become impersonal. So we shed all of our personalities
personalities
as human beings and blend in with some
kind of superal supernatural force that
is omniscient omnipresent
utter bliss etc. But we lose our
personality in the process. Well,
Christianity approaches it completely
different because in Christianity, the
individual has eternal value, infinite
value. And each individual is destined
not for reincarnation but for resurrection.
resurrection.
And if we receive Jesus as our Lord and
Savior, Jesus himself promised
resurrection. He did not believe in
reincarnation. He believed in
resurrection. And again, my guru's
statement came back to my mind when I
was studying this contrast. He said
Jesus was an avatar. So everything he
said had to be true. And yet Jesus said
in John chapter 5, he he he said uh he
that believes on me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live. And and and he
also said, I will raise him up at the
last day. And John chapter 11, he said,
I am the resurrection and the life. And
he who believes on me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live. So he taught
the resurrection of these physical
bodies from the dust. Even if it goes
totally back to corruption, that's no
limitation to God. If he created Adam
from dust in the beginning, he can
create us eternal and glorified from the
basic dustlike remains that uh are left
over from our bodies. And that's God's
pattern. That's the biblical pattern.
And so that was an area that I knew uh
Jesus differed in. And another very
important issue, another very very
important issue is this. As a yoga
teacher, I believed in pantheism. I
believed that everything had a divine
essence and everything was an emanation
out of the godhead. and the material
world around us is all an illusion and
it's all going to return back to Godhead
one day. That was my belief back then
when I was a yoga teacher. However, if
you believe
that then like Daoism, which is ancient
Chinese religion, then you have to
attribute evil and good, darkness and
light to the godhead. Because if
everything is God, then God is both evil
and God is good as well. God is both
darkness and light. And that's what the
yin-yang symbol, in fact, if you're
unfamiliar with it, that symbol is on
the cover here. That's the symbol of Dowoism,
Dowoism,
uh, ancient Chinese religion, and it's
representative of the idea, and let me
insert this, that, and the way they came
to that conclusion is that this world is
full of dualism. You have mountains and
valleys. You have joy and sorrow. You
have purity and corruption. You have
male and female. You have life and
death. You have you have all these
dualities we deal with every single day
in this world. And so the assumption
in Dowoism is that because the creation
is full of dualities, whatever brought
it forth into being must have a dual
nature as well. Because you have evil
and good, darkness and light in this
world. Then whatever source brought
forth this universe must have evil and
good, darkness and light. But that
taints the godhead. That accuses God
with evil in his nature, which is
absolutely false. The only way God can
be exempt from that is if God exists
apart from the creation. And if God
exists apart from the creation, then the
evil that is here cannot be attributed
to him. See, and that's a very very
important point because the Bible says
God is light and in him is no darkness
at all. And that God is just and in him
there is no injustice. So if God is
separate from the creation, then we have
to be reunited with him. It's not an
awakening. Now I told you about the
condundalini. Let me continue with
what's supposed to happen. When you
meditate on this thing they call the
serpent power. And really that should
have put up a red flag in my mind
immediately because I knew enough about
the Bible growing up to know that a
serpent is symbolic of evil. A serpent
is symbolic of that which is satanic.
And yet they call it the serpent power
in Hinduism.
And that through meditation, through the
chanting and mantras, through the
breathing exercises, through the asas,
the physical exercises, that power that
is latent and dormant at the base of the
spine is like a serpent awakes to
strike. It awakes and travels up through
the spine. Not really the physical
spine, but the same basic location. and
it travels up through you to what they
term and I don't believe in these
concepts anymore the third eye and the
crown chakra and that's when this this
inner presence or essence of divinity
becomes one with Shiva or becomes one
with the oversoul becomes one with
Brahman and you go out into God
consciousness and that's your spiritual
awakening when the serpent power is
awakened within you. Well, I believe now
that that is a very dark thing and there
are people who have experienced quote
unquote condundalini awakenings. uh
according to the gurus I studied under
they said if this ever happens to you
prematurely it can drive you insane or
it can awaken dark occultic powers in
you that will be unmanageable
and since the time of my conversion I
have searched the Bible from one cover
to the next and I've never found a
person in the Bible that ever had an
encounter with the true God that went
insane as a result or that had the
stirring up of dark occultic powers. As
a result, it only
it only brings forth fullness and
completion and wholeness in a person's
life. It doesn't result in a fractured
mind or a fractured personality that is
subject to these dark kind of forces.
