 Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2003 7:34 pm Post subject: Dannion Brinkley & the Beings of Light |
 |
|
I read Dannion Brinkley's books ‘Saved by the Light’ and ‘At Peace in the Light’ a couple years ago. They’re about Dannion Brinkley’s story about being struck by lightening, having a series of out of the body experiences and being taught various things by a number of ‘Beings of Light’ in the spirit world. I copied some of the things they told him from ‘Saved by the Light’ here. Compare this to what some religions tell us about being cast out of the Garden of Eden (original sin), being judged in order to go to Heaven and the need to have God/religion control our lives.
page 57:
As these visions ended, I had the amazing realization that these Beings were desperately trying to help us, not because we were such good guys, but because without us advancing spiritually here on earth, they could not become successful in their world. “You humans are truly the heroes,” a Being told me. “Those who go to earth are heroes and heroines, because you are doing something that no other spiritual beings have the courage to do. You have gone to earth to co-create with God.”
Page 58-59:
Without words, he told me that everything I had just seen was in the future, but not necessarily cast in stone. “The flow of human events can be changed, but first people have to know what they are,” said the Being. He communicated to me again their belief that humans were great, powerful, and mighty spiritual Beings. “We here see everyone who goes to the earth as great adventurers,” he said. “You had the courage to go and expand your life and take your place in the great adventure that God created known as the world.”
He then told me my purpose on earth. “You are there to create spiritualistic capitalism,” he said. “You are to engage this coming system by changing people’s thought processes. Show people how to rely on their spiritual selves instead of the government and churches. Religion is fine, but don’t let people be entirely controlled by it. Humans are mighty spiritual beings. All they need to realize is that love is treating others the way they themselves want to be treated.”

You're a demon, missionms.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all false religions. |

Well, one thing is certain, I'm not so stupid as to get suckered into, or impressed with, your "beings of light' nonsence , which is nothing but a doctrine of demons.
If I were a demon, I would say all that is true!

There are no true demons, only lost spirits in the earth's astral
plane that appear to be demons.
The Beings of light are not demons, they are spiritual guides.
You are repeating the same lie that the Christian church has repeated
for centuries, that anything spiritual other than Christianity is demonic.
I guess the Jews and Muslims think the same way. Christians burned
people accused of witch craft at the stake in their witch hunts.
I read
a book about the 1694 Salem witch trials. This thing got way out of
hand and was eventually stopped. Everyone was accusing each
other of witch craft under threat of torture. Europe was involved
in witch hunts even more than in America.
No one
can prove that the Turah, Bible and/or the Quran are true. Some
Christians believe Muhammed was visited by a demon which recited
the Quran to him. Humans evolved from other species just like every
other form of life on earth. The earth is about 5 billion years old as
proven by scientists and not 7000+ years old according to the Bible.
The book of Genesis is a myth. New Age beliefs may be the hope of
mankind, just as the Beings of Light say. |

The Salem witch trials DID get out of hand, but putting a stop to witchcraft is NOT a bad thing.
"Lost spirits in the earth's astral plane" doesn't sound like a fun thing to be.
Have you ever studied Creationism..... with an open mind?
Have you ever investigated the Bible.....with an open mind?
Have you ever read any books on the fallicies in evolution? There are many on the market today.
I have read about the New Age Movement. I have read a great deal on American Indian religions, which have a lot in common with the New Age religion. Also, New Age has much in common with Hinduism. New Age, it seems to me, is just begging and borrowing from these false theologies/philosophies that have existed for centuries.
In the topic in the Christian folder, "Why Christianity is the Truth," I think there was some fairly convincing evidence presented for the infallibility of the Bible.

I don't know about the "beings of light", but I assure you "one thing for certain", the Light is for sure true.
You obviously won't believe it 'til you see it.
In your own time. |

II Cor. 11:14
And no wonder, for even Satan disquises himself as an angel of light!

