4 – East Seduces the West

1
00:00:00,910 –> 00:00:02,550
Hello, I’m Chuck Smith.

2
00:00:02,870 –> 00:00:04,966
And I’m Carol Madriciana.

3
00:00:05,098 –> 00:00:08,670
Welcome to another edition of the Pagan Invasion.

4
00:00:09,230 –> 00:00:19,050
Today, an obvious shift in the religious inclination of Western culture is seen in the fashionable race of popular paganism and Eastern mysticism.

5
00:00:19,610 –> 00:00:38,310
Until recently, the foundational establishment of North America and Europe was proud to further such biblical concepts as faith in a divine supernatural being, his intervention in creation, and his standards of truth as seen in divine laws of morality.

6
00:00:39,050 –> 00:00:48,934
Today, these principles have been replaced with belief in mythology of pagan gods and goddesses, evolution, and shifting values.

7
00:00:49,102 –> 00:01:02,120
Prestigious traditional establishments like the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts, YWCAs, and the YMCAs have included a potpourry of new age paganism into their program.

8
00:01:02,690 –> 00:01:10,890
Instead of pursuing their original Christian goals, they now endorse Buddhist and Hindu rituals such as tai chi and yoga.

9
00:01:11,450 –> 00:01:18,630
The promise of power is at the core of paganism sharminism, witchcraft, the new age and Eastern mysticism.

10
00:01:18,950 –> 00:01:23,506
It has been seductively packaged as human potential and mind science.

11
00:01:23,638 –> 00:01:39,570
Across the nation, from classrooms to corporate businesses, motivational gurus are being hired by America’s corporate giants to stimulate selfrealization and teach their employees eastern occultic meditation techniques.

12
00:01:40,130 –> 00:02:05,190
While virtually no evidence verifies increase in productivity or performance, companies such as TRW, Ford Motor Company, Proctor and Gamble, Polaroid, Hewlett Packard, At, Amp, T, IBM, Coca Cola, to name but a few, continue to require their employees to participate in occult, mental alchemy and Eastern religious transformation.

13
00:02:06,050 –> 00:02:18,320
Pacific Bell, California’s largest utility company, requires at 650 employees to learn mindaltering meditations as part of their employee training program.

14
00:02:19,370 –> 00:02:25,590
Most prominent bookstores now carry rapidly growing and financially lucrative new age sections.

15
00:02:26,150 –> 00:02:33,630
These books introduce their oftentimes naive readers to occultism, shamanism and other pagan practices.

16
00:02:34,850 –> 00:02:45,690
Mental health professionals have found it necessary to organize spiritual emergency support groups to help those overwhelmed by dangerous occultic encounters.

17
00:02:46,190 –> 00:02:58,950
They warned that parapsychological techniques such as hypnosis, visualization contact with inner guides, and regression into past lives can have bizarre and dangerous results.

18
00:02:59,510 –> 00:03:09,260
The Psychosynthesis Institute states that the use of the imagination is one of the most rapidly spreading new trends in psychology and education.

19
00:03:10,130 –> 00:03:18,030
Surprisingly, this powerful form of primitive occultism has even infiltrated today’s mainline churches.

20
00:03:18,470 –> 00:03:30,030
Promoted under the guise of Christian psychology, creative visualization is often practiced and falsely presented as a biblically acceptable technique.

21
00:03:31,850 –> 00:03:54,090
Is there an organization behind the promotion of this new awakening of the divine consciousness? Many experts believe that the Hindu Vishwa parishad, an Indian missionary organization made up of celebrated Hindu religious leaders, is one of the main motivational thrust behind today’s aggressive pagan evangelism to the west.

22
00:03:54,410 –> 00:04:00,030
We begin our report in India, the headquarters of Hindu Vishva parashad.

23
00:04:14,250 –> 00:04:25,502
Once a religion for Indians alone, hinduism has become radically evangelistic through adopting the principles of Christian missionaries who introduced cultural and social reforms.

24
00:04:25,526 –> 00:04:35,340
In India, in an international Hindu conference, leading Hindus planned a strategy to convert the world.

25
00:04:51,410 –> 00:04:56,190
and their tens of millions of converts are now the first Western Hindus.

26
00:05:02,490 –> 00:05:04,490
At the World Congress of Hinduism.

27
00:05:04,550 –> 00:05:12,240
In 1979, a spokesman declared that our mission in the west has been crowned with fantastic success.

28
00:05:13,110 –> 00:05:19,500
Hinduism is becoming the dominant world religion and the end of Christianity has come near.

29
00:05:21,390 –> 00:05:31,694
At the 1981 TM Conference in India, a spokesman stated that the entire mission of TMS to counter the ever spreading demon of Christianity.

30
00:05:31,802 –> 00:05:40,514
Behind today’s aggressive campaign for world Hindu domination is a secretive organization called the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

31
00:05:40,682 –> 00:05:44,890
It is the world missionary organization of Hinduism.

32
00:05:45,690 –> 00:05:57,550
Paragraph four of its constitution says that its aim is to establish an order of missionaries, both lay and initiate the purpose of propagating dynamic Hinduism.

33
00:05:58,110 –> 00:06:05,350
The Hindu Vishwa Parhishad magazine clearly states that yoga teachers throughout the world are the front missionaries of the Hindu religion.

