"The greatest gift anyone can give you is their own death". Author Rondi Lightmark's grieving for her deceased husband Jim, led to direct communications with him. This communication fostered major psychological and spiritual developments in her and most profoundly, the ability to receive Jim's love as well as to continue loving him. Grieving involves body, 'who am I without Jim" and spiritual. The body aches and needs direct care. Rhondi knows Jim is still with her as are other deceased persons. Her spiritual seeking has led her to a vastly greater realm which she experiences and knows she is a part. Rondi has a Masters in psychology from Saybrook Graduate School with an emphasis on consciousness research—some of her professors were Stanley Krippner, Ruth Inge-Heinze and Eugene Taylor, and David Feinstein. She is also certified in the family systems therapy of Bert Hellinger. She encourages you to connect with her teachers through the links in her bio in this post. Her 2023 memoir about the loss of her husband won a Nautilus book award. It includes how her dream of becoming a writer was realized in connection with an extraordinary event in her home. This occurred on her return from a workshop with the spiritual philosopher David Spangler. Key influences in Rondi Lightmark's life include the philosophy of the Austrian spiritual scientist, Rudolf Steiner, and her time working as a writer in the spiritual education communities Omega Institute and Esalen Institute. https://www.amazon.com/Difference-Bet...https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Obedien...https://www.rondilightmark.comhttps://www.wholevashonproject.org Teachers: Rudolf Steiner https://www.rudolfsteiner.org/ Stanley Krippner: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Krippner Ruth-Inge Heinze: https://occult-world.com/heinz-ruth-inge/ Eugene Taylor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Taylor_(psychologist)t David Feinstein: https://energymedicineuniversity.org/faculty/feinstein.html Bert Hellinger: https://www.hellinger.com/en/family-constellation/ David Spangler: https://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/explorations/teachers/view/125/david-spangler Bernard D.

In this week's study, I continue with Chapter 19 verses 17 and 19. Before I get into the study, I discuss David Spangler, who is the Director of Planetary Initiative for the United Nations, member of the Lucis Trust as well as a Freemason and an Outspoken Luciferian.Chapter 19 continues and concludes the final period of events, which is called the bowl period. After the bowl introduction in chapters 12-15, the bowl events began in chapter 16, where we saw all seven bowl events described. However as explained there, chapter 16 was not the conclusion of the bowls. Rather, the description of the bowl period continued into chapters 17 and 18 where the bowl interlude was presented.Here in chapter 19, the bowls continue with a resumption of the seventh bowl event. That is, chapter 19 picks up where we left off at the end of chapter 16. The sixth bowl event in Rev 16:12-16 described nations gathering at Armageddon to make war against Yahweh, and then the seventh bowl event began in Rev 16:17-21 with an enormous earthquake and hail storm. However, it curiously never mentioned the outcome of the war. That glaring deficiency is resolved here in chapter 19.This chapter describes the conclusion of Yahweh's wrath on earth, and it must be considered part of the seventh bowl because Rev 15:1 stated that Yahweh's wrath would be finished in the bowls.In our last study we finished in verse 16 where John ended his 6th vision of the heavens. Now beginning with verse 17, John attention is returned to the events on this earth. In Revelation 19:7-9, we read about the great meal in heaven for the marriage of the Lamb. That will be the happiest and most wonderful occasion. As it happens a great meal of a very different kind is happening on earth. This event upon the earth is truly awful. The antichrist has gathered the world's rulers with their armies to fight against Yahshua Messiah. The defeat of antichrist's forces is a complete defeat, and very terrible. Now here is the scene. The armies of the antichrist have surrounded Jerusalem, prepared to engage with their mortal enemy, the warrior king who obviously contests the beast's authority as ruler of the world. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the Sun; = An angel proclaimed the fall of Babylon, and now an angel proclaims the destruction of the Beast and his confederacy.in the sun = so as to be eye-catching in sight of the whole world. This is a mild transition, not away from this scene, but to make a new declaration about this scene.and gather yourselves = Now imagine the terror of this scene. Imagine if you were a soldier and you were assembled on that battlefield and suddenly you saw that and heard that. But notice. This is the insult of all insults. Here the angel doesn't even address the antichrist, doesn't even address the vast military forces, but rather he summons the vultures to come to supper, and their corpses will be the main dish. This is the ultimate disgrace to say, “You are about to become rotten flesh for the birds.”together unto Yahweh's great supper; = The “great supper” given to the birds shall be the unburied dead, indicating a quick, massive, and disgraceful slaughter.18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings = Of the kings under the control of the beast and the false prophet.And the flesh of captains = Of those secondary to kings in command. The Greek word is χιλιάρχων chiliarchōn - denoting captains of a thousand, or, as we should say, commanders of a regiment. And the flesh of mighty men = The word here means “strong,” and the reference is to the robust soldiery - rank and file in the army.Have any questions? Feel free to email me; keitner2024@outlook.com
Random House dictionary defines manifestation as the act of making something “readily perceived by the eye or the understanding; evident; obvious; apparent; plain.” Manifestation is the act of making something invisible visible. It is the act of turning something abstract into something concrete and something potential into something real. That's simple enough, and it's something we do in both conscious and unconscious ways every day. We make our thoughts plain and evident through our actions and our speech; in so doing, we are manifesting our ideas, our feelings, even our whole personalities. We do our work, and as a consequence, we manifest a product or a service. Normally, we do this kind of manifesting in very ordinary ways in the physical world. We use familiar resources such as money, labor, or creativity to bring things we wish into our lives. But sometimes something we need or want just appears, as if by coincidence, without any seeming effort or unusual activity on our part. Or perhaps we learn to use resources of the mind and spirit that go beyond the ordinary world. This idea provides a foundation for a cosmology of manifestation. Upon this foundation are six other related ideas. We can call them the six pillars of manifestation. The first three waves, interrelationship, and co-incarnates—deal with the structure of the cosmos. Like the concept of fields, they reflect the body of the universe. The second three—mind, essence, and unity—relate to the spirit that inhabits or expresses itself through that structure. They reflect the soul of the universe. This body and soul are not two separate things but two aspects of one mystery: one single universal incarnation.
Man's consciousness functions on different levels, and the way in which an individual perceived and interprets life and the universe depends on which of these levels or combination of levels predominates in forming basic attitudes and ideas. Where the consciousness is orientated will determine how the individual will understand and work with natural law. Although the essence of manifestation is basic to all levels of life, how the processes of manifestation are approached and utilized, the mechanics of manifestation, depends on a person's level of consciousness. And understanding of this helps explain newer and different ways and laws of manifesting. This is an explanation of the levels of manifestation as taught by David Spangler of the Findhorn foundation. By understanding the levels of manifestation from physical, emotional, mental to spiritual, you will move past basic manifestation into god level creation.

