What is the New Age? That is the first question asked of anyone. It is very difficult to bring together a precise definition of what the New Age is, however it is not new, it is as old as sin itself. Gen 3:1 -6 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.Like the promise of the serpent, the New Age teaches that: 1. God's Word cannot be trusted entirely 2. Man does not have to die 3. Man can become a god 4. Man can evolve through hidden knowledge Roots of the New Age can be found in several major religious groups: 1. Witchcraft and Shamanism (prehistoric) 2. Astrology (c.2000 b.c.) 3. Hinduism and Yoga (c. 1800 b.c.) Where can we find the recent doctrinal ancestors of the New Age movement? 1. Swedenborgianism (c.1792) a) communication with the dead b) spiritual evolution 2. Mormonism (c. 1830) a) man can become a god b) preexistence c) salvation through secret knowledge d) confusion between matter and spirit 3. Spiritualism a) belief in communication with the dead b) cultivation of mediumistic powers (channeling) c) reincarnation 4. Christian Science and the Mind Science Cults (c. 1862) a) God is a force, not a person b) mind can control matter; reality is what you make of it c) sin does not exist, nor does death 5. The Theosophical Society and Lucis Trust a) Christianity considered as deevolutionary b) belief in Ascended Masters who guide the earth c) "root races" and an evolutionary "Plan" for mankind d) "spiritual racism" and anti-Semitism What are some New Age Definitions to know? 1. God: No personal God at all; just a cosmic force, a fragment of which is in us; therefore we are gods. There is often a male/female polarity in this "force" (yin/yang). 2. Jesus: A man who evolved into an Ascended Master (god-like being) through occult and metaphysical disciplines. 3. Christ: An impersonal "force" that rested on the man Jesus and made him special, but which has also rested on others, and can even rest on us. 4. The Bible: At best a work of cabalistic secrets that can only be understood by "Masters." At worst a stupid book of Jewish legends. 5. Salvation: By works of occult discipline. The law of karma is irresistible and is what judges us. 6. Denial of Death: Belief in reincarnation. Most New Agers believe that humans can evolve into gods through many lifetimes. 7. Magical Worldview: View of universe as a machine that can be manipulated through sophisticated mental and spiritual technology---no sovereign God. 8. Intolerance of Monotheism: Jews, Christians, and Muslims are regarded as counterrevolutionary. They must either evolve or be purified. The "New Age" (or Self-Help) Movement, is a broad-based amalgam of spiritual, social, and political elements with the common aim of transforming individuals and society through a diverse and non-biblical spiritual awareness. The New Age is a utopian vision, an era of harmony and progress with mother earth and nature. Comprising individuals, activist groups, businesses, professional groups, and spiritual leaders and followers, the movement brought feminist, ecological, spiritual, and human-potential concerns into the mainstream in the 1980s, creating a large market in the United States and other countries for books, magazines, audio and videotapes, workshops, retreats, and expositions on the subject, as well as for natural foods, crystals, and meditation and healing aids. Often seen as resurgent paganism or Gnosticism, the modern movement has more recent roots in 19th-century spiritualism and in the 1960s counter culture, which rejected materialism in favor of Eastern mysticism and preferred direct spiritual experience to organized religion. Techniques for self-improvement and the idea that the individual is responsible for and capable of everything from self-healing to creating the world, have found applications in health care and counseling as well as in sports, the armed forces, and corporations and have provoked debate in religious and other circles. Holistic thinking has influenced attitudes about medicine, the environment, the family, work, regional planning, and world peace, among others. Ideas frequently associated with the New Age movement include anthropomorphical teachings, inner transformation, reincarnation, extraterrestrial life, biofeedback, chanting, alchemy, yoga, transpersonal psychology, shamanism, martial arts, the occult, astrology, psychic healing, extrasensory perception, divination, astral travel, acupuncture, massage, tarot, Zen, mythology, and visualization. It is therefore important that we note the History behind these diverse uprisings which are beginning to resurface on American soil. Because this Land allows freedom of religion, cults, Satanists, pagans, and other diverse movements have a free walk, a free speech and free growth in our society. Is this morally right? Not if your a follower of Christ. All these diverse practices are rooted in ancient practices which clearly defy the instruction of the written word of God (as defined in the OT Torah, and the NT Gospel and Epistles). Many of these followings are rooted in ancient Satanic ritualism. Sacrifices (animal, and in some deeper occultic channels "human sacrifice"), blood letting, dancing across or around the fire, lighting candles or incense in observance of the various Gods or spirits of the earth, emulations, sorcery, witchcraft and the like, are all defined in the word of God as "of the devil". Whether the followers of these groups proclaim they follow Satan or not, the word of God proclaims, if they image the any of the above practices, they indeed do follow him. Many who follow these groups may or may not understand or perceive their following as rebellion to God. But the Word of God clearly states the following:
Make your own conclusion, for that passage is quoted by Jesus himself. In these studies we shall observe the roots of these practices, all in an attempt to open our eyes to the light of Christ. Only then can we judge for ourselves whether these practices are of God, his will, his word, or of Satan, and the Carnal will of man. Satan is described as "the father of all lies and deception" in the Holy Bible. History has shown Satan to Mimic God, in an attempt to make himself a God to be worshiped through unknowing practices.

