$piritual Truth  

Science has discovered Dark Matter and Dark Energy in the universe. When you read the first law of thermodynamics you will discover the truth about God and how science proclaims, "Energy cannot be created". Which as the Bible proclaims, God is an all-consuming fire, which means that he is Energy. Throughout history it is said in the Bible, but also the Torah that God holds the universe together. Because of this truth, we must examine how scientific fact, which speaks of "Dark Matter and Dark Energy" could apply to the person of God. It is reported that these two qualities make up the entire structure of our Universe. Although science does not call this God, as they speak of Matter and Energy, it is amazing to hear that this invisible force that they have discovered is made up of most of the Universe.

In physics and cosmology, dark matter is hypothetical matter that does not interact with the electromagnetic force, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. According to present observations of structures larger than galaxies, as well as Big Bang cosmology, dark matter and dark energy account for the vast majority of the mass in the observable universe. The observed phenomena which imply the presence of dark matter include the rotational speeds of galaxies, orbital velocities of galaxies in clusters, gravitational lensing of background objects by galaxy clusters such as the Bullet cluster, and the temperature distribution of hot gas in galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Dark matter also plays a central role in structure formation and galaxy evolution, and has measurable effects on the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background. All these lines of evidence suggest that galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the universe as a whole contain far more matter than that which interacts with electromagnetic radiation: the remainder is called the "dark matter component."

The dark matter component has much more mass than the "visible" component of the universe. At present, the density of ordinary baryons and radiation in the universe is estimated to be equivalent to about one hydrogen atom per cubic meter of space. Only about 4% of the total energy density in the universe (as inferred from gravitational effects) can be seen directly. About 22% is thought to be composed of dark matter. The remaining 74% is thought to consist of dark energy, an even stranger component, distributed diffusely in space.Some hard-to-detect baryonic matter is believed to make a contribution to dark matter but would constitute only a small portion. Determining the nature of this missing mass is one of the most important problems in modern cosmology and particle physics. It has been noted that the names "dark matter" and "dark energy" serve mainly as expressions of human ignorance, much as the marking of early maps with "terra incognita."

Many people ask the question, "Who created God?". What was before God?

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:28-29

As we study the encounters of people who have witnessed the divine Glory of God, we can then discover this pattern of truth which proclaims God as energy. Hebrews 12:29 says that God is an all-consuming fire. We know that fire is energy. God is energy with personality. The first law of thermodynamics speaks of energy and says that it cannot be created, nor destroyed. When Christ appeared to John on the island of Patmos as revelation came to him, he proclaimed to John the Apostle, "I AM the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last". Christ confirms the first law of thermodynamics in his person, by saying this to John. Thus it reveals Christ with God as God's true Son and Co-Ruler with him in the Universe.

The laws of thermodynamics, in principle, describe the specifics for the transport of heat and work in thermodynamic processes. Since their conception, however, these laws have become some of the most important in all of physics and other branches of science connected to thermodynamics. They are often associated with concepts far beyond what is directly stated in the wording.

"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms."

    In any process, the total energy of the universe remains the same.

It can also be defined as:

    for a thermodynamic cycle the sum of net heat supplied to the system and the net work done by the system is equal to zero.

More simply, the First Law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; rather, the amount of energy lost in a steady state process cannot be greater than the amount of energy gained.

This is the statement of conservation of energy for a thermodynamic system. It refers to the two ways that a closed system transfers energy to and from its surroundings - by the process of heating (or cooling) and the process of mechanical work. The rate of gain or loss in the stored energy of a system is determined by the rates of these two processes. In open systems, the flow of matter is another energy transfer mechanism, and extra terms must be included in the expression of the first law.

The First Law clarifies the nature of energy. It is a stored quantity which is independent of any particular process path, i.e., it is independent of the system history. If a system undergoes a thermodynamic cycle, whether it becomes warmer, cooler, larger, or smaller, then it will have the same amount of energy each time it returns to a particular state. Mathematically speaking, energy is a state function and infinitesimal changes in the energy are exact differentials.

All laws of thermodynamics but the First are statistical and simply describe the tendencies of macroscopic systems. For microscopic systems with few particles, the variations in the parameters become larger than the parameters themselves, and the assumptions of thermodynamics become meaningless. The First Law, i.e. the law of conservation, has become the most secure of all basic laws of science. At present, it is unquestioned.

The Law of Attraction is Biblical in every way. Throughout scriptures men of old teach that whatever you "Sow" you will "Reap". Jesus taught this as well. The Law of Attraction teaches the same thing. What you give, is what you get. These powerful truths can give you the know how of how to over-come your greatest challenges in life. Combined with the anointing of God, which is the energy of God and his empowerment, you can thus discover a greater victory in your life as it speaks before the progress of new levels of knowledge and a success you have not witnessed before.

The Law of Attraction teaches that we attract into our lives whatever we focus on. Quantum Physics teaches that nothing is fixed, that there are no limitations, that everything is vibrating Energy. By understanding that everything is Energy in a state of potential and by applying the Law of Attraction to bring into our lives what we focus on, it is never necessary to feel stuck with an undesirable life.