What once were the Mysteries might now be called “applied holistic living,” living in a manner that blends both the physical and non-physical sides of our nature and of the world. Indeed, the function of any true Mystery school is not to revel in mysteries but to make the world less mysterious, more known, more understood in ways that enhance our ability to work collaboratively with the forces of creation because we are one of those forces. The function of a Mystery school is revelation and empowerment.This is what David seeks to do in Lorian, and it also is a hallmark of William's work. In fact, by invitation of the Shift Network, William has been invited to create a “contemporary Mystery school” that fulfills the criteria he set forth in his e-letter. Happily, he is doing so, and there are few people as qualified as he is.I'm delighted to bring David and William together to explore what it means to create a contemporary Mystery school.I hope you enjoy the conversation.If you would like to know more about Williams offering, please go to his website.
Finding purpose is almost a universal cry. We all want our lives to be valid, meaningful and worthwhile. But most of us want it to be revealed in a blinding light or burning bush moment. You might be one of the lucky ones, but for most of us, it will not happen like that. In this show, we explore that path to that revelation and give you some tools to start your journey. Yes, like everything, there is no free ticket. I was lucky this week to attend an event called Finding your purpose. Bit of a fluke; some friends were going, so we decided to tag along. It was hosted by the Findhorn Foundation and featured Robert Holden in the UK with Caroline Myss and David Spangler in the US. Thousands of Book About Finding Purpose They had a slightly different take on finding a purpose and have been working with it for many years. What is clear is that there are thousands of books on this subject, and that itself is a clue because finding a purpose or cause is a universal need. One aspect they all agreed upon was that your purpose always happens whether you are conscious of it, and it is unlikely to be revealed in a blinding flash unless you are creating the light. Another factor of finding purpose is the unbreakable link with meaning, which is about choosing something. We must decide what gives our life meaning, then find ways to express that meaning in alignment with values, and there is the purpose. It is worth remembering that this podcast started out of my desire to find more meaning and purpose and a reason to live for the next 30 years. On the show, I draw together my thought and experiences of my purpose and give you a few tools to move you forward on your journey to that grail.