34
00:06:05,790 –> 00:06:12,840
Western teachers themselves may not realize that they are being used by India’s Hindu leaders in this way, but they are.

35
00:06:13,170 –> 00:06:18,814
While a guru disciple, premiere was an accomplished yoga teacher for ten years.

36
00:06:18,972 –> 00:06:21,974
Yoga teachers are blind leading the blind.

37
00:06:22,142 –> 00:06:25,126
They themselves do not understand what they’re into.

38
00:06:25,248 –> 00:06:29,110
They don’t have any idea what they’re teaching.

39
00:06:30,510 –> 00:06:43,270
This is really being used to reach the souls of students and innocent people in this country and other countries who come for an exercise class.

40
00:06:43,440 –> 00:06:52,010
As I look back on it, I see it was a subtle infiltrating of my beliefs and ideas.

41
00:06:52,130 –> 00:06:54,394
It totally changed my world view.

42
00:06:54,552 –> 00:06:59,470
It gave me little or no moral standards by which to guide my life.

43
00:06:59,580 –> 00:07:04,082
I was becoming a Hindu and it was a very big deception.

44
00:07:04,166 –> 00:07:18,360
The Vishwahndu Parishad plot to convert the world to Hinduism has created thousands of new age worldwide networks, with tens of millions of converts, all working for a new one world government.

45
00:07:19,110 –> 00:07:27,180
Through the repackaging of yoga, the Western mind is being systematically conditioned to accept a neopagan world view.

46
00:07:27,690 –> 00:07:40,342
Combined with new age thinking, it claims to offer more integrity, selflessness goodwill, freedom, and says it is the very alternative to Christianity’s narrow way.

47
00:07:40,536 –> 00:07:43,150
Yoga is really part of our society now.

48
00:07:43,200 –> 00:07:53,280
It’s being sold everywhere as technique for relaxation, for becoming unstressed, brighter, more beautiful.

49
00:07:54,210 –> 00:08:04,750
The selfcentered world of glamour promotes yoga, meditation and visualization techniques as a means to a healthier and more beautiful body, mind and spirit.

50
00:08:07,210 –> 00:08:12,050
Spirituality is in, but with an antibiblical meaning.

51
00:08:12,430 –> 00:08:25,670
Even relaxation has become a spiritual quest for one’s socalled full potential through holistic, massage, isolation tanks and hundreds of other new age techniques.

52
00:08:30,050 –> 00:08:41,430
Most of the 2000 YMCAs across America offer yoga classes, and nearly two thirds of all universities and colleges make yoga available as part of the curriculum.

53
00:08:42,110 –> 00:08:50,180
Many of the people practicing yoga that I have met say to me that they only practice it because of the physical benefits.

54
00:08:51,110 –> 00:08:55,590
Any Hindu will tell you, however, that there is no yoga that is purely physical.

55
00:08:55,910 –> 00:09:09,870
One of the first things I learned in my teacher’s training class was that I must talk to the students about the philosophy behind yoga, that this was just as important as the exercises.

56
00:09:10,910 –> 00:09:18,130
Relaxation at the end of yoga class is really hypnosis, where each part of the body is relaxed.

57
00:09:18,250 –> 00:09:26,458
So while they were in this state, I read to them about the Hindu philosophy or something from one of my gurus books.

58
00:09:26,554 –> 00:09:29,142
So they got it whether they wanted it or not.

59
00:09:29,276 –> 00:09:38,110
Yoga exercises were not designed for physical fitness, but to realign the serpent force within the body to achieve Godhood.

60
00:09:38,170 –> 00:09:41,350
That yoking, which is what yoga means with Brahmin.

61
00:09:41,530 –> 00:09:46,870
Anyone interested in physical fitness ought to do exercises designed for that, not yoga.

62
00:09:46,990 –> 00:09:53,638
Many hospitals have set up their own yoga and meditation classes to provide stress reduction for patients.

63
00:09:53,734 –> 00:09:55,890
Doctors and nurses.

64
00:09:56,630 –> 00:10:07,666
Doctors and dentists who wouldn’t think of promoting Christianity or Judaism on the grounds that it is religious, are unwittingly involving their patients in Hindu practices.

65
00:10:07,858 –> 00:10:11,266
The last two years, I’ve been working with some German doctors.

66
00:10:11,398 –> 00:10:14,850
That was in research of breathing exercises.

67
00:10:15,230 –> 00:10:17,190
In our Danish school.

68
00:10:17,360 –> 00:10:26,240
We get patients from the doctors typical with Baghdad, with nervous symptoms, with high blood pressure, with stress and so on.

69
00:10:32,070 –> 00:10:46,190
Appearing in the film Gods of the New Age is Dave Hunt, an internationally recognized cult expert and bestselling author of more than a dozen books dealing with Eastern mysticism, psychic phenomenon, cults, and the occult.

70
00:10:46,370 –> 00:10:52,870
I recently asked him to share his thoughts concerning the spiritual seduction of the west by the east.

71
00:10:53,670 –> 00:11:11,546
Dave, could you explain what the Vishfire Hindu parashad is? I would say the largest missionary organization in the world, whereas the Hindus will not allow you can’t go as a missionary to India, but they send their missionaries all over the world, denying that they’re missionaries.

72
00:11:11,678 –> 00:11:17,522
And Maharishi mahashogi, for example, he comes sent by his guru to convert the world to Hinduism.

