“Just What Are the Teachings of the Catholic Church on Yoga, Acupuncture, and Reiki Therapy?”

Due to questions received from our previous two Yoga, Acupuncture and Reiki Therapy issues, we add this third article to clarify and solidify the teachings of the Catholic Church.

First, let’s define the meaning of Yoga. The word Yoga means ‘union”, its goal is to unite ones transitory self, “JIVA” with the infinite “Brahman”, the Hindu concept of God. This God is an impersonal spiritual substance, one with nature and cosmos. Brahman is an impersonal divine substance that “pervades, envelopes, and underlines everything”.

Yoga practice runs rampant in Novus Ordo religious orders, with Novus Ordo Church members, secular institutions, and health clubs under the guise of exercise. On occasion, we also see Traditional Catholics in participation.

Yoga has its roots in the Hindu Upanishads, which tells about Yoga thus: “UNITE THE LIGHT WITHIN YOU WITH THE LIGHT OF BRAHMAM”. “THE ABSOLUTE IS WITHIN ONES SELF” says the Chandogya Upanishads, “TAT TUAM ASI” or “THOU ART THAT”. The divine dwells within each one of us through His microcosmic representative, the individual self called JIVA.

But who is to be followed? Who is the Light? Is the Light Brahman the highest and supreme god of Hinduism--or is it Jesus?  “Jesus said:  “I am the Light of the world…” (John 8:12)

Here lies a danger if we’re not careful. Do we not already see a multitude of “Catholics” leaving the Church for false religions?  

In the BRAGAVAD GITA, the lord KRISHNA describes the JIVA as “MY OWN ETERNAL PORTION” and “THE JOY OF YOGA COMES TO YOGI  WHO IS ONE WITH BRAHMAN.

In A.D. 150, the yogi Patanjali explained the eight ways that leads the Yoga practice from ignorance to enlightenment. They are:

1. Self-control (yama)

2. Religious observance (niyama)

3. Postures (asana)

4. Breathing exercises (pranayama)

5. Sense control (pratyahara)

6. Concentration (dharana)

7. Deep contemplation (dhyana)

8. Enlightenment (Samadhi)

Did you notice that postures and breathing-exercises, often considered to be the whole of Yoga in the West, are steps 3 and 4 towards union with Brahman?

Yoga is NOT a system of physical exercises, IT IS A SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE, to lead the soul to Samadhi, total union with the divine being. Samadhi is the state in which the NATURAL AND DIVINE BECOME ONE, MAN AND GOD BECOME ONE WITHOUT ANY DIFFERENCE.

YOGA IS A SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE which attempts to unite one with the divine within oneself and united with all of creation through breathing, physical exercises, concentration, etc. The idea that the divine is to be sought for and found within oneself is, nothing more than OCCULTISM.

The idea that the divine permeates all of creation--the idea upon which the practice of Yoga is based and towards which it is geared—is PANTHEISM and reprobated by Pope Pius lX,  First Vatican Council, Session 3, Chap.1, “On God the Creator of all things”…

“The Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church believes and confesses that there is one, true, living God, creator and Lord of heaven and earth…who, although He is one, singular, altogether simple and unchangeable spiritual substance, must be proclaimed distinct in reality and essence from the world…(Denzinger 1782)

Here’s what “Father” James Manjackal had to say:

“The practice of Yoga is pagan at best, and occult at worst. This is the religion of antichrist and for the first time in history it is being widely practiced throughout the Western world and America. It is ridiculous that even yogi masters wearing a Cross or a Christian symbol deceive people saying that Yoga has nothing to do with Hinduism and say it is only accepting the other cultures. Some have masked Yoga with Christian gestures and call it ‘Christian Yoga’. IT’S NOT A QUESTION OF ACCEPTING THE CULTURE OF OTHERS, IT’S A QUESTION OF ACCEPTING ANOTHER RELIGION…”

ACUPUNCTURE

There are always a few exceptions, but generally, holistic healers (acupuncture practitioners) believe that illness is a SPIRITUAL condition and they use methods based on OCCULTISM and Eastern religious views.