Marguerite Rigoglioso, PhD, joins us to talk about her Seven Sisters Mystery School course, because a veil is now lifting on the epoch of Queen Guinevere and King Arthur, revealing a mystery of many levels that holds important keys to help us rebalance the Feminine and Masculine, relink with the Subtle Realms within Nature, restore our inner connection with the Divine, and co-create world harmony. This course is based on the understanding that these great beings ~ along with others like Merlin, the Knights, and the power women associated with this retinue, were real people who merged the lineages of the Essenes and the Sidhe/Fae in service to humanity. And that only now, in this time of great tribulation, are they fully accessible to us as role models for our own spiritual awakening. Margureite takes an integrated deep dive into the stories that have come down in writing, reading between the lines with inspiration from the Divine realms to tease out the true history here. To unfold a fascinating new understanding of this truth, she applies her intrepid research skills, her expertise in divine birth, and her own downpours received in ceremony, while integrating information offered by oracles such as Lisa Renee, Wendy Berg, Claire Heartsong, and David Spangler. The result is a stunningly clear, new vision of the ancient future of Avalon/Camelot that serves as a guide for your individual, and our collective Ascension. The 4 week course starts Wed., June 15 and is available either live on Zoom or in replay, and continues for 3 more Wednesdays.

In this episode, HBW speaks to Barbara Kochanowski and David Spangler from the Consumer Healthcare Products Association about OTC monograph reform. The old OTC monograph system was reimagined as a part of the 2020 CARES act passed in the early stages of the pandemic. Designed to streamline and modernize the OTC monograph system, the results have been slow as the FDA has had most of its attention on the pandemic. However, as the agency hires more staff, Spangler says that we should expect to see a ‘faster moving FDA' in the next three years. Spangler and Kochanowski also talk about the efficacy of the reforms and how they have helped educate their members about the changes.

This episode is about how to improve your prosperity consciousness. I've included a list of books for reference.5 Gifts for an Abundant Life by Diane HarmonySpiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth: “To get the most from this study, you will want to declare your independence from the belief that your personal welfare is completely tied to the economic fluctuations of the world ‘out there.'” “So before you attempt to raise money, the first step should be to raise consciousness.” The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom by Suze OrmanDon't Worry, Make Money by Richard Carlson, Ph.D. “Money is circulation, it needs to flow.” “Being attached to an outcome, holding on, takes an enormous amount of energy…” “Cynicism contradicts abundance.” The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price “…prosperity is a part of the natural process of life,…” “…the energy of abundance is constantly radiating from the Source within…” “What one has done, all can do. The secret is to be aware of this unfailing principle…” “…lack is simply the outpicturing of false beliefs…” “…the only limitations you have are the ones you've imposed upon yourself.” Creating True Prosperity by Shakti Gawain Soul Currency by Ernest D. Chu “….it's mistaken to believe that giving to yourself, that taking care of your own needs and interests, is selfish.” “People have long traded satisfaction for security.” (Sub quote from Studs Terkel) “Most people's jobs are too small for their spirits.” “You are at your most powerful when you follow your creative passion and let it inspire your choices and your path.” The Wealthy Spirit by Chellie Campbell - this is a daily reader. The Laws of Manifestation by David Spangler “…manifesting a quality of being and letting life configure itself to me…” based on “being connected to my own inner inspiration and sense of calling and connected to the world around me.” “…positive beingness was more important than positive thinking.” “…manifestation is not about a technique. It is about our power as participants in the interactive web of life.” “…we think of manifestation as an act of incarnation ore than an act of acquisition or attraction.” “…manifestation is a change of form or state or condition of being; it is not the creation of something out of nothing.”Joyous Abundance Journal by Petra Weldes and Christian Sorensen - another daily readerThe Wisdom of Money by Alice Bandy “it is impossible for you to admire these qualities in others if you don't already have the beginnings of them in yourself.” “Changing your life is as simple as changing your mind about some of these old concepts that don't work for you.” The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine PonderPutting the Prosperity Idea to Work by Robert A. Russell God Goes to Work by Tom Zender The Prosperous Heart by Julia Cameron Virtually ANY book by Ernest Holmes.

Sean Illing talks with the author and self-described mystic David Spangler about parenting as a spiritual enterprise, where the parent communes in a radical way with the spirit of another and expands the limits of the self. They discuss what it means to adopt the "beginner's mindset" in parenting, relating to children as full individuals, and how to cope with obstacles that all parents experience — from misbegotten family dinners, to the perils of getting dressed in the morning.