73
00:11:17,666 –> 00:11:20,170
He says, it’s not religion, it’s scientific.

74
00:11:20,850 –> 00:11:29,786
It would be like the Pope running around the world saying that instead of representing a church, he represents a group of scientists headquartered in Rome.

75
00:11:29,978 –> 00:11:31,800
That’s what these men are doing.

76
00:11:32,190 –> 00:11:49,866
Dave, what are some of the conditioning processes that prepared today’s society to accept the pagan invasion? I think a disillusionment with materialism, an emptiness within which is there the God shaped vacuum.

77
00:11:50,058 –> 00:11:55,814
Unfortunately, they weren’t willing to accept it from the Bible, from the word of God.

78
00:11:55,852 –> 00:11:59,320
They were turned off on Christianity and they turned somewhere else.

79
00:11:59,890 –> 00:12:21,030
Just at that point in our society came the drug movement, the psychedelic drugs in particular, which flipped them into this state of consciousness where they made contact with a whole realm of the spirit that they didn’t believe existed.

80
00:12:21,210 –> 00:12:24,494
And now this became the real world to them.

81
00:12:24,652 –> 00:12:31,262
And in fact, it opened the door for the gurus to come from the east with the next step.

82
00:12:31,396 –> 00:12:41,418
I talked to parents all the time who say, well, my son, my daughter was on drugs, but now they’re into yoga.

83
00:12:41,454 –> 00:12:44,778
And I don’t understand this yoga thing, but thank God, at least they’re off of drugs.

84
00:12:44,814 –> 00:12:48,486
And I say, I’m sorry to tell you, drugs was the kindergarten.

85
00:12:48,618 –> 00:12:50,918
Yoga is the graduate school.

86
00:12:51,004 –> 00:12:51,854
That’s the hard stuff.

87
00:12:51,892 –> 00:12:53,982
They get a lot higher on yoga than they did on drugs.

88
00:12:54,006 –> 00:12:56,010
But there is an intimate connection.

89
00:12:56,190 –> 00:13:01,650
It’s called there are two words in Greek that are translated.

90
00:13:01,710 –> 00:13:04,122
Sorcery in the New Testament.

91
00:13:04,266 –> 00:13:06,942
One of them is Majia, you develop magic powers.

92
00:13:06,966 –> 00:13:09,522
The other one is pharmacy pharmacists.

93
00:13:09,606 –> 00:13:17,906
Which drugs come? A sorcerer is a person who takes consciousness altering drugs in order to contact spirit beings, to gain supernatural power.

94
00:13:17,968 –> 00:13:20,294
So our society was conditioned in this way.

95
00:13:20,332 –> 00:13:28,950
Then along came the Beatles and others like them, who through their music, seduced our youth further into drugs.

96
00:13:29,010 –> 00:13:36,534
Some of the rock stars call themselves shamans, witch doctors, and through this beat they get into this state and so forth.

97
00:13:36,582 –> 00:13:42,218
So our society has been conditioned in many ways to embrace this.

98
00:13:42,244 –> 00:13:51,494
And then, of course, the human potential movements, the idea that we have the power within, if we only get into an altered state where we can tap in, learn techniques for tapping this power.

99
00:13:51,652 –> 00:13:55,362
So our society has been ripened.

100
00:13:55,446 –> 00:13:57,770
We’re just ripe for this pagan invasion.

101
00:13:58,090 –> 00:14:06,402
Can you explain the difference between biblical counseling and psychology? Well, biblical counseling is based upon the Bible.

102
00:14:06,546 –> 00:14:12,386
You counsel someone from the Bible and the Bible is complete in itself.

103
00:14:12,448 –> 00:14:17,658
It claims to have all the answers that we need from a spiritual standpoint.

104
00:14:17,694 –> 00:14:27,378
It doesn’t offer us mechanical answers for our automobile or medical answers, but it does offer spiritual answers.

105
00:14:27,414 –> 00:14:37,462
Now, psychology, Carl Yoong said, psychology is the study of the sukes, the psyche, the soul.

106
00:14:37,546 –> 00:14:39,306
And he said, we don’t know what the soul is.

107
00:14:39,428 –> 00:14:41,638
So it’s another religion.

108
00:14:41,674 –> 00:14:44,010
It’s an attempt to deal with the spiritual side of man.

109
00:14:44,060 –> 00:14:50,550
From a humanistic standpoint, it does have its roots in the pagan world.

110
00:14:50,720 –> 00:15:12,750
In Eastern mysticism, for example, you can very easily see the connection between Freud’s two major theories the unconscious mind and psychic determinism that what we are today is caused by the prior experiences of our childhood.

111
00:15:13,490 –> 00:15:15,346
That’s what reincarnation teaches.

112
00:15:15,418 –> 00:15:22,760
What’s happening to me today, what I am today is the result of my prior experience, has been in a prior life, very close relationship.

113
00:15:23,150 –> 00:15:37,830
So it’s only natural then that many psychologists and psychiatrists not only regress you into your childhood, but they now take you right on through the womb into past lives, into reincarnation therapy.

114
00:15:38,210 –> 00:15:42,166
The whole idea is to manipulate reality.

115
00:15:42,358 –> 00:15:48,226
Now, the difference between that and what the Bible teaches, you’re going to have to redefine the Bible.

