Who is Speaking Through Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, and Other Occult Practices? |
When the Holy Spirit comes upon a person, the Holy Spirit speaks through all the spiritual senses. God is never far from any person, and He is merciful, hoping that each person may reach out for Him and that there might be communion between Him and that person. This is why He, Himself, was willing to go to the cross to create that unity. If there had been any other way, He would not have chosen such a way. When the Holy Spirit comes upon a person, that person is likely to have wonderful feelings. The feelings are not the Holy Spirit but rather the reaction of that person's human body to the Holy Spirit. Things other than the Holy Ghost can also cause feelings or result in communication, but from a source other than the Holy Spirit. Even such occult practices as Yoga or Transcendental Meditation can speak through the various spiritual senses but by spirits that are opposed to the Holy Spirit. There is a meditation that is available in Christ, of course, but to call this kind of meditation either Yoga or TM is to misuse the English language and confuse the issue. God communicates to us through spiritual senses of sight, hearing, feeling, taste, and smell. He communicates with every person, because He desires fellowship. "Taste and see that the Lord is good." "Today, when you hear His voice..." "... you do not savor the things that are of God, but those that are of men." If we desire to be obedient to God, then we can always discern His communication from the communication of the evil one. He is very merciful when we do get off course. Once we are born again, our spiritual senses become more alert and attuned to God. We know many things simply because God gives us a feeling, a smell, a taste, a word, or an vision. This is the Rock on which we build. We can use logic from this Rock of revelation from God, of course, just as the ungodly can use logic from their basis. The basis of the ungodly is different, though. Most of the ungodly don't even think about their basis. If the ungodly do think about their basis, their foundational thoughts, they usually think their foundational beliefs are "self-evident reality," but when pushed will fall back to say that their foundation is based on "presuppositions" or "axioms." This means that they just made them up, but they have a defense for building on hot air. All of this is a smoke screen anyway. The truth is that their foundation is actually a precept from the evil one. And this precept from the evil one also comes by feeling, smell, taste, sound, or vision. You can hear it in the way people speak. "That left a bad taste in my mouth." "That really stinks." "I don't feel good about this." "I would say that this is true." "I see what you mean." Every thought, word, or deed originates in the spiritual realm, whether from God or from Satan.
