THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT
LESSON 1
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Much of the following material is taken from the book entitled "Unmasking The New Age" by Douglas Groothuis
INTRODUCTION:
Eastern religions are moving West and forming a kind of ecumenical movement of Easter, occult and New Conciousness groups that are networking together in the New Age Movement. But, the basic New Age assumption is older than history, i.e., its belief that "all is one". To experience "oneness" we must do away not only with our uniqueness as perosns but also with our capcity for conceptual and critical thinking. It challenges not only our distinct personhood, but the reality of the world we observe and the distinction beteen good and evil. It is pantheistic in its world view believing that God is the universe and everything in it, not a personal Creator who is above it and distinct from His creation. It is therefore very difficult to evangelize a New Ager who sees himself already divine, having endless potential for self-improvement, not inherently sinful, and in need of the gracious, once-for-all provision of Jesus Christ's atonement.
New Age advocates argue that the West has been locked in a prision of the ordianry and one-dimensional, seperated from the mystical vitality of a universe of harmonious dancing and energy. The problems besetting the modern world are blamed on a false and rapidly decaying world view, an an outmoded perspective on life. The old ways and views are impotent and cannot rescue modern humanity. Therefore a "New Conciousness" is needed to bring about a New Age. This "New Consciousness" (religion) will provide a new world view necessary to bring in the New Age. We must therefore diligently see what if affirms and why, lest we credulously follow its dictates without giving it a thought.
This study will hopefull challenge us to:
Picture twenty-five firat-graders laying on the floor of
their classroom floor. It's not a fire drill or an air raid, but
part of the new curriculum. The children are being guided through a
meditation in which they are instructed to imagine the sun radiantly
shining toward them. They are then told to gaze into its brightness
without being hurt by the light. Next the children are asked to try
to bring the sun down into their bodies and feel its warmth, power,
illumination.
"Imagine that you are doing something perfect," the
teacher commands, "and that you are perfect."
The children are told to see themselves as resplendent
with light, they should feel at peace, for they are perfect. They
"are reminded that they are intelligent, magnificent, and that they
contain all of the wisdom of the universe within themselves."
This exercise acutally took place in a Los Angeles public
schools.
5. What does the Bible affirm? Romans 1:25; Eccles. 5:2
What is idolatry? Is God an impersonal force?
"thou shalt not" (amoral)?
C. Humanity is God
"It has long been held that whoever denies [the
transcendent]God asserts his own divinity. in dropping
God, man recovers himself. It is time that God be put in
his place, that is, in man, and no nonsense about it."
Philosopher and New Age precursor L.L. White
Discussion: Is there anything new about this attitude?
According to Roamsn 1:18-32, what really happends
when man "drops God?"
2. We are god in disguise. Only ignorancwe keeps us from
realizing our divine reality. New Age gosl, according to
New Age analyst Theodore Roszak, is "to awaken the god
who sleeps at the root of the human being."
"Kneel to your own self. Honor and worship your own
being. God dwells within you as You!" (Suami
Muktananada)
Discussion: According to Romans 18:18, 19, what part does
truth and ignorance play in knowing the true God?
What attitude does the Bible take towards human
pretenders to the divine throne? Isa. 14:13-15;
Ezek. 28:1-2; Acts 12:21-23.
D. A Change in Consciousness
1. If all is one; all is god; and we are god, then why
don't we know ourselves as gos? Answer, IGNORANCE.
2. Our Western culture has stiffled our metaphysical powers
(i.e., mind over matter). This problem can be reversed
by techniques designed to alter ordinary consciousness,
enabling us to see true reality, leading to an awareness
of oneness and spiritual power. For example: *
Sports - according to Murphy, founder of Esalen
Institute, extreme physical achievement can induce a
mystical state of consciousness much like that spoken of
in Eastern religions.
* contact with extraterestrial beings (UFO's) *
EST (Erhard Seminars Training) - mass training session
for the purpose of triggering a revoloution in
consciousness (now called Forum). Participants have
included Yoko Ono, Diana Ross and John Denver, a
self-appointed evangelist for the cause. *
Self-hypnosis * Internal Visulization (like the
school children) * Biofeedback - controlling the
brain wacves my mechanical means. * Sex act *
Parapsychology - e.g., telepathy, ESP, precognition,
(predicting the future), telekinesis, etc.