For as long as he can remember, David Spangler has been physically aware of a spiritual world existing alongside this one. In 1965, David Spangler left college to follow an inner spiritual calling and encountered an extraordinary presence, which he named “John.” Over the next quarter-century John would assist David in exploring the “inner worlds” of the spirit, and would tutor him in some of the most basic mysteries of life and the nature of the human spirit. In Apprenticed to Spirit, Spangler recounts how John showed him the way to develop a spiritual intelligence—what Spangler calls “a mind of the soul”—and how to integrate it into everyday life. Spangler learned to think with his soul and embarked on the apprenticeship to understanding the sacredness of our world and of the realms beyond ours—a journey that continues to this day. David Spangler is a visionary, a spiritual teacher, and the author of several books, including The Call, Everyday Miracles, and Blessing. He is a cofounder of the Lorian Association.

In this episode I talk with David Spangler, the Spiritual Director of the Lorian Association, about the origins of Lorian.
“Some people think they are in community, but they are only in proximity. True community requires commitment and openness. It's a willingness to extend yourself to encounter another” - David Spangler. When I was looking for a quote about community, this one resonated with me so much, because it reminded me of me. For years I thought I had heaps of friends, all the friends, and I was part of lots of groups of people. But when I experienced hard times, I realised who my real friends were… But what I also realised is that I had never extended myself or really opened myself up to other people. I wore masks so I would ‘fit in' for so many years, I avoided deep conversations because I didn't want or know how to be vulnerable because my previous experiences led me to believe that being vulnerable = getting hurt! In today's episode I'm sharing with you the value of community, why we fear it and how that prevents us from opening ourselves up, and then I'll share with you soe examples of how community can change your life.

Mother, Author, Researcher ‘What is happening behind the curtain?' The UN Agendas, the World Economic Forum - Your Future? Giving a wider understanding of the issues facing us today, both in NZ and globally. Worth your while to listen to the whole interview. Author of ‘We are Revolting' and her new book just out ‘Under the Shadow', Antoinette lays the groundwork of her research as to what is happening on a global scale. She says she is a big picture person. The fact that over the years, our NZ Governments, both left and right have signed us on to the United Nations Agenda21 and Agenda23 that have slipped through without there being a public discourse or debate and education of ‘we the people' as to what does this all translate into. Why the silence and why have our elected representatives not mentioned this to their constituents? Especially as this all started back in 1992. Then there is the question of what's the game plan being acted out under cover of the Covid crisis? Where and where does the World Economic Forum from Davos in Switzerland put the ‘Great Reset' in place. Where the cashless society comes into being, that by 2030 ‘we will own nothing and we will be happy' - how about - full of Joy! Note, that both our Prime Minister and our Deputy Prime Minister have attended the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Yet a quietened NZ MSM, ‘soothed with ample funding' from our Government discreetly looks the other way. This is what happened - the Fourth Estate (your Media) have remained silent and tight lipped. www.AntoinetteJames.com With a new book just out: UNDER THE SHADOW: Agenda 21 in New Zealand New Zealand National and Labour governments have collaborated in binding the country to UN goals.

