In 5th or 6th grade the teacher showed us a movie about the dangers of getting into a car with a stranger. I remember the movie very well. The man in the car looked like a nice grandpa, he had a friendly smile and kindly face.
He had candy, every child’s favorite. He offered her the candy and she couldn’t resist. The little girl did not have in her framework the possible danger. Her little mind could not read the mind of the pervert/predator.
She was tricked! Seduced, deceived, lied to and hoodwinked. She was also raped , murdered and left in the woods to rot. Deception always led’s to destruction.
So it is with the sweet looking candy of the new age and the new popular book by Eckard Tolle. The seemingly sweet call for a evolution of human consciousness and earth changes, a call to peace and love and a new spiritual breakthrough.
I boldly tell you that the fallen cherub is the master of the Trojan horse. Candy coated poison is only discerned when its to late. The master of deception is the living fallen cherub. This evil predator will look for what a person or nation needs or desirably wants and then seek to rap his poison into shape that is appealing to the prey.
The spirituality behind Eckhart’s book and message has five counterfeits
Chapter one of ‘A NEW EARTH’
First, Eckhart is a counterfeit teacher and spiritual leader.
Eckhart does what most occult and cult leaders have done, he dismisses Jesus as God in human flesh ( what all of scripture says about Him) and reduces Him to just a past spiritual teacher like many other spiritual seekers. He uses Jesus Christ and His Words for his own purpose and then distorts both. Eckhart says that ‘sin’ in the original Greek just means we have ‘missed the point’. We as humans
Have missed the point of our own dysfunction and just need an enlightenment. I charge him with aiding and abed-ing the damnation of the souls of humanity.
Eckhart teaches we don’t need a savior or God we just need to realize that we are ‘unawakened’ and all we need is to look within to the light within.
Eckhart’s book hails him as a ‘spiritual teacher‘, that he is on a mission and that he is taking his ‘spiritual message’ to the world. This is a counterfeit to the Person of Jesus, His teaching and His mission to the world.
The scriptures teach that anyone who comes along and ‘preaches’ a different Jesus than what the prophets, apostles and scriptures proclaim -that they are:
of the spirit of antichrist (1John 2), that they are a false teacher( 1 John 2 ),
a counterfeit whose source is the ‘secret power of lawlessness’ (2 Thess. 2), being led by seducing spirits (1Timothy 4:1), that they and their new spiritual teaching seeks to make God a liar (1 John 5), and that they are in danger of personal eternal judgment (Gal.1)
Does Eckhart believe he is greater than Jesus Christ? Does Oprah? Is Eckhart greater that the Holy Spirit or the Word of God?
Is Eckhart’s spiritual teaching and promise of an ‘awakening’ greater than the spiritual eternal transformation of the new birth (born again) that Jesus talked about?
By what spirit does Eckhart Tolle speak? He demonstrates he is a new counterfeit and cult teacher who will mislead many. See (1 John 2)
The Holy Spirit of God says "Tests the spirits and see if they have come from God" (1 John 4 please study this well)
Second, Eckhart’s teaching is a spiritual counterfeit.
Eckhart’s spiritual teaching has a source, old Hindu and pantheistic spirituality that comes from the many gods and goddesses ( and gurus of the east ).(Instead of the Spirit of God who is the Spirit of Truth
who would as Jesus Christ said would lead us into all Truth) Eckhart’s spiritual stream can be tracked back to the fallen cherubs first deception offered to humanity, the original luciferian lie……..
‘REJECT GOD AS THE SOURCE OF LIFE AND BELIEVE THIS NEW HIGHER SPIRITUAL TEACHING, IT PROMISES YOU AN EVOLUTION IN HUMAN ATTAINMENT, AN AWAKENING TO ELITE SPIRITUAL STATUS AND WILL LEAD YOU TO BE AS gods, MASTERS OF YOUR OWN IDENTITY AND DESTINY’
This luciferian lie has shown up in blood cults, early Gnostics, the masons, traditional satanism and the writings of HPB and Alice Bailey. Demonic ‘ascended masters’ ‘spirits’ and occult teaching has taught the same things that Eckhart is teaching.
The promise of a ‘supernatural human evolution’ an occult ‘awakening’ has never occurred and never will. The promise of this ascendancy cannot be attained because the one who promised it in the first place never reached it and cannot give what he does not have or have to power to give.
Third Eckhart’s ‘awakening’ is a counterfeit salvation.
It is clear as you read ‘A NEW EARTH’ That Eckhart has never experienced the spiritual transformation that Jesus promised to all who would come to Him.
Eckhart’s version of an ‘awakening’ is like a counterfeit salvation. He claims it is a inner transformation that will awakening humanity to a higher plane. We must first ‘recognize’ our dysfunction and that’s the bad news then we can move on to the ‘good news’ The good news of an awakening!
A higher plan of what and by whose power?
Eckhart has not experienced the awesome salvation that God Himself has brought to us.
Salvation in Christ is a spiritual explosion, a ‘new birth’, a ‘regeneration’. When a person receives Jesus as Savior and Lord instantly all sin (real sin) is totally forgiven, you are broken free of satan’s ownership, the sin nature is broken, eternal life is given, the Holy Spirit comes in and unleashes the new nature of Christ and the power to live a new life in Him.
This salvation is the ‘real’ awakening that Jesus called being born again and includes becoming a child and friend of God.
This great salvation Jesus gives brings us into a real personal relationship with God and promises not only the possibilities of growing deep spiritually but also promises and assures that Jesus is coming again PERSONNALLY for us, that there will be a ‘glorification’ of our bodies thus immortality!
O but don’t stop there we who have this true awakening (being born again) the real inner transformation by the love and power of Jesus Christ who by the way provides all this because He willing went to a cross and died for us and rose from the dead by the power of God and ------is ALIVE FOREVER! This unparalled salvation in Christ here and now also guarantees that we will get to see God face to face, be with Him forever and that HE will wipe away all your tears and they shall be no more pain or evil!
‘FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE ……JOHN 3:16
Eckhart has not experienced the awesome salvation that God Himself has brought to us. He does not know the love or power of God, Eckhart does not know God. Eckhart in his book rejects God, the Holy Spirit, the prophets, the apostles teaching….he rejects the Word and Mission and Love of God.
So he like many other new age teachers are bound to lesser spiritual alternatives that have deception as its foundation and spiritual deceit as its building. They perish not because God does not want them but as others "they perish because they refuse to love the Truth and so be saved’ by the love and power of God Himself. (2 Thessalonians 2)
Don’t be deceived dear friends, this is what Jesus warned us about in the scripture. It was foretold that false teachers with false spiritual teaching would come and deceive many.
For those of you who do not know God and do not know the power of the scriptures please be warned. The demonic is real and seeks to lead people astray. Satan can masquerade as a ‘ANGEL OF LIGHT’ and seduce you straight into hell itself.
Take the time to read the Gospel of John for yourself........look at Jesus, all that He is, does and says. He is waiting for you now.