And so that leads me all the more to
know and I do absolutely know that the
power that is unleashed in meditation is
not the true spirit of God. It's an
impersonating spirit. It's a demonic
spirit that uh that gives you the sense
that you're entering into some kind of
white light or entering into some kind
of higher consciousness. But it's a
spiritual delusion. And uh only
encountering Jesus would convince a
person of that. So there you have it.
You have some of the differences. Jesus
also advocated the ten commandments. He
he told someone who came to him, "What
can I do to be saved?" He said, "Keep
the commandments." Well, the first two
commandments are, "I am the Lord your
God. You shall have no other gods before
me." Well, wait a second. and I believed
in all these deities and yet he said you
shall have no other gods before me. And
he said you shall not make any graven
images. Well, in Hinduism they have all
kinds of idols and images that are
representations of God that they bow
before. They put fruit and flowers and
incense in front of those idols. And
Jesus advocated
the commandments to speak against those
practices. So that was a complete break
with the worldview that I embraced as a
yoga teacher and I knew that the Bible
was the source of truth after that. And
I just cannot overemphasize
that uh it's not unloving, it's not
uncompassionate to say there's one way,
but it's very loving and very
compassionate. Not because I'm pitting
myself against those who believe
differently. I'm not trying to argue my
case and prove you wrong. I'm lovingly
out of the depth of my heart pleading
with you, open your heart just like I
did because you'll find out that Jesus
really is the Messiah. He really rose
from the dead. Buddha died of food
poisoning at the age of 80 and never
came out of the grave. And as far as we
know, well, supposedly his remains have
been scattered in shrines all over India
and outside of India, too. But he's
never come back from that state.
However, Jesus died a much more brutal
and terrible death than food poisoning.
And yet, 3 days later, he arose from the
dead and proved himself alive by
appearing to his disciples. So, that's a
completely different approach. And I
think it's important to see that because
they're not compatible. You can't say,
"Well, Jesus
was one of many Christs. Jesus was one
of many ascended masters." Well, then
why? If he was only capable of teaching
the truth, did he teach resurrection
instead of reincarnation?
And of course there's many arguments
that people offer or many ideas they
offer to try and get around that. But
his worldview was unique in itself. And
his worldview is what works because it
brings completion and wholeness into our lives.
lives.
Mike, what do you We're in a whole
different time today where uh from
1975 to 2025,
this has only increased
uh the popularity of yoga
>> and new age uh religions and
>> uh what do you make all of this today as
you've gone and spent time with the Lord
and reflecting on your testimony and all
of the things that you did at one time
and uh what do you make out of what's
happening in today's time? Well, I I do
believe and this might sound extreme to
some people, but I do believe the yoga
movement that promotes the idea of the
unity of all religions
is a precursor of the antichrist because
the antichrist will be a unifying
individual that will unify the world
politically and financially through the
world banking system, politically
through the new world order and the
antichrist will unify the world
spiritually and religiously through the
new age movement. And incidentally, I
probably should talk a little bit about
the new age movement and how it even
gets that name because that's an
interesting thing. So uh if if you've
got a milder presentation of the idea
that all religions are one in the form
of a yoga studio where people go and do
yoga postures to uh to just relax and
get some peace of mind and meditate a
little bit to be able to face life
better is preparing them for an
individual that will come into the world
and claim that he's God that he's the
Messiah. the coming world teacher. And
the thing is almost all religions have
in their forecast for the future some
type of messiah-like figure who is
supposed to come. Uh the uh the Buddha
uh the oh I I don't remember the name of
it right now. Uh but the there's a
supreme Buddha that is supposed to come
in the future. And then there's other
religious leaders. Well, the Immadi uh
in Islam is supposed to be the leader
that is to come. So, this person will
supposedly blend all those roles
together into a one world religion. And
I believe that's why there's such a
surge of interest in yoga and meditation
because it's preparing people's minds
and hearts for something more intense.
>> And and can you talk about the the new
age? And you said you had some
information on that,
>> right? Well, yeah, I thought this would
be good. Uh when I was a yoga teacher, I
used to read uh I used to read the
Aquarian gospel.
And the Aquarian gospel was supposedly a
gospel that unveiled the secret
teachings of Jesus that were new age and
far eastern in essence. But the word
Aquarian comes from an astrolog
astrological idea because supposedly
according to my guru's teachings and the
teachings of many people we are on the
cusp of a new age and see astrology teaches
teaches
that the sun passes through 12 houses as
it circuits the earth and of course is
based on a false view of the solar
system. So now it's symbolic in essence.
