This looks super interesting...we need a new thread to discuss, Bella?


Yeah we can create another thread for this one. It looks like what is typical right now in the promotion of the new age. Catchy title thought makes you think...why kicking and screaming if it is so great LOL


LOL....had that same thought!

We are living in extraordinary times in which we are experiencing a global shift in consciousness that is affecting how we feel, how we think, and how we are experiencing time. This Shift results in viewing reality from another perspective, a perspective that sees the bigger picture, the Unity in all things, and recognizes the God Self within. We are integrating that change now personally and collectively.


As the old form of consciousness within you and in the outer world is dissolving, so that a new form of consciousness can take its place, you may experience changes that can be frightening if you don’t understand them. These changes may result as symptoms, which at first may seem like physical or even mental illness, but are really signs that you are going through a metamorphosis, a change from one form to another.


In this book, Mary Bell, spiritual healer, teacher, author, and channel, bridges new age and traditional spiritual philosophy as she gives you a map and a conceptual explanation of what you may be experiencing and new tools to integrate the changes that are occurring.


As a true pioneer, she shares her own personal journey as she went through the process of integrating this shift, in hopes of making your journey an easier one. Contained within the writing is a transmission of healing energy which you will receive by reading the book and a textbook for healers with an introduction to working from Unity Consciousness.

This particular quote really gets me.

I've long heard of books that contain spells and curses (as well as movies) that if read or even seen can cause the person seeing or reading great harm. Anyone else hear of this?

I haven't heard of the books & movies carrying these spells, etc.
Can you elaborate? Maybe a short list of those that you can think
of, for us to be aware of and stay away from?

Oops!
That was a dumb question on my part!
Sorry 'bout that! I do remember hearing
a "very popular" kids movie series had
"real spells" in them. That is sooo sad.

And devious. So, on second thought,
forget the list ~ we definitely don't want to
give them any free advertising! And, they
will most likely be books & movies I don't
read or watch anyway, thank goodness!

It's jsut Satan's version of what I believe happens when we read the scriptures. Of course we read them to learn intellectually, but I also believe that we receive spiritual protection, as well as other blessings thru reading the scriptures. Absolutley I believe that by reading many books, including New Age, that spells can be cast on us. In fact, probably a large part of the reason for people getting sucked into New Age Occultism is due to being "charmed" by it.

[ndjilicaptain of 100]

I've been long told this...and was warned about a certain movie carrying a curse..that I saw and for what has happened after, believe it but I think it's interesting this book is admitting it.

[Rosabellacaptain of 1,000]

It is a logical step that they would put "charms" on their books or movies etc. They believe in evoking powers so it is not a huge step for them to put powers into a book. They have the ability and knowledge why not use it.

This just proves all the more why we need to avoid even the appearance of evil. Just as we are counselled not to take that first sip of wine or smoke that first cigarette, we also should stop ourselves from checking out a book or movie or anything else that the Spirit tells us is bad for our souls.

This idea of getting healing energy from reading a book sounds like a complete perversion of the scriptures, which also contain a power within them that we do not fully comprehend. The difference is that the scriptures help us turn to the Saviour and to experience His love and Heavenly Father's love, whereas new age and occult books turn one in the exact opposite direction, ultimately leading to misery. The idea of a "curse" or "charm" in a book involves taking someone's free will away, while the power of the Holy Spirit manifested in the scriptures always allows someone to choose whether or not to accept that power. I also noticed that in the quote above, it says that "YOU WILL" receive that "healing energy." It doesn't say "YOU CAN." It's not really that significant, but I just find it an interesting choice of words.

Good points

Well sad thing is people used their free will to read these books and watch these movies...but really so many arent realizing what they're doing. I just found out that there is a new zombie TV series..on cable..not as much gore (yeah it's a zombie show so there is gore) or swearning and no se and nudity. It's not rated R but the equivalent of PG 13..I LOVE zombie shows and had to give them up when I got converted. Well I thought it was awesome that I could now watch a zombie show. I did. It felt so wrong the whole time. I shopuld know better but told myself that I wasnt breaking the rules....I knew better. The house felt bad afterwards and I knew I had made a huge mistake. I believe things are containing bad things in even G rated movies now..(um hello shadow people in the Princess and the Frog). Everything in this world seems to be doing all it can to drive the Spirit from our lives and letting in spirits we dont want.

What is wrong with zombies? Or is it the gore in these movies?

I don't watch the show, or even care for zombie movies as I am more of a werewolf guy myself.

I had an interesting experience a few years ago. As I've gotten closer to the Spirit, I've found it harder to pick out a movie to watch. One evening, I was spending way too long in Blockbuster, so I prayed for help in picking out a movie. I found one and for some reason didn't even think to check the rating. It was a very interesting movie, but some of the stuff in it made me go look for the rating after it was over--R! I usually don't remember movies unless they are very impressive, but this one I can remember well--except the title! Great movie, but I still wonder just how come I rented it. I'm pretty sure the Spirit wouldn't direct me to it since it was pretty rough in parts and against what the church leaders have said about movie selections since it was rated R.

Same here! It seems to me that almost nothing is appropriate anymore. Even many of the kids' movies are questionable. It's really sad.