I am a "big picture" commentator. Understanding the big picture makes it easier to understand the incremental steps by our gov and councils to ultimate end-game of communism that will best be described as a 'technocratic oligarchical scientific dictatorship'. Antoinette has also written another book in 2019 called WE ARE REVOLTING: ‘A Red Pill Read' Paperback – January 4, 2019 · Kindle $14.99 Read with Our Free App · Paperback $35.26. Antoinette states that in 2019 the Prime Minister of NZ wrote NZ's First Voluntary National Review to the United Nations - which is basically an audit of NZ and saying to the UN bosses where we are at, as a country. She says that it has all the basic feel good language - but behind that are ‘word definitions' - and that there is a lot of word trickery going on. Shared Responsibility and Public Private - what do these words really mean? That key words are frequently placed in this Agenda's schedule - words that give us the ‘feel good vibe' such as ‘wellbeing' and the question is posited what does the word ‘wellbeing' translate to for the elite at the top of the UN, plus bankers and movers and shakers? What does ‘wellbeing' mean to the elite at the top of the pyramid of power? Have a listen - because what Antoinette says is very important for us all to take in. From Tims point of view as the interviewer - I did not want to get in and argue points - I was instead offering a platform that is based on Freedom of Expression - and I know that we are being limited as time passes. Whereas as Antionette says, as a Christian that we need to be taking care of human life. That we are sacred beings - (Tim believes we are souls inhabiting bodies - (see his previous interviews about souls and near death and out of the body experiences.) Note that in most cases Atheists refuse to debate this). Antoinette states that we are in the decade of eco restoration and that is a very good thing in Tims estimation - however it's all about how the top of the ‘pyramid of power' is going about doing this. So this is a very important point to understand - we need both - but how the Agenda's are being promulgated is that the Governments are making no effort to educate the public. There is no use of the Fourth Estate to educate humanity of what is the issue and what is at stake here. There is a balance … we have to take in the precautionary principle in situations - like the non growing of Genetically Engineered food in NZ - But, when it comes to Covid the authorities are not following this themselves. Because in NZ for example, the Pfizer injection has not been passed as safe by the FDA and that it is still in an ‘experimental phase' as per Med Safe here in NZ. so there is a huge in-congruence with how our elected servants are governing us - some will say ‘ruling us'. The current Government's understanding of Agenda21 according to Antoinette is that their adherence to Agenda21 is to the restoration of the environment as it was before man walked on our planet. This is seen as going too far - too fast - especially with 7.8 billion beings that need water, feeding, housing, health and education - etc. Antoinette mentions Rosa Koire on NZer Vinny Eastwoods show. link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MPKl1yskKs In this interview Antoinette also mentions: Bill and Melinda Gates - at the Goal Keepers Conference 2019 - where our Prime Minister commits NZ to the Agenda21 Goals. That at present NZ is now locking away significant natural areas … But, this is not being done with open transparent, local, and district participation of the land owners and the farming or agricultural community. It is being imposed. This interview talks about top down control coming across NZ's rural sector - South Waikato for instance has been given a plan to control its water - (and we need plans to clean up our water) - however rural people are not being kept in the loop and the authorities are forcing the issue by initiating local bylaws etc without having open discussions with the locals. This is coming from the top down. This is not localised democracy. Antoinette - stresses that Local Government is not doing the work around having meetings with local rural residents or local town hall meetings and giving people a heads up on what it would like to do or what is actually going on. It all appears to - being put in place and that everyone in the community just has to comply. Like - it's being forced upon the people. The rural sector is about to be managed … where previously in a localised community district or region - ‘we the people' governed ourselves by democratic principles. However this does not appear to be happening. What we hear in this interview is that we are being ‘Ruled by an elite' - that sees us in many ways as useless eaters and that we do not have a soul … this is why management of the future is being set up - because in many ways we as a society have not been alert and have let our local democratic system deteriorate, by not voting - to such a degree that ‘others' have stepped in and in many ways subtly hijacked the process. This Interview includes: The Fabian Society and the connection to the Royal Society … Article 61 and the Nuremberg code He Whakaputanga. The flying of the 1835 Flag, when 34 Maori Chiefs came together to re-emphasise that they were independent. Antoinette says she raises this flag at her home. This interview covers a vast number of issues that have not been given any coverage or discourse in NZ. Once we in this country were very keen on participating in our young democracy. However, you can see how the voter turnout at local government elections has fallen dramatically over the last 50 years and it is at this level that change is being forced upon us, because there are fewer checks and balances. Antoinette as a mother and someone who has witnessed the decline in all areas of family, education, health and community life over the decades has decided to make a stand. She has to be acknowledged and empowered for standing up to a system that has lost its way and or been infiltrated. Well worth grappling with the subject matter she brings to us all. Because we are in the grips of and irregular warfare. Mentioned in this interview is the link between 5G and Covid. https://www.rfglobalnet.com/doc/fixed-wireless-communications-at-60ghz-unique-0001 https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet70/oet70a.pdf Also, that there is in place a new Nuremberg Trial coming due to the unlawful acts of Government and Health officials around Covid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJXCG3tXwj4 Dr Reiner Fuellmich https://reesereport.com/ - 4 minute videos to get the point across. There is an axiom that states - The means justifies the ends, not the ends justifies the means. You will find that both Facists and Communists will go with ‘the ends justifying the end' - whilst those who believe in virtue and principled morality - will always go with - ‘the means justifying the end.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZC0NOljRWQ&t=282s Vox 2014 Police State Contagion: NOTES: Tim mentions that in 1992 at the Rio UN Conference in Brazil, that 192 Nations signed up to Agenda 21 - Under the auspices of George Herbert Bush - who as the Head of the CIA spent 12 years in the Whitehouse - 8 years as Vice President and 4 years as President. With his son George W Bush having another 8 years as President in the Whitehouse. What were these insiders doing during this time? www.AntoinetteJames.com

Die Welt, Ende der 80er. Es herrscht im Adventure-Genre ziemlich unangefochten die Firma Sierra mit ihren Erfolgsserien, aber 1987 setzt LucasFilm Games, der Games-Arm von George Lucas' Filmfirma, einen Kontrapunkt: Maniac Mansion etabliert mit seinen technischen Errungenschaften und dem popkulturell aufgeladenen Humor eine Formel, die von da an das Genre prägt. Die Erwartungshaltung an das nächste Adventure des Studios ist folglich groß – und Studio-Veteran David Fox liefert mit Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders ein umfangreiches Spiel, das sich stark an Maniac Mansion orientiert, aber an entscheidenden Stellen von dem Vorbild abweicht. Insbesondere in Deutschland erobern sich die LucasArts-Adventures einen dauerhaften Platz in den Herzen der Spieler. Chris und Gunnar sprechen über die Entstehung des Titels, über das Spiel und lassen auch den Entwickler David Fox zu Wort kommen.

