A voice intones: “Close your eyes…relax…let each muscle relax…let your mind go blank…see yourself as a cloud…floating…getting lighter and lighter…”Words like these, a form of guided meditation, are heard today in stress reduction workshops, human potential classes and on relaxation tapes. Is this what David means in Ps. 19:14 when he says, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord…?” Is meditation just another form of prayer?

But attaining unto this altered state of consciousness portends spiritual danger—that in such a state of mind, spiritual entities or demons can suggest to or possess the mind. A passive or empty mind will not remain an empty slate. Something, or someone, will fill it. Voided minds are permeable, suggestible, impressionable and malleable. Insatiably, they desire filling by something . . . anything. Hence, meditation serves as an open doorway into the world of the occult, a world of supernatural phenomena and forces.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was the first of the German theologians to speak out clearly against the persecution of the Jews. He was 39 years old when he was taken out of his prison and hanged as a Nazi traitor in 1945. As he left his cell he said to his companion, “This is the end — but for me, the beginning of life.”
As German troops invaded and conquered Belgium, Holland and then France, thousands of refugees fled ahead of the advancing army. Sousa Mendes began granting visas to all who asked. Passports were stamped, reasons given for the visas, and he signed them. The consul was disobeying specific orders and in the end it would cost him his career. It is believed that at least 30,000 people received visas, including 10,000 Jews.

The Holocaust – the systematic annihilation of six million Jews – is a history of enduring horror and sorrow. Yet there were acts of courage and human decency during the Holocaust – stories to bear witness to goodness, love and compassion. This is the story of an incredible woman and her amazing gift to mankind.

Oskar Schindler, a Nazi party member, hedonist and gambler, developed an all-consuming desire of rescuing as many of his Jews as he could from the clutches of the Nazi executioners. in his efforts to bring his Jewish workers safely through the war, he was not only prepared to squander all his money but also to put his own life on line.

Traditional Christian believers frequently mention the analogy of the frog that is so slowly and gradually boiled in a kettle of water that it dies before ever realizing what is going on. Yet many believers fail to realize that the very same thing is happening to them as they tell that story. How else do you explain the rapid rise of the “new gospel” movement with hardly a word of concern within the Church about what’s been happening? As “new gospel” advocates continue to publish bestselling books and flock to the airwaves in ever-increasing numbers to advance their cause, there is a strange silence in Christendom. Does the Church have any idea what is going on?

The Holocaust is a history of enduring horror and sorrow. It seems as though there is no spark of human concern, no act of humanity, to lighten that dark history. Yet there were acts of courage and kindness during the Holocaust – this is the story of Wilm Hosenfeld, a German Wehrmacht officer who believed in helping others, even at the risk of getting himself killed – a man who had the courage to stand against evil.

As New Age believers years ago, my wife and I had no reason to doubt any of the “new revelation” that was coming our way. When we were students of A Course in Miracles in the early 1980s, it never occurred to us that Helen Schucman had received her spiritual dictation from anyone other than the real Jesus Christ. As members of A Course in Miracles study group, we studied what the “Jesus” of the Course said and applied his teachings to our lives.