New Schools
A huge deception the New Age Movement has caused is the false teaching of Theophostics. There are some links below that can help you to understand why this is a false teaching and a death blow to the Body of Christ. There are many following this doctrine of demons and are being led astray and others that still might fall away because of this lie.
Violent programs on television lead to aggressive behavior by children and teenagers who watch those programs. That's the word from a 1982 report by the National Institute of Mental Health, a report that confirmed and extended an earlier study done by the Surgeon General. As a result of these and other research findings, the American Psychological Association passed a resolution in February 1985 informing broadcasters and the public of the potential dangers that viewing violence on television can have for children.
Public Schools Promote New Age "Parents give up their rights when they drop the children off at public school."1 Texas Federal District Judge Melinda Harmon
The PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM promotes New Age, the occult, a Homosexual Agenda, humanism, evolution, and even lies to parents about vaccines. Even more sinister is the diabolic New World Order agenda to brainwash our children and turn them against God.
WARNING: GRAPHIC ARTICLE New Age in Public Schools :: By Craig BranchMany parents and Christians are unaware of the steady flood of New Age / occult curriculum in our public schools. Watchman Fellowship has been attempting to respond effectively to numerous incidents in Alabama and other parts of the country. The fact is that there is a growing constituency of professional educators who are either personally involved in the New Age Movement or are being influenced by those who are. Their goal is to transform our educational system by the implementation of eastern mystical presuppositions, techniques, and practices into the curriculum of our schools. Common terms used to identify these beliefs and practices are "transpersonal education" or "integrative education." A very helpful source of information is the text book The Aquarian Conspiracy by New Age leader and sociologist Marilyn Ferguson. The book outlines the overall goals, objectives and proponents of the New Age movement. Concerning education she writes, "Of the Aquarian Conspirators surveyed, more were involved in education than any other single category of work." "They were teachers, administrators, policymakers, educational psychologists. They are heroes in education trying to transcend the limits of old structure; but their efforts are too often thwarted by peers, administrators, and parents. "Mario Fantini, former Ford consultant on education, now at State University of New York, said bluntly, `The psychology of becoming has to be smuggled into the schools'" (pp. 280-281). These "heroes" believe that each child innately possesses all knowledge, wisdom, creativity, power, and perfection within himself, in his "intuitive" or "higher self." These are eastern mystical religious beliefs and the techniques utilized to achieve or "realize" this potential are identically the same as many eastern practices to achieve "enlightenment." Ferguson goes on to state, "The deliberate use of consciousness expanding techniques in education, only recently well underway, is new in mass schooling. Altered states of consciousness are taken seriously: `centering' exercises, meditation, relaxation, and fantasy are used to keep the intuitive pathways open and whole brain learning. There are techniques to encourage body awareness: breathing, relaxation, yoga, movement, biofeedback," (The Aquarian Conspiracy, pp. 295, 315). These curriculums have been introduced through health programs, counseling modules, literature and creative writing courses, stress reduction programs, self-esteem modules and gifted children's programs. The pattern is basically the same. The students - kindergarten through college - are introduced to what are called progressive relaxation techniques, which are exactly the same procedures of hypnosis and meditation. The techniques include alternate muscle tension-relaxing, deep diaphragm breathing, alternate nostril breathing, guided imagery and visualization exercises, autogenics (repeating a mantra or repeating "My body is getting heavier") and maintaining a passive mental state. In one module we challenged called "Peace, Harmony, and Awareness," part of the A.P.P.L.E. program, the child having been taught how to put himself into this altered state of consciousness, was introduced to a white rabbit in his "secret place," using guided imagery (post-hypnotic suggestion). The child could then ask the rabbit (spirit guide or higher self) any question and the answer or solution would come. These approaches in education are appalling. They are illegal, unethical, and are without scientific validity. The approach is a violation of the establishment clause of the First Amendment. It is unethical in that the real nature is obscured or hidden behind secular jargon and nomenclature. If parents realized that their children were being exposed to trance induction techniques (hypnosis, meditation) they would vigorously protest and withdraw their children. It is up to Christians to be very much involved with their child's education. Ask your children about what they are doing in school. Ask them about relaxation techniques, centering and visualization exercises. We also came across some seminar notes from a New Age organization that was given at the Boston House of Theosophy. It is a revealing document about how the New Agers have really infiltrated every aspect of the way of life. After reading these notes, it is plain to see that the very people pushing for this to happen is the head of this Luciferian Doctrine - the freemasons.