116
00:15:48,418 –> 00:15:52,626
Eve rebelled against God, brought a lot of problems into her life.

117
00:15:52,748 –> 00:15:57,042
Well, obviously the reason she did it was because she was abused as a child.

118
00:15:57,236 –> 00:16:01,498
She was raised in a broken home in a terrible environment.

119
00:16:01,594 –> 00:16:08,960
It was her childhood experiences, not So or Satan, who rebelled against God.

120
00:16:09,290 –> 00:16:11,926
In Isaiah 14.

121
00:16:12,058 –> 00:16:17,866
His problem was he had a bad self image, low self esteem.

122
00:16:18,058 –> 00:16:19,158
Not so.

123
00:16:19,304 –> 00:16:36,810
I would suggest that if anyone has a solution to human behavior and the evil that comes into our lives and the frustration and the unhappiness and the fears and so forth, that doesn’t fit the case of Satan or it doesn’t fit the case of Eve who was raised in a paradise.

124
00:16:37,130 –> 00:16:38,878
They don’t have the right solution.

125
00:16:39,034 –> 00:16:55,354
And unfortunately, Christians today are embracing something that they add to the Bible that comes out of Eastern mysticism, it comes out of paganism, it comes out of the old cult, it comes from Godless antichristians.

126
00:16:55,522 –> 00:17:11,010
And they’re now somehow joining Freud with Christ, Carl Rogers and Maslow and so forth for a new kind of therapy, a new kind of counseling that mixes the Bible in with humanistic psychology.

127
00:17:11,870 –> 00:17:19,890
Many doctors and nurses today are obliged to pursue folklore and shaman medical techniques labeled as scientific.

128
00:17:20,690 –> 00:17:30,450
In Britain, government finance national health, doctors advocate the practice of transcendental meditation instead of conventional medicine.

129
00:17:40,650 –> 00:17:48,850
Thousands of MDS, PhDs, chiropractors and dentists are enthusiastic proponents of newage holistic medicine.

130
00:17:49,350 –> 00:17:57,370
These new age practitioners operate from the premise that treatment of the body must begin with treatment of the mind and spirit.

131
00:17:58,530 –> 00:18:06,410
These therapies involve countless techniques, most of which incorporate altering one’s consciousness or hypnosis.

132
00:18:06,590 –> 00:18:12,398
Always part of the occult, hypnosis has become the main bridge between Hinduism and modern science.

133
00:18:12,554 –> 00:18:19,450
Hypnosis creates the same states of consciousness that you experience under drugs and in yoga.

134
00:18:20,010 –> 00:18:25,898
Accepted in medicine and psychiatry, hypnosis is the heart of self improvement.

135
00:18:25,934 –> 00:18:30,398
In positive mental attitude courses and hundreds of misinformed.

136
00:18:30,494 –> 00:18:34,538
Christian psychologists use hypnosis in their daily counseling.

137
00:18:34,634 –> 00:18:38,726
Many believe that hypnosis is okay if used by qualified counselors.

138
00:18:38,858 –> 00:18:43,526
Somehow used by the right people makes it scientific and not occultic.

139
00:18:43,718 –> 00:18:54,730
In pursuit of Freudian myths, psychiatrists use hypnosis to regress patients back into their childhood and into the womb, where they relive the traumas of their birth.

140
00:18:55,110 –> 00:19:04,030
Despite the scientific fact that the prenatal natal and early postnatal brain is not sufficiently developed to carry memories.

141
00:19:05,010 –> 00:19:10,234
I did indeed experience my original burst thought, but I felt it wasn’t enough.

142
00:19:10,332 –> 00:19:23,326
I went back and I experienced my thought during my conception, and then I went back from there to a previous lifetime to experience why I had structured my conception the way I did.

143
00:19:23,448 –> 00:19:24,398
It’s never ending.

144
00:19:24,434 –> 00:19:25,594
You can just keep going.

145
00:19:25,692 –> 00:19:33,494
Moreover, they take them right back into prior lives where they come out with factual recounting of lives they’ve lived all over this earth.

146
00:19:33,602 –> 00:19:38,470
Obviously, the memory is not coming from the brain, it’s coming from a deceptive source.

147
00:19:39,990 –> 00:20:03,074
The field of medicine is embracing numerous new age beliefs that cannot be explained scientifically, such as acupuncture, which claims to manipulate the Kundalini force with needles, and biofeedback, which uses a monitoring device to train a person to control ordinarily involuntary functions such as blood pressure.

148
00:20:03,242 –> 00:20:08,030
The Manager clinics documentary on biofeedback calls it the yoga of the west.

149
00:20:08,210 –> 00:20:17,810
Elmer and Alice Green pioneer biofeedback researchers admit that it creates the same state of consciousness and results as yoga.

150
00:20:17,930 –> 00:20:25,330
This electronic yoga has now been introduced by psychologists into the world of sports, including the Olympics.

151
00:20:26,490 –> 00:20:33,022
Businessmen are coming to yoga today because they want to be relaxed in the middle of their day.

152
00:20:33,156 –> 00:20:36,430
They want to train their ability to concentrate.

153
00:20:37,290 –> 00:20:44,410
Self help therapies are a motivational tool used by hundreds of competitive businesses across America.

154
00:20:45,870 –> 00:21:00,790
Weekend success and positive mental Attitude seminars and mail order subliminal persuasion cassettes promised to improve personal and business performance through a blend of humanistic psychology and Eastern mysticism.

