Glad to see Moody is on top of this as is Dr. Jeremiah and others. Yet Christ said this would come...much of this Mysticism is based on the sensual...appeals to the touchey feely generations or those prone to "if it feels good do it" mentality. Amazingly those who are seeking God or that of knowing Him better fall into this trap...and it is a dangerous trap indeed!
As you said it is rooted in Hinduism....but remember that is the agenda of the Hindu Guru's who professed that they would "color" Hinduism to suit the mindset of people in America in order to bring Hinduism here in a "New Light" which would be acceptable to Christians as well. Already many churches have 'Yoga' and though they say they aren't practicing Hinduism...this was one of the agendas to get Hinduism into the American mindset....
Recent photo Of Michelle Oboma shows her practicing this with hands praying just as the Gurus teach...so it is in the whitehouse as well.
When our nation decided to turn it's back on Christianity this has left the doors wide open for all the third world religions to come here....and thrive! Expect much more of it...including the push from Islam.
This is all part of the great deception God said would come....and if people are not grounded in God's word they will fall for it....many have already you would not imagine possible.
Spot on insights
I heard about it on the Janet Parshall program called "In the Market." It took the place of Prime Time America which retired back at the beginning of June, I think.
She also has a Saturday morning program, and she's good, really good. Dr. Jeremiah is good also, and I listen to him and Chuck Swindoll every chance I get. There are others I listen to as well, John MacArthur, Alistair Begg, Chip Ingram among others.
The world is a strange place, a holiness Wesleyan listening to a group of Calvinists!!! Whodathunk? :-))
