:emot-blahblah::b::P:24::24:

You're doing this in a public school?!?!?!?!? That is a MAJOR violation of Church and state! It's forcing you to partake in a New Age/Eastern religion that forces you to meditate in order to seperate the mind from the soul and have a religious "experience." It forces a person to essentially "shut off" his or her mind and rely on meditation. It has NOTHING to do with an English course...absolutely NOTHING!

It might be more fun than learning English. :emot-blahblah: Evil isn't good though unless it brings others to Christ.

I hope nobody gets irritated with me for posting this here (it's only indirectly related to the topic), but it makes me so angry that this sort of thing is going on in public schools! I am not at all surprised, mind you, just angry. It is quite common. The Bible, and anything to do with Christ is forbidden, but PRACTICING other religions (not just learning about them) is welcome. Students are led in mystic practices and even being hypnotized without parental consent. I know this from personal experience from when I was in high school. It is a fact that the majority of of people in the "new age" movement wake their livings as educators. It is such blatant hipocrisy, and also a blatant disregard for not only the law, but also the boundaries of a teacher's authority.

Schools use the fact that several prominent American writers started the movement as a way to create a distinct culture and style set apart from other influences- something truly American.

But, there's a whole lot more to it than that.

It is troubling to see schools praise this, but demonize Christianity.

Um.. I think I need to clear up something.. we aren't actually "meditating".. we are merely learning about it, analyzing works such as Walden, by Thoreau... etc.... It finally got to me when last Thursday, we had to fill in an overhead titled "How much of a Transcedentalist(spelling?) are you"... my teacher basically took quotes from Walden, took out words, and had us fill it in for a grade. For instance, Walden says, "Cultivate povery, like an herb, like sage"... We were given "Cultivate__________, like a ____________, like _________________" and she wanted us to fill in the blanks with our own words. Being unable to do so, I completely dumbfounded by this entire concept. I went into the chat last night and got some really good answers, and as I told one who help tremendously, that I finally have a foundation to understanding this concept(just to get through this class)....

Can anyone possibly explain in simple english as to what this is? The dictionary really hasn't helped me...

Thoreau was not a transcendentalist..but your teacher might be!

They practice blanking out their mind and opening up to spirits... it is demonic and never for one who knows Christ to do this.

There are different levels and couriousness leads many astray into things like this who do not know Christ.

They do not distinguish between their own minds and the evil spirit s affecting them.

Far as poverty she is talking, they are spiritually in great poverty! No one ever sacrificed more than Christ and no one deserves our sacrificies more than HE! Water in HIS Name is important.

Doing with less, is a whole phylosophy of the walk light on the earth nonsence, when one can be environmentally living well without neclecting us as if we weren't meant to be here!

I think your teacher is teachingthings that are really wrong and bad influence. BUt, we can know the enemy and his ways and defeat them in CHrist!

Take care, be wise in Christ dear sister, :th_frusty:

Your brain is too infected with inferior baseball teams to understand the truth.

You are confusing transcendentalism with tedscendentalism..... :)

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