It's not scientific in essence because
originally they thought the sun did
revolve around the earth but of course
it's been discovered that no uh the
earth revolves around the sun but still
the basis of astrology is that the sun
passes through 12 houses and each one of
those houses is an age that lasts about
2200 years and that we are in the
Piscian age right now which is an age of
intellectual development an age of
mechanical advancement and scientific
advancement in the world. But there's
still a lot of problems like hunger and
war and uh racism and things like that.
But that we are on the cusp of a new age
called the Aquarian age. And the
Aquarian age is supposedly a time when
all humanity will be awakened to God
consciousness and it will become like a
heaven on earth existence and peace will
reign in the world. there'll be no more
war and basic problems like sickness and
disease will be done away with and
racism will be no more and uh and the
human race will just be living on a
level of godlikeness as we've never seen
before. And so that's this this
passionate goal that many have to usher
us into the new age to usher us into the
new age. And that's what the new age
movement is all about. Some people who
profess the faith in new the new age
movement believe in a mass coming of
Christ. What do I mean by that? They
believe that the second coming of Christ
and they would envision the word Christ
as meaning something different than the
person of Jesus. But the second coming
of Christ is a h a blanket so to speak
of influence around the globe where
everyone is awakened to their Christ
nature and they walk in Christ
consciousness which is an awareness of
your own divinity and that's why we'll
be lifted to a whole new evolved state
as the human race.
Other newagers believe there will be an
actual individual that will be the world
teacher that will usher us in to the new
age. But both of them are heralding the
coming of this new astrological age. And
the one thing I don't like about
astrology more than anything else, and I
just did a podcast on seven reasons I do
not believe in astrology, but this is
one major one. It has what you call a
cyclical view of the future where the
Bible has a linear view of the future.
In astrology, we may come into the quote
unquote Aquarian age, but it won't be
too many thousand years before we start descending again into this horrible
descending again into this horrible state that humans once lived in. And
state that humans once lived in. And then it happens over and over and over
then it happens over and over and over again. A infinitum. It never stops.
again. A infinitum. It never stops. There's never any final resolution to
There's never any final resolution to it. But the biblical forecast for the
it. But the biblical forecast for the future is linear where now we are
future is linear where now we are awaiting the second coming of the Lord
awaiting the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. And when he comes back
Jesus Christ. And when he comes back again, he will establish the kingdom of
again, he will establish the kingdom of God on earth. And it will be heaven on
God on earth. And it will be heaven on earth conditions in that uh world to
earth conditions in that uh world to come where the Bible even talks about
come where the Bible even talks about the wolf and the lamb laying down
the wolf and the lamb laying down together and the lion eating straw like
together and the lion eating straw like the bulock. Can you imagine a world
the bulock. Can you imagine a world that's a repeat of Eden paradise again?
that's a repeat of Eden paradise again? But then beyond that is something called
But then beyond that is something called the new creation
the new creation where God creates a new heaven and a new
where God creates a new heaven and a new earth and a new creation that is
earth and a new creation that is absolute perfection. There's no repeat
absolute perfection. There's no repeat over and over and over again of cycles
over and over and over again of cycles that lead from good to bad, from good to
that lead from good to bad, from good to bad, from good to bad. Thank God for
bad, from good to bad. Thank God for that. Thank God for that.
Uh Mike, uh I'll ask this just just to just out of curiosity
just out of curiosity cuz you didn't mention it, but a lot of
cuz you didn't mention it, but a lot of times when so you just when when you
times when so you just when when you went into new age, you explained this
went into new age, you explained this very deep concept that I don't think
very deep concept that I don't think people are normally thinking about when
people are normally thinking about when they mention new age, which I think is
they mention new age, which I think is fascinating. Now, what do you make of
fascinating. Now, what do you make of the connection
the connection of new age and things like tarot cards
of new age and things like tarot cards and crystals and all of these different
and crystals and all of these different things? Is that still considered new age
things? Is that still considered new age or is this just an expansion of the word
or is this just an expansion of the word >> that would come under the umbrella of
>> that would come under the umbrella of new age spirituality?