3. There are many names for this transforming experience:
cosmic consciousness, God-realization, self-realization,
enlightenment, illumination, Nirvana (Buddhist), Satori
(Zen), at- one-ment, or satchitananada (Hindu).
"Free will is simply the enactment of the realization
you are God, a realization that you are divine: free
will is making everything accessible to you." (Shirely
McLaine)
Discussion: In what basic ways does this philosophy go against the
Bible teaches free will?
4. The One cannot be grasped intellectually. It must be
experienced not discussed.
Discussion: How does Christianity address the need for a chanbe on
consciousness? Genesis 3
THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT
LESSON 2
INTRODUCTION
This lesson will scrutinize the historical roots of the New Age Movement to help us understand the forces that propelled it into out lives.
I. The Counterculture of the Sixties - A key factor
"The Sixties' counterculture offered people a doorway into the
new and the untried. The "business as usual" of American life had
lost its life, they claimed. The "square" mind was enslaved by the
demands of a dispirited world of technology and materialism.
Secularism had paralyzed the spiritual imagination and nailed shut
the doors of the soul. The appollonian attitude of hard work,
restraint and disciplined achievement (or the work ethic) left the
counterculture cold. Instead they celebrated they dionysian ideal:
the exuberant experiences beyond the mundane and predictable."
A. Essential elements of the counterculture: 1. Imported
Eastern religions 2. Sects and cults The above resulted in
a generation accustomed to non- Christian spiritual beliefs
and practices. 3. Hallucinogenic drugs to raise the level
of consciousness 4. Psychedelic drugs, a forerunner of
other transformational technologies 5. Occult - The Beatles
fused hallucinogenic experience, Eastern philosophy and
political dissent into songs. Counterculture announced itself
as the "Age of Aquarius". Astrology is based on a monistic
philosophy and is one of the most ancient occult arts (Daniel
2:27,28).
B. The "love-ins", "happenings", Easter religions, and occultism
of the sixties became less ostentatious and quite well integrated
into the general culture by the mid 1970's and continue on in the
present.
II. The Demise of Secular Humanism
III. Counterculture's Complaint
Christianity divested the world of spiritual significance by transforming it into a cold machine of natural laws and regularities (brought on by the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions). God became distant and even forgotten; nature became a testing ground for man's technological devices. Result - the dehumanization of man and pollution of the environment.
IV. The Rise of the One
...the dualism of Christianity and secular humanism must be
eradicated so that all reality may be seen and experienced as
it truly is, as one. An overly mental faith in history and
doctrine must be replaced by an inner experience of truth
through the raising of consciousness. - Roszak, New Age
analyst and advocate
Better the enchanted world of spirits than the lifeless bulk
of a meaningless universe (Thompson). So we see that just when
the spiritual was thought to be banished, it came back with
pantheistic. insistence.
B. Although no clear line of transition can be drawn from the
sixties counterculture into the present New Age movement,
differences can be see:
Counterculture New Age Movement
and the rejection of Christian theism has left us with a crisis in every area of our culture and society: militarily (threat of nuclear annihilation), spiritually, politically, economically. The only solution is radical transformation and there is no turning back.
do you see in the New Age movement? How does the Bible address these matters?
C.S. Lewis wrote: Pantheism is in fact the permanent natural bend of the human mind....It is the attitude into which the human mind automatically falls when left to itself.
B. What hope does the Bible offer relative to transformation in
the above areas?
1. Spirituality: Gal. 2:20 "loved me" II Cor. 5:17 2.
Ecology: Gen. 1:26; 9:1-3; Ps. 8:6-8 3.
Feminism: I Cor. 11:3-12 4. Authority:
Exod. 20:1-6
VI. Cosmic Humanism vs. Secular Humanism
...by the cosmic humanist?
By becoming one with the One and thus gaining access to
unlimited potential. Man becomes the metaphysical master.
C. "Secular man 'killed a God in whom he could not believe but
whose absence he could not bear.'" - Mircea Eliade
How does the Bible explain this dilemma?