Acupuncture originates in the belief that the yin-yang flows along invisible pathways in the body called meridians, and that illness results from an imbalance in these forces, or the blockage of these forces. Inserting the needles at certain points is supposed to allow a balanced flow of the body’s yin and yang energies.

Although there are theories that acupuncture works either because the placement of the needles send signals to the brain which release endorphins or because the needles block a pain signal to the brain, these theories have not been proven. Even if these theories prove correct, then the conclusion would be that it is not acupuncture that is working, since acupuncture is based on the idea that relief is coming from the flowing of chi and balancing of yin and yang.

What would be working is the relief of pain through endorphins and the blockage of pain signals. This is NOT the theory of traditional acupuncture. This relief would have nothing to do with chi, meridians, or yin and yang, but rather with biology and a proper understanding of the body.

Catholics should be discerning about practices such as acupuncture that have no medical basis and “exercises” like Tai Chi that are designed based on spiritual beliefs hostile to Christ’s claim to be the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).

The fact that such a treatment may work is not good enough reason for using it. Many things in the occult and mystical world seem to work.  The standard for Catholics in adopting a spiritually based idea or practice is not whether it works, but will it cause spiritual harm.

We are admonished to “…believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be from God: because many false prophets are gone into the world.” (1 John 4:1)

These words should be taken to heart in regards to many other holistic and alternative treatments as well—Tao, Reiki therapy, etc.

Here’s a response we received from a gentleman from a previous articles on this subject:

“I assure you that I am at peace being both a traditional Catholic and one who would unhesitatingly visit my herbalist in preference to an allopath for any number of problems. As one who daily prays the rosary and wears the brown scapular, I do not expect to rely on prayer and sacramentals (sic) to cure physical ailments.”

First, we would recommend to this gentleman that he rethink his outlook on prayer and the Sacraments. Saying “I do not expect to rely on prayer and the sacramentals to cure physical ailments” is a clear sign he lacks trust in the Lord. We recommend that he read the 91 Psalm, Chapters 9 through 15 to reassure his faith and trust in the Lord and that the Lord will provide. “The Lord will give you everything you ask for, or something better”—St.Bernard

Additionally, it appears obvious that he has no confidence in the Rosary and Brown scapular. He says, “I do not expect to rely on prayer…”  We would recommend that he heed what Sister Lucia of Fatima told:   “There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot solve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary”.

Pray the Rosary wear the Brown Scapular and keep the True Catholic Faith—ONLY.

“That Hollywood Bunch” (Bunch of Zionists)

The Zionists own the Hollywood film industry--and just about everything else. Their Jewish names appear like pages out of an Israeli phone book--except when they change their Jewish names to gentile names. It’s Interesting to note that Hollywood mogul, Cecil B. De Mille repeatedly insisted he was a gentile, but at his funeral, a rabbi presided over his grave.

Zionists use the movie industry to promote their global agenda, control and demoralize the “Goyim cattle”, (as their Talmud refers to gentiles), and especially, to defame Jesus whom they bitterly hate.

They go out of their way to make movies and documentaries that reek with anti-Christian filth and debase Our Lord Jesus. To name a just a few: “Last temptation of Christ”, “The Da Vinci Code” “What Bones of Jesus?”

A recent television report revealed that Zionist Hollywood movie makers are at it again making a movie that perverts the Holiness of Jesus. In this latest movie Jesus is portrayed as the son of a prostitute. This is just another of a long list of Hollywood “Jesus bashing” movies that distorts Biblical history.

Why do the Zionists so bitterly lie and hate Jesus and Christianity?  Their proclivity to lie obviously comes from their Cabalistic belief in theosophy, theurgy, and mystical Spiritual interpretive methods. The following are some other reasons…

Christianity through the teaching of Jesus tells Jews what they don’t want to hear:

1.  They must value spiritual things above worldly things. That’s a biggie that goes against their grain.

2.  They must repent their sins. Instead they add to their sins.

3. That all men can become “One in Christ”. That rubs them the wrong way. They find it repugnant to believe as the Goyim. They wish to be the elite and treat gentiles as “cattle”, as is taught in their Talmud.  Most of all their hate spews out because they hate being told their leaders committed Deicide against Jesus Christ. They refuse to accept that truth and blame others for the crime they committed against Jesus.

