Where had the New Age Movement gone?
Back when I first learned about the NAM about 20 years ago, it seemed like it was ready to launch its antichrist and New World Order in the 1980’s. However, once the cover was blown off the NAM, I think it triggered a response from Christians and met with a great deal of resistance. The plans of the NAM I think have been slower in coming in the U.S. because in many ways we are still a Christian nation. Europe was a lot more prone to adopting the NAM way of thinking. What the people in the NAM have been successful in doing is saturating our society with their buzzwords including in our churches. Now what was jargon is now part of every day language here in the U.S. Most Americans may use the word “interdependence” and not realize how that word became common place. New Agers have infiltrated nearly every Christian denomination and non-denominational churches. They have done so very quietly and almost discreetly without most Christians aware of what has been happening. In my church visualization and guide imagery techniques have been used in a “Christian” way. This only furthers the conditioning of people to accept this as an alternative to prayer. However, what church out there doesn’t have some New Age influence. Some denominations have been hit very hard by NAM infiltration and have created riffs within churches. Hit very hard has been the Episcopal Church. My denomination is United Methodist which is also heavily under attack, but there does seem to be a strong, conservative element that has so far kept us from splintering as far as the Episcopal Church.
I’ll write more later. I need to go to bed and get ready for the time change tomorrow.
