EP. 87 - EXPOSED Contemplative Prayer, Kundalini, and the Occult Infiltration of Christianity

In this episode of Discerning the Drift, Addie K. Miller continues exposing the growing influence of contemplative prayer, mysticism, and Eastern spirituality within the modern church. Building on prior discussions of the emergent postmodern movement, Addie reveals how core doctrines like the atonement, salvation, and the exclusivity of Jesus Christ are being replaced with universalism, inter-spirituality, and mystical experience.Drawing from Ray Yungen’s Five Things You Should Know About Contemplative Prayer, this episode presents direct quotes from influential authors and teachers—including Richard Foster, Thomas Merton, Brennan Manning, and others—who promote practices rooted in Hinduism, Buddhism, and New Age philosophy. Addie explains how techniques like mantra repetition, silence-based meditation, and “going within” are not biblical, but instead mirror occult practices designed to alter consciousness and awaken what is often referred to as “kundalini” or serpent power.This episode also highlights the dangerous shift toward believing that God is an impersonal force within all people, rather than the holy, transcendent Creator revealed in Scripture. Listeners are warned that contemplative spirituality is not a deeper form of Christianity—it is a counterfeit system that bypasses the cross, denies sin, and elevates man to a false sense of divinity.Dive deep into scripture with Addie as current events, teachings in the modern church, testimonies, trends, important biblical teachings, and the sweeping drift away from the basic truths in the Bible across the modern-day Church are all brought to light to be tested only against the infallible, un-changing, Word of God on Discerning the Drift.#DiscerningTheDrift #ContemplativePrayer #KundaliniAwakening #ChristianMysticism #OccultInfiltration #NewAgeInTheChurch #EasternMysticism #RichardFoster #ThomasMerton #SpiritualDeception #FalseTeachings #BiblicalDiscernment #ReturnToScripture #SoundDoctrine #ExposeTheDarkness #DoctrinesOfDemons #ChristianPodcast #TruthMatters #SpiritualWarfare #TestEverything