155
00:21:02,790 –> 00:21:15,646
One such course called New Age thinking for developing your full potential has changed thousands of lives for such prestigious clients as the IRS, CIA, us.

156
00:21:15,708 –> 00:21:32,414
Army, Navy and Air Force, NASA, General Motors, IBM, Xerox, Rockwell International, Bell Telephone System, bank of America and scores of police and fire departments.

157
00:21:32,582 –> 00:21:47,774
The human potential movement with its emphasis upon self esteem, self love, self acceptance, a positive self image it’s simply a Westernized version of the yogi self realization, the guru’s concept of the divine.

158
00:21:47,822 –> 00:21:50,160
Within that we’re all God.

159
00:21:51,390 –> 00:21:58,694
Rolling Thunder, the Shoshani Indian medicine man has said scientists will eventually discover what pagans have always known.

160
00:21:58,802 –> 00:22:00,226
That’s exactly what’s happening.

161
00:22:00,288 –> 00:22:02,950
Through the invasion of Eastern mysticism into the west.

162
00:22:03,510 –> 00:22:09,240
Many leading scientists have enthusiastically embraced Eastern mysticism in recent years.

163
00:22:09,690 –> 00:22:17,246
Hinduism, which claims to be the oldest religion, is being deceptively packaged as the new science.

164
00:22:17,438 –> 00:22:20,582
And a lot of the yeast is very seductively packaged.

165
00:22:20,726 –> 00:22:23,638
It’s put over very carefully so that they don’t stress the religious side.

166
00:22:23,664 –> 00:22:26,494
They’ll put the scientific they don’t stress the spiritual side.

167
00:22:26,532 –> 00:22:28,342
They’ll put the physical fitness or whatever.

168
00:22:28,476 –> 00:22:31,874
The overweight seed has nothing to do with religion.

169
00:22:31,982 –> 00:22:37,034
It is scientific methods in the way that you do something and then you get results.

170
00:22:37,142 –> 00:22:41,498
Marisi found out that in the United States that people would not buy the religion package.

171
00:22:41,654 –> 00:22:50,774
So offered the scientific package started getting scientists involved, started to do experiments on meditators such as the breath rate, the brain wave patterns, etc.

172
00:22:50,822 –> 00:22:59,410
For and when they found out that the metabolic rates lowered during meditation, they found they could present it scientifically and people would buy it better that way.

173
00:22:59,520 –> 00:23:03,014
Even as teachers, we were taught the Puja ceremony.

174
00:23:03,122 –> 00:23:09,190
We’re bowing down to Hindu gods and yet we didn’t really feel we were teaching a religion.

175
00:23:09,690 –> 00:23:22,322
I think that’s extremely deceptive and dishonest because the deeper you get into it, for instance, as people are initiated and so on, what they’re taught is the Pugias and the basic words and the rituals that are Hindu worship.

176
00:23:22,466 –> 00:23:26,134
Of course, many Englishmen and Americans don’t realize what the words mean.

177
00:23:26,172 –> 00:23:33,938
But if they just asked what the Sanskrit meant, they’d realize that’s fundamentally religious and the whole thing is basically, in that sense, dishonest.

178
00:23:34,094 –> 00:23:35,230
Children practice it.

179
00:23:35,280 –> 00:23:37,210
It is used for teaching languages.

180
00:23:37,950 –> 00:23:41,546
It is used for the businessmen for all levels of society.

181
00:23:41,678 –> 00:23:43,274
It’s taught in the schools.

182
00:23:43,382 –> 00:23:55,680
In schools across the Western world, from kindergarten through university, hindu occultism is being openly taught in spite of the otherwise enforced separation between church and state.

183
00:23:57,690 –> 00:24:02,770
Guru Thakar Singh was invited to speak at a high school in Southern California.

184
00:24:03,090 –> 00:24:11,110
Kurt, a student there, became so overwhelmed that he actually moved to India, where he is now a devoted follower of Thakar.

185
00:24:11,610 –> 00:24:15,670
It’s only half an hour talk and 20 minutes of meditation.

186
00:24:16,410 –> 00:24:25,402
And the experience I had while there was like nothing I’d ever experienced before.

187
00:24:25,596 –> 00:24:40,750
And just the air, the energy in the chapel where he was speaking was just electrified with feelings of love and just a peace, a hushed quiet that was just bewildering to me.

188
00:24:40,920 –> 00:25:00,458
It seems outrageous that in public schools across America, where Christian prayer has been outlawed, yoga, Eastern meditation, and visualization techniques, which are simply forms of Hindu prayer, are not only allowed, they’re being actively promoted here in some of the schools in the west.

189
00:25:00,614 –> 00:25:19,942
In the PE classes, after having started with the physical aspects of yoga, the teacher eventually has the kids chanting words like om, Rama, or Krishna, names of the gods, starting right down from the teacher to the student.

190
00:25:20,076 –> 00:25:26,026
We learned that the yoga could really help the kids reduce tension and center themselves.

191
00:25:26,208 –> 00:25:31,260
Many teachers are now being encouraged to develop a mass consciousness among the students.

192
00:25:31,710 –> 00:25:32,590
Relax.

193
00:25:33,510 –> 00:25:36,310
We’re going to very slowly lift our hands up.

