movement, and the “dialogue” crowd is Christian only in name, but is New Age in outlook and essence.
Doctrines Of The Movement
New Age doctrines are a vast collection of flexible and fuzzy philosophies based primarily upon Eastern Philosophy and Mysticism. Consequently, every religion and philosophy in the world is welcome here except the historic Christian faith. The following are some of the major tenets of the New Age.
1-The world and God are one and the same in essence, but appear as different to humans. Actually every person is a part of God, and the very God himself.
2-As a consequence of the above, no one is a sinner in the absolute sense. Sin is only ignorance and illusion. Even the perceived world is an illusion. Escape from this illusion and recognizing that one is part of God is the key to salvation.
3-Christ is not the name of a historical person. Rather it is the name of a Cosmic Spirit called the Cosmic Christ. We can also rise to the same level of this Cosmic Christ (who is actually Lucipher).
4-Salvation can be attained through any religion (except perhaps the Evangelical Christian faith). All religions, faiths, and even Occult practices lead people to the same blessed salvation.
5-The Universe is controlled by a hierarchy of invisible spirits. Humans can also join this hierarchy, and rise to higher levels. The highest hierarchy is called “Masters Of The Universe”, and these ten or so many Masters reside in a secret place in Tibbet. Above them is the Occultic spirit being called “Cosmic Christ”.
6-Bible is NOT to be read an understood in its plain (direct) meaning, but only though its hidden and mystical meaning. Only Occultists know this
