I don't agree with everything in this article but I do agree with a lot of it. Thought it was and interesting rant though.
I thought this quote was good. "The New Age Movement is an extremely large Satanic NETWORK, with no official leader, headquarters, or membership list and its influence is everywhere. Basically, what it comes down to is…if you’re not Christian, you’re New Age".

THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT
The New Age Movement is an extremely large Satanic NETWORK, with no official leader, headquarters, or membership list and its influence is everywhere. Basically, what it comes down to is…if you’re not Christian, you’re New Age. The philosophies of this ungodly movement have their roots in ancient occult traditions, dating back to Nimrod and the Tower of Babel. It is being called the “New Spirituality”, with open-arms to all religions, except those who believe in Jesus Christ. They believe that ALL roads lead to god. What is amazing is that they embrace EVERY false god there is in the whole world, EXCEPT THE TRUE GOD!
The NAM is both a religious and a social movement, where followers are told to “awaken” their god consciousness through Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Hypnosis, visualization, etc. New Agers believe in the Universal ONENESS, with the idea that all of reality is essentially ONE (monism). The monist sees everything as a single organic whole and they believe that we are all part of each other and part of nature (Gaia worship) and that people are to awaken to the utopian bliss that their gurus are saying is coming on this earth. How ironic that they are actually paving the way for the One World Order, where the Antichrist will enslave every last person on earh in his Global Order (including the New Ager, who is preaching the gospel of THE ANTICHRIST!). The Bible tells us what will happen in the End and it IS NOT going to be a utopian bliss! Far from it! It will be a time of trouble such as has NEVER happened before. It’s called the Tribulation (read our article on the Great Tribulation).
New Agers are promoting the ‘inner space’ of the mind. Their focus is SELF; to go inside themselves to find their answers. It teaches that mankind has unlimited powers of the mind and are not to think of themselves as sinful, but instead as DIVINE and that THEY actually create god, through the powers of their own mind. This is ABSOLUTELY contrary to what the authoritative Word of God teaches, when it says “ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Humanity's problem is SIN…not ignorance of divinity!
Furthermore, let it be stated, that MAN has no powers. There are two powers in the Universe…GOD and Satan (and Satan’s power is no match to God’s…remember he still remains a CREATED foe and what awaits him is Hell). So if the New Ager thinks he has entered into the “powers of his own mind”, let him THINK AGAIN! He has, in REALITY, joined forces with the powers of DARKNESS and the TRUTH is NOT IN HIM!
I Corinthians 15:40 tells us there are celestial and terrestrial bodies. Mankind is TERRESTRIAL (earthy) and in no way is he CELESTIAL (Heavenly). Mankind was CREATED by God and made a little lower than the angels. He will NEVER ascend to the state of godhood! NEVER…not even in Heaven! There is ONE GOD, and there always will be FOREVER! Read Ezekiel 28 and learn of the punishment of the prince of Tyrus. Verse 2 says, “Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is LIFTED UP and thou hast said I AM A gOD, I SIT IN THE SEAT OF GOD, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a MAN and NOT GOD….“ Read on in verses 8 and 9, “They shall bring thee down to the pit and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. Wilt thou YET SAY before him that slayeth thee I AM gOD? But thou be a MAN, and NO God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.“
Satan is clever; for through the New Age Movement, he is being worshipped as god without the unsuspecting New Agers even knowing it. When you reverence and worship ANY IDOL (including YOURSELF), you are actually worshipping Satan. Satan doesn’t care what name you worship him by, including your own name.
Satan’s purpose in establishing the New Age Movement, is to CHANGE the way people perceive things, by SHIFTING their thinking onto SELF and away from God. It is, by far, the most blasphemous belief system that ever arose out of the pits of Hell! What these DECEIVED people don’t know is that this worship of SELF will have to be set aside when the Tribulation happens, because the book of Revelation says the Antichrist will cause “ALL“ to worship HIM as god. (So much for the ‘short-lived’ worship of SELF, huh?)
The occult essence of the New Age Movement definitely fits the title given in Revelation 17:5, "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of all harlots and abominations of the Earth.“ This is the Apostate church in all of its many facets. The Whore of Babylon is serving her purpose right now, with all her so-called “enlightened” answers, but when the Beast takes control, she is in for a rude awakening, because he will turn against her.
This End Time New Age religion sounds exactly like the Laodicean church, spoken of in Revelation 3:17, which says, “I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.” People like Oprah Winfrey sure seem to be saying JUST THAT. Satan can give you the world and all of its possessions, but when it comes time for your body to die and your soul to enter Eternity, you will take NOTHING with you. Where you will go (Heaven or Hell) when you die, will be determined by the CHOICE you made while still in the body here on Earth. Only those who choose JESUS will enter Heaven. The rest will be given to the Eternal Fire (Satan’s final abode). EVERYONE though, will live FOREVER, but ONLY THOSE who asked Jesus into their hearts and lives, while on this Earth, will live forever in Heaven…in the MANSIONS that Jesus has prepared for those who love Him. The Bible says, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor even entered the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.” (I Corinthians 2:9).
