Enlightenment

[Dr. Anthony J. Toole]

Have you noticed that so-called spiritual teachers always report the existence of a nirvana of total peace and eternal knowledge? It's so close, if only you could just reach and take it. Then you would have great wealth and happiness that surpasses all wordly pleasures.

And these gurus with all their happiness and knowledge, what do they do with themselves? Something pretty amazing right? Something that surpasses the pathetic, limited efforts of enslaved humanity? They write self-help books for socially awkward men in their 20s and overly emotional women in their 60s.

That's why you must shun these false prophets and grab on tight to God's concrete promise of wealth beyond imagination in the after life. Those that believe they will get a return on investment in the present life are deluded fools, it's the after life where the good stuff comes. So keep praying, Brothers and Sisters, ignore those that would lead you off Christ's path.

Amen, Brother Toole! That's exactly what I always tell my Mexican gardeners when they ask for a raise. Well, I also (jokingly) threaten them with ICE. But I'm sure it's the former that shuts them up!

Amen, Brother!


Matthew 6:19-20

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Re: Enlightenment

Amen, and amen, dear Brother Dr. Toole. These "spiritual" teachers seem to be a dime a dozen these days. And have you noticed that they just make it up as they go along? There seems to be no real foundation for their nutty beliefs -- apart from their own books that are geared to inspire people to attend their conferences and retreats. Some of them will even pretend to be delivering personal messages from the , using a variety of gimmicks, as you will see in the attached video clip!

II Peter 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."

I John 4:1 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

A blessed day to you, Dear,