new age spirituality? And I think to answer your question, I
And I think to answer your question, I need to quote my guru once again because
need to quote my guru once again because he taught us and when I say my guru, I
he taught us and when I say my guru, I don't claim him as my guru anymore, but
don't claim him as my guru anymore, but this was 50 over 50 years ago. Anyhow,
this was 50 over 50 years ago. Anyhow, he taught that condolini yoga was white

Red witchcraft is spiritual power that is used for selfish purposes. But white

witchcraft is spiritual power that is used for very uh selfless and loving
used for very uh selfless and loving purposes and holy purposes. But he put

all of them under the umbrella of witchcraft. And the Bible speaks
witchcraft. And the Bible speaks vehemently against witchcraft in
vehemently against witchcraft in Deuteronomy chapter 18. God says uh very
Deuteronomy chapter 18. God says uh very clearly that witchcraft is an
clearly that witchcraft is an abomination to him. But see according to
abomination to him. But see according to that worldview the power is the same
that worldview the power is the same source. As I mentioned toward the
source. As I mentioned toward the beginning of my talk the power is the
beginning of my talk the power is the same source but it's us utilized for
same source but it's us utilized for different purposes. And therefore, how
different purposes. And therefore, how would you define witchcraft? Witchcraft
would you define witchcraft? Witchcraft is using spiritual power or attempting
is using spiritual power or attempting to use spiritual power to to accomplish
to use spiritual power to to accomplish certain goals outside of the parameters
certain goals outside of the parameters of what God said is right and true. You
of what God said is right and true. You know, like a medium tries to contact the
know, like a medium tries to contact the dead. Well, God commands in the Bible
dead. Well, God commands in the Bible not to do that. Why? because he's
not to do that. Why? because he's withholding a legitimate experience from
withholding a legitimate experience from us. No, because he wants us to be kept
us. No, because he wants us to be kept from deception and he wants only true
from deception and he wants only true and valid experiences in our lives. So I
and valid experiences in our lives. So I said that to say this. People that
said that to say this. People that attribute power to gemstones or people
attribute power to gemstones or people that attribute power to tarot cards, say
that attribute power to tarot cards, say for instance, are taking that power from
for instance, are taking that power from God, robbing God of his authority, his
God, robbing God of his authority, his sovereignty, his power, and attributing
sovereignty, his power, and attributing to cards or to rocks and stones power
to cards or to rocks and stones power that doesn't belong to them. And so it
that doesn't belong to them. And so it becomes an unacceptable spiritual
becomes an unacceptable spiritual practice in the sight of God. And uh
practice in the sight of God. And uh there's so many directions you can take
there's so many directions you can take that.

Mike, who is Jesus to you? >> What a profound question. Who is Jesus

darkness any longer. And Jesus um also said, "I am the way, I am the truth, and
said, "I am the way, I am the truth, and I am the life." He's the embodiment of
I am the life." He's the embodiment of truth. And he said, "I am the life." And
truth. And he said, "I am the life." And another scripture, he said, "I am the
another scripture, he said, "I am the resurrection and the life." And that's
resurrection and the life." And that's very important to apply to yourself in a
very important to apply to yourself in a spiritual sense because when he came
spiritual sense because when he came into my heart, he resurrected my dead
into my heart, he resurrected my dead spirit. That's the dilemma of the human
spirit. That's the dilemma of the human race. The Bible says we are dead in
race. The Bible says we are dead in trespasses and sins. But Jesus says,
trespasses and sins. But Jesus says, "I'm the resurrection and I'm the life."
"I'm the resurrection and I'm the life." So he came in and resurrected this
So he came in and resurrected this spirit that was uh in in a sense in a
spirit that was uh in in a sense in a relative sense dead compared to what
relative sense dead compared to what Adam had in the beginning. And he made
Adam had in the beginning. And he made me alive again, alive and aware of the
me alive again, alive and aware of the reality of God. and he filled me with
reality of God. and he filled me with life instead of the death dealing
life instead of the death dealing effects of kin uh of sin and deception
effects of kin uh of sin and deception in the world. And those are just a few
in the world. And those are just a few things that Jesus is, but he's so much
things that Jesus is, but he's so much more. He said, "I am the bread of life,
more. He said, "I am the bread of life, and if any man eats of me, he shall live
and if any man eats of me, he shall live forever. And whatever you eat, you
forever. And whatever you eat, you become." Right? If you eat some bread,
become." Right? If you eat some bread, your digestive system breaks it down
your digestive system breaks it down into the nutrients. It's distributed to
into the nutrients. It's distributed to all your cells. it loses identity and
all your cells. it loses identity and becomes you. Well, when you eat of Jesus
becomes you. Well, when you eat of Jesus and he's the bread of life, then your
and he's the bread of life, then your identity and his identity are blended
identity and his identity are blended together as one. And bread exists to
together as one. And bread exists to satisfy the hunger of others. And when
satisfy the hunger of others. And when you really become a follower of Jesus,
you really become a follower of Jesus, you become one with the one who wants
you become one with the one who wants you to devote your life to satisfying
you to devote your life to satisfying the hunger of others for truth. So,
the hunger of others for truth. So, that's some of the things Jesus is to
that's some of the things Jesus is to me.
