Of course I've read the thread.. never assume...
For example, why assume I was singling you out specifically? I was making a statement. This thread is in the GREY AREA for a reason, no?

Couldn't disagree more, the time of wisdom in books will never be over. Abandon the word of God & you will not know the true way to God, let the word of God rest and collect dust and you will follow the trends and ways of the world which are not the ways of God. Only with the books of the past can we know the wisdom of both mankind and God.
Wanting to connect with God and occupy your time with nothing else is a noble concept, but you cannot connect with God like you can while you read & pray, not fanatically read and pray, not obsessively read & pray, but honestly genuinely with a heart of purpose read & pray as someone who is seeking to know the true Creator of the Universe.

and you still think my first post was directed at you? I have seen a lot of petty, cemented philosiphies presented here, along with downright nasty jeers.
Difference in opinion stimulates intellectual conversation...
But tell me again why you think I was typing to YOU in particular?

Contact with spirits usually accompanies these experiences.
"There is no such thing as enlightenment at all." - U. G. Krishnamurti
Rajneesh admitted, while under the influence of nitrous oxide, that there is no such thing as enlightenment. I cannot confirm this event through other contacts, but I assume Rajneesh was simply stating what U.G. Krishnamurti has said all along; that the storybook fiction we accept of a perfect enlightenment, full of infallible wisdom, is a big lie. A powerful and expansive state of cosmic consciousness does exist in humans who achieve it, but the way this condition is described by the religious establishment is an egocentric fiction, contrived by spiritual leaders to control the masses for their own personal gain.
Osho, Bhagwan Rajneesh, and the Lost Truth
Yoga and meditation are nothing short of pure witchcraft. It is "Witchcraft" because you are summoning pagan gods is witchcraft. Therefore, Kundalini yoga is pure witchcraft because you are using meditation to invoke the powers of cosmic gods. These gods in reality do not exist, except as demons—who are not gods at all! Any powers which result from the use of any type of yoga is from Satan. Yoga is just another front for Satan worship. If you want power from the Devil, he will give it to you—but you will pay with your soul. This is strictly forbidden in the Bible. We are to trust in God, none other.
