes from a former new age healer and psychic who says, "It is a fact that many homeopathic practitioners try to make sure their remedies are working by putting a magic spell on them."

[Note that since homeopathic "medicines" are all diluted so far as to contain practically none of the original substance, it would logically follow that it should make no difference at all which one is prescribed. Bolte's claim of success due to prescribing random remedies only supports the fact that they are all the same... ordinary water.]

Now, let's get to where the rubber meets the road. In James 5:13-15 it says

13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

It says to go to our elders if afflicted to pray, anoint and even check to see if they have sin. 80% of diseases come from root issues.

Our society has gotten so far from what the word says that the Lord heals all our diseases. That is for today! Then, if we learned to go back to biblical basics and the church would take their place, then the need for antibiotics and homeopathics wouldn't be needed. Yes, we do need doctors today and they do help.

Did you know the 3rd cause of death is prescriptions? Did you know that does not include street drugs? Did you know that the 7th cause of death is mistakes during surgeries? Most diseases are only maintained through prescriptions not cured.



Did you know the bible looks at Pharmacia as sorcery? How far have we gotten away from the word of God. We depend so much on the medical community and leave God out of it. In Revelation 21:8 “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

According to W.E. Vine’s expository dictionary of New Testament Words (page 1074), the word SORCERY comes from a Greek word, PHARMAKIA - used as a noun, it “signifies a sorcerer,” one who uses drugs, potions, spells, enchantments, as in Rev. 21:8.



We have a promise in the word of God about diseases: In Exodus 15:26 it says, "And said, if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

Psalms 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Is that a promise?

Folks, we need to know that there is an agenda against the church. We are told to discern good and evil. Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

So, why would anyone want to use homeopathic medicine! It is occult medicine, no matter how you look at it. We need to start looking into products before we buy them. What I use to make sure they are safe are several things that I do:

· Who was the founder of this modality?
· What was his/her spirituality?
· What culture did it come out of?
· What were their beliefs?
· Who is their God or gods?
· Is an example found in the word of God? I don’t believe the examples of God are hidden from us but are explicitly written.

So, I'm not surprised that we have many bacterial-resistant diseases. When we go to the lesser instead of the Greater (God), we are not trusting Him.

We might as well start going to the Lord and our elders for healing. If not, what happens when the mark comes out, and you cannot go to the doctor without the mark? Will you then go to the Lord to heal your diseases?

I know I'm harsh, but I'm trying to make a point because people are perishing from lack of knowledge.

Silva Mind Control

Silva Mind Control 


(Silva Method)*Christian or New Age Mind Cult?
The Silva Method (formerly Silva Mind Control [SMC]) was developed by José
Silva. Over six million students in 71 countries have taken the Silva
International courses (formerly Silva Mind Control International). (One
Silva's goal is to have the Silva Method course taught to all
school children in grade school and college.) He claims that anyone taking his 48-hour (four-day) course will develop psychic powers. A student is shown how to enter an altered state of
consciousness and, in that state, is taught how to tap into "higher intelligence in the universe." The student is taught how to function psychically and clairvoyantly and invites counselors, or psychic guides, into his mind to help him with his problems. By the third day of the course, students are supposed to be able to operate psychically enough to project their awareness outside of their bodies, i.e., have out-of-body experiences. Their minds are believed to be able to tap into any source in the universe for information, including the minds of other men, alive or dead.

Silva's Method uses visualization and guided imagery quite heavily; both
have long been recognized by sorcerers as the most
powerful and effective methodology for contacting the spirit world to acquire supernatural power, knowledge, and healing. This sort of thing has been going on throughout history. It's known as "shamanism" or witchcraft. Yet, Silva claims that God sent Jesus to teach us all 
this!

Obviously, the Silva Method is little more than a New Age psychological
mind control technique rather than a cultic system of teaching with
readily identifiable followers. Nevertheless, it does have spiritual
underpinnings (see Silva's book Keys to the Kingdom), and it considers itself Christian in many ways. Below are the highlights of what Silva Mind Control/Silva Method teaches concerning its source of authority, Christ, sin, salvation, the Holy Spirit, and prayer:

1. Source of Authority. The authority for the Silva Method student is José
Silva and his official publication, THE SILVA METHOD.

2. Jesus Christ. The Silva Method teaches that Jesus did miracles in
the same way that the Silva Method teaches its students. The Bible
teaches that Jesus was not doing miracles by mind over matter. He did them by the power of His Father. Silva's Method fails to differentiate between
the miraculous, genuine supernatural power of God and that which man
attributes to his own mind, which is nothing more than the usurping of the
authority of God and trying to be little gods themselves.

Silva Method also teaches that "Rabbi Jesus was assigned by Almighty
God of the Universe to Planet Earth to teach humanity, in a step-by-step
procedure, how to look for and find what is called the kingdom of God
within us all. ... Jesus came to give us a message to correct the
problem of human development on this planet because Moses didn't do it and
Noah didn't do it, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob didn't ... Zoroaster, Krishna,
Buddha, Mohammed didn't do it. So Jesus finally came to straighten out
their mess and problem ..." Silva says that Jesus said that we are to go
into an alpha state (an altered state of consciousness) with our spirit
guides, thus gaining the psychic powers necessary to correct the human
situation. (Silva also says, "Jesus is not coming back, so we've got to
do it. But He gave us the keys; He gave us the message. Look inside;
find this power; you've got the power, and you can make Earth 'paradise
earth.'")

