New Age Movement: Channeling the Spirit World
1Tim.4:1
" Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils;"
"He shall honour the God of forces: a god whom his fathers knew
not"... he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall
wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and
laws Dan:7:25;11:38

In the mid Nineteenth Century there was an American outbreak of
Spiritualism, and now a 'New Wave' of Spiritualism is sweeping across
America in the form of New Age 'Channeling'. Channeling is the
communication of information to or through a human being from a source
that is said to exist on some other level or dimension of reality than
the physical.
There is an im****tant difference between that Spiritualism that
was practiced during the mid Nineteenth Century with their seances and
the New Age Channeling Movement today. During the old style seances
the Medium supposedly conjured up the Spirit of a deceased Relative,
specifically to communicate a message of a personal nature, while
modern Channeling involves communicating with a 'Spirit' who is an
unrelated Being who communicates messages of guidance, knowledge or
direction for the New Ager.
These channeled Beings will give discourses on the nature of
God, Humanity, and the Universe, during which time they will always
seem to confirm the New Age views on these subjects. They present the
"All is One" concept in the most alluring manner, and seem to validate
that the New Age belief system was right all along. Satan's new method
is to try to make Spiritualism seem "Christian", and of course, there
is no true Biblical sup****t for the New Age views; and so the Devil
uses 'The Spirits' to confirm these views instead. It is the only
'proof' that they have!
Beside the fact that the Spirits seem to confirm their
pantheistic worldview, New Agers also love to talk to these 'Spirit
Beings' because it gives them a feeling of having a God to talk to,
which they otherwise would not have. Their impersonal view of God as a
'Force of Nature' leaves them without a personal God to listen to them
when they need an all-knowing Being to know what's inside their
hearts. They may be able to talk about God as a force but they cannot
talk to God as a personal Being. The New Age practice of communicating
with their own Inner Self or Higher Self helps to take the edge off
their loneliness but channeling the Spirit World offers them an
exciting and exotic option -allowing them to talk to actual "Beings"
who will talk back to them and even answer their questions about life.
Former Top New Age Leader Randall Baer tells the story of his
experiences with some of these channeled Spirits in his book Inside
the New Age Nightmare. (Please keep in mind that any time I refer to
these Spirit Beings that they are merely Randall Baer began to get
more and more drawn into the lies of these Spirit Entities as time
went by. Let's read about his story:
"The spirit would began to speak to us (he and his girlfriend, Vicki)
explicitly and directly. All of a sudden Vicki would go into a trance.
Then a Spirit would come into her body and animatedly speak. I
couldn't believe what was happening.
These electrically compelled spirits would come in and identify
themselves, and then proceed to convey some august universal message
of great im****t. I found that I even could converse with these 'high
and wide' spirit-entities. They would answer my questions with what
sounded like great wisdom and supernatural prescience. The variety of
spirits coming and going was astounding- I talked with 'Eagle', 'White
Cloud', 'Serapis Bey', 'Ascended Master Kut-humi', 'Mary', 'Golden-
helmeted Ones', 'Green Ray Master', and a host of others. The power
emanating from these spirits was overwhelming and entrancingly
intoxicating.
For hours at a time, spirit after spirit would come into Vicki's body
and speak through her. She was totally oblivious to what was being
said and done. It was like she was tucked away somewhere while the
spirits tem****arily would 'use her vehicle', as they said, to speak to
me.
I was flabbergasted by what they told me. Distilling the volumes of
information, essentially this array of exalted 'Universal Masters' and
'Servants of the Light' told me this: that Vicki and I, and a few
select others like us around the world, were receiving a 'grand
dispensation' to be the vanguard 'Bearers of the New Age Light' to
lead the world into the fast-approaching 'Golden Age of Oneness'."
Randall Baer, Inside the New Age Nightmare, pg. 29
So what is the real source of these intrusions from the Spirit
World? Why is there such an explosion of these experiences at this
time in mankind's history? What Doctrines are these Spirit Entities
teaching? At this time, we will take a look at some of the most
popular New Age Channelers and their Spirit Entities who speak through
them; and after that, we will go into more detail about the messages
that they are bringing to mankind.
RAMTHA- CHANNELED BY J.Z.KNIGHT
In a small town called Yelm, Wa****ngton there was a housewife by
the name of J.Z. Knight, who is a pretty honey-blonde 40 year old
woman... someone you wouldn't expect to be channeling a supposedly
35,000 year old Spirit named Ramtha.
Ramtha, who calls himself "The Enlightened One" is said to be
one of those Ascended Masters who have evolved into a God. Speaking
through J.Z. Knight, Ramtha said:
"I am a sovereign entity who lived a long time ago upon Earth. In that
life I did not die: I ascended, for I learned to harness the power of
my mind and to take my body with me into an unseen dimension of life.