But perhaps the most compelling reason for their hatred is because of the derogatory teachings in their Talmud. This one in particular which states:  “Jesus is in Hell boiling in hot excrement and semen”. (Gitten 57 a.)

How strange it is--if a Goy utters anything about a Jew--even though it be true, as recorded in their Talmud at Gitten 57 a,—it’s considered a hate crime. But when a Jew blasphemies Jesus Christ, the One True God, we hear no cry of hate coming from their mouth.

Satan is behind it all. He wants to lead God’s people off to the side and he uses the Zionists, his earthly agents, to do his bidding. They are behind the Inter-faith Movement, the New Age, and all false religions, more than the public realizes.

Alice Bailey, who took over Theosophy from Helena Blavatsky, said:  “the Christian church in its MANY BRANCHES can serve as a nucleus through which world illumination may be accomplished.” Emphasis added.

And here’s some of what her heroine, Helena Blavatsky, founder of modern Theosophy had to say: “And now it stands proven that Satan, or the Red Fiery Dragon…and Lucifer, or Light Bearer, is in us: in our mind”. And, “Satan is the god of our planet and the only god”. Do you see the connection between Theosophy and the Zionist following of Cabalism?

What if Christians were to make movies that portray Moses as a homosexual?  Portray Sarah as a whore and Jacob and Isaac as bastards? What then would these Hollywood Zionists say—if indeed they would be the least bit concerned. I don’t think that’s a hard question to answer.  They would cry out loud and often:  ANTI-SEMITISM!  ANTI-SEMITISM!  ANTI-SEMITISM!

But have you noticed that GOYS do not make movies that tell lies about Jews?  Instead, Christians are implored to pray for the conversion of these misguided Zionist souls because, the One they hate, Our Lord Jesus, loves them equally as He loves all His children and He commands us “Goys” to pray for their conversion.

“But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you.” (Matthew 5:44)

Pray the Rosary, wear the Brown Scapular and pray for the conversion of these perfidious Zionist Jews.

“Is Acupuncture Forbidden By the Catholic Church?”

After our article on Yoga we received many inquiries asking whether Acupuncture was also forbidden in the Catholic Church. The following compendium addresses that issue.

FIRST, let’s reiterate the teaching of the Church on the YOGA article, “Is It Possible to Practice Yoga as a Faithful Catholic?” previously presented.

It’s Far from me to quote anything coming from a “Vatican ll Pope” or the “New Catholic Church”. But for those Novus Ordo Catholics that insist YOGA is, or should be permitted by the Church, because as they say, “it’s harmless”, read what your “pope”, Benedict XVl warned of in 1989 in a document issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. [at that time under Cardinal Ratzinger]…  

“Practices like yoga and meditation could ‘degenerate’ into a cult of the body…The love of God, the sole object of Christian contemplation, is a reality which cannot be ‘mastered’ by any method or technique.”

We would add:   “No Christian should do YOGA because YOGA is part of a Religious System that is not compatible with Christianity and ‘blending’ the two is Syncretism.”

Yoga cannot be Christian. It originates in Indian Religions, is considered part of the NEW AGE movement and therefore is inconsistent with Christianity. The concept of YOGA is to become self-enlightened and to attain self-salvation. This does not come from God and is not in synch with His Will, and, shows disrespect for the sovereignty of God.

CAN CATHOLICS PARTICIPATE IN ACUPUNCTURE?

