WARNING: Many inspirational teachings are inspired by SATAN

Along my life journey I came across information that shattered my world once again, and, hopefully for the last time. Just like many people here, I felt like a victim of circumstances and craved for a change, for a better life, for more adventure... I started reading books on how to get rich, couple of years before "The Secret" and the "law of attraction" became popular. Then, I was shocked by the film "Zeitgeist" in 2007 which felt like a revelation to me concerning the 9/11 attacks and the powers of this world. This film quickly became popular: because of the number of views it was many weeks on the front page of Google Video and was virally spread over the web. Just like me, many people started to ask themselves what is going on in the world and how the righteous God, if there is any, allow this to happen. And there were many conclusive answers which appeared in many shapes but had always the same underlying message:

There is no God who has the power, the devil is a Christian lie, and, on top of that, there is also a secret kept from you: this secret is that YOU have the power to get whatever you want from life.

Many teachings teach methods to acquire, learn or remember your power. Esoteric teachings like the law of attraction tell you that you are infinite or are having infinite subconscious mind and you can be and have whatever you want. We are literally bombarded from all sides with this apparently new ideology. And like a stupid naive being, I, possibly you and many others have consumed and applied these teachings, often with success. Because with no success there will be no acceptance and no self-promotion. The only thing that matters is WHAT or WHO is guiding you when applying esoteric knowledge.

I am too guilty of reading, learning and applying esoteric knowledge. I am too guilty of spreading this knowledge and getting more people into believing in the law of attraction and other teachings. But, with some help from above, I have gotten a deep insight into where it all goes that shattered my world once again.

Esoteric teachings are like poisoned meals for our minds and our souls. The meal still looks good and still tastes well but, in the end, the few grams of poison bring death. In case of esoteric teachings the poison causes an individual to commit a suicide or, at some point, to disintegrate his view of reality which externalizes itself in psychosis. There are a lot of patients in mental hospitals who have hallucinations and deeply convinced that they are God causing (or in law of attraction terminology: attracting) all events in the world. And this is absolutely not funny. Actually, this is an experience many people strive for without even knowing it.

Just to give you a foretaste for how the poison is disguised in the meal, read this brief post of mine:

Pull the emergency breaks and start reading the bible, at least just for your education, because many names you have heard are taken from the bible.

There are many occult esoteric teachings out there that teach that we are unlimited and infinite. This is a brash lie, because obviously we are limited. Limitation is omnipresent in our lives: you have limited time in a day, you have limited physical power, you have limited concentration ability, and life itself is limited.

Limitation is good; it is a blessing from true God. Without limitation our world would not exist the way it does. All things we are experiencing will lose their meaning, because with no limitation there is no need to eat, to sleep and to go to work. With no limitation life is worthless.

Satan seems planning to destroy the creation and he attacks both sides: he tries to misuse limitation to create apparent scarcity and to make people chasing illusions compensating these scarcities or fighting for the scarce resources.

But now people believe they are awakening to their inner power and start to dare more. Divide and conquer breaks down and Satan seems to lose his power. But this is simply part of the plan! Now he is attacking the very limitation he has misused previously and injecting in our minds the idea that we are limitless in every sense of this concept. People do not really bite on this idea and try to integrate it as a nice wording for encouragement. But the idea still resides in their heads waiting for the activation.

As soon as you realize that you are unlimited, the "you" cease to exist and you will literally die. You can identify yourself as part of the whole only within limitation. Your ego helps you to do this. The limitation is inherent to your ego. Do not strive for the ego death as many teachers and false prophets (aliens and other entities) preach. Realize that you have or you are the ego, live with it, support other people, help others where you can and live a happy life. Do not destroy your ego, just recognize it and stop acting for the sole benefit of yours.

God, the true Creator wants you to live. Life itself is a gift. Do not destroy it, just accept it in love to God.

I find it hard, even embarrassing to admit that you might be going in the right direction, whoever you are. I found this post on Google because I started to surmise that the whole law of attraction ideology has evil origins or purposes.

And this is not because we are stupid or something but on purpose. We should not know everything about us or about the reality we live in, because otherwise we would not be able to enjoy life. I have a friend who is a computer graphic artist. He creates motion capture and animation for the film industry. He says that because of his knowledge about how the effects in films are done he has trouble to emerge into the story when watching a movie because he rather perceives the effects and not the reality of the film. But you can still live without getting pleasure from watching movies. Now imagine a person who knows how the reality works: in any moment he is conscious of what is going on and knows what to do to attract the experience of his desire. I do not think the life would be livable!

It is nice to get inspired by the ideology do the things you like and stay positive and thankful. But do not get too deep into esoteric knowledge. Many teachings seem to seduce people with inspirational messages but then teach them how to rape reality, because they lack moral values or rules from the Maker of this universe.

It is okay to be unpopular, and not rich, and not be together with the most beautiful/sexiest woman/man you can ever imagine. This is the beauty of life!

One should always use critical thinking when applying any knowledge in his life. I agree with your observation regarding for example the love of money witch is sweetened poison. However keeping an open and honest mind, exercising prudence and praying for wisdom will uncover the mistakes very often. After all not every mistake or wrong teaching is written with evil intentions. Sometimes people are inexperienced, immature or just stupid. Regardless of the intentions wrong info may be harmful. You have to think, learn to analyze and never take the easy way. Look for the truth, the reality, know thyself and the others, love God, love other people and don't forget to take care of one of God's dearest creation witch is you!
