Basic Concepts of the New Christianity
- The New Christianity (NC) presents concrete solutions to the problems of life, and concrete methods for living it. The NC seeks to clarify and explain Christian teachings.
- The NC encompasses religion, psychology and philosophy.
- The ultimate goal of the NC is Union with God in this Lifetime. (aka, Heaven, from “The Kingdom of God is within you”, aka Enlightened Freedom from Suffering)
Union with God requires control of the thought-waves in the mind.
- Repeat: Union with God requires control of the thought-waves in the mind.
- Everything in the Bible, and everything that Jesus Christ taught-as well as every other TRULY highly evolved spiritual leader-concerns the issue of obtaining control of the thought-waves in the mind.
- In our current state, we do not have control over our own thought-waves. They are controlled by external stimuli and rooted in the events of our individual pasts.
- Our thoughts lead to words, and our words in turn lead to our actions. Our actions, when repeated, become habits. Our habits become our character, and our character ensures our destiny. Thus, our thoughts-which our not “our own”-control our destiny.
- The thoughts we plant today are the seeds of our futures. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.”
- Thus, we are chained and imprisoned by our thoughts: this is Hell.
- We have the ability to become free from those bindings-to change our thoughts-and the suffering it causes: this is Heaven or Union with God.
- The NC is concerned solely with breaking free from these bindings. Whether one “believes” in Christ or not, everyone can benefit from the methods of the NC, as the NC contains psychological truths which are universal and objective in nature.
- Before one can break free from one’s bindings-escape from Hell-one must learn what those bindings are. Thus, the first exercise of the NC is to “Know thyself,” from which the practice of Watchfulness, or Witnessing, is derived. This directive is all over the Bible and all over spiritual texts of any sort, including Jewish, Hindu, Islamic and Buddhist teachings. The importance of this cannot be understated. (Note that the term Witness is used here in a completely different way than is commonly understood. This term will be more fully discussed in a later posting, but it is the opinion of this writer that common use of the term has arisen due to misunderstanding of its true intent.)
- The Commandments and the Seven Deadly Sins are merely examples of common ways that human beings allow their thoughts to be controlled. They are guidelines to help one see one’s thoughts.
- Unfortunately, in a way, the word “Sin” has itself become a sin in the sense that the word itself conjures up automatic thoughts and feelings of guilt, repulsion, judgment and/or condemnation. Some people can become stuck at these very points-thus, the teachings about sin have had the exact opposite of their original intention by imprisoning instead of showing the path to freedom.
- The NC does not condemn nor judge “sinners”. To do so is to violate many, many passages of the Bible. Further, those who condemn and judge others reveal their own sins, for “The faults one finds in others, are the faults one has oneself.” This is a universal law. Use it when observing your own thoughts, and you will start to become free.
- Among other things, The Devil is the personification of the Ego. It is the ego that must be subdued, controlled, destroyed. The Bible and other spiritual texts address ego issues such as self-image, pride/humility/vanity, greed/covetousness, and anger, over and over again. Many such negative thoughts originate in the ego.
- Opinions and beliefs are dangerous when one’s self-image becomes too heavily invested in, too attached to, those opinions. This includes the beliefs in one’s religion, including Christianity. This means that one’s religion can be a source of imprisonment, the very thing religion is intended to help one escape from.
- The NC teaches methods of obtaining control over one’s own thoughts. These methods are scattered throughout the Bible and many other texts. For some reason, these methods have been lost and are not practiced by the majority of Christians. These methods include, first and foremost, the concept and practice of Watchfulness or Witnessing, from which all other practices derive, Christian meditations, Christian mantras, prayer done correctly, and affirmations, as well as other methods.
- Religion should not function to control one’s thoughts, but should show how one can control one’s own thoughts. Religion should not tell one what to do, but should show people how to find out for themselves what to do. Religion should not label, condemn and divide, but should deconstruct, value and unite.
I am sure this list will grow and evolve, as I myself grow and evolve. I welcome your comments and thoughts.
In James 3:1 the Bible states, "be not many masters, knowing that we shall recieve the greater condemnation." It is a warning to people who teach spiritual doctrine. You would do well to pay close attention to it. When it comes to God and spirituality, there is a right and a wrong answer and people are searching for truth. I encourage you to move past the seemingly deep but entirely unfounded statements you make and pour yourself into thorough study of the Word. Genesis 1:1 says it was there in the beginning with God and was God. If you search it you will find real truth and not have to generate it yourself.

The New Christianity thinking is based on a book called “The Secret" which works on the premise that a great power was released at creation and that the human mind can use that power to bring forth wealth, mansions, luxury of all kinds or whatever a person’s heart desires.
Is this really true? Can we will, wish or image YHVH to do our bidding? I think not! And the Bible firmly backs me up on that. It is a practice in delusion. It is one of the seven spirits of antichrist, FOLLY a.k.a, FOOLISHNESS. It is the opposite of one of the seven spirits of God, WISDOM. The Secret doesn't see the power as belonging to a person who, by the way, is YHVH Elohim translated in the Bible as LORD God or Jehovah God.
Was YHVH's power released at creation? At creation YHVH Elohim's own Spirit, the omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience of His person, moved over the deep and created the earth, sun, moon and universe as we know it. His Spirit is the person of YHVH and the only person/spirit who is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient. The so-called released power that the "Secret" is said to draw from is obviously a counterfeit in the same manner that the serpent decieved Adam and Eve as told in Genesis.
"The Secret" is based on Greek inspired metaphysics and mysticism. It has nothing to do with the power of YHVH. This is just another attempt of Satan to turn mankind away from YHVH, Jesus and the Word to self-centeredness. The proponents of the "Secret" say that the great thinkers, inventers, and religions, including Christianity, are examples of the "Secret" at work. Bucket assumptions are dangerous.
Matthew 6 makes it very clear that the Secret is all just a big sales pitch for self-centered desires. Matt. 6:1-34 provides some explicit instructions on personal attitude toward YHVH, His power, and His kingdom. It is also about trusting in YHVH to provide. This chapter is great for testing the spirit of such teachings as “The Secret” and Dominionism.
Questions to ask of any teaching: Are the teachings self-centered or Christ centered? Are they of the Spirit of YHVH or the spirit of antichrist?