In this week's episode David Spangler and Jeremy Berg speak with Joanna about: what is "Gaianeering", the forthcoming Lorian Summer Conference; participating in an ecology of consciousness; the heart of an incarnational spirituality; learning to live on behalf of the life of the world; Findhorn, an early example of gaianeering; cooperating with the subtle intelligences of Nature; a possibility for broader, new ways of being human; a relationship with Gaia based in love; emergent novelty and love; rediscovering and realigning with our wholeness and the wholeness of the world. The post Becoming Gaianeers appeared first on Future Primitive Podcasts.
This subject commands incredible interest worldwide. Globally, cultures are becoming more convinced that subtle realms of reality not only exist but may affect our lives in ways far more profound than we realize. This perspective is fueled by a growing awareness of ancient and indigenous wisdom and modern science's understanding of our profoundly interconnected quantum reality. Science and ancient wisdom meet in our investigation of these subtler realms of reality. The episode features leading voices from science and ancient and indigenous traditions. Dr. David Nicol, author of Subtle Activism, moderates. Based on his landmark book, Dr. Nicol (California Institute of Integral Studies and a founder of Gaiafield.net and Subtleactivism.net) examines Subtle Activism and its implications with indigenous shamanic voices Oscar Miro-Quesada and Luisah Teish, and renowned western contemplative David Spangler. Among other topics, they consider how intention and prayer may influence reality.