D. Because our society cannot bear God's absence, it is creating
a variety of religious beliefs (pluralism). However, this
creates another problem because gods have no equals. Result:
Fragmentation and confusion. The Church must allow the true
God to take advantage of this climate of instability.THE NEW

LESSON 3
INTRODUCTION
In this and the following lessons, the infiltration of New Age philosophy into the areas of health, psychology, science, politics and spirituality will be charted and analyzed to see if the One is truly "for all." Lesson 3 will deal with holistic health. The goal of holistic health (from the Greek word "holos" meaning 'whole') is to treat not only the sickness but the whole person - body, mind and spirit. Holistic health practitioners see modern Western medicine as having reduced persons to mere bodies - machinelike assemblages of separable parts. Disease is viewed as a mechanistic malfunction remedied by chemical or surgical intervention. Spiritual concerns are banished from health considerations altogether.
"Physicians pour drugs of which they know little, to cure
diseases of which they know even less, into humans of which
they know nothing." -Voltaire
Thus, disenchantment with modern medicine along with a gnawing sense
of helplessness in the face of death and disease has brought many to seek help from holistic health practice. While certain aspects of the movement can be helpful and corrective, most practices are based on pantheistic and/or New Age philosophy. Its goal is often said to be to attune one with the One. It uses such practices as Chinese medicine, self-hypnosis, macrobiotics, biofeedback, meditation and other means.
Question: Can Christians learn from it or must it be rejected?
many as one manifestation of the advance into the New Consciousness and New Age.
health. "We are clumps of dead matter but configurations of active energy. To increase the flow of healing energy we must attune ourselves to it and realize our unity with all things."
transition to another state of consciousness or as an illusion. Because all is one, individuals cannot die.
Holy or Holistic?
NOTE: Acupuncture and acupressure is intimately connected with
Taoism, and an essentially monistic world view. Shamanistic
and traditional folk healing are premised on an animistic or
pantheistic view. Psychic and mediumistic healing is just an
old fashioned occultism.
5. Should Christians shun holistic health since some of its
practices are based on a non-biblical world view?
6. Since in certain ways, "the medical establishment has
become a major threat to health" should we therefore
make a wholesale escape from modern medicine?
7. What guidelines for health do the following Bible
concepts and passages give?
The Sabbath Exod. 15:26 II Chronicles 7:14 II
Chronicles 16:12 Proverbs 3:7,8 John 10:10 John
15:7 I Corinthians 6:19 Philippians 4:5 James
5:13-16
THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT
LESSON 4
INTRODUCTION: What has replaced theology in the secularized West as the center of human concern? Psychology. Result? People are looking within to find answers to our modern anxieties. According to Martin Gross, we live in "the most anxious, emotionally insecure and analyzed population in the history of man...in which, as never before, man is preoccupied with SELF." Everything in our modern society seems up for grabs these days. Consequently, people turn inward for direction and guidance, having abandoned the social structure as incapable of providing meaning. When the social structures of society that give meaning and value collapse, we turn within. This in turn leads to anxiety and stress because the search within frequently falls short of the authenticity and assurance that is craved. Stress contributes to a host of illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidental injuries, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide - six of the leading causes of death in the U.S.
Along comes the New Consciousness offering itself as a new mind, a new way of thinking and being. The help if offers is the answer within, a revitalized self seen for what it truly is: an unlimited source for growth and potential. In promising this personal transformation the New Age seeks to provide a new psychology, a psychology that becomes a main tributary for the One for all. This lesson will chart the leaning of modern psychology toward the New Consciousness.
I. The Humanistic Psychology of Abraham Maslow (1908 - 1970)
*FREUD: concluded that we are governed by the unconscious
and not by reason; that we are essentially animals driven by
instincts constant in collision with societal standards; that
all human behavior can be reduced to sexual impulse.
*SKINNER: concluded that we are programmed not by our
unconscious but by our environment; behavior consists of
responses to stimuli; peace and harmony for humanity attained
not via the mind, but through a completely controlled
environment; ordinary ideas of freedom and dignity are
unscientific.
B. Maslow says far more important than simply satisfying our
sexual needs (Freud) or being socially conditioned (Skinner)
is to experience self-actualization. Through
self-actualization we can experience perfection, justice,
richness, beauty, truth and self- sufficiency, etc. We become
divine or godlike, going beyond the merely human.
