To: fabian; All

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

You seem to be quoting some unnamed source and the information is unreliable. Here is the statement of belief of the Foundation of Human Understanding.You can find the link by doing a google search for: Foundation of Human Understanding-statement of belief.

Jesus
I believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the only begotten Son of God. I believe that Jesus is the Messiah foretold, born of the Virgin Mary, and that accepting His perfect truth is essential to salvation. God is perfectly revealed for us in the fullness of Christ, and so we have His clear example to follow. A person must love this Truth more than worldly life, for it is by faith that we are saved, and not acts.

As far as the concept of the Trinity is concerned, it is a mystery that I am eager to understand. I believe in one God, maker of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, I have trouble accepting the expression that “Jesus is God,” since for me that means “Jesus is the Father,” the source of all wisdom. I do believe that as God’s Anointed—as the Father’s Son in whom He was well pleased—judgment over men was given to Jesus, and He is deserving of worship
