Eat Pray Love: An Initiation into New Age Lies

Welcome to episode 8! 

Pardon my snarky tone,  but I just needed a moment to vent. In this episode, I expose more New Age lies that I fell for, starting with entangling myself in all of the spells cast in the pages of Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat Pray Love”. I truly believe this book was strategically positioned on the NYT’s best seller list for 3 1/2 years just to ensnare women into the New Age agenda. It was my initiation into yoga and meditation and self-serving actions that led me to absolute self indulgence of the temptations of the flesh.  “I want to learn how to live in this world and enjoy its delights, but also devote myself to God” (page 27). Spoiler alert, Liz: you can’t! 

I share a list of many of the deceitful tactics spiritual teachers use to capture us and hold us in the grip of their imprisoned system of so-called spiritual growth. My anger turns to tears as I acknowledge the mercy that has been shown to me on this journey out of despair and into the arms the Highest Power of True Love.