Another one of their beliefs is that all things that we normally think of as 'reality' are mere ‘projections’ of the so-called true 'Ultimate Reality'. This 'Ultimate Reality' is seen as a 'Force'. Other names for this New Age Force are Awareness, Bliss, Principle, Being, Energy, Essence, Vibration, and Universal Consciousness.
New Agers have DENIED the Divinity of Jesus (that He is God)…and instead are saying SELF is god. They say that because God created mankind, then that makes them a part of God and if a part of God, then they “ARE” gods….Well, not only are they NOT gods, but they are NOT EVEN “PARTICALLY” a part of God; not even a SPECK! They are WORLDS APART form the True God of Creation. The ONLY thing that links mankind to God is JESUS CHRIST! The god New Agers serve is the god of THIS WORLD…Satan himself! So if you don’t have Jesus, God will say “I never knew you” when you stand before Him at the Great White Throne Judgment. By then it will be TOO LATE for you!
Jesus said “I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. NO MAN comes to the Father, but BY ME!” Jesus came down from Heaven and died for our SINS, because the Bible says “The wages of SIN is DEATH.” He took our sins and nailed them to the cross. Only through accepting Jesus as our Savior can we be accepted into Heaven. But if we are all gods and have no sin, than Jesus suffered and died for nothing….because if you are a god, then you can save yourself, right? WRONG!
The New Age Movement is a huge and well organized network, consisting of thousands of groups, trusts, foundations, clubs, lodges, and religious groups whose goal and purpose is to prepare the world to enter the coming "Age Of Aquarius." Their message is that the New Age of “enlightenment” is at hand, which coincides with the occult meaning of the Great Seal on the American One Dollar Bill, with the capstone above the unfinished pyramid ready to be lowered. The elite of the Illuminati believe that the world will then be “ILLUMINED“ and become ONE with the All Seeing Eye of Horus!
Just to name a few of the organizations of the New Age network, they are: Amnesty International, Zero Population Growth, California New Age Caucus, New World Alliance, World Goodwill, The Church Universal and Triumphant, The Theosophical Society, the Forum, Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose, the Club of Rome, Christian Science, and the Unity School of Christianity.
This list does not EVEN BEGIN to reveal the multitudes of organizations operating in economic, political, scientific and religious spheres of influence. It affects every culture of life -- sociology, psychology, medicine, the government, ecology, science, arts, education, the business community, the media, entertainment, sports, and the church. Hollywood has MANY followers of this occult doctrine…people like Oprah Winfrey (and her new guru, Ekhart Tolle), Dr. Phil, Shirley MacLaine, Tom Cruise, etc., and they all operate under the guise of good will. They have believed Satan’s LIES and are under his CONTROL.
This movement is endeavoring to establish a World Food Authority, World Water Authority, World Economic Order, and an entirely New World Order. Apparently, in order to enter this New Age, a person will have to take what is known as a "Luciferic Initiation," a kind of pledge of allegiance to the so-called New Age christ (the Antichrist in disguise) and to the New World Order. The New Agers are moving right into the hands of Satan and his plans for the New World Order of Antichrist! So who are we to believe? MAN or the GOD OF CREATION?
Shirley MacLaine, actress and prominent believer in New Ageism, made this blasphemous statement:
'You are everything. Everything you want to know is inside of you. You are the Universe. Maybe the tragedy of the human race was that we had forgotten that we were each divine. You must never worship anyone or anything other than self. For you are god. To love self is to love god. I exist- therefore I am. I know that the god Source exists- therefore it is. Since I am part of that Source, then I AM that I AM.' -Shirley MacLaine, Out on a Limb, 1983 Bantam Books, New York.
How to identify the New Age Movement:
Look for words like……….All is one….All is god….Humanity is god….A change in consciousness….All religions are one…. an impersonal god ”force”….that the nature of “matter is illusionary” (like Quantum Physics heresies)….reincarnations….the evolution of man into godhood….revelations from beings beyond this world….self as god….meditation (or other consciousness-changing techniques)…. occult practices (astrology, mediums, etc.)…..vegetarianism and holistic health….pacifism….one world (global) order; and syncretism (unity of all religions). The New Age also encompasses a wide array of notions: spiritualism, astrology, bioenergy, Chi energy, chakras, nirvana, Kabbalism, Christ-consciousness, Native American Spirituality, Prajna, out-of-body/near-death experiences, reincarnation, and the occult disciplines, as well as unorthodox psychotherapeutic techniques and pseudoscientific applications of the "healing powers" of crystals and pyramids. Some commonly used New Age terms are: guided imagery, reincarnation; positive thinking; human potential; holistic; holographic; synergistic; unity; oneness; transformation; awakening; networking; communal sharing; one-world/globalism/new world order (i.e., one language, one government, one currency, one religion); cosmic consciousness; etc.
