Moreover, today’s Contemplative Movement is simply a redressing of the Quaker Quietism.
ellauri111.html on line 699: "Contemplative" prayer is essentially an old occult technique adjusted to the ignorant church people. It can bring up that yoga kundalini serpent power. With open eyes, one can see this type of technique being magnified in society--I saw a book for magic in a place for shipping goods and for photocopies, office supplies, etc. I looked on the back of the book, it was the same technique as the church people are using. This is spreading like wildfire and not just amongst false (or extremely ignorant) brethren, it is throughout society. Revelation 13:8 teaches us that all people who are not in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world will worship the beast. Revelation 13:4 says that all the world will worship the dragon which gave power unto the beast--we learn from Revelation 12 that THE DRAGON IS SATAN. In the ecumenical movement (all the religions getting together in "peace") and under a "meditative" spirituality, Hindus, Buddhists, Roman Catholics, church people, atheists, Muslims, cabalists, new agers, etc. can get together and have a "meditation" session with no problems. This is not for the future, it is already happening, I picked up a brochure about some sessions while at a library. In Contemplative prayer, church people are calling the devil by the Lord's name. I read that many of them will not listen to the scriptures when confronted with the truth--they do not know the Lord's voice, they are not his sheep. Worldly people are under the devil and they despise holiness and speak against it as "legalism" or even as heresy or false doctrine. I have seen extreme antinomianism in Baptist churches. They derisively call work-out-your-own-salvation-with-fear-and-trembling discipleship "Lordship salvation". If a person does not obey the Lord, they are not saved. The reader may wish to see our article, Lordship Salvation.
ellauri111.html on line 743: I learned more about the Kundalini after researching the contemplative prayer movement that is entering the emerging church of the devil and the fallen, disobedient-to-the-scriptures churches that would not necessarily describe themselves as "emerging church", "ancient future church", etc. Kundalini awakening can be triggered unintentionally. Satan just waits for the conditions to be right. Some people go insane, check into mental hospitals over and over again, experience personality changes, cannot function as before, commit suicide, etc. Kundalini awakening (a counsel for leaving it behind) is discussed further in our series, "Contemplative Prayer: A Quick Road to Hell for A Disobedient Church."
ellauri282.html on line 438: Vuoteen 1947 mennessä Merton oli mukavampi roolissaan kirjailijana. Maaliskuun 19. päivänä hän antoi juhlallisen lupauksensa ja sitoutui elämään elämänsä luostarissa. Hän aloitti myös kirjeenvaihdon erään karthusialaisen kanssa St. Hugh's Charterhousessa Englannissa. Merton oli arvostanut kivempää karthusialaista ritarikuntaa Getsemaniin saapumisestaan ​​vuonna 1941, ja hän harkitsi myöhemmin kystersiläisistä luopumista tuon ritarikunnan vuoksi. Siitä huolimatta Katolinen Commonweal- lehti julkaisi 4. heinäkuuta Mertonin esseen nimeltä Poetry and the Contemplative Life.
ellauri282.html on line 440: Vuonna 1948 The Seven Storey Mountain julkaistiin kriitikoiden suosiossa, ja Mertonille lähetetty faniposti saavutti uusia korkeuksia. Merton julkaisi myös useita teoksia luostarille sinä vuonna, jotka olivat: Guide to Cistercian Life, Cistercian Contemplatives, Figures for an Apocalypse ja The Spirit of Simplicity. Tuona vuonna Saint Mary's College (Indiana) julkaisi myös Mertonin kirjasen What Is Contemplation? Merton julkaisi myös sinä vuonna elämäkerran, Exile Ends in Glory: The Life of a Trappistine, Mother M. Berchmans, OCSO.
ellauri282.html on line 509: Vuonna 1984 Keating perusti yhdessä Gustave Reiningerin ja Edward Bednarin kanssa Contemplative Outreach, Ltd:n, kansainvälisen ja ekumeenisen hengellisen verkoston, joka opettaa Centering Prayer -rukouksen ja Lectio Divina -rukousmenetelmän, joka on peräisin kristillisestä kontemplatiivisesta perinteestä. Contemplative Outreach tarjoaa tukijärjestelmän mietiskelypolulla oleville monenlaisten resurssien, työpajojen ja retriittien kautta.
