Of course Satan uses religion to deceive the deceivable, but that does not mean that the real holy spirit is not to be relied upon. The problem is that the church as a whole, has failed in its responsibility to teach people to “be still and know.” And to pray unceasingly...both are in scripture. The root of prayer is..to examine oneself..examine...same as watch..see...there is a very silent prayer that is needed to come to God...and it is not attainable by learning the scriptures. Those texts are being misused by you and many...it is the holy inside agrees with scriptures...but IT is the teacher, comforter, NOT the scripture itself.
Fabian, I will pray for you because you are being deceived and do not know it. You apparently are a disciple of Masters, trying to indoctrinate people. We will rebuke and correct you and pray for you. If you continue to lead people into this false philosophy and don’t repent, God will hold you accountable.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
[Reuben Obermeister] came to America in 1949, at age 21, to lecture on diamonds. He legally changed his name to Roy Masters in 1954 (yet never acquired American citizenship) and eventually became a professional hypnotist claiming he could “save people by teaching them self-sufficiency meditative hypnosis.” The American Medical Association pressed charges against him for practicing medicine without a license. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail. He likens this “persecution” to the persecution Jesus suffered....
....In lieu of dependence on Jesus Christ for salvation, Masters teaches dependence on his meditation techniques. He teaches that mankind is inherently good, thus there is no need for salvation or a savior. All problems man encounters can be resolved through self effort. “No form of outer assistance can substitute for inner direction. Direction must come always from within. Moved by the spirit of intuition, we move without excitement, effort or strain. The more we exercise our dependency upon the Within, the stronger this relationship becomes, and we know it to be Grace,” (How To Keep Your Mind Well, p. 165, Foundation Press, 1971). Though he claims to have been saved by the blood of Christ, he states that “one of the biggest curses in Christendom is the false idea that Jesus is God”....
....Participants in his week-long seminars pay $1,200 and $50 for one-day seminars held across the country. Masters says he wants to be remembered in the same category as Moses, Jesus, the apostles, Buddha, Gandhi, Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy.
— from the thread Roy Masters: Foundation of Human Understanding
Roy Masters and the Foundation of Human Understanding believe:
- The Bible is just words
- prayers with words aren’t true prayers
- you must pray in silence while constantly examining your thoughts and feelings (the Be Still exercise)
- you must do the Be Still exercise... It’s the fast track to salvation
- when you do it correctly, you become sinless
- Jesus Christ is not the divine Savior
- being saved means being a good person without expectation of any reward
- whoever disagrees is a false, phony Christian, a liar and apostate
- if everyone does what Roy Masters directs, we can save our country