So we bear with Paul, a little in his "folly".
Maybe "satan" made that up, to keep you in the dark.
An "angel" of light is not THE light.
Although I think that "light" in this context relates to knowledge.
You know, like "children of the sun", are not THE sun, the messenger of the message is not THE message, the teacher is not what is being taught.
Seriously tho', I KNOW the Light exists, whereas "satan" is a story-character.
What do you suppose that Jesus meant by reportedly saying:
"I Am, the Way, the Truth and THE Light/Life...."?
In your OWN words. |

THE Light that is in all living beings, it's the "way", the "truth", it can be seen through consciousness of the "I AM".
Each and everyone of us is an "I AM". 
P.S. One won't find it in a book. |

That verse did apply to knowledge. Satan masquarades as something he is not. Both in what he says and what he does. The "beings of light" were masquarading as something good.
Why should it matter to you what the verse "I am the Way, the Truth and the Light" means? That comes from the Bible. You don't believe the Bible, so why should you believe the verse? Either the Bible is true or it isn't. If the Bible is so unreliable it contains lies abbout Paul and Satan, why consider it reliable about anything else?

This is some type of Eastern Mysticism we are talking about, here, isn't it?

I've seen people discuss it on TV. I've also seen Johanson
and White explain their findings on TV, including showing
the bones of the Australopithecene on TV. I've read
about Richard Leaky and taken anthropology and archeology
in college. The evidence for evolution is very convincing.

My mother made me go first to Sunday school
(religious/Bible study) at a nearby church and then later
to church when I was young. I was always a sceptic.
I've had discussions with a lot of christians who were proselotyzing
their view of the religion. Most refuse to
believe in Darwinism and don't even want to consider reincarnation.
The main reason they tell me this
is because "You would not want to believe in something
like this", as they say. They should learn to speak for themselves. |

===================================
Evolution: Evolving. Evolving up. Macroevolution. There is irrefutable evidence for this?
Christians refuse to believe in Reincarnation because it contradicts the Bible. I don't know why anyone would want to believe it? If you are reincarnated, will you ever see your loved ones again?
My mother made me go to church (Southern Baptist), two to three times a week - right up until I married and left home. I eventually rejected most of what I was taught there (sceptical), as well I should have, because most of what they taught was not really Biblical. I don't think I ever heard the Gospel even once! There was a lot of emphesis placed on aisle-walking (think: Billy Graham). Lots of man-made rules and regulations: "it's a sin to mow the lawn on Sunday or drink alcoholic beverages."
As it turned out, God did not want me to become a Christian until I got into a Church that was Biblical.

See my reincarnation thread in this forum. If there is evidence
for it then it is a good theory. |

No.
It's about THE LIGHT/LIFE.
"Eastern Mysticism" may be an attempt to bring people to the knowledge of the light, to excite a move toward seeking to experience "seeing" it.
It has nothing to do with geography, cultures, group-thinking, doctrines,etc, it's an individual thing that we all have in common.
Think about the "spark" of life at the core of your existence, try to imagine what is at the "centre" of your own body and mind, that keeps you alive, how did it get there, where can it be found in your body or mind, where does it go when you die, does IT die too? |

So the story goes.
I think "satan" is a ficticious character that has been invented to justify the materialistic greed, and other failings of people, like "the devil made me do it".
Each and every individual, should have the courage to accept full responsibility for their every thought, word, and deed, and stop the nonesense of blaming it on a ficticious, scapegoat "satan" or "demons".
| missionms wrote: | | The "beings of light" were masquarading as something good. |
Maybe they were good, how do you know they were masquerading?
Maybe they are ficticious.
| missionms wrote: | | Why should it matter to you what the verse "I am the Way, the Truth and the Light" means? |
To me it makes sense, no matter where it was written, or how it was reported.
| missionms wrote: | | That comes from the Bible. |
Comes from Christ, and was reported in the NT, a compilation of selected writings, some of which may be accurate and some may not be accurate.
Funny thing about truth tho' it always seems to "shine" through.
You haven't answered the question?
In your own words, what does it mean to you?
| missionms wrote: | | You don't believe the Bible, so why should you believe the verse? |
Because I cognize with the truth in what is being said.
It doesn't matter even WHO said it or even if it was in a comic book.
| missionms wrote: | | Either the Bible is true or it isn't. If the Bible is so unreliable it contains lies abbout Paul and Satan, why consider it reliable about anything else? |
I don't think it's that black and white.
The bible (NT that we are talking about here) is a compilation of writings, put together by who knows, and given a "stamp-of-approval" by who knows.
Some of it's content may be accurate records and some may be less accurate, some may be lies. |
