How to Obtain New Age Enlightenment

How to Obtain New Age Enlightenment

The following article is still under refinement. I have included it because it might be of enlightenment to you even as I write it.

Many over the years have asked me to share with them how to obtain enlightenment in new age. As most already know I’ve had a rich and complicated past in the deeper areas of the new age movement in regards to: I know firsthand how absolutely alluring to new age movement can be, how awesome the sensations and powers can be, even how emotionally seductive the entire experience is. Experiencing the deep levels of New Age was one of the most gripping, exhilarating, exhausting, rewarding, damaging, difficult and hurtful things I’ve ever done.

After decades of deepening my powers, capabilities and spiritual walk in new age, I came to the realization that new age was more hurtful than beneficial in my life and the lives of those closest to me. I have waged war against many evil spirits, been “blessed” by what appeared to be the present many great spirits. Experienced joy and enlightenment that few can even describe, but have also experienced more horror, torment, fear and negative emotions and experiences than one should ever in a lifetime.
Many say that I just experienced “bad energy” or I just “did it wrong” but after any year years on a new enlightening path I can stand firmly on the statement that new age, no matter how alluring freeing, or powerful it may seem, is merely counterfeit when compared to freedom, full expression, healing and uninhibited joy that one can truly experience through a more complete means.
I have experienced a new love and enlightenment that now makes my greatest works in new age look like a candles standing beside a 10 foot flame.

I have personally found that as a deepened in my walk in new age, I found new higher heights of experiences but also new lower lows. I would have to “meditate” more or “recharge myself” more and even fight more against the dark sides that attach themselves to the “light” that I was obtaining through new age.

What is this new love and experience I am speaking of? Is it is disturbingly simple, and took more courage to accept than anything else I had ever experienced. But before I go there, allow me share with you a concept I have learned over the years:

I’ve learned that every new age gift has a close parallel with a more extensive gift when an individual allows themselves to have a direct relationship to the creator of the universe (and not just the universe itself). I’ve learned by my experience is that every single new age gift also comes with a curse that exhibits itself when least expected. For example: I would learn a new form of enlightenment and then weeks later I would lose my job (or receive persecution) for no real reason. Or I would receive new emotional heights of awareness but then experience deep depression days later and then I would have to learn how to defeat these situations by erecting shields or meditating my way around them (or something of that sort). Is was like for every blessing, a hidden but negative string was attached and it is for that reason I call these gifts counterfeit. I’ve learned how to transform my old ‘gifts’ into new creations without any strings attached. I have learned how to accept a God that wants to heal and love me unconditionally while providing for me personally and fulfilling every desire of my heart; a God that promises much and delivers even more. For me, it was a very scary concept that first but as I thought through it more and more, I could not find a reason why not. If this God knew me better than I knew myself and was willing to fulfill all the things I yearned for the most. As difficult as it was, I was able relinquish control of my life order to experience a greater, more free life that was at that time, unknown and hardly understood by me. But in part, that was the excitement of it all. It has now been proven to me over many years that this decision was the best decision I had ever made in my entire life, and I believe will always be. My life is now everything I thought it would be and more. I am not saying that I have not had my bumps upon the way, but all in all I would not change my new inheritance for even the greatest riches of this earth and even spiritual universe.

I have learned when you remove the “religion” from Christianity, burn away all the manmade expectations, rules and crap that have wounded so many over the centuries, and look at solely at the relational side of your journey with God and the promises that He has made for you, a far more new and enlightening experience can, and will be revealed to you. To be quite honest with you, for me I realize it has been a journey that even most professing “Christians” barely even know of, yet alone understand. And that is a tragedy.

So in my new experiences I have now learned that each New Age gift is based from a powerful, spiritual God-given gift that has been stripped of much of its greatness and replaced with a lesser partly poisoned reality. So here is a brief list of mighty spiritual powers and capabilities that you will inherit if you give God the ability to give them to you. I have also directly put beside these big gifts, diluted counterfeit powers experienced in new age. I now know that these new age experiences did not even light a candle to what experience that I now have by maintaining a direct and spiritually intimate relationship with Abba God the creator of all things.

