@Leo Gura @Preetom NOTE: This is a complex Question I have & not a preaching or conspiracy,and I dont known anyone else whom I can ask this question. There are striking similarities between New age spiritual practices and what is practiced by Satanists.Founders of New age movement (in this age) included some Satanists as well, which includes Helena Blavatsky,The Theosophical society and Aleister Crowley. Anton Levay the founder of Church of Satan, and Satanism religion said: “In the scores of books lining the shelves of New Age bookstores, there are instructions for guided meditation, creative visualizations, out of body experiences, getting in touch with your spirit guides, fortune telling by cards, crystal balls or the stars. What if Satanists reclaimed these for their own dark purposes and integrated them into rituals dedicated to the Devil, where they rightfully belong? New Agers have freely drawn upon all manner of Satanic material, adapting it to their own hypocritical purposes… But in truth, all ‘New Age’ labeling is, again, trying to play the Devil’s game without using His Infernal name. ” —Anton LaVey, quoted in Church of Satan, B. Barton, p.107 Aleister Crowley was a famous occultist and satanist from the 1900s.  He referred to himself as “The Beast 666” and once said ““I was not content to just believe in Satan, I wanted to be his chief of staff”.  He has openly admitted to making blood sacrifice to demons, which he believed jump started his success with magic. Helena Blavatsky writes in The Secret Doctorine: “Satan is the ‘Anointed Cherub’ of old. . . . God created Satan, the fairest and wisest of all his creatures in this part of His Universe, and made him Prince of the World, and of the Power of the Air…Thus, Satan being perfect in wisdom, and beauty, His vast empire is our earth, if not the whole solar system. . . . Certainly no other angelic power of greater or even equal dignity has been revealed to us.” (p. 229) “Stand in awe of him, and sin not; speak his name with trembling . . . . For Satan is the magistrate of the justice of God (Karma); he beareth the balance and the sword . . . . For to him are committed Weight and Measure and Number.” and “It is “Satan who is the god of our planet and the only god,” and this without any allusive metaphor to its wickedness and depravity. For he is one with the Logos, “the first son, eldest of the gods,” (p.234) “The glory of Satan is the shadow of the Lord”: God in the manifested world; “the throne of Satan is the footstool of Adonai” — that footstool being the whole Kosmos. (VidePart II., “Is Pleroma Satan’s Lair?”) When the Church, therefore, curses Satan, it curses the cosmic reflection of God; it anathematizes God made manifest in matter or in the objective; it maledicts God, or the ever-incomprehensible Wisdom, revealing itself as Light and Shadow, good and evil in nature, in the only manner comprehensible to the limited intellect of Man.  This is the true philosophical and metaphysical interpretation of Samael, or Satan” (p.235) “But Satan will now be shown, in the teaching of the Secret Doctrine, allegorized as Good, and Sacrifice, a God of Wisdom, under different names.” (p.237) “In this case it is but natural — even from the dead letter standpoint — to view Satan, the Serpent of Genesis, as the real creator and benefactor, the Father of Spiritual mankind. For it is he who was the “Harbinger of Light,” bright radiant Lucifer, who opened the eyes of the automaton created by Jehovah, as alleged; and he who was the first to whisper: “in the day ye eat thereof ye shall be as Elohim, knowing good and evil” — can only be regarded in the light of a Saviour.” (p.243) “Satan, the enemy of God, is in reality, the highest divine Spirit” (p.377) “The “Serpent,” moreover, is not Satan, but the bright Angel, one of the Elohim clothed in radiance and glory, who, promising the woman that if they ate of the forbidden fruit “ye shall not surely die,” kept his promise, and made man immortal in his incorruptible nature.” (p.388) “Lucifer is divine and terrestrial light, the “Holy Ghost” and “Satan,” at one and the same time, visible Space being truly filled with the differentiated Breath invisibly; and the Astral Light” (p.513) New agers argue: "There is no such thing as evil" Yeah right, like what I am I supposed to call the massacre of Iraqi people commanded by Bush & Tony Blair or that of Syrians, Rohingyas, Africans ,Kashmiris, What ISIS(illicit child of Iraq war) is doing in Iraq and all over the world. If this is not evil, i dont know what is... and all due to 2 crazy men who were not given permission by UN but proceeded and now they are like " we're sorry it was mistake", mistake my foot, can you bring all those lives back?   I am Yet to find any New Ager or Spiritual person who has refuted these claims, Teal Swan made a video titled New age & Illuminati, but she just said people are close minded and stuff and did not address the real question which I have expressed above.
