Sorry BB, but you are not part of the esoteric cult that considers their revelations holy and are not subject to proof by the words of Scripture, while a Bible can be chucked:

“The whole process of growing is not from words but from realizing and then you can throw your Bible in the garbage can and there’s no sin in that.” (”The Mystery of Golgotha,” tape).

And “The Scriptures can poison you, and destroy you. They are lethal, they are deadly. They are more deadly than any drug.” (Tape No. 20, “The Sayings of Jesus—Right Tradition.”)

And “Study kills. It is a very dangerous ‘informing’ indeed.” (The Satan Principle, pp. 38-39)

Meanwhile, consistent with his rejection of Biblical hermeneutics, which, as in everyday communication, takes into account context, genre, grammar, etc. in understanding, with the Holy Spirit giving added discernment to believers, Masters “proof text,” “Be still, and know that I am God” and which goes on to say, : I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth, “ (Psalms 46:10) is a misappropriation, as it is not referring to getting oneself into a highly suggestive mental state, including in order to hear from God in a way that is divorced from the words of Scripture, but contextually it is referring to standing in awe in seeing God do the work of subduing His enemies:

“Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. “ (Psalms 46:8-9)

And which is in the context of promoting faith to trust God to do so, rather than striving to fight in your own strength, as it begins, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; “ (Psalms 46:1-2)

And which corresponds to “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. “ (Exodus 14:13)

And,

“Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. “ (2 Chronicles 20:17)

And which things we know by Scripture, and are opposed to worry, and instead they promote faith, knowing that we are laborers together with God, (1Cor. 3:9) who is the One who really effectually works in and thru us as we trust and obey Him consistent with Scripture. (Phil. 2:12,13; cf. Jn. 14:10; Mt. 4:4)

Thus once again, Scripture interprets Scripture, the Holy Spirit accordingly, and casting down the imaginations of Masters resulting from his unScriptural hyper suggestive esoteric “revelations” which he considers holy, while the Bible can be used as Charmin.

I thank God that I am not part of any esoteric cult.

Your post reminded me of Paul's admonition to Timothy in the epistle II Timothy 3:1-9

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