C. Maslow's psychology contains the message at the core of New
Age teaching: Human experience is the center and source of
meaning and is valuable apart from any dependence on or
subservience to a higher power.
Question: How could the fall of man then be portrayed by Maslow's
followers as "the first act of freedom" for man?
Question: How could the act of disobeying God's commandment not to eat
of the forbidden fruit be portrayed as "the beginning of
reason"?
Fromm, another humanistic psychologist, says, "virtue is self-
realization, not obedience." Explain.
II. Other Trends
III. Self-Actualization And Morality
Question: How would such a philosophy influence one's morality and what
would be some of the consequences? (see I John 2:15-17;
Galatians 5:13-15; Romans 1:24-32)
B. Ironically, the New Age which proclaims pantheism (all is god,
all is one) produces polytheism (many self-actualizing gods.)
IV. Divine or Inflated?
Who can actually and honestly claim Proverbs 20:9?
B. QUESTION: Can the mere lack of understanding of the self's
supposed potential really account for humanity's long history
of savagery and slaughter? What hint of hope does Psalm 8:4
give to man in spite of his self-deception?
V. A Christian View of Human Nature
THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT
LESSON 5
INTRODUCTION: After centuries of warfare between science and religion, today we see these two disciplines coming together in peace. Science is grasping hands with the spiritual and together they are following the same path. Science and technology, once they looked upon producing a spiritually cold world of barren materialism, has gained new social credibility and is being employed by the New Age to empower the One for all. New theories in the field of physics about the nature of the cosmos have opened the scientific community to some new ideas: the unity of all things, the nonexistence of an independent external world and the unity of opposites. In other words, science has been brought fact to face with ancient mysticism.
This lesson will explore those forces that have transformed a rationalistic scientism in to mysticism, the mysticism of the New Age.
I. The Fall of Newton
METAPHYSICS: The science of the principles and causes of all
things existing: the philosophy of mind as distinguished from that
of matter (Webster). It is the nature of all reality.
B. Until the turn of the century, physics stood on the unshakable
foundation of Newtonian mechanics: the world is made up of
predictable mechanical laws set in the context of absolute
space and time. The atoms of matter dutifully obeyed the
unbending laws of nature.
C. Albert Einstein and theory of relativity, How did this
revolutionary theory impact the Newtonian world view?
1. Space and time no longer viewed as absolute, but
relative to each other and in relation to the fixed speed of
light.
2. Einstein's equation, E-mc2, stated that matter and
energy were not strictly separable; rather, all mass has
energy and may be translated into energy - atomic energy.
3. Result: science looked for new models of the universe.
QUESTION: How at this point, do you see the new world view that is
developing (under Einstein) laying some foundation stones for
present New Age teachings?
D. Birth of the "quantum theory" (1900): Idea that "matter
absorbed heat energy and emitted light energy discontinuously"
in unexpected limps or spurts called (by Einstein) "quata"
(photons) . They acted unpredictably, not mechanically.
Conclusion: the sub-atomic world is not a mosaic of hard bit
of matter.
E. Bases on the quantum theory which has established itself as
the best explanation of natural phenomena, many scientists
have said that reality is at best run by chance. This
"achievement" has led to the marriage of science and religion.
II. The Quanta and the Buddha
Therefore, we must see the "basic oneness" of the
universe.
B. In his very popular book, The Tao of Physics, Capra finds
parallels between the new physics and that which the Eastern
mystics have been saying for thousands of years (Buddhist,
Taoist, Hindu):
oneness of all things the unity of opposites
(complementarily) the relativity of space and time the
ever-changing nature of reality
III. A World Of Your Own
QUESTION: Even if quantum theory or other theories could demonstrate the
substantial interconnection of all things, would this change
God's position in the order of creation?
IV. A Christian View Of Creation and Science
THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT
LESSON 6
INTRODUCTION: Another area of our society and world which New Age is permeating is politics. Religion can never be severed from politics since political vision stems from our deepest beliefs concerning reality and value. Politics follows faith. The New Age has a political agenda geared toward bringing in the whole society into harmony with the One as the New Consciousness produces the New Age. This philosophy is also true of the last days when the unholy trinity will work in harmony with one another: Satan will energize the false prophet (the world religious ruler), who in turn will perform miracles on behalf of Antichrist's political platform.
