The Philosophy of Personal Transformation

By Larry White

Many websites recently are teaching what they call a philosophy of "spiritual growth", of mankind becoming sensitive psychically and becoming aware of each other and together aware of their source or "higher power". In the near future, they say, there will be a transforming event when all those who are ready will transcend to a higher level of existence - The Enlightenment.

While there is, of course, evidence in the world of advancement on a physical level, both culturally and technologically, I find no evidence of general or mass spiritual evolution, and it is very easy for me, as proof, to bring up all the idolatrous filth of ages past and compare it with the exact same things going on today, not just by a few sinners, but by the majority of the world. This dissolution and decent into paganism by the New Age religions is based in the psyche or living soul of man and typically excludes Jesus Christ, the only source of spiritual life, (Jno. 14:6). This has been by a concerted effort on the part of International Jewry to corrupt the moral foundations of the Western world because it is based on Christianity - they then want to take over in the ensuing chaos, which is what, as of this date, we are now beginning to experience. Even politically, what the CFR and the world's moronic Zionist cabal is doing to form a one world government to control and dominate humanity is only what the first humans also tried to do at the tower of Babel, several generations after the Great Flood had destroyed the former corrupt world age. 

The push for Paganism, Kabbalism, and demonic practices is a simple deceptive bait and switch. They focus on the Psyche not the Pneuma; the Soul instead of the Spirit; the mechanical in place of the heart-felt; the sensual rather than the honest. That is why there is a metaphysical, almost scientific aspect of the New Age philosophies. That is why they really don't deal with the conscience filled with guilt, the accountability of justice, the heart of compassion, the responsibility of righteousness and the sacrifice of real love. That is why Jesus Christ is excluded.

However I do see spiritual advancement in individual people among the world's population. There are Christians who have learned from the Father and are diligent to study his word and have faith in what he has said, who have a level of spiritual understanding in Christ that, although not recognized by the popular New Age culture, nevertheless brings them close to attaining that for which life has been all about - finding God and knowing him.

The history of the world is a history of the creator's dealings with man. But from what we can see in our planet's history, the course of it seems to be cyclic, like the cycles of crop rotation in a farmer's fields. He plants and tends the crops until the harvest and then reaps the crops. Ages seem to be that way in that there is a cycle of growing and reaping until the world in its corruption becomes so unbearable that it endangers the harvest of any good produce at all. When all hope of salvaging humanity is lost, that is when the age ends in destruction and God renews the earth and gives a fresh start for mankind.

When we consider human spiritual advancement, the Bible is very important. God has shown us that we, in and of ourselves as mere men, cannot overcome our flesh (our human nature) and live in the spirit, (the divine nature). He even gives the flesh a simple moral law in 10 commandments that Israel of old was not able to keep nor was any nation or race of people able to meet it's righteous requirements, showing us and proving for all time that we as men fall far short of what we were designed for and were meant to be, failing to mirror the glory of our Creator.

The real Gospel or good news that is seldom ever heard or grasped by anyone is that through faith in Jesus, we have all our sins forgiven, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water
(Heb. 10:22) we are then given the gift of God's Spirit, who helps us according to our faith, to be holy and spiritually alive in union with God and able to overcome the flesh and live with God in the spirit.

The Holy Spirit is given to us when we are immersed by baptism for the remission of our sins, (Acts 2:38-39). Our old life dies with Jesus and God raises us up along with Jesus to a New spiritual life, (Rom. 6). Thus being enlightened and spiritually alive in Christ, partaking of the divine nature, we are able to grow into the mature sons of God, knowing his will and purpose for man and enjoying his life and love in our hearts, having our image restored. Therefore we can fulfill our birth and destiny and go on to live with him forever. But again, this is an individual matter, one heart at a time. That is why God created us as undividable points of consciousness; beings in his image. 

In short, each one of us has to be born a second time. What is born of the Flesh is flesh; what is born of the Spirit is spirit. If you are born of the Spirit then you are alive to God and by his favor are able to work with Him and receive the spiritual benefits he gives to his children; eyes to see, ears to hear, power to overcome sin, love to comfort and heal - all the faculties of Being and Life opened up and working again.

We've been in a boot camp - the school of hard knocks. Our mission is to overcome the world. In order to do that we have to find God, go to Him, believe what he says, and then do what he says. Humanity as a whole can benefit from these truly enlightened individuals who act as a preservative of the world. Jesus called them the salt of the earth. But once corruption gets a foot hold and wickedness and lawlessness is widespread, the population is in danger of being doomed.

What the apostle John said of the world in the first century is true of our modern world today:

"And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.
And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."

(1John 5:19-20)

Jesus said,

"I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (Jno. 14:6)