We are Co-Creators of the Universe. The classical physics of Newton takes a material perspective in which the Universe is composed of discrete building blocks, solid and unchangeable. Quantum physics takes a spiritual perspective in which there are no separate parts, in which everything is fluid and always changing.

The physical world is a sea of Energy constantly flashing into and out of existence. It is through our thoughts that we transform this ever-changing Energy into observable reality. Therefore, we can create our reality with our thoughts. With quantum physics, science is leaving behind the notion that human beings are powerless victims and moving toward an understanding that we are fully empowered creators of our lives and of our world.

With Newton, we were insignificant cogs in the Universal Machinery.
With quantum physics, we are Co-Creators of the Universe.

Everything is Energy. Einstein’s 1905 formula E = mc2 explains the relationship between Energy and matter, i.e., that Energy and matter are interchangeable – that, in reality, everything is Energy – dancing, fluid, ever-changing Energy.

This Energy is influenced by our thoughts. It is shapeable, formable, and moldable. As Creators, we shape, form and mold the Energy of the Universe through our thoughts. We transform the Energy of our thoughts into the Energy of our reality.

The Physics of Possibility. The popular movie, What the Bleep Do We Know!?, clarifies that quantum physics is the physics of possibility. We have been conditioned to believe that the external world is more real than the internal world. Quantum physics says just the opposite. It says that what’s happening on the inside determines what’s happening on the outside. It says that our world is shaped by our thoughts.

Since nothing is fixed and everything is in a state of potential, everything is possible. As we understand that everything is possible, and as we focus our thoughts on what we want to attract, we can literally call into existence whatever we desire.

My ten-year old neighbor loves the expression – “It could happen!” He probably doesn’t know much about the physics of possibility, but he practices it with his great attitude. He reminds me to entertain possibility. He reminds me that nothing is impossible.

Dreams into Reality. The Universe exists as infinite potential in infinite abundance. As we focus our thoughts, we have the power to bring our desires into existence, our dreams into reality. As we focus our thoughts, we have the power to be and do and have whatever we desire.

Feng Shui

By Mary Upham, Aslan’s Place

A “new” phenomenon that is affecting the US is actually part of an ancient Chinese philosophy of nature. Feng Shui is now such an influence that many real estate agents take courses to understand it so they can sell houses more readily. Businesses and hotels use the design to attract customers.

What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui [1] (pronounced "fung schwee" and meaning literally "wind water") is part of an ancient Chinese philosophy of nature. Feng shui is often identified as a form of geomancy, divination by geographic features, but it is mainly concerned with understanding the relationships between nature and ourselves so that we might live in harmony within our environment.

Feng shui is related to the very sensible notion that living with rather than against nature benefits both humans and our environment. It is also related to the equally sensible notion that our lives are deeply affected by our physical and emotional environs. If we surround ourselves with symbols of death, contempt and indifference toward life and nature, with noise and various forms of ugliness, we will corrupt ourselves in the process. If we surround ourselves with beauty, gentleness, kindness, sympathy, music and various expressions of the sweetness of life, we ennoble ourselves as well as our environment.

Alleged masters of feng shui, those who understand the five elements and the two energies such as chi and sha (hard energy, the opposite of chi), are supposed to be able to detect metaphysical energies and give directions for their optimal flow. Feng shui has become a kind of architectural acupuncture: wizards and magi insert themselves into buildings or landscapes and use their metaphysical sensors to detect the flow of good and bad "energy." These masters for hire declare where bathrooms should go, which way doorways should face, where mirrors should hang, which room needs green plants and which one needs red flowers, which direction the head of the bed should face, etc. They decide these things on the basis of their feel for the flow of chi, electromagnetic fields or whatever other form of energy the client will worry about.

In short, feng shui has become an aspect of interior decorating in the Western world and alleged masters of feng shui now hire themselves out for hefty sums to tell people such as Donald Trump which way his doors and other things should hang. Feng shui has also become another New Age "energy" scam with arrays of metaphysical products from paper cutouts of half moons and planets, to octagonal mirrors to wooden flutes, offered for sale to help you improve your health, maximize your potential and guarantee fulfillment of some fortune cookie philosophy.

The Origin of Feng Shui

Feng Shui literally means “Wind & Water,” and its origins date back more than 4,000 years. It is based on a Chinese interpretation of the natural world and also the study of heavenly bodies in order to determine the passage of time. It has its origins in Taoism. Over the centuries the interpretation of feng shui grew more complex and became removed from its original purpose. The single factor which sets Feng Shui apart from other philosophical systems is that it has the capacity for change built into it. Withstanding the test of time, Feng Shui has remained a philosophy that can be used in any culture and alongside any belief system.

What should be a Christian response to Feng Shui?

What are some Biblical concepts that relate to Feng Shui?
The Lord calls us to take dominion over our world (Genesis 1:26-28) but He is the Lord over all (Philippians 2:9-11).

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6)

We are to seek Him for wisdom (Colossians 1:9; James 1:5) and guidance (John 16:13), not Feng Shui masters, books, templates etc.

