While I was driving to work today, I pondered the subject of the day; what would I write about? Then all of the sudden on the radio I hear the voice of none other than Oprah Winfrey inviting me to watch her show today. The subject of the day is going to be one of her new age friends, Dr. Oz(Don’t even get me started on that name Mr. Wizard!!!), mass hypnotizing the audience and getting them to “transcend” into their past lives.
On her site, it tells a story of Dr. Brian Weiss that had a patient that he hypnotized and found out that she had 86 past lives. He then became an expert in the subject and would like to explain how past lives work.
The problem here is that Oprah has lead people to believe that she is a Christian woman and bringing people back to God. She puts on these web schools to teach a book that is not Christian at all. Then when she has the masses convinced, she begins to start to put in shows about past life regressions, which is clearly not a Christian subject. The Christians who had been sucked into her world watch it, and they begin to believe. So now she has altered your beliefs again, opening up the door just a little each time, until you are no longer on the path that God laid before us at all; and you still consider yourself a Christian all the while!
I can hear people now saying that it is just hypnosis it is not bad. But let me phrase it this way “putting yourself or someone else in a meditative trance to have visions of other worlds, places, people, and times.” It is what Wiccans call ‘Astral Projection’ and it is very much a part of the witchcraft religion. But we are Christians…..and walking a very thin line.
What new age subject will you follow Oprah into next? And how far will you go before you look back and realize that you left God long ago?
Be careful out there!