194
00:25:36,420 –> 00:25:44,054
Children are taught to let go of their critical faculties and center in on their intuitive feelings and experiences.

195
00:25:44,222 –> 00:25:47,170
Just really, really relax.

196
00:25:47,850 –> 00:25:57,250
Imagine that you’re on top of a really soft and fluffy cloud when you’re just really relaxed, comfortable.

197
00:25:57,810 –> 00:26:00,780
Just see that blue sky in your mind.

198
00:26:09,310 –> 00:26:13,770
Visualization is an important pagan concept and technique.

199
00:26:13,890 –> 00:26:16,730
This is being used by seminaries and pastors today.

200
00:26:16,780 –> 00:26:23,450
Can you make any comments on this? The most powerful occult technique is visualization.

201
00:26:25,330 –> 00:26:28,430
Now, there’s nothing wrong with visualization.

202
00:26:29,050 –> 00:26:54,530
If I’m reading a novel and I see the scene that the novelist is painting in his rich descriptive language, or if I’m planning a house and we’re visualizing the way the rooms will be laid out, or I’m seeing in my mind the vacation spot where I was last year or whatever, there’s a legitimate use to visualization.

203
00:26:55,630 –> 00:27:09,334
But if I think that I can create reality with my mind, or that I can make contact with God by visualizing, that is called divination in the Bible.

204
00:27:09,502 –> 00:27:14,982
That is the fastest way to step into the O cult and all the occultists recognize it.

205
00:27:15,056 –> 00:27:19,340
And we are being taught in the church today to go back in the past.

206
00:27:19,790 –> 00:27:22,830
We’re going to heal these hurts from their childhood.

207
00:27:23,930 –> 00:27:25,590
We go back in the past.

208
00:27:25,760 –> 00:27:27,918
And visualize yourself as a child.

209
00:27:28,004 –> 00:27:35,014
See Jesus coming alongside of you and so forth, or you want to get in touch with Jesus.

210
00:27:35,062 –> 00:27:37,986
There are prayer techniques now, two way dialogue with God.

211
00:27:38,048 –> 00:27:45,260
You visualize God and you focus on this image, it will speak to you.

212
00:27:46,370 –> 00:28:03,258
There are people who get into inner healing, and they visualize Jesus, and suddenly they say, it was no longer my mind in control, but this image that I have conjured up in my mind of Jesus took on its own life and began to talk to me and guide me.

213
00:28:03,284 –> 00:28:05,574
Now, they’ve made contact with the spirit world.

214
00:28:05,732 –> 00:28:14,082
And you don’t call from the right hand of the Father on high, the Son of God, as your private guru to appear before you and talk to you anytime you please.

215
00:28:14,156 –> 00:28:19,342
Now, if Jesus chooses to appear to someone, I’m not against visions.

216
00:28:19,486 –> 00:28:23,506
If Jesus appears to you, I’ve got nothing against that, if it’s really Jesus.

217
00:28:23,698 –> 00:28:28,146
But if you initiate this, you cause it to happen.

218
00:28:28,328 –> 00:28:30,106
That’s called divination.

219
00:28:30,238 –> 00:28:34,158
And God is not going to be at your whim, and he’s not going to come.

220
00:28:34,304 –> 00:28:40,090
Now, you could take a popular book on meditation out there celebration, discipline.

221
00:28:40,270 –> 00:28:47,386
And in it, I think of around page 15, the author he talks about John Was in the Spirit of the Lord’s Day at the beginning of Revelation.

222
00:28:47,458 –> 00:28:59,794
And then he says, could it be that John Was schooled in a way of making contact that we have lost and we now need to recover? That’s a technique.

223
00:28:59,962 –> 00:29:04,434
The idea that there is some kind of a technique, it simply is not true.

224
00:29:04,592 –> 00:29:06,066
Man wants to play God.

225
00:29:06,188 –> 00:29:12,870
Oh, sure, he says he wants God to help him, but he wants God to bless his plans.

226
00:29:13,670 –> 00:29:20,370
Even for many of us who call ourselves Christians, prayer is a religious technique to get our own way.

227
00:29:20,480 –> 00:29:25,962
We set our sights on what we want, and we spend the sweet hour of prayer trying to talk God into working it out for us.

228
00:29:25,976 –> 00:29:33,980
And if somebody comes along who offers a technique in how to get God to do it, get what we want, that’s rebellion, really.

229
00:29:34,670 –> 00:29:40,674
The Gospel Jesus said, except you deny self, take up the cross and follow me.

230
00:29:40,712 –> 00:29:42,330
You can’t be my disciple.

231
00:29:43,130 –> 00:29:46,966
Yoga is self realization, human potential.

232
00:29:47,098 –> 00:29:54,582
This whole pagan invasion teaches me to realize my powers, the potential that I have within.

233
00:29:54,716 –> 00:30:11,922
And so all religion, unless it is submission to Jesus Christ as Lord is really rebellion against God, is trying to find a God that I can mold into my image and a God who will bless my plans and a God who will do what I want him to do.

234
00:30:12,116 –> 00:30:28,530
Dave, can you talk about how the entertainment industry is promoting pagan ideas? I think the most powerful medium for manipulating our thinking is films, television.

235
00:30:30,530 –> 00:30:35,322
And we’re getting it all the time.

236
00:30:35,456 –> 00:30:43,958
There films that give you the idea that you can contact the dead.

