Atheism to New Age to Catholicism w/ Alex Jones

[@nojo1986]

As an Atheist-new age- Catholicsm listener, I am SOOOO EXCITED for this topic. While I absolutely believe that I'm loved as a wholly undeserving and rebellious child of God, the impacts that new age left on my faith factor is one of the stains I practically have to deal with. I wonder if this will be discussed, but it's a big reality for those coming out of this new age fog. The new age quite literally teaches that we, humans, are all gods (I know it sounds insaaaaane to Christians but that old serpent lie is alive and well and rebranding itself all the time!) And the actual... metaphysical-type power experienced in these practices is difficult to shake. Prayers for everyone who left that nonsense behind for the TRUTH. ❤️❤️📿🕊️

[@mcspankey4810]

The new age movement is literally going to be the one world religion of the New World Order (the devils short reign on earth) see revelation 13

[@CarlosLupo]

God bless you

[@AbsurdScandal]

Yep. The enemy can make one believe crazy things and conjure all sorts of false born-again like experiences. But the Truth of God is one of a kind, and when truly tasted distinguishes itself from even the most convincing of fake wines. And (in case you might need this, though I fully get the point of humility, especially when exposed to demonic deceptions) don't worry about being an undeserving child of God - it simply means you're loved and considered worthwhile to be given gift you can't merit and don't deserve! And just like a child is completely helpless and depends on his parents to live, so too do we even more humbly depend on our heavenly Father to live and exist, without Whom we can do nothing, and in whom we live and breathe and have our being - so there is no place for pride there. As for the after-effects left, I don't know what particular advice to give, but I think joining faithful Catholic prayer groups might be a good idea for this, or to pray any deliverance prayers that are available to Catholic laypeople to pray. Anyways, God bless you!

[@krysta-ajhaah-min-yah8368]

Can you briefly describe your New Age practices? I want to see if it's Metatronic or Krystic. What helped you leave the New Age? What dilemma did you face when choosing between NA and Catholicism? I am also struggling but the reason I stay stuck (although my other belief is not categorized as New Age) is the distinction between Krystic (original eternal) and Metatronic technologies.... Most New Age runs on Metatronic false light....

[@mcspankey4810]

@@krysta-ajhaah-min-yah8368 I am Catholic because Jesus established this church and it holds the fullness of the faith, I didn’t convert to the Catholic Church right out of the new age though, I had an anti catholic Protestant phase for about a year or so - My new age practices involved the chakra system, self worship (affirmations and all that lol) and communication with “spirit guides.” I was in really deep (it’s tough to think about how bad I was) but my practice mainly revolved around manifesting my own divinity (completely luciferian) and acquiring psychic abilities through meditation and channeling energy (I see now literal demons would ride in on that channel I opened through “chakras” which are just psychic portals into your body that allow literally anything to enter you (if God allows them of course, he has control over that, by the grace of God I was never possessed just demonically tomented for about a year straight). I could go on, there was so much I was doing it’s hard to remember - I was obsessed with the idea I was a star seed, indigo child, all that jazz, it’s deceptive my friend. Please I just need you to know how real this all is and it is not safe to be in any kind of spiritual practice that is not sanctioned by the church Jesus established (the one he promised to guide into all truth). Please tread carefully, this is a literal warning from someone who was in there real damm deep and I need you to know to trust in Jesus Christ the God Man with all of your being because he made you and He is what your soul absolutely longs for. Your here for a reason, please know he is what your being is absolutely thirsty and hungry for, we all wish for our souls to be nourished by him like how a baby is nourished by mommas milk. Gos bless you and please ask the blessed Virgin Mary to take you to her son. Ask Blessed Bartolo Longo to pray for your soul (he was an ex occultist and now beatified Catholic). If you’d like to talk to me about this more please do, I’m here to help

Lord, I praise You because.... Your loving kindness endures forever. Psalm 107 8-9 "Communion is a strong bell of mindfulness. We eat and drink all the time, but we usually ingest only our ideas, projects, worries, and anxieties. We do not really eat our bread or drink our beverage. If we allow ourselves to touch our bread deeply, we become reborn, because our bread is life itself. Eating it deeply, we touch the sun, the clouds, the earth, and everything in the cosmos. We touch life, and we touch the Kingdom of God. When I asked Cardinal Jean Danielou if the Eucharist can be described in this way, he said yes." Thich Nhat Hahn A university student while visiting Gasan asked him: "Have you ever read the Christian Bible?" "No, read it to me," said Gasan. The student opened the Bible and read from St. Matthew: "And why take ye thought for rainment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these... Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself." Gasan said: "Whoever uttered those words I consider an enlightened man." The student continued reading: "Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened." Gasan remarked: "That is excellent. Whoever said that is not far from Buddhahood."

I'm unfortunately unconvinced by this particular guest. Jordan Peterson is probably the most convincing. He makes the point that taking on the faith will lead you to jump into life in a full hearted way kind of like jumping into a cold pool at first and thus lead to the most fulfilling way. But the faith has to be adopted and fully committed to. That's probably true and can be rationalized. Still doesn't prove the whole thing but thats probably irrelevant

I was a Christian for most of my life and for me, it led to major OCD and eventually I went to a mental hospital. I have major anxiety and meditation through Calm helps me bring my heightened nervous system down to a level so I can handle the day ahead. How is this wrong? I really wanted to go to church way back when, but it brought a heaviness to me and that's something I just didn't want. Even just talking about religion now gives me major anxiety. Going back to that doesn't seem like it would help me in the long run. How would you respond to this?

[@abigailfranz3398]

I can't speak to your exact situation, but I had something similar when I was younger and have since healed enough (with therapy) to return to my faith without reservations. The important thing to remember is that it's not Christianity causing your OCD; it's OCD using Christianity because it attacks what's most important to you. I hope that makes sense.

[@shelion77]

Were you a Catholic, because if you are/were, at least in your beliefs I strongly recommend just the Adoration prayer, only that for a while. Let the Lord heal you. He gives "peace that transcends all understanding", the devil gives anxieties, particularly if it's sth that drew you away from your faith. If not Catholic - just pray, God is gentle and patient, you'll take as long as you need and God will guide you all the way. And as for meditation - I'd think Christian mediation is superior to other forms, since it's not like a "painkiller" type, because it heals you and lets you grow spiritually. I'll be praying for you. I have recently heard two stories, one on "To grow good" (almost exclusively conversion stories) and another on Touched by Heaven - in both cases there were serious anxiety problems and these were conversion stories. It showed beautifully how God heals, but also that even when you do suffer, He is always there with you.

[@kimfleury]

I haven't heard either of them, but when Alex imitated Francis's voice I thought it sounded like the guy from St. Luke Productions, who leads some of the Rosaries on the Laudate app, which I've used for about 6 years. There are also some Rosary podcasts led by women, I think Heart of Mary is one. They definitely keep me awake, but I can't concentrate on the prayers when listening to them. I listen to the Scriptural Rosary which is prayed by a man who isn't identified. I can focus on the meditations with that one. And then I switch to either of the ones prayed by Christian Peschken, which puts me to sleep.

[@laurameszaros9547]