I am now a part of an unseen brotherhood who love mankind greatly. We
are your brothers who hear your prayers and your meditations and
observe your movements to and fro.
All of you are very im****tant and precious to us, because the life
that flows through you and the thought that is coming to every one of
you however you entertain it, is the intelligence and the life-force
that you have termed God. It is the essence that connects all of us,
not only to those upon your plane, but to those in untold universes
which you have not yet the eyes to see.
Throughout history, we have tried many different avenues to remind you
of your greatness, your power, and the foreverness of your life. We
have been king, conquerer, crucified Christ, teacher, friend,
philosopher- anything that would permit knowledge to occur. At times
we have intervened in your affairs to keep you from annihilating
yourselves, so that life here would continue to provide a playground
for your experiences and your evolution into joy." -Ramtha, Channeled
by J.Z. Knight, as re****ted in New Age Catalog, pg. 5
This Spirit Being had come to J.Z. Knight, as a result of her
fooling around with occult things. She and her husband had been
dabbling with Pyramid Power. According to New Agers, pyramids and
triangles are believed to possess certain special powers. Some wear
miniature pyramid around their necks to bring positive energy forces
into their bodies. Others make paper or cardboard pyramids and place
them near foodstuffs, believing them to have preservative powers.
It was while J..Z. Knight and her husband were making paper
pyramids to put in their kitchen cupboards to preserve food that the
demon-spirit Ramtha appeared in their kitchen as a "huge being of
light". Please understand that in nearly every case- these "Spirit
Beings" come because someone is dabbling in Occultism. In commenting
upon the demon-possessed man that Jesus had healed, Christian Writer,
Ellen White said:
"He had placed himself on the enemy's ground, and Satan had taken
possession of all his faculties. The tempter had allured him with many
charming presentations; but when once the wretched man was in his
power, the fiend became relentless in his cruelty, and terrible in his
visitations. So it will be with all who yield to evil; the fascinating
pleasure of their early career ends in the darkness of despair or the
madness of a ruined soul." -Desire of Ages, pg. 253.
This is why All Christians who are in any way getting involved
in Occult techniques such as Visualization, Eastern Meditation,
Relaxation techniques, mood-altering music, Whole Brain Learning, or
any of the other New Age practices, need to wake up and remove their
feet from off of Satan's territory, because by doing those things, you
are virtually inviting demon control!
Now, getting back to J.Z. Knight and her initial encounter with
Ramtha. The Spirit Entity Ramtha promised this housewife that he would
be her guide on her journey to 'Becoming a God.' He also promised to
use her as a channel of blessing to the world. And now, he even
channels his 'ancient wisdom' through her in seminars, and has even
done this on National Television. Ramtha the Spirit Entity is also
known as The Ram. The Ram is also known as the goat, which has long
been a symbol of Satan. "The Ram" announced, through J.Z. Knight that
"In the seed of Lucifer lies God and demons".
Before J.Z. Knight had been taken over by "Ramtha" -according to
one of her High School former Classmates, Sandy Fallis, Knight was
once at a Christian Prayer Meeting and she suddenly began speaking in
a strange male voice, who identified itself as a demon named Demias,
said Fallis in a segment of ABC's television show 20/20. She was
holding her neck, according to Sandy Fallis, and saying "I can't
breathe!" and at that point the male voice broke out again and said,
"You want this body and you can't have it!" J.Z. Knight denies this
incident ever occurred, however.
When J.Z. Knight was once on television being interviewed, she
entered a trance, in order for the entity Ramtha to be channeled
through her. She became very still and began to breathe deeply (which
is an Eastern Meditation Occult technique). She then contorted, tossed
her head around as if being animated like a puppet, and then strange
growling sounds were heard, as she began to be transformed into
Ramtha. She stood erect, and acted like a marionette with jerking
motions. Everybody in the audience sat spellbound, as if hanging upon
every word that Ramtha uttered. They seemed to see it as a "Message
from God".
J.Z. Knight now travels from city to city, typically introducing
Ramtha by entering, into an altered state of consciousness, beginning
to shake, and then suddenly going limp. Ramtha then manifests himself
through her and starts spouting off his typical New Age "wisdom", that
the audience has paid large amounts of money to hear. The message
usually revolves around the idea that we are all Gods, and that even
Lucifer is "Divine". Knight now lives in Yelm, Wa****ngton, and scores
of followers flock there to this farming community of about 1,400
people 55 miles south of Seattle to be close to Ramtha the Spirit
Guide. She even has a following among Hollywood's elite, including
Linda Evans, from the T.V. Show Dynasty. One published re****t claims
that Evans has already bought a $1.5 million home about a thirty
minute drive from J.Z. Knight's residence.
