Here is a letter I wrote to my Bishop and the head of Mount Carmel Spiritual Centre …it has been allowed a New Age person to give a seminar, Bijan…meanwhile all of his information has been channeled…
They have hired a woman to co-ordinate upcoming seminars:
Dear Father,
Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
Many blessings to you during this very holy season. Please allow me to introduce myself as one who has been a great supporter of many of your courses and retreats. I have been blessed again and again through them and especially through the spirituality of Carmel, namely St John of the Cross. Gratitude still fills my heart for the treasures I have been enriched with through the great number of years.
It has come to my notice that you have an upcoming seminar given by a certain Bijan. It is stated that Bijan spent many years in the study and teaching of ‘A Course in Miracles’. This course written by Helen Schucman was channeled by a spirit which asserts, amongst other things, that Sacred Scripture is in error and this said spirit would rectify the errors found therein. It seems that Bijan also has been made knowledgeable of his ‘Effortless Prosperity’ by a channeled spirit. Spirit channeling is forbidden in Sacred Scripture and within our own Faith. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we find:
2115: God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
2116: All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to ‘unveil’ the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.
2117: All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others—even if this were for the sake of restoring their health—are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity.