This lesson will only touch briefly upon some of the more important aspects of New Age politics.
I. New Age Politics
What bearing would this have on the following political/social
issues?
1. Ecology
2. Feminist movement
3. Abortion
4. Population control
5. Nuclear disarmament
II. A New World
Read Genesis 11:1-9. What happened historically when mankind
insisted on a one world order?
Should we try to do away with all national boundaries and
language barriers?
B. The following political groups are, to one degree or another,
promoting New Age reformation politics:
Planetary Citizens - founded 1972 by Donald Keys, a long-time
consultant to U.N. delegations and committees.
World Goodwill - a political lobby headquartered on U.N. Plaza. It
heralds the U.N. as the agent for world peace and order.
United Nations - call by Keys the "nexus (connection) of emerging
planetary values" and he hopes it will establish a "planetary
management system".
C. it is difficult to gauge the success of New Age politics as
many of those who agree with New Age concerns may not share the
pantheistic world view.
III. Faulty Foundation
What is mankind's basic problem?
Can a mere change of perspective solve that problem? John 3:3
New Age lacks any absolute moral standard. What would be the
outcome of a world led by such people? Romans 7:7-23.
How is the putting of one's hope for peace and prosperity into
a world government equal to idolatry?
How do New Age politics tend to ignore the reality of
collective human evil?
Satan tempted Christ to believe that the kingdoms of this
world could become His on false terms (Matt. 4:8-11). What
false terms is New Age using in our modern world to tempt
people?
What was Satan's promise and strategy when he first tempted
humanity? Genesis 3:5-6.
Despite all rebellion, who remains king of all the earth? Rev.
1:5.
What warning does the Bible contain for all political
impostors? Ps. 2:10-12.
In what ways can this lesson affect our lives practically?
THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT
LESSON 7
INTRODUCTION: This lesson deals with New Age spirituality. It reveals how the West has injected Eastern, neo-pagan and occult ideas into Western religious thought, producing a hybrid spirituality. New Age of the West has taken the essence of Eastern religions while retaining some elements of the Western Judeo- Christian world view. Eastern practices of mysticism have been stream-lined to fit into our modern fast-paced lifestyle. It repudiates the world-denying, ascetic approach in favor of a world-affirming and even hedonistic lifestyle where "enlightenment" is fully compatible with worldly success.
I. Neo-Paganism
Questions:
"For the fatherhood of God to be significant, there must be a
difference between fatherhood and motherhood." Susan Foh
Is the fatherhood of God significant?
II. The Essence of Eastern religion and its appeal
QUESTION: How does this differ substantially from Christianity?
B. Experimental knowledge of the true Self releases us from
illusion and the cycle of reincarnation.
C. The classic Western spirituality of prayer, faith and
obedience to an external God must be replaced by monistic
meditation, personal experience and the God within.
QUESTION: What is the Biblical meaning of meditation? See Matt. 6:7;
Ps. 1:2-3; Gal. 2:20; (who is the "divine within"?)
D. Beyond good and evil lies the One who is both good and evil,
for He is the All.
III. Jesus goes East
QUESTIONS:
IV. Other New Age Doctrines
"While some truth can be found in nearly all religions, the truth of
salvation is found only in Christ." Matt. 24:24; Phil. 2:9-11.
LESSON 8
INTRODUCTION: In this final lesson we will consider the following five
things: (1) How the New Age is being packaged for modern tastes; (2) The inherent flaws of the New World view; (3) The specific points at which Christianity parts ways with the New Age; (4) Compromises that christians must avoid and (5) Witnessing to the New Age.
I. Marketing the New Age
II. Inherent Flaws of the New Age World View
time - Ps. 90:10
space - Luke 16:26
mortality - Heb. 9:27
individuality - Gen. 1:27; I Cor. 12:18-20
B. The oneness of all things demands the erasing of all
distinctions and dualities including the division between good and
evil.
QUESTION: What happens when a world view consistently denies
ethical realities? See Isa. 5:20-25.
Irony! By its own logic, the New Age has no basis for saying
that it is good or even true. These categories cannot exist.
