forming a false ecumenism and enculturation as
we see in the recently published New Community

and much more wherein many of Jesus’ quotes are
replaced with those from the Gita.
Bit by bit, slowly, but surely the doors of
the church were opened ever wider to let in these
false spiritualities. Hence, then, dabbling and
interest in the occult have grown within the
Church often disguised as Catholic mystical

There is much that I could say about the
syncretism with Christianity and Eastern
mysticism but that would take another book.
However, I will take time out here to mention a
very popular spiritual exercise in the Church that
involves guided meditation and if you have been
duped into it, you will recognise it.
The common method used is to get
participants to sit comfortably with a straight
back, turn the palms of the hands upwards, take
deep breaths, and let the head relax and the eyes
relax until they are focussed on the end of the
nose. In the meanwhile, there is gentle (hypnotic)
music as the leader talks the mediators through
the exercises using a mantra or so-called ‘prayer
word.’