God is clear regarding idols: Have no other gods before Me (Exodus 20:1-17)

Seeking others for wisdom instead of God opens us up to ungodly influences. (Colossians 2:2-4)

Feng Shui has origins in Taoism and has other New Age / occult involvement / witchcraft (Acts 19:18-20)

The Deception of practicing the TM Meditation Program

The TM-Siddhi Techniques & Yoga Testimony of Teri Johnson

In March of 1976, I began practicing TM or the Transcendental Meditation Program as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. A few years later I paid $3000 to learn the Yoga Sutras and faithfully practiced the TM-Sidhi Program until November, 1991 when God Almighty out of His Great Love, Power & Mercy pulled me out of the Occult through Benny Hinn’s Ministry.

As a young girl I would fall asleep in church. Knowledge without an encounter with God is just plain old yucky “religion.” My parents, at the time unsaved, gave me a quigi board and a magic-set for Christmas. I put them to good use. The demonic realm of the spirit began to open up to me.

In my early 20’s I attended an introductory lecture on TM. For years I was in a sexual relationship with the local TM leader and for a short time my home was used for the Center of this movement in my city. I had many friends who were TM Teachers and some of the leaders of this movement were guests in my home. My best-girl friend, Lori, a TM teacher, committed a successful, planned suicide by shooting herself in the head. She believed the lie of “reincarnation” that she would get to come back in another body and try it again until she became enlightened”

As a young lady I was in a stressful sales job. Some of the “benefits” the TM Technique promised me was clearer thinking, better health, more energy, getting rid of stress, causing the weather to improve, reversing the aging process, increasing my intelligence and brain to its full potential, reduction of crime in my city, and creating world peace.

At first I was hesitant to start TM because of my religious upbringing. Maharishi’s appearance as a Hindu monk scared me. However, after having dinner with the local TM teacher and being given a flyer of a religious leader who taught TM at Notre Dame HS, I thought, surely this must be okay if the these religious leaders are doing TM. Later, as my involvement with this cult increased, I attended several “residence courses.” Some were held at a Christian religious retreat house in California. The Christian leaders would cook our food, and I thought I was so “holy.” I did not have a clue at all of what evil I had opened myself to.

A few years later I paid a fee of $3000 to learn more powerful techniques like “yogic-flying.” Some will say, this was just “bouncing around” but the Lord let me know that demonic-power was lifting my body off the ground. I was also taught other advanced techniques (for a price) of invisibility, changing the weather, and walking through walls.

I was taught breathing exercises and yoga positions to practice daily which opened my body up to even more demons. Many innocent people learn these techniques at the local YMCA or local church. They do not have a clue to the evil doors that are being opened up and the demonic contamination of the gateways of our senses.

According to the official TM website as of today over 6 million people have learned this technique which now has a price tag of $2500. The price tag is a lot steeper than that. Personally, I became depressed, suicidal and loaded up with many, many demons.

The TM movement boasts of over 600 scientific research studies at more than 200 universities including Harvard, UCLA and Stanford. Today, according to the official TM website, if you are a Veteran & suffering with “Post-Traumatic Stress-Disorder,” with authorization from your Medical Doctor, the Veterans Benefits Administration will pay the fee for you to start TM. People who get involved in this TM cross all belief systems. You are told it is not a religion because you do not have to believe anything for the technique to work.



TM is Hinduism

Maharishi claims to be an instrument to usher in the “age of enlightenment.” In reality TM is a tool in Satan’s hand to usher in the “One World Government” and “One World Religion” preparing the way and pointing to the appearance of the “Anti-Christ”.

Millions of people have entered into this TM Movement with na? and well-meaning intentions. Some just wanted to get rid of stress.

I have forgiven all those involved in my deception including the leaders of this movement and even Maharishi himself.

Because of my experience with TM I have a new understanding of Matthew 24:24. “For there shall arise false Christ’s & false prophets & shall show great signs & wonders insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

Only by the Amazing Grace of Jesus, the Great Love of Abba Father, and the Power of the Precious Holy Spirit was I set free. God used the ministry of Benny Hinn, his book “Good Morning Holy Spirit” for my initial encounter with The Holy Spirit and the start of much needed deliverance prayer. God used Johanna Michaelsen’s book “Beautiful Side of Evil” to explain to me how I could be so deceived and blinded by the evil “Angel of Light”.

My heart’s desire is that many will have a powerful encounter with the one and only true God, be saved, healed, and completely set free by The Lord of Lords, The King of Kings, Jesus Christ.

What is the difference between a prophet and a psychic?
A psychic may claim to hear spiritually and know what will happen in the future but the difference is the source of the spiritual knowledge. Most psychics have no idea who or what their source of power is. They know they possess a gift and use it but have no understanding of spiritual truth.

A prophet understands the truth about the spiritual realm. A prophet knows that there is a Spirit of God called the Holy Spirit and there are familiar spirits also known as demonic spirits. A prophet knows that only one spirit, the Holy Spirit, leads to God who is Life and all other spirits lead to death. The difference between a prophet and a psychic is that a prophet knows his source, the voice he follows, is God.
