Will the Real Mystics Please Stand Up
Theocentric posed a review of a new book called “Top Secret: The Truth behind Today’s Pop Mysticisms” by Robert M. Price. It is a critical look at fad or “pop mystics”. I am glad someone finally put a good book together for this since these con-artists give mysticism a bad name.
The book “The Secret” which, unless you live under a rock, is one the most popular of the pop-mysticism books out there. It is part of a movement called “New Thought”, which basically is “The Matrix” combined with old-school health and wealth cultism.
I found a book that explains the science of Christian mysticism is “Evolution of Consciousness” by John Kuykendall. It is a journey to a personal experience with Christ that goes through the layers of the mind and the parts of the mind. It transforms God from being an object to an actual spiritual experience.