237
00:30:44,114 –> 00:30:54,698
Very appealing, like Ghosts, the number one money maker of 1990 in the United States, that when you die.

238
00:30:54,734 –> 00:31:01,802
You don’t really die, but you move on into graduate school to continue to learn your lessons and you can be sort of a spirit guide.

239
00:31:01,826 –> 00:31:04,454
I mean, you had the same idea in Star Wars.

240
00:31:04,502 –> 00:31:11,230
When Obiwan died, he became the spirit guide for Luke Skywalker and communicated with him and so forth.

241
00:31:11,610 –> 00:31:13,594
This is a pagan idea.

242
00:31:13,752 –> 00:31:18,910
It’s been around for thousands of years, and it’s being embraced now in the Western world.

243
00:31:19,020 –> 00:31:31,534
The idea that we can develop supernatural powers again, back to creating reality with our mind, back to the lie of the serpent, the garden, that I can become a god on my own.

244
00:31:31,572 –> 00:31:32,062
Now.

245
00:31:32,196 –> 00:31:37,510
It’s in children’s cartoons from the smurfs to the masters of the universe.

246
00:31:38,130 –> 00:31:46,466
You’ve got your little granddaughter running around saying, shira, princess of power, and I don’t need Jesus.

247
00:31:46,598 –> 00:31:48,070
I’ve got Shirah.

248
00:31:49,830 –> 00:31:54,866
Now, in one sense, you could say, well, this sort of thing has been around forever.

249
00:31:54,938 –> 00:31:57,026
Fairy tales and so forth.

250
00:31:57,158 –> 00:31:58,860
There’s a big difference today.

251
00:31:59,250 –> 00:32:05,006
When I was a boy growing up and I read Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon, it was fantasy.

252
00:32:05,198 –> 00:32:08,302
Today, that’s no longer the attitude of our young people.

253
00:32:08,376 –> 00:32:10,522
For one good reason.

254
00:32:10,716 –> 00:32:14,830
Science fiction proved to be predictive prophetic.

255
00:32:15,570 –> 00:32:16,298
The HG.

256
00:32:16,334 –> 00:32:21,850
Wells and the science fiction writers from the past were profits.

257
00:32:22,230 –> 00:32:30,094
When I grew up and I read about space travel and all this kind of stuff, television, et cetera, we laughed at it.

258
00:32:30,252 –> 00:32:31,270
It happened.

259
00:32:31,440 –> 00:32:41,354
So the kids that are watching television and seeing these science fiction films today, they look upon this as something that can be attained.

260
00:32:41,402 –> 00:32:42,874
Yes, we can attain it.

261
00:32:42,972 –> 00:32:49,440
So they are seduced into this whole world of magic in a way that I never was as a child when I grew up.

262
00:32:50,070 –> 00:32:58,260
While the classrooms have become the pulpits for new age Hindu occultism, another major source of influence is the media.

263
00:33:08,590 –> 00:33:19,310
One of the ways that the consciousness of the masses can most powerfully be influenced is through the mass media, which is increasingly being used for promoting Indian consciousness.

264
00:33:22,190 –> 00:33:27,358
The film Gandhi was probably the most effective piece of Indian propaganda to invade the west.

265
00:33:27,454 –> 00:33:34,594
It was a political advertisement, controlled and heavily financed by the Indian government and promoted by the peace movement.

266
00:33:34,762 –> 00:33:44,014
It propagates a false message of Hindu religious tolerance and nonviolence historical accuracy was discarded.

267
00:33:44,182 –> 00:33:59,986
Gandhi was no different from most gurus today in that he was a sexual pervert and was certainly not the nonviolent peace loving man as demonstrated in his racial killings of blacks in the Kafir wars in South Africa.

268
00:34:00,118 –> 00:34:10,170
The most important message of the film was that Gandhi was one of the first gurus to link Christianity and Hinduism to form one package, a new religion.

269
00:34:10,790 –> 00:34:14,134
I consider him to be one of the fathers of the new age movement.

270
00:34:14,302 –> 00:34:21,682
So many of the most popular films today, like Close Encounters, Poltergeist, Et, Return of the Jedi.

271
00:34:21,826 –> 00:34:24,910
Star wars are all based upon Hinduism.

272
00:34:25,090 –> 00:34:30,010
For example, the force has a dark and a light side that’s black magic and white magic.

273
00:34:30,190 –> 00:34:33,154
The doorway into the old colt is an altered state of consciousness.

274
00:34:33,202 –> 00:34:36,082
This is the way that obiwan initiates Luke into the Force.

275
00:34:36,226 –> 00:34:38,158
He has working a laser sword.

276
00:34:38,254 –> 00:34:40,278
He says, look, your problem is you’re trying to think.

277
00:34:40,304 –> 00:34:45,150
He puts a visor on his face so he can’t see, and he says, look, you got to tune it out and let the Force take over.

278
00:34:45,260 –> 00:34:47,190
That’s an alter state of consciousness.

279
00:34:50,190 –> 00:34:51,670
In the Empire Strikes Back.

280
00:34:51,720 –> 00:34:52,898
Yoda is a yogi.

281
00:34:52,994 –> 00:34:58,598
He’s got Luke standing on his head going through various contortions to develop the mine power to raise a spaceship out of the swamp.

