Needing an antidote to so much immersion in worldly concerns, looking for inspiration to turn me back to God, I've found some, some good devotional poetry, some meditations on the life of Christ and that sort of thing. But I've also seen how much there is out there that pretends to be about Christ but is designed to mislead a person into false religion. Hinduism has always co-opted Christ and there is a lot of that out there, even claims that He *really* taught Kundalini. There is also a Buddhist mindfulness meditation that presents itself as Christian.
Another trend of this is the Mormon influence. One would think that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir should be an innocent enough indulgence. The music can be quite good. Andrea Bocelli sang The Lord's Prayer with them and it was breathtakingly beautiful. I was just looking up the hymn "Jesus the Very Thought of Thee With Sweetness Fills the Breast" and found them doing that too. It's jarring to realize that their idea of Jesus is about as profane as it gets, even to his supposedly being the brother of Lucifer. It is hard to imagine them even being able to sing such exalted lyrics in the context of their actual beliefs. So although I was attracted to the music I think it best to ignore them.
It figures of course that there would be a lot of false doctrine along these lines as we approach the Day of the LORD. Anything to deflect people from the simple truth of salvation and mire them in demonic pseudospirituality. It can be quite dazzling and seductive. The demons are supernatural beings after all.
As usual I can only hope and pray that the Lord will save many out of these deceptions. I still need to spend more time myself in biblical meditations so I don't want to go more deeply into these false teachings.
