They have ventured into a mysterious world lackingthe sound guidance that Christianity offers. When one encounterspreternatural powers the question does need to be posed: what isthe origin and nature of these powers? If they are not from the Godrevealed by Jesus Christ, then where do they come from? Venturingfurther into this exotic world can lead a person to embracing a beliefin and a personal subjection to powers that do not come from thetrue God.' - From the foreword by Archbishop Julian Porteous.Repackaged for Westerners as secular practices based on ancient philosophies,the Eastern disciplines of yoga, Tai chi and reiki still retain the core assumptionsof their Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist origins: all three teach the non-existenceof good and evil, and strive for the divinisation of the self.Now in its second edition and with a new chapter addressing themodern mind-emptying practice labelled 'Christian Meditation,' this bookis a timely warning of the emotional and spiritual dangers of exercisesdesigned to induce an altered state of consciousness, and a call to returnto the authentic spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ.
