The Refectory at The Holy Monastery of Xenophontos,Mount Athos
“Now
the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the
faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of
demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are
seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God
created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know
the truth”.
(I Timothy 4:1-3)
The
secret recipe of “New Age” philosophy is the reversal of Christian
teachings and its false imitation. Within the frames of its “ecological”
mask we are being taught vegetarianism (Vegan) as a salvaging nutrition
method with soteriological implications.
Man,
according to the “New Age Bible”, is a small God, capable to do
anything, through knowledge offered to him by the “Great Teachers”. So
he is capable of doing everything the teacher Jesus did, and more! The
man of the “New Age” can self-heal from any disease, bodily or mental,
as long as he follows the primordial laws of…fasting. By avoiding the
consumption of food, the body will dedicate every amount of energy
available to self-heal even from an incurable disease as cancer.
In
the first phase of “Fasting Therapy”: “…we force our body, with
positive thought and patient absence from any food, to bypass the
stomach and seek the fat which is stored in each and every one of us,
for such circumstances. We all posses it even the thinnest among us”*.
In
the second phase: “Our wise body, will enter the “general cleaning”
process, after consuming the main quantity of fat, it targets to other
unnecessary things created by the chronic intoxication, or other
un-harmonic manifestations such as, stains, moles freckles, lipomas,
cysts, fibroids, benign or malignant tumors etc.
The
detoxification of the body, through fasting, affects beneficially and
successfully against: rheumatism, arthritis, asthma, uremia, stomach
ailments, ulcer, chronic indigestion, conditions of the liver,
intestinal disorders, heart disease, anemia, many forms of cancer,
conditions of the blood, hormonic disorders, sexual incapability and
sterility, stress, depression, mental illness even to its most severe
form which is schizophrenia. According to them, there are also some
indications that “Fasting Therapy” has beneficial results even against AIDS!”*.
Essential
supplement to this “fasting therapy” is: “Daily exercise, fresh air,
swimming, daily long baths, massage, protected exposure to the sun, and
especially good mood, mental rest and the avoidance of negative
emotions. Sexual intercourse must be replaced by tenderly caresses or
mild lovemaking, without ejaculation for the men (!).*
Most important however is that: “once
we enter this process, we realize the power of resistance and the
self-healing mechanisms of our body. The admiration is converted into
trust, and that’s the first step towards getting our lives in our hands!
In our own strong hands that know how to sow, to reap, to create, but
also how to caress…”*.
The
prospect of this Self-Theosis through a nutritious technique is a fact,
for the followers of the “Fasting Therapy” movement. Positive thought,
avoiding negative emotions and sex without ejaculation, refer directly
to Hinduistic methods of meditation and “Tantric Sex”. The separation of
foods in good and bad, not only does not exist in the Church and has
been condemned, but in The Holy Bible is described as teachings of
demons (I Timothy 4:1-3).
The
Christian is called to reach “Theosis” and not to evolve, through
various techniques, the (imaginary) God inside him. Christian fasting is
the mean by which the faithful will be released from the passions that
deprive him the grasp of Paradise and not some self-healing
method…Besides disease in Orthodoxy is evaluated positively towards the
goal of “Theosis”.
The
“Energy Diet” promises to put an end to food intolerance, with a simple
test. This test: “Is based on the measurement, through electrodes, of
the bioelectric condition of the various points of acupuncture,
according to the “distribution of the 12 meridians of the body” which were discovered and described by the Chinese, and some extra points discovered by Dr. Reinhold Voll .
The
purpose of this test is to assess the energetic and functional organs
and tissues by measuring the points of acupuncture so that any damage
and malfunction can be located through these points. The conductivity of
an organ or a tissue is being measured, so that anomalies can be
located in the specific parts that reflect on the function of the body.
The
energy balance of the organism can present disorders and be affected by
medicine, poisons, conservatives, viruses, bacteria, foods,
electromagnetic waves etc. The body operates as a transmitter and
receiver of various electromagnetic messages. The whole human body is a
circuit of vibrations which is capable, if submitted to electromagnetic
stimulation, to respond with an echo which corresponds to one of those
waves. This particular wave is the one corresponding to the frequency of
the circuit”. **
We
observe the total absence of scientific terminology and an effort to
present the occult technique of acupuncture behind a scientific mask.
“For acupuncture, the key of diagnosis lies in the examination of the
various nuances of the face as well as the hearts pulse. The
acupuncturist must be well aware that the internal organs are projected
in specific and predefined positions of the facial midline and, and that
in the middle of this line respond the lungs, under that the heart,
ever lower the liver and even lower the spleen. At both sides of the
facial midline, the bowels are being projected, with each having its own
specific position. The acupuncturist, according to them, can by
examining the nuance of each organ predict not only the development but
also the final outcome of the disease.
The
examination of the pulse and the facial nuance, is related to the rules
of the “five elements” (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) of the “four
seasons” (autumn, winter, spring, summer), of the “eight winds” and the
“six pairs” of the “twelve meridians”.
Mans
disease, according to them, originates from the imbalance of the “five
energies”, and it gets deteriorated if the energy of the sky is not to
his favor. These, they say, are “the most hidden secrets of mans
destiny”. The most favorable moment to observe the sky’s energy status,
in order to perform a correct diagnosis, is during dawn…of New Year’s
Day. The five energies of the sky, good or bad, enter man “through the
nose” and remain in the heart and the lungs, from where they spread
their effect on the body, as the acupuncturists believe.
It’s
not easy of course to make a minimum reference on the various
diagnoses, and based on which facts they were established, so that they
could be the foundation of acupuncture, which can cure, according to
them, almost anything!
It still worth mentioning though, on how acupuncture was spread in China starting from the “mythological era”.***
Where
is “Energy Diet” based on? The theory of the “Energy Diet” “…is based
on the season of the birth, which gives us the biochemical composition
of the organism, based on climatological conditions…So people depending
on the season of their birth, have a unique chemical composition. Each
of us is different”.**
“Energy
Diet” is the application of the occult principles of Acupuncture,
Alchemy and Astrology for the creation of the “Super Human” through the
selective use of certain foods. Besides according to this methods
slogan: "What is food to one, is to others bitter poison" (Titus
Lucretius 75 B.C.).**
The “Holy Bible” says: “Do
not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for
our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by ceremonial foods, which
are of no value to those who eat them” (Hebrews 13:9).
The
teaching of the “New Age” wants us autonomous and entirely cut off from
our Lords grace. It wants us to believe with all our soul (positive
thought) not to Jesus Christ, but the small “God” hidden inside us, who
can come forward by using various techniques. For that reason disease is
evaluated negatively and it relies on our own will and the use of
various techniques to self-heal. The people of the “New Age” don’t need
salvation, don’t need a Savior. The “New Age” can teach them how to be
salvaged on their own…
May God Have Mercy.