As for Acupuncture, the origin is CHINESE TAOISM which is the philosophical system that evolved from LAO-TZU and CHUANG-TZU  that champions a life of complete simplicity, naturalness, and non-interference with the course of natural events in order to attain an existence in harmony with TAO, or life-force. It is closely related to HSUAN CHAIO, which is a popular CHINESE RELIGION that purports to be based on the doctrines of LAO-TZU, but which is, in reality, highly heterogeneous (mixed) in nature and characterized by a pantheon of MANY GODS, SUPERSTITIONS, THE PRACTICE OF ALCHEMY, DIVINATION AND MAGIC.

The important issue here is separation for the Christian from any and all practices that would bring them danger of bondage to counterfeit religions.  Ignorance of evil is a danger and the more we inform ourselves as to the true origin of the Eastern philosophies and practices, the more we see that they are rooted in superstition, occultism, and false religions that are of men and in direct opposition to God’s Word.

The Lord makes it clear… “Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.” (Matthew 16: 23)

The philosophical thinking behind acupuncture comes from the concept of the yin and yang, and of being at one with the forces in the universe through meditation.  The Irish Theological Commission wrote in its document, “A Catholic Response to the NEW AGE Phenomenon”:

“Christians believe man is a union of body and soul, and that the soul is an essential form—not an energy force. The belief that one can meditate and be at one with the forces of the universe is based in pantheism, the belief that the universe, God and nature are all equivalent.”

We concur. All gods of different creeds and cults are not to be tolerated by Christians. (1 Timothy 2: 5) sums it up perfectly: “For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Jesus Christ.”

The New Age movement has no difficulty with acupuncture because it accepts the Eastern philosophy behind it. Those who are into the Chinese-god concept of acupuncture talk about gods and energy levels. These people are “channeling” (conveying thoughts or energy from a source believed to be outside the body or conscience mind). The acupuncture needle becomes their channel from the source of energy of the “gods” into that person.

REIKI THERAPY

In contemplation of inquiries concerning Reiki Therapy, we’ll discuss this subject also.

The U.S. Bishop’s Conference (Vatican ll) described REIKI Therapy as:  “A spiritual kind of healing, with its own ethical precepts or ‘way of life’” The Conference said:

“The radical difference can be immediately seen in the fact that for the Reiki practitioner the healing power is at human disposal. For Christians, they said “access to divine healing is by prayer to Christ as Lord and Savior, while Reiki is a technique passed from ‘master’ to pupil…”

The document concludes, “Since Reiki therapy is not compatible with either Christian teachings or scientific evidence, it would not be appropriate for Catholic chaplains, to promote or to provide support for Reiki therapy”.

NOTE:  The True Roman Catholic Church from its very inception, up until Vatican ll, has condemned all things that are not in accordance with Our Lord’s teaching. (The Vatican ll Church, not always following Our Lord’s teachings, has in this particular Reiki matter, concurred). Obviously, from what has now been presented, Yoga, Acupuncture and Reiki Therapy fall into that category.

Pray the Rosary, wear the Brown Scapular, and direct your prayers to the one and only Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

“The 10 Commandments of the Anti-Christ”

The first of the anti-Christ Commandments states the following:

“MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE”

From 7 billion people to 500 million people—that’s the population control agenda of the anti-Christ’s “Global Elite”. The United Nations, prompted by Satan, is declaring that there are too many people on the planet and they want to take measures to reduce fertility.

Who are these “Global Elites” that support the United Nations agenda? Here’s a partial list of these so-called “Elites” and what they have to say.

FIRST, here’s what the sinister Georgia Guidestones has inscriptively placed on their monument:  “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature”  Obviously this is a tribute to their god, Satan.

TED TURNER, CNN (Communist News Network founder and Atheist) had this to say: “A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”

MIKAIL GORBACHEV, (Communist and Atheist) said: “We must speak more clearly about sexuality, contraception, about abortion, about values that control population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage.”

AL GORE, (Self-proclaimed “Internet inventor” and Tree Hugger) said: “One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children to have, the spacing of children.”

MARGARET SANGER, Planned Parenthood Founder and (self described heartless murderess and Zionist) had this to say:  “The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

PRINCE PHILLIP, the Duke of Edinburgh (eugenicist and fascist) had this remarkable narrative to say: “If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower population levels.”