C. The New Age appeals to human subjectivity - the divine within
- as its prime source of truth, not to an objective revelation form
a higher authority. All manner of subjective experiences are given
free rein as the distiller of revelation and truth.
QUESTION: What are the results of looking to the "divine within"
as the source of truth?
Does experience per se guarantee to validate the truth
of the experience? see I John 4:1
III. Christian Essentials that Must be Maintained as we Confront the New Age
If souls are separate, love is possible. If souls are united
love (other than self) is obviously impossible.
B. Supernatural: While the spiritual world interpenetrates
the natural world it is not identical with it. God is transcendent -
above His creation; He is super-natural. He is free to miraculously
intervene in the normal workings of his creation (e.g., Christ's
resurrection). The Christian seeks help "from above", the New Ager
seeks help "from within."
C. Ethical: God is holy and morally perfect.
D. Rational: Christians do not denounce reason, but see it as a
God- given capacity and an indication of our being created in the
image of a rational God (Gen. 1;26-28; Jn. 1:1-3. 9).
God's wisdom appears foolish to unredeemed people because the
pride of humanity balks at a gospel that convicts the world of
its utter inability to save itself.
E. Experiential: Christianity touches the heart without
by-passing the mind (Matt. 22:27-29; Gal. 5:22).
F. Holistic: The creation is an interrelated whole orchestrated
by the plan and power of God. Therefore, the breaking of God's
covenant resulted in ecological as well as ethical desolation (Hosea
4:1-2).
G. Objective: Christianity provides a standard beyond and above
the created world and subjective experience by which to evaluate all
of life. That standard is found in the Bible and in Christ (II Tim.
3:16).
H. Historical: Christianity view history as linear, not cyclical
(perpetual repetition).
IV. Compromises that Christians Must Avoid
QUESTION: What must direct our thoughts and life?
B. Mystical "Christian" writings that stress the believer's
"union with Christ" so as to border on pantheism. Salvation is not
deification; redeemed humanity should never be confused with
divinity.
C. An over-emphasis on positive thinking or positive confession -
the idea that whatever we believe or verbally affirm will become a
reality.
D. A pantheistic romanticizing of creation resulting from an
over- concern about ecological problems.
V. Witnessing to the New Age
CONCLUSION: Donning the armor and weapons of the Spirit (Eph. 6:10-18) and equipped with a full-orbed Christian world view (Rom. 12:1-2), we must try to prayerfully and actively stem the tide of the One for all.
THE SECULAR HUMANIST, NEW AGE AND CHRISTIAN WORLD VIEWS
Secular Humainst: Universe is self-existent, no God
New Age: God is the world - pantheism
Christian: Creator/creation distinction
B. Nature of God
Secular Humainst: God is a superstition
New Age: God is impersonal/amoral
Christian: God is personal/moral
C. Nature of world (cosmology)
Secular Humanist: Matter/energy, atomistic
New Age: All is spirit/consciousness, monistic
Christian: Creation of God upheld by God, interconnected byt
not monistic
2. Epistemology - Basis for knowledge
Secualr Humainst: Man is measure of all things
New Age: Man is all things, truth within
Christian: Truth revealed in Bible
3. Ethics -
Secular Humanist: Autononmous and situational (relative)
New Age: Autononmous and situational (relative)
Christian: Based on the revelation of God's will, absolute
4. Nature of Humans
Secular Humanist: Evoleved animal
New Age: Spiritual being, a sleeping God
Christian: Made in the image of God, now fallen
5. Human Problem
Secular Humanist: Superstition, ignorance
New Age: Ignorance of true potential
Christian: Sin-rebellion against God and His law
6. Answer to Human Problem
Secular Humanist: Reason and technology
New Age: Change of consciousness
Christian: Faith and obediance to Christ
7. History
Secular Humainst: Linear but chance
New Age: Cyclical
Christian: Linear and providential
8. Death
Secular Humanist: End of existence
New Age: Illusion, entrance to next life (reincarnation)
Christian: Entrance to either eternal heaven or hell
9. View of Religion
Secular Humanist: Superstition, some good moral teaching
New Age: All point to the One (syncretism)
Christian: Not all from God, teach different things
10. Views of Jesus
Secular Humanist: Moral teacher
New Age: One of many avatars
