Kundalini in the House of God

First watch this video of Becky Fisher and these children who are being brought up as the Joel’s Army/Samuel Generation.

(Thanks to Sarah [ http://www.falimakoblog.blogspot.com/ ] for finding this youtube for me!!!)
I noticed that one of the boys at around 6 minutes into the video was on the floor shaking in a way that is very similar when the chakras are all aligned, this disturbs me greatly, this looks a lot like what happens when you awaken the kundalini/the serpent, and there is no biblical basis for this practice within biblical christianity (sad to think I have to use that term today - Biblical Christiany - but we have always had gnostic and mystic christianity throughout the church age, Paul even wrote about it in the Bible!).
Just google ‘kundalini + shaking’ and you come up with terms like shaking the tree (this could be related to kaballah, the tree of life - more on this at a later date - which is steeped in occultism, Aleister Crowley was a famous advocate of this, and he was thought to be the ‘most wicked man in England‘, he called himself the beast and finished his works with thenumbers ‘666′ The Beast. He advocated sodomy (pederastic) with young boys to enter into the spiritual realm through the different serifot’s to gain wisdom and to ultimately reach the da’at being the invisible serifot which is an empty void - to enter this was thought to give you hidden knowledge - higher or lower denpending on your level - or send you completely mad. It was a place that was used for unification with hidden knowledge. This from Wiki:
In some occult methods of thought, Daat is a gateway which, upon passing through, inverts the qualities of the sephirothic spheres. The idea most likely derives from Daat being situated upon The Abyss. Aleister Crowley described the abyss as such:
“This doctrine is extremely difficult to explain; but it corresponds more or less to the gap in thought between the Real, which is ideal, and the Unreal, which is actual. In the Abyss all things exist, indeed, at least in posse, but are without any possible meaning; for they lack the substratum of spiritual Reality. They are appearances without Law. They are thus Insane Delusions…Now the Abyss being thus the great storehouse of Phenomena, it is the source of all impressions.”
This leaves the impression that being situated upon that veil provides a gateway into “the void”.
Yeah, unfortunately I use to read his stuff when I was young when I was in my early stage of understanding astral activity and enlightenment etc. Other terms are called shaking the inner snake awake and many more that related to the tree of knowledge. The Chakras represent the serpent that has to be awakened to be aligned and uncoiled. ‘In Plain Site’ has done extensive research into the toronto blessing and the similarities to kundalini yoga. Well worth the read if you are wondering if what is happening in your church circle is biblical or not! It is best not to be ingnorant and to test all things against the Word of God.
Once you start researching the roots of this movement you realise how steeped into hinduism and occultism it really is. It is at the very least not a biblical practice of prayer at the worst an introduction into the occult, I fear the worse to be honest with you, so much so that I am going to red flag this post. Even though main stream churches are adopting this ancient form of mysticism as meditation called centering prayer, or lectio divina, this does not mean it is a biblical form of prayer. It was introduced to the Catholic Church by mystic desert fathers who gained wisdom from the zennist monks.
You don’t have to deviate too far to notice the relationship between Kundalini, Chakras, The Tree of Life/Kabbalah and the higher occultic practices, which I have only briefly touched on.
Anyway, I have just found a little bit more information about Centering Christian Chakras in Church - by the way that post I wrote last year called ‘Centering Christian Chakras - Just you wait and see’, was something that I had hoped would not happen in the church. I actually ended that post with the fateful words…What next? I am just waiting for the new fad of ‘Christian Chakras and how to align them with the use of contemplative prayers‘. It won’t be long... It seems my fears were not unwarrented after all.
The fact is, this is a movement that has found its insidious way into God’s house by the likes of certain men. One man who I am concentrating this post on is Father Thomas Keating who has had major influence on the ‘Emerging Church’. This man is in bed with many well known so called Christian teachers, and I use that term loosly. He has even gone so far as admitting that ‘Centering/Comtemplative/lectio Divina Prayer is the same as ‘Kundalini or Serpent Prayer’. Yep…. you heard me right. Christians are encouraged to do Kundalini to awaken the coiled serpent.
I have found an online book called ‘Kundalini Energy and Christian Spirituality‘ A Pathway to Growth and Healing by Philip St Romain. In that book there is a forward written by Father Thomas Keating where he says the following:
This book is the first description that I know of in Christian literature about the awakening of kundalini energy in a purely Christian context. Kundalini has long been known in Taoist, Hindu, and Buddhist spirituality. The fact that this complete awakening occurred in the context of a classical development of Christian prayer makes it an important contribution to East/West dialogue. Given the newness of the kundalini experience in Christian circles, however, any theological interpretation is bound to be tentative.
Reading the Christian mystics from the perspective of his own experience of kundalini energy, the author sees many examples of its working in the lives of Christian saints and mystics. Since this energy is also at work today in numerous persons who are devoting themselves to contemplative prayer, this book is an important contribution to the renewal of the Christian contemplative tradition. It will be a great consolation to those who have experienced physical symptoms arising from the awakening of kundalini in the course of their spiritual journey, even if they have not experienced it to the full extent described by the author. His compelling testimony is a powerful affirmation of the potential of every human being for higher states of consciousness.
Kundalini is an enormous energy for good, but like all human potentials, it could also be used for selfish motives and thus become a source of serious harm. This is probably the energy that is so attractive in cult leaders; they may well impart a spiritual experience through the transmission of kundalini in a way that we do not yet understand.Energy, however great, is only energy. It is how one uses it that counts. Thus the importance of the moral context in which kundalini is awakened. Most spiritual disciplines worldwide insist on some kind of serious discipline before techniques of awakening kundalini are communicated. In Christian tradition, the exercise of the moral virtues that quiet emotional turmoil, the service of others, and the regular practice of the stages of Christian prayer from discursive meditation to contemplation are the essential disciplines. Without such positive preparation and the passive purifications described by St. John of the Cross, kundalini could serve the purposes of the false self and be used for spiritual power plays, to the great emotional and spiritual damage of other people. Thus, for a Christian at least, it is essential that their energy be directed by the Holy Spirit. In Christian spirituality, the unfolding of the stages of prayer described by St. Teresa of Avila in the Interior Castle may be the fruit of the kundalini energy arising under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Kundalini may also be an active ingredient in the Dark Nights of St. John of the Cross.
Oh, and here is what Father Thomas Keating says about the need for the church to have interfaith dialogue so that we can be properly guided into a safer kundalini experience:
In order to guide persons having this experience, Christian spiritual directors may need to dialogue with Eastern teachers in order to get a fuller understanding. The importance of the “Document on the Non-Christian Religions” comes into focus here. The document states, “the Church therefore has this exhortation for her sons [and daughters]; Prudently and lovingly through dialogue and collaboration with the followers of other religions and in witness of Christian faith and life, acknowledge, preserve and promote the spiritual and moral goods found among these men and women] as well as the values in their society and culture.”
Who are these Christian spiritual directors, and from where do they come and what are they leading the church into? Who are they being unified with? I shudder to think, as I personally know from my experience before being set free from this stuff when I became a born again Christian.
Carla may has indeed just hit the tip of the iceberg when she writes:
Not every Christian organization or program that does something in the name of Christ is necessarily in line with the Bible these days. But that’s nothing new. The following examples are just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much I could say…but where do you start…where do you end?
Here are some things I have compiled over the last week, so I’ll just put them all in one large apostate lump of dough. @More Books and Things - A Call to Repentance
She drops a few names and some helpful links, just to get you started.