Laura's WebsiteLaura Maxwell’s Story.‘What Spiritualism Means To Me Now.’LauraSupernatural phenomena interested me since childhood. I loved reading children’s books containing ‘ghost stories’, or watching TV programs about ‘ghosts’. If Harry Potter had been written then, I’m sure it would have been one of my faveourites!A few psychic episodes as a child added to the intrigue I felt. My mother had also experienced psychic events since her childhood, but didn’t pursue it seriously until later.By the time I began Secondary School, she felt ready to experiment further. When walking her dogs in the park one day, a Medium approached, telling Mum he saw her potential as a Medium and invited her to a Spiritualist Church in Glasgow, Scotland, where we lived.Very quickly, Mum became totally engrossed by the supernatural. As a new member of the Spiritualist Church, she attended Sunday services, mid week psychic development groups and Yoga classes. She shared everything she learned with me and I also became fascinated. Her heart’s desire was to train in Mediumship and the other Mediums encouraged this, asking her to join an Open Circle to learn to meditate to channel ‘spirits of the deceased’. Mum was keen to develop her abilities of Clairvoyance, Clairaudience and Clairsentience and to learn from other Mediums.Every time Mum booked a Private Sitting for a Life Reading with a resident or visiting Medium, she would buy a recording of the session and we’d listen to it later that day. It amazed me that a half-hour recording could contain so much communication from spirits. Minute details were relayed about our lives. Precise names, places and dates were often given. It was obvious the Mediums weren’t charlatans, falling upon names by sheer chance. They accurately described the physical appearance, personalities and even repeated common phrases of our apparent dead relatives as they supposedly conversed with them.I also joined the Spiritualist Church in Glasgow. Mum and I devoured mystical books on Yoga, opening the chakras, Crystal Healing, Reincarnation, Alternative Therapies, etc. Attending New Age Centres and Psychic Fairs, we absorbed as much information as we could to help in our spiritual enlightenment. With our passion for environmental and conservation concerns, social justice and international peace, we gladly participated in attempting to heal people and animals, through either contact or distant psychic healing.We also read books on positive thinking. A faveourite was, ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’, by Norman Vincent Peale, a 33rd degree Free Mason, who also believed in Clairvoyance, claiming to see his dead dad at meetings.Going DeeperEventually, we attended Transfiguration Sessions. Mum developed in the area of Automatic Writing. Mediums predicted I’d become an author on behalf of Spirit Guides and a Psychic Artist, drawing portraits of ‘dead relatives and Spirit Guides’ for clients. I experimented with Kirlian Photography; using infra red film I captured images of ectoplasm as it formed.Over the next 10 – 15 years, we’d often hear of Mediums who could no longer control when spirits spoke to or through them. Many Mediums had nervous breakdowns. Some attacked people claiming their Spirit Guides had forced them to, or were admitted to psychiatric wards. We heard reports of poltergeist activity in Medium’s homes. At first, we accepted explanations that mischievous or obnoxious spirits could sometimes come through and it was a potential hazard of the job. But when it happened to us, it became difficult to tolerate and almost impossible to function properly.Our beloved friends, the other Psychics and Mediums, kindly tried, but failed to free our home from spirits. The spirits spoke to Mum constantly, depriving her of sleep, attacking her physically, chapping loudly from within wardrobes, slamming all the doors, etc.On one of the occasions when they forced her into a trance against her will, she was frying food. When she came out of trance, the kitchen was consumed by fire. I arrived home after the Fire Brigade had extinguished it, just before it spread to other rooms. We all realized Mum, our dogs and cats could have been killed. One afternoon, Mum’s elderly Aunt who had also visited Spiritualist Churches, felt invisible hands grab her and throw her down our stairs. Her wrist was broken. Another day, while approaching shops, I watched in horror as Mum was lifted from the ground and catapulted from the pavement, landing on the bonnet of a passing car. This particular incident happened more than once.Hellish EncountersWe decided to withdraw from Spiritualism and told our Spirit Guides to leave. To our shock, they laughed and insulted us. They began to physically attack us. This was perplexing, as they had provided guidance and kindness for many years. It became obvious they’d clearly deceived us, pretending to be benevolent, when in reality they were wicked all along.The biggest shock however came when even our supposedly ‘dead relatives’ turned against us. They also mocked and hit us. The spirits warned we couldn’t leave the occult, as we had unknowingly given them control from the first day we invited them into our lives. It became clear to Mum & I there was something not right about Spiritualism, if even the Mediums who had brought our ‘spirit friends’ to us had not discerned their true identity.A Christian EncounterSusan, a Christian I’d met in a Psychology Tutorial, at university, invited me to her Pentecostal Church, explaining other Psychics who had experienced similar tragedies were set free from spiritual attacks when they accepted the Biblical Jesus Christ as their Saviour, (not the New Age false Christ). I renounced Spiritualism & became a Christian.A Darker Tragedy StrikesDuring my 2nd year at university, Mum’s health deteriorated & her ‘Spirit Guides’ threatened to use her to kill people. Mum’s doctor couldn’t accept poltergeist activity & diagnosed as Schizophrenic, Mum was detained in a Psychiatric Hospital, much to the utter shock of my Mum & I.Although my Mum gave her heart to Jesus a few months later, the Pentecostal Church I’d joined had no experience at that point, of helping people like Mum. At that time, they didn’t have the Deliverance Ministry. As a baby Christian myself, I didn’t yet know there were Christians who could’ve cast those demons out of my Mum in Jesus Name. After months of heavy sedation, the psychiatrists discharged her, but when she returned home, she endured further harassment from spirits. Sadly, the church I belonged to didn’t yet have experience of casting demons out of homes or people. So, sadly, my mother committed suicide.Although not rare for someone to do … over the past 17 years I’ve heard of many around the world, affected by the New Age or Occult have been in psychiatric wards or killed