Volumes could be written on the huge diversity of its Network. It is important for Christians to recognize even the smallest forms of the New Age Movement. Some New Age practices are: rebirthing; inner healing; biofeedback; yoga; I Ching; reflexology; black and white magic; fire-walking; trance-channeling; therapeutic touch; transpersonal psychology; witchcraft; parapsychology; Magick; Tai Chi; Shamanism; hypnotherapy; acupuncture/acupressure; TM; martial arts; Zen; Relaxation; Erhard Seminar Training; Silva Method (formerly Silva Mind Control); visualization; etc.
The following sums up the New Age Movement in a nutshell:
We are powerful spirit beings ~~~ We pre-existed before our present lives on earth ~~~ Reincarnation ~~~ The human species will evolve into its Christ consciousness or god state ~~~ God is a force, everyone and everything is part of this creative force ~~~ Because God is in everything, our collective thoughts create reality ~~~The mother earth is part of the force and she is a living entity (this is ‘Gaia worship)~~~ If the abuse of mother earth continues, she will have to defend herself with severe natural upheavals ~~~ We must reduce our population and eliminate all the negative thinking people by education or removal ~~~ Some in the New Age believe that alien life forms “seeded” us here in the beginning and that they will return.
What to stay away from:
Getting in touch with your inner self ~~~ Inner healing ~~~ Signs and wonders ministries ~~~ The course of miracles ~~~ Contact with ascended masters ~~~ Contact with aliens ~~~ Soul travel ~~~ Out of body experiences ~~~ Spirit guides ~~~ Near death experiences ~~~ Yoga ~~~ Positive confession ~~~ Possibility thinking ~~~ Your words have power, so you can speak things into existence (Quantum Physics) ~~~ Imaging ~~~ Evolution ~~~ Visions from Mary ~~~ Apparitions related to Mary ~~~ Crying statues ~~~ Slaying in the spirit ~~~ Laughing, barking and other strange out-of-control behavior ~~~ Schools, claiming to be Christian, that teach one how to become a prophet ~~~ Witchcraft ~~~ Shamanism ~~~ Altered states of consciousness ~~~ Hypnotism ~~~ Collective consciousness ~~~ Reaching Christ consciousness ~~~ Sweat lodges ~~~ The lord Maitreya ~~~ The Krishna ~~~ Iman Mahdi ~~~ Dalai Lama ~~~ Robert Schuller ~~~ The power of positive thinking ~~~ Gaia ~~~ The reincarnation of Christ in another body ~~~ There are many paths to God/all religion leads to God ~~~ Unity ~~~ Mormans ~~~ Masons ~~~ Scientology ~~~ Zen Buddhism ~~~ We are about to evolve to a higher life form ~~~ Animal rights and elevation of other species to the level of human beings ~~~ Alternate lifestyles ~~~ Rejection of Christian morality and beliefs ~~~ There are no moral absolutes ~~~Vegetarianism, health food, organic food products (as a higher lifestyle) ~~~ Holistic healing, alternative medicine (taken to mystic extremes) ~~~ Psychics, remote viewers, channelers, astrologers, fortune tellers ~~~ Team concepts (to replace individualism) ~~~ Personality typing and profiling ~~~ Diversity training ~~~ The basic goodness of man ~~~ Personal gurus ~~~ Self improvement seminars ~~~ Outcome based education ~~~ It takes a village ~~~ You can be anything you want to be ~~~ Abortion, birth control, family planning, the right to choose ~~~ Alien encounters ~~~ Psycho therapy ~~~ Dominionism ~~~ Latter Rain movement ~~~ Joel’s Army ~~~ Manifest Sons of God ~~~ Replacement Theology ~~~ Supersession Theology ~~~ The Force ~~~ Wizards ~~~ Edgar Casey ~~~ Pyramid power ~~~ Crystal power ~~~ New Spirituality ~~~ Kabbalah ~~~ The Secret ~~~ Alternate lifestyles ~~~ Feminism (hence Mother Gaia)~~~ All-Seeing Eye ~~~ Unicorn ~~~ Yin Yang ~~~ God is both masculine and feminine, the Rainbow (symbolizing the bridge between man and the Great Universal Mind, which is not God but Lucifer) ~~~ Goat Head on pentagram ~~~All paths lead to God.
This multi-facetted Network of deception is sweeping the Globe; it’s everywhere! At the center of this New Age spirituality is faith in MAN and in the so-called energies or ‘life force’ throughout the cosmos. This New Age philosophy, in all of its ‘modern sophistication’, is deceiving the world with NONE OTHER than the same words that Satan used to seduce Eve, when he said “Ye shall be as gods.” (Genesis)
As you read these words, it is still not too late for you….but time is running out! If you want to be guaranteed an eternal home in Heaven, please accept God’s only provision…Jesus Christ.