282
00:34:58,634 –> 00:35:00,562
And when Luke can’t do it, Yoda does.

283
00:35:00,696 –> 00:35:03,394
And Luke looks on and says, I don’t believe it.

284
00:35:03,492 –> 00:35:05,290
And Yoda says, that’s your problem.

285
00:35:05,400 –> 00:35:06,694
In other words, it’s all in the mind.

286
00:35:06,732 –> 00:35:08,460
If you would only believe it would happen.

287
00:35:08,850 –> 00:35:16,990
A child can understand the dark and light side of the Force, and to understand the Force is to understand basic Hinduism.

288
00:35:19,570 –> 00:35:36,880
George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars series, is in real life a devout believer in the Force, which he says can enable anyone to read minds, see past and future events, levitate and plug into another world of psychic energy.

289
00:35:37,630 –> 00:35:53,210
We are raising an entire generation of children under the bombardment of cartoons and television shows and fantasy roleplaying games and movies that are telling them that the occult and Eastern philosophy is a wonderful thing.

290
00:35:53,320 –> 00:35:54,698
Not something to be afraid of.

291
00:35:54,724 –> 00:35:56,810
Not something ugly and fearful.

292
00:35:57,130 –> 00:35:58,334
But something beautiful.

293
00:35:58,432 –> 00:36:00,726
With the darling reptilian creatures.

294
00:36:00,858 –> 00:36:09,350
With the great psychic powers that are drawing these children into an acceptance of things that are dangerous beyond anyone’s comprehension.

295
00:36:11,050 –> 00:36:23,920
The minds of children are being trained in the use of the supernatural and taught the principle of creating what seems like reality through Hindu psychospiritual techniques of mind power.

296
00:36:24,730 –> 00:36:36,410
Dungeons and Dragons, for example, requires participants to mentally murder, rape, torture, and otherwise commit mayhem with the aid of occultic powers.

297
00:36:37,150 –> 00:36:43,086
In at least one popular game, hindu deities like the goddess Kali are invoked.

298
00:36:43,278 –> 00:36:52,446
Hindu religious techniques, including repeated chants, visualization and casting spells, are used to overcome enemies.

299
00:36:52,578 –> 00:37:07,074
For your students who are new to our fantasy games class, today we’re going to be playing Dungeons and Dragons, and I’d like to talk about a few of the advantages of using Dungeons and Dragons in a classroom.

300
00:37:07,122 –> 00:37:10,946
You may be wondering why you get to play games in school time.

301
00:37:11,068 –> 00:37:16,000
These games are used in gifted children’s programs throughout the United States.

302
00:37:16,690 –> 00:37:25,710
A clear majority of state supported schools and colleges incorporate them into their curriculum, and we call it an integrated curriculum.

303
00:37:25,770 –> 00:37:27,940
You guys are kind of familiar with that.

304
00:37:30,130 –> 00:37:42,710
You may encounter some violent creatures on the way, but the object is to be able to dispose of this ring that is the symbol of evil in the kingdom of Middle Earth.

305
00:37:49,910 –> 00:38:02,180
As we look at the fruit of Eastern religion, we see in India, the poverty that is there, the ignorance, the superstition, it seems.

306
00:38:02,510 –> 00:38:24,150
Just totally unthinkable that in our Western culture that has been so blessed because of the Christian influence that we would leave the Christian influence and begin to embrace the religious thoughts and ideas of the east.

307
00:38:24,710 –> 00:38:31,940
But unfortunately and tragically, that is exactly what we see happening today.

308
00:38:32,510 –> 00:38:39,140
As in the church, people are being encouraged to visualize the things that they want.

309
00:38:39,530 –> 00:38:46,530
They are taught that by faith they can bring into reality anything they desire.

310
00:38:46,970 –> 00:38:54,706
And the sovereignty of God and the control of God over man has been twisted.

311
00:38:54,838 –> 00:39:04,940
So that man becomes the sovereign and God becomes the genie that must obey the demands or the desires of man.

312
00:39:06,170 –> 00:39:21,046
Surely we need to get back to biblical Christianity and we need to forsake these principles and practices that are being espoused by even church leaders.

313
00:39:21,238 –> 00:39:27,682
Principles that go back to actually the metaphysics or to the Hindu beliefs.

314
00:39:27,826 –> 00:39:33,094
The thing can grow rich concepts, you can have whatever you visualize.

315
00:39:33,262 –> 00:39:48,440
But we need to realize that God is in control of our lives and we should want God to be in control of our lives and just submit ourselves to that which he knows best for us.

316
00:39:48,830 –> 00:39:51,930
Within all of us, there is a God shaped vacuum.

317
00:39:52,310 –> 00:39:57,102
Throughout the ages, man has attempted to fill that void with the things of the world.

318
00:39:57,296 –> 00:40:04,066
But it is only through a relationship with our Creator that we can be truly satisfied.

319
00:40:04,258 –> 00:40:08,898
His holy scriptures revealed the way in which we can be reconciled to God.

320
00:40:09,044 –> 00:40:13,040
And that is through the provisions of his Son, Jesus Christ.

321
00:40:14,990 –> 00:40:16,306
I’m Chuck Smith.

322
00:40:16,438 –> 00:40:18,346
And I’m Carol Patriciana.

323
00:40:18,478 –> 00:40:21,910
Join us again for another edition of the Pagan invasion.