themselves. Therefore, I feel it emphasizes the crucial importance for Christians to embrace the Deliverance Ministry, and be God’s instruments to bring freedom to such tortured people in Jesus Name. (Over the years as a Christian, I have been honoured & delighted that the Holy Spirit has used me to see people & homes be set free from demonic harassment/poltergeist type activity, etc). “Greater is He (Jesus), that is in you; than he (satan) that is in the world.”Later, another Pastor more experienced in Deliverance prayer & casting out demons & the co-Pastor, visited my mum’s home, successfully cleansing it the first time they prayed. At the Name of Jesus, all the spirits left & never returned. Later, I sold Mum’s home without worrying the new tenants would be harassed.The Pentecostal Church did not portray dead religious traditions, instead it was lively, loving and joyful. Members are trained by the Holy Spirit to prophesy about the future, bodies are healed and other miracles, signs and wonders occur. Actually, in a couple of years I saw more peopled healed in Pentecostal Churches than I ever saw in over ten years at Spiritualist Churches.Deception ExposedWhen I became a Christian, even before I had read the Biblical warnings of the Occult in Deuteronomy chapter 18, I instinctively realized what had happened. The missing piece of the jigsaw fit into place. When our ‘dead relatives and Spirit Guides’ began to attack Mum and I, it indicated they were actually evil spirits who had deceived us, merely impersonating our loved ones. It made complete sense when Christians explained that it’s impossible for dead souls to return to talk with us, as they remain in heaven or hell for eternity.Also, spirits are evil ‘fallen angels’. They’ve existed since creation, possessing psychic knowledge of our families & historical figures down the generations. They can easily disguise their evil form to pose as our ‘deceased family,’ to mimic ‘Spirit Guides,’ or any famous celebrity that ever lived. The Bible says that the entities who work through Witches, Mediums, Ghost Hunters, etc, are called ‘familiar spirits’, as they are psychic & very familiar with how all your ancestors looked & spoke. Thus, these entities can impersonate them perfectly. The Hebrew word for familiar spirits actually means ‘demon,’ evil spirit.This was confirmed as I read in 2 Corinthians 11 to 14 : “And no wonder! For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” The evil spirits working through Spiritualism, serve Satan in deceiving precious people into believing they are their dead relatives and Spirit Guides.This make sense, because many top Mediums even claim that Lucifer is god and the source of all psychic powers! (Benjamine Creme, David Spangler, Madam Helena Blavatsky, etc). They believe Lucifer is still an angel of light; god; the Saviour, and that he did not fall and become Satan, as the Bible states. Thus, Luciferianism is one of the roots of the New Age and Spiritualism. Madam Helena Blavatsky, a self proclaimed Luciferian Medium, was called the ‘mother of the New Age movement’.Before I left the Occult, I was unaware the Bible advises in 1 John 4 verse 1 to 3 : “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God … every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus has come in the flesh is not of God … And this is the spirit of the Antichrist …”(Please see my note with directions on how to Test The Spirits, in the menu bar at the top).A Crucial ObservationSince I left Spiritualism and became a Christian, I have never been contacted by any spirit claiming to be a ‘dead relative’ or ‘Spirit Guide’! All such supernatural activity stopped, when I knew the truth, that they were demons impersonating family or spiritual beings! You’d think, if they were truly real, they’d still try to ‘contact’ me!Sharing With OthersAs a Spiritualist, I had believed Jesus was just a cosmic force; part of the universal consciousness, or a great Psychic Healer. Since my conversion in 1994, I’ve met, spoken to & read of many Ex Psychics, Ex Gypsies, Ex Mediums, Ex Witches, Ex Luciferians, and even Ex Satanists who also discovered the entities of their ‘Spirit Guides’ or ‘dead relatives’ were not who they claimed to be. These people were also set free from demonic attack after receiving Christ into their lives & receiving His deliverance & freedom.Two successful Glasgow Mediums, Sadie Bryce and Geordie Aitken also became Christians. Sadie went to the same Spiritualist Church I did. She spoke of her occult past in BBC programs and an audio tape, while Paul Watson wrote a book detailing Geordie’s experience. As Christians, Sadie and I wrote to each other and I met Geordie several times, discovering we all had been misled by convincing spirits in the same ways.Jesus healed me of fears, phobias and physical conditions. He has given me joy and peace I simply never knew existed. His very tangible Presence of pure love is more real than any powerful encounter I experienced within Spiritualism.Revelation TV, Europe.After sharing my life story in churches, on satellite TV and radio, I’m delighted & blessed to continue to hear from people worldwide, who have also been saved out of the Occult – by the transforming, mighty power of our loving Lord Jesus Christ.Visit her website here.www.seek4truth.tk

The Mind Renewed : Thinking Christianly in a New World Order
"Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as YOURSELF, and His Wholeness as YOURS" (A.C.I.M.) This week our guest is Russ Wise, vice president of Christian Information Ministries and long-time researcher into New Religious Movements, who joins us to discuss the highly-influential "A Course in Miracles". Beginning (humanly-speaking) with Helen Schucman in the mid-1960s who claimed that the Course was dictated to her by the "voice" of Jesus, and popularised in more recent times by Oprah Winfrey and Marianne Williamson, the Course claims to offer the key to understanding reality that brings spiritual freedom and joy. But is it true? Measuring its claims against the most reliable source of information we have about Jesus (the New Testament), Russ Wise shows why A.C.I.M. cannot have originated with the real Jesus of Nazareth, and why it is both false and spiritually damaging. Russ also shares with us how best to engage with people who are persuaded by its teachings. (For show notes, please visit http://themindrenewed.com)

Apprenticed is a memoir of David’s journey to understanding how we can learn to lead lives of greater blessing and to be sources of blessing and service for the world as a whole. In the book, David documents his encounter in 1965 with an extraordinary presence, which he named “John,” and which over the next quarter-century would be his colleague and mentor, assisting him in exploring the “inner worlds” of the spirit.