To everything there’s a counterfeit:
Prophetic -> Psychic Powers (fortune telling, seeing the future, speaking to the spirit world)
General Intercession -> Spiritual Healing, Sorcery, Witchcraft, Mind Control
Deep Prayer -> Self Guided Healing, Meditation, Energy Manipulation, Spirit Communication, Reiki and other 'Alternative Therpies'
Spiritual Warfare Intercession -> Wizardry, Spell Casting, Wiccan Foundations
Worship -> Astral Projection, Meditation, Yoga, etc
Meditation Fellowship with God -> Meditation, Past Life Experiences

A neat thing I’ve found is that we as human beings are born yearning for many of these spiritual gifts (much like how children yearn for love) because many of these Gifts are even relationship experiences that new age tries to fulfill. In general I have found that since the church (in general) is not equipped to fulfill the learning of these gifts, Christians and even non-Christians search in other directions to find answers and eventually find some elements in new age. And the truth be known that when we do this, we actually selling ourselves short of the greatness we can personally experience and share with others because we are opting to settle for a lesser / half poisoned gift in new age, rather than a complete - all consuming and exhilarating / completely fulfilling journey with the creator of the world and all that is new age and spiritual. In essence we give up a relationship with the creator to then worship and fall prey to elements of the creation. In essence, as powerful as new age is, we end up settling for less than 10% of fulfillment, grace, peace and power we can receive in the spiritual realm by a direct relationship with God. Let alone the inheritance of pure and complete joy that has been prepared for us upon our death. Because of spiritual laws in place, we must die before we can experience the fullness of the reality that is yet to come as part of our inheritance if we choose to receive an accept it.

If you have any questions, please e-mail me and I’ll try to lead you in the right direction.

If you have never begun this journey, or would like to begin shedding the counterfeit giftings of new age for the real McCoy, you can personalize a prayer like this one. This is only a start. The best is yet to come:
God, I now know you love me and that you know me personally and want the best of my life. I want to experience the fullness I can experience by having a direct relationship with you. I ask you to be my guide. To deliver me from the negative spirits and experiences around me and provide for me a Life of true spiritual enlightenment while journeying ever deeper with you. I am sorry for sinning or doing things to damage my relationship with you, because in doing these things I’ve learned that I’ve not only hurt you, but also hurt myself and the fullness I can experience in life. Father God, I ask that you prepare for me a place in heaven and be my spiritual counselor so that I can learn the ways of your spirit and the fullness that waits for me. I give you my life, I give you my all, in trust that you will return it to me healed, and in better condition than how I gave it to you. I give you my everything and thank you for being a God in which I can place my trust and have a personal relationship with. Renew me lord, be my personal savior and take me under your wing. Guide me and teach me, shine your love upon me and let me feel your love and spirit now as I pray. Fill be with you understanding; fill me with your holy spirit. Grant me a new life with you.

As God promised to us many years ago:
“Ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be given to you”. There are many promises that God has laid out in His relationship with you. As you learn these promises and can hold Him to them like Moses did on Mount Sinai, many miraculous things will begin to happen in your life.
The next step is to find mentorship in your life that can lead you to the fulfillment I have described in my article. I will be more than happy to help however I can. We are to firmly trust in God because He promises to never “leave or forsake us” even though “man” will often hurt and ridicule us. For the record, God is not the “Church”. Many have been hurt from the church, and many have been blessed. Church is a man made thing with the intent to worship God but nothing compares to a deep and meaningful personal relationship with Him.
Many of us have experienced things in our lives that might even anger ourselves and want to rebel against God, I have learned over the years that the things that used to anger me about God was often because I mis-understood God and how He truly works in my life and the lives of others. That often the things I blamed Him for wasn’t even His fault. As strange as this concept may sound, it is true. But that is another article that I guess I must write soon.

May the lord Bless and Keep you. May he shine his loving light upon you. May He show you great favor and grant you complete and all-fulfilling peace. May you grow to know his spirit and separate truth from deception. May we meet one day in heaven and rejoice in the greatness that He has done in your life, and the greatness you are about to experience. Be blessed my brother / sister in Christ.

By the way, if you prayed the above prayer, often the enemy will want to rise up right away and try to steal the gifts that you are about to receive. It important that you right away find leadership that can walk with you and lead you to fulfillment in life. I wish you only the best and I am here if I can help you in any way.