RUTH BADER GINSBURG, U.S. Supreme Court Justice (Zionist) had this to say: “Frankly I had thought at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”

JOHN P. HOLDREN, (Barack Obama’s top science advisor and Malthusian), said: “Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger society.”

HENRY KISSINGER, ex-Secretary of State (Zionist) made this remarkable statement to describe the 95% he desires to have destined for elimination by referring to them as “Useless Eaters”.

JACQUES (cuckoo) COUSTEAU, (Atheist) had this to say: “In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day.”

The list of those who would deduce the population to 500,000,000 or less, goes on and on. Many more names such as BILL GATES, DAVID ROCKEFELLER, MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, WARREN BUFFET, OPRAH WINFREY, GEORGE SOROS, etc., etc., etc. could be added to this list but I think you get the idea. These persons are, without a doubt, “Agents of Satan”.

Limiting the population of the earth to 500 million will require the extermination of nine-tenths of the world’s people. How will these Satanists reduce the 95% of this unwanted population? Will they do so forcibly by vaccination, sterilization, starvation, wars--or will they be lined up and shot?

Have you noticed the make-up of these evil spirited persons? They consist of millionaire and billionaire Zionists, Atheists, Communists, Promoters of Euthenics and Euthanizing, Fascists, and most noticeably—they oppose God and what He holds Sacred.

These worshipers of Satan hold everything in defiance to what Our Lord has taught in His 10 Commandments and in Genesis. In the book of Genesis the TRUTH concerning population growth is clearly made known to all (except those that Satan has blinded, deafened, or made contrary their hearts).  It goes like this:

“Whoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made in the image of God. But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it”. (Genesis 9: 6-7)

That’s a different take from the Satanists—wouldn’t you say?

Here’s what these radical population control freaks plan for the future:

1. Reduce the population of the world.

2. Establish a One World Government.

3. Promote environmentalism.

4. Establish a One world Religion controlled by Zionists with the anti-Christ as their “Chief Honcho”.

These Satanists will not be satisfied until everything we do is tightly monitored and controlled by freak bureaucrats in the name of “Sustainable Development” (another name for Socialism), the promoting of their “Green Agenda”, centralized global control over all humanity, control of where we live, what we eat and drink (did not Bloomberg ban the sell of large sugary soft drinks in New York?), what temperature to keep in our homes, what type of light bulbs we must use, and any other facet of our lives including spying on their own citizens using drones.

Does this not strike of the “MARK OF THE BEAST?

Are there too many people on earth—or just too many of these “elites” on earth?

Have you noticed the make-up of these so-called “elite” De-Population Club members? It’s quite noticeable that they’re Millionaire and Billionaire Zionists, Communists, Tree Huggers, Politicians, Atheists, and advocates for One World “everything”.  It’s also noticeable that they do not heed the words of the Bible.  A profitable lesson for them lies in Luke 16: 19-31…

“There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day. And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,  desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into ABRAHAM’S BOSOM. And the rich man also died: and was buried in hell. And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw ABRAHAM afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom: And he cried, and said: FATHER ABRAHAM, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. And ABRAHAM said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.

And besides all this, between us and you, there is a chaos: so that they who would pass hence to you, cannot, nor from thence hither. And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments. And ABRAHAM said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. But he said: No, father ABRAHAM: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.

And he said to him: IF THEY HEAR NOT MOSES AND THE PROPHETS, NEITHER WILL THEY BELIEVE, IF ONE RISES AGAIN FROM THE DEAD”

To you evil ones that do not believe but choose rather to control others lives and advocate population control—which is an abomination to God—I strongly suggest you diligently heed the parable of Dives and Lazarus in Luke 16.  If you will not heed this given lesson—then you who seek to control the lives of others and advocate population control--should be the spearhead of the pack to be eliminated!

See “The Georgia Guidestones Guidebook” for the other nine Commandments.

Pray the Rosary wear the Brown Scapular and pray for the conversion of these misguided souls that choose not to follow the teachings of Our Lord.
