Somebody that I used to know brought to my attention a random writeup on the internet that I wanted to comment on since it folded so well into recent scripture I've been reading.   The site was an aggregator of people writing short articles, like me, pretending to be telling stories but actually presuming a reticent guru-like authority and wisdom over a subject as if  being a wizened "teacher" whose advice everyone should follow.   Although I realize the irony of similarity to myself here, please note how I advocate differently by humbly relying on the interpretation of Gods knowledge, through Catholic scripture, and taking no claim of it being mine-- its Jesus' and the churches in as best a way I know to communicate.  You can recognize Satan's fingerprint most effectively by noting where humility is lacking, and its all over on the internet.  

Anyway, I think blogging sites like the one sent me eventually congeal to form a hivemind (ala Reddit) and attract more and more supporting content for the sake of amplifying the hivemind church's take on what is wisdom worth knowing.   This particular site, branding its articles with terms like "Medium" and "Mantras" (which are big red flag words to Christian disciples) have boldly encouraged catering to a type of philosophy called "Deconstructionism" where, when applied to spiritual or religious matters has as its primary goal, through the use of word games, to dismantle doctrines of the modern multi-thousand year old religions.  I kid you not!  Look it up.  Absolute evil if you are an adherent to one, but in some circles (liberal progressives) its an esteemed philosopy.  Look to what the Bible says about false teachers though using the silly word games that is the Deconstructionists weapon of choice:

"They are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions" – 1 Timothy 6:4

Obviously deconstructionists probably won't say it out loud, but what they intend to destroy is the cohesion of meaning shared by the bibles of the 3 Abrahamic religions of the world: Jew, Christian, and Islam.   Satan focuses on those 3 most and doesn't even bother undermining the others like Hinduism, Buddhism, or Indian Paganism since he knows the inconsequential fates of adherents to those popcorn religions, which is why terms like "Mantra" or "Meditation" and "Yogas" are trigger free, endearing word choices to use on your articles if you want clicks from shallow truth seekers.  Those 3 religions have as their superpower the recipe to "activation energy" to the spiritual which is dangerous to the liberal's ideal of Utopia where everyone is spirit-dead, brain-dead, trivially entertained and otherwise peacable and agreeable to the elite.  Deconstructionists merge all the religions together in a polytheistic word soup to accelerate its dilution and disarmament– a problem even the first Hebrews after the Exodus were having conquering pagan cities left and right and accidentally getting unintentional bleed-in of local religions into their own that God was not happy about and always eventually had to step in and correct for.  The Hindu/Buddhist/Taoist/Indian components serve as flavorful spices to add as necessary to their word soup as needed to make it smell better to the modern liberal in charge doing the attempted prosylization of the reader.    

I bet you can already predict the kind of people attracted to these bands of roaming deconstructionist "teachers": liberals with a bone to pick with Jesus and Christianity for what they think are past indiscretions.  For these kind of people, they can read some romanticized retelling of Native American history and conclude that it was all the Christian churches fault for the bad that happened to the Indian culture.  The Christian theological ramifications of thinking like that is having an opinion that maybe Jesus could have been a better role model for Good than he was– i.e. rejecting the divinity that Jesus, as God, was perfect and putting Man's ideas of Goodness above God's or having faith that its within the capabilities of the imagination of elite endowed men to conceive for us a higher ideal than Jesus.  All lies, no truth.  The Catholic church is just advocacy club of Jesus, his teachings and his life/death/resurrection story as the perfect role model to emulate for Good and if you think otherwise, you're not actually the kind of Christian the real Jesus would recognize, and maybe have more in common with the Pharisees or polytheistic Romans.  He says:

"And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ – Matthew 7:23

The philosophy espoused in the deconstructionist diaspora of articles on the site are all pretty predictably called out in the thousand year old scripture the modern liberal is ever eager to assist destroying without understanding.   Having read them, and understood, one is inoculated against the blatantly obvious paths to destruction advocated therein: exaltation of the self above the divine, trusting your own will and bodies desires, you deserve much, self as center, self only to care, self preservation as most high, self love,— all religions are good! and generally just vanity driven perverse selfishness to lead the hedonistic life you're entitled.  This is actually indistinguishable from secular Satanism, but people fall for this because it tells them exactly what they want to hear, which definitely wasn't how Jesus was.  If you feel "seen" by individuals espousing these philosophies, definitely don't ever recite the "Our Father" prayer– as you won't be earnest when you ask Him to "lead us not to temptation".  If you still happen to find nobility in endeavoring to be Christian, theres only one role model at the top and that is Jesus, which is not somebody you learn about from someone's hot take on the internet, you read it in scripture or are told about it in the doctrines of His holy Catholic church.  

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables". --2 Timothy 4:3-4

Old testament has a good verse too in the story of King Saul who consults and trusts a medium as the final act of defiance against the one true God before he finally dies:

"So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD.  He failed to obey the LORD's command, and he even consulted a medium (.com)" – 1 Chronicles 10

People's stories in the Old Testament always end badly when they succumb to the temptation to follow their own truth, derived from men outside of God.  I imagine the types of people consumers of that new-age site whom the person I used to know linked me, would likely prefer to be married to a Indian Shaman who's spirituality conveniently validates their Earthly desires than to a same-culture Jesus follower who rebukes them, but lovingly so.  This is why having compatible religions amongst friends and marriages is so important.  Christians help Christians– we have a higher tolerance for admonishment from another follower as we see it as merciful and Good, especially if it turns out to be sound wisdom and brings our ways closer to His, not the way liberals admonish anybody and everything who participates in "denying your truth", a selfish and satanic concept hiding behind tolerance.  

Since the original person who I used to know that linked me to the new age internet gospel piece was a woman highly spiritually energized and tormented by demons of rage, this verse also seems appropriate:

"For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth." – 1 Timothy 6:4

Eventually they do find something that they believe sanctifies their sin and captures "their truth" perfectly so they feel self-righteous in spreading it.  Its then, only after the instructions advocated are followed through, does the demonic spirit controlling the seeker shows its "true colors"

Moral of story: don't believe deconstructionists and have some faith in sound doctrines.  You're not as smart as the modern world would have you think you are and the Abrahamic faiths for which God has been speaking to has been doing so for 5000 years and He is still the one we all worship from the Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lineage that stepped out of the first human civilization on Earth (Sumer, even before Egypt) to develop a writing system to capture (about 3200 BC) and start compiling the Bibles over the next thousands of years.  Indians never did develop a written language so we in Christianity are at least 4500 years ahead in sophistication and completeness of the 3 true(ish) religions that have a lot more in common with each other than most know.  While the Native American Indian's fate was tragic, we don't need to pretend to need to replace our religion with theirs as a repentance to history.  Shamans, mystics, mediums: please find a better calling– you're embarrasing the rest of human race in view of our creator.  Lord in heaven is having a facepalm moment about whats going on down here.  Even the Hebrews in King David's time descended back to pagan Baal worship for a couple centuries until God challenged all 1000 of the Baal prophets to a prophecy brawl with one (Elijah) of His and spoiler alert: ancient Judea gave up their Baal worship on the spot.