3. Sin. Silva denies original sin and sees only "problems to be
solved." Silva teaches that the present is a process of materializing
thoughts, while the future is composed of conceived thoughts not yet
materialized. He talks about being able to prophesy, a process of projecting into
thought patterns to see if we can detect information that can help us
solve problems. According to the Silva Method, this information is for
no other thing than for solving problems -- "to make this planet a
better world to live in. ... if you get information to solve problems, where
people are suffering, and you do alleviate that suffering and you
correct the problem, who cares where the information comes from? The idea is
to get it any way you can to stop a problem and forget everything else."
Silva's done away with the blood of Jesus Christ; he's done away with the
sacrificial death of Christ for our sins. According to the Silva
Method, it's not a sin problem anymore; it's ignorance!

4. Salvation. Since Silva believes that we have been sent to the planet
to solve problems (i.e., "to convert this planet into a paradise"),
salvation is earned by one's success in problem-solving. The emphasis is
one of total pragmatism. But just the fact that one is solving problems
does not answer whether an activity is right or pleasing to God. "Positive" results can occur through the occult or psychic worlds.

Being "born again" also has a unique meaning for Silva Method
practitioners: "When we enter the kingdom of heaven, once there, we become
centered and have access to the use of the right brain hemisphere ... This
would truly be the concept of being born again ... being 'born again.'
means, 'Go back and retrace your steps and use the right
brain hemisphere like you did when you were born.' ... when you
use both brain hemispheres, that is really being born again."
Silva sums up what salvation is not in the Silva Method: "Somebody who
died 1,900 years ago or 2,000 years ago, his blood cleansing us from sin
and so forth, that doesn't help solve problems today." Salvation for
Silva leads the lost away from the sacrifice of Christ for their sins
upon the cross. They don't need that anymore. All they require is alpha in
the right brain.

The message of the Silva Method is one of complete rejection of the
redemptive work of Jesus Christ upon the cross, i.e., a claim that we have
power within us. Silva overlooks the central problem of evil in the
human heart, the sinful nature of man, to which Jesus specifically said, "I
come not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." One hears no
repentance from Silva, no acknowledgment of any real guilt. Instead,
it's just something that's a state of mind that you can get rid of by
going into your alpha level.

5. Holy Spirit. In the Silva Method, the Holy Spirit is a "dimension
that we can create -- a state of mind to enter it and make use of it for
problem-solving situations. ... We were sent to do a work for God --
help God with creation in thinking of His creatures."

Rather than the Holy Spirit as Counselor, on the third day of Silva
Method training, students are asked to pick two counselors. The lecturer
explains how to invoke them. In the last session, during meditation,
two counselors appear in the laboratory of the student's mind and are available from that point on whenever the student needs them.
 
Silva says that you consult your counselors anytime you find yourself with a problem and 
do not know what to do next: "They are here
to do the work for you; they are here to help you evolve ... become ...
as good as they are, whoever they are." This, of course, is spiritism;
and the nature of spiritism is ultimately demonic. One can hear the
same things from mediums and spiritists who talk to their advisors or
their spirit guides or counselors, all of which is prohibited by Scripture
(cf. Deut. 18).

6. Prayer. For Silva, praying is psychic -- the use of mind: "... we're
praying; we're using psychic systems to pray, to visualize ... imagine
what's to happen, and believe that you already have it and you shall
receive it." (Sounds like the "name-it-and-claim-it" teaching of the
Positive Confession movement.)

Aromatherapy Oils Therapy

Discovery Health Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy - from an advertisement for aromatherapy: "...aromatherapists, practitioners of alternative medicine, and anyone wishing to use aromatherapy to maintain a peaceful equilibrium or bring about positive change, this book concentrates on the mood-changing effects of natural oils. "A good addition to alternative medicine collections."--

"Aromatherapy may be traced back over centuries. In ancient Egypt, herbal oils were used to embalm the dead. It was the Arab physician Avicenna who developed the distillation method we use today. It was then brought to Europe by the Knights Templar..." 

"Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for therapeutic 8 effects. For thousands of years, essential oils have been revered for their fragrance and restorative effects on the body, mind 9, and spirit." 

"Ancient Healing Art creates balanced blends to promote 11:

calmness
emotional and hormonal balance
stress relief
rejuvenation, and more. 

Many Christians are taking and applying the oils used in aromatherapy as a form of Biblical anointing. They use it when someone is ill, declaring that the Bible condones this. Yes, we read of many instances where oils and perfumes were used. There's nothing wrong with them per se. Many women prepare particular oils and anoint the sick in direct Biblical disobedience. The anointing that was to be done was only for illness under certain circumstances. A cure is never guaranteed, based on God's will for a person's life, and it was not the oil that had the healing effect. James 5:14-15

Is anyone sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Dowsing and Aromatherapy: "Dowsing is an age-old means of tapping our beings' unconscious or intuitive nature. It is used to answer questions. ... The instrument used for dowsing is called a pendulum. A pendulum is usually some type of small object hung on a cord...A pendulum that points towards the bottom is most effective.

The pendulum swings with its own force, with no motion from your hand, when you ask a question (either out loud or mentally). It will turn in one direction for yes and another for no. ...Determine the direction of a yes response and a no response before using the pendulum. To do this, you can ask, "What is the direction for yes?" then ask, "What is the direction for no?". Another way is to ask a question that you know is true or false. For example - you can ask, "Is my name Kelly"?; then ask, "Is my name (and use your name)"? The swing of a pendulum for a yes / no answer may vary from one person to another and from one pendulum to another.

Once you know the direction in which your pendulum swings, you are ready to use dowsing for inner guidance. Be sure to phrase your questions for a yes or a no answer. At times, the swing may have more incredible speed. This may be understood as a more "insistent" answer to your question. 

Many pregnant women have inadvertently used dowsing to determine whether they are carrying a boy or girl. When I was 19, I was told about this practice by an older "Christian" woman who advocated its use. It sickens my heart to understand how easy it is to be pulled into the occult.

Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