JANE ROBERTS AND SETH
Psychologist Jane Roberts, back in the 1960's, first met a
Spirit who identified himself as Seth, when she started experimenting
with an Ouija Board. An Ouija Board is a mechanism that is used to
contact the Spirit World and upon it there are letters with which the
Spirits can spell out messages. The Board also has the words Yes and
No upon it. If you will recall, J.Z. Knight first had her meeting with
the Spirit "Ramtha" after fooling around with Occult Pyramids. Being
in any way connected with occultic practices leaves one vulnerable to
demonic forces, and can become extremely dangerous!
Miss Roberts was thereafter able to discard her Ouija Board and
speak on her own for the Spirit 'Seth', who from then on seemed to
possess her. Jane Roberts then went on to publish thousands of pages
known as The Seth Materials, which became quite famous. She also went
on to conduct over 500 sessions with Seth. Her material was published
in a series and became available in Book Stores all over America, and
were an overnight sensation among New Agers and others who were
interested in the Occult.
Soon, those who had read the Seth Materials began to meet at
local homes all around the United States and even overseas to study
these materials in groups. Seth told his followers that doing Eastern
Meditation was very im****tant for your Spiritual growth and would aid
them in contacting the Spirits.
Each year in Austin, Texas, Seth disciples from around the world
gather to study the Seth materials in depth, and to fellow****p
together. At one of these particular yearly meetings, the Seth
followers were taught how to speak in tongues and to combine this with
holy dancing. This of course, is what is done in Pentecostal Holiness
Churches, which is in fact- Spiritualism.
During these tongue-speaking sessions, the Seth disciples were
instructed on how to perform "Sumari", which supposedly is a language
that is not really "language" in the normal sense of the word. Its
im****tance is upon the sounds rather than upon its written patterns,
and these sounds supposedly have a certain "power" when spoken.
Jane Roberts, channeler of the Seth Entity, described her first
experience in speaking in Tongues:
"I heard a babble of voices in strange languages. I didn't know what I
was supposed to do with them, but I knew that something was expected
of me. Suddenly I began to chant words in a loud, ringing voice:
'Sumari, Ispania, Wena nefarie, Dena dena nefarie, Lona, Lana, Lana
Sumare.' Then in a whisper someone else said in my voice, in other
words coming from my mouth, but it was someone from inside of me, 'I
am Sumari, you are Sumari, throughout the ages you have been Sumari. I
am acquainting you with your heritage.' At the same time a delicious
warmth filled my body. It came like a glow, from inside, radiating
outward"
Of course, this was a demon who was speaking through Jane
Roberts! The Devil used Roberts in a big way, because this widespread
interest in Seth gave rise to the current channeling movement. With
Seth was opened a whole new chapter in the history of American
Spiritualism.
It used to be that New Agers had to go see an 'all-wise Guru'
for instruction in Spiritual matters; but now you no longer needed a
spiritually qualified instructor. You could listen to a channeled
entity, who of course had "all the answers" about life. The Channeler
need not even be qualified as a teacher, because the entity who was
speaking through him or her was believed to be the "wise teacher" who
was actually doing the teaching.
Then there's Jach Pursel, who channels an entity called Lazaris.
Jach and his wife Peny were very involved in doing Eastern Meditation,
but Jach had a reoccuring problem with falling off to sleep after a
certain amount of time during these Meditation sessions. But not one
certain time! One time when Jach had been doing his Eastern Meditation
and had seemed to doze off, he suddenly began speaking in a strange
voice! His wife Peny started asking questions and this "voice" who was
speaking through Jach would answer. She became convinced that another
Being had taken over her husband's body and was talking through him.
This same thing happened again and again, but Jach seemed to be unable
to remember any of it.
Jach chose to name the entity Lazaris, and eventually-
channeling Lazaris became a common occurrence for him. He started
giving public lectures, weekend workshops, and private consultations,
with Lazaris doing all of the talking. Lazaris, the Spirit Entity
claims that he is there to "love you when you're ready to be loved"
and that "he will guide you on your spiritual journey home to God!
Goddess! The All, or whatever you choose to call it".
Lazaris also talks about growing towards your magnificent Higher
Divine Self and even leads the listener step by step in preparation to
meet his or her "Higher Self" (the Divine part of you that resides
within, supposedly). He then further instructs on how to maintain a
continuing relation****p with "It". Of course, this demonic entity is
in reality leading people to converse with other demonic presences,
who mask themselves as the "Higher Self" within.
