As a Christ follower I find it disturbing that now in many of our public schools yoga exercises and middle Eastern meditation is being introduced to control the children. Time out and trips to the disciplinarian aka the Principal are becoming a thing of the past. So now children are being directed to sit on a mat on the floor, get into a yoga stance and meditate, or better yet to sit on top of their desks, oh what fun!There is a blending of the practices of Hindu Yoga, coloring and meditation and focusing on mandalas to achieve inner peace. Yet the word of God and prayer to God has been removed from the equation. First the mandalas are just circles and then other objects are introduced like goddesses and so forth and little mantras for the kids to use during their meditation times, i.e. I am a pond, I am a pond, I am a pond, my only job is to watch the fish go by, I am a pond. Really? What in the world? The last time I checked ponds become stagnant and can get pretty nasty. So by all means let's have our little ones saying over and over and over again, I am a pond, I am a pond, I am a pond. Then when and if they go to church they are taught I am a river, out of my belly flow rivers of living water and then confusion occurs. Can anyone see this? Confusion and chaos are not of God.
As the children are older they are taught to focus on their third eye or inner self to achieve ultimate peace and rest. Since the Dalai Llama has been quoted as saying if every 8 year old child were taught to meditate we could end violence in one generation, well one thing is for sure you would end all resistance to forcing middle eastern practices on our kids. Yes you can achieve some form of peace but not true peace from God. Just because someone teaches you how to self induce a trance and you can feel a peaceful feeling doesn't mean that you have acquired inner peace. Jesus said before He ascended back to Heaven, my peace I leave with you, not as the world gives but my peace I give to you. Do you see? There is some form of other peace or He wouldn't have said it that way. The peace that comes from God is inexplicable, no chanting or mantras needed. No bowing down to a statue or Buddha, no need to be a pond or a star or a cloud or any of the other things that they are telling our children to become.
They are being taught the Koran, leaving out of course all references to killing of anyone that is not Muslim, we wouldn't want to frighten anyone of course and teachers for the most part are on board because they are so frustrated trying to get children to behave, to sit still long enough to learn anything and to be quiet so that at least other children can learn. Well.....here is my take on the situation when parents and teachers agree and respect one another and parents are making their children to be obedient at home, there is little need for trips to the principals office or timeout.
I have friends and family members that are teachers and they face many many obstacles every year because they have unruly children that they just can't seem to reach. They create as much chaos in the classroom as possible and the teacher's are left frazzled at the end of the day. Again, if parents were doing their jobs at home, this scenario would not continue to play out in the classrooms across this country. I am not a teacher in schools but I have been a teacher in children's ministry for years upon years and I also have encountered kids that were so unruly and behaved so badly that upon first sight you would think that the child was possessed with the devil, real talk but once I explained the rules, yes we have rules and explained to them that their behavior would not be tolerated, and that they would be removed from any snack or fun activity if their behavior did not change, almost immediately behavior modification occurred.
I didn't mistreat the child, I just let them know who was in charge and that I was not afraid of them and that they were not in charge. So many children are completely in charge at home and so therefore when they attend church and school or any outside activity they have a complete come apart when they do not get their way. This behavior never straightens out on it's own. Children must have boundaries and when they don't, bad behavior takes over completely. Then you see frustrated parents, grandparents and yes teachers.
So, now someone thought that introducing children to middle eastern religion would be the answer and it seems from all of the many articles that I have read and videos I have seen on the subject that everyone is so pleased because the children are responding so well to this new practice. Sure, brainwashing has been used for years and continues today in every facet of life. Sure, if you have someone sit on the floor, get into an odd configuration and begin to chant or meditate and repeat certain mantras over and over and over and over again, sure, you will become in a trance like state. I for one don't want to lose control of my faculties in such a practice and I am having a really hard time understanding why any Christian parent or teacher would think that this is ok. I guess it is out of desperation. They are saying oh the mantras and meditation have such a calming effect on the children, well....so does xanax but we don't want that administered do we?
The children are introduced in the beginning to Om, which is considered a mystic syllable, and revered as the most sacred mantra in many eastern religions. Educators have been heard to say, once the children are lost in meditation, they are much more peaceful and restful and easier to teach. Did you catch that?, lost in meditation. They are less aggravated and agitated. Om, well excuse me, pun intended of course you have taught them how to self induce a trance, I suppose they are more easy to control at that point. Parents, teachers please hear me today. I am not saying that we shouldn't have an open mind,but not so open that our brains falls out!
I see homeschooling parents taking lots of flack and all manner of hateful remarks being hurled their way because they choose to school their children at home in a God loving and safe environment. I praise God for the homeschooling parents. I say my hat is off to you forever!!! You are brave, you are taking full responsibility for your children's education and you are keeping them safe. Thank you God for parents that can and will do this. I know that everyone cannot do this but if at all possible, it really is a great idea. Due to all of the demonic things that our children and grandchildren are facing in the public school system.
Well.....once prayer and Bible reading were taken out of the schools citing that we need to separate church and state. We need to keep religion out of the public school system,they said and many people bought into that lie and took the bait and switch and now we have Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and many many other forms of religion present in schools today and all of the practices that go with that but although diversity is being preached and inclusiveness not one mention of our Creator, so how inclusive can it really be? How balanced can it be when God is left complete out of the equation? I am sure I will have some folks get mad at me, say that I am old fashioned, closed minded among other things but I don't really care. This came from the office upstairs and I am just relaying the message in my own words so I am cool with losing friends or whatever. That being said and those that know me knew that was the preface for the real clincher! which is this: Dance with the devil if you want to but eventually you will have to pay the band and it is a very high price. Christians are called dogmatic, unfeeling, unrelenting, closed minded but what is so strange and funny about that is noone seems to be shocked when Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus do not practice Christianity. Noone tells them that they are being too rigid, or dogmatic in their religious practices.
Why are Christians being singled out? I can tell you why there is power in the blood and the name of Jesus Christ and when He enters a situation there is no one beside Him or higher than Him or even equal to Him. He is all that is needed and the enemy knows this so he brings confusion and other doctrines of devils to confuse people into believing that all roads lead to Heaven and all is well when it is not well at all. Hear me today people exposing our children to these false doctrines in not the answer to behavior problems, the word of God and prayer and leading by example is the answer. Please hear me.
