Slice of Laodicea

Rob Bell heartily recommended Ken Wilber’s book, A Theory of Everything to his Velvet Elvis readers. (Page 192, Endnote 143). He liked it so much that he advised his readers to “set aside three months” to read it. But wait! Ken Wilber is teaching rank, occult, New Age consciousness. I give to you the following to show you who Rob Bell was recommending that readers take three months to study.

Here we have Ken Wilber demonstrating the various states of meditative consciousness. He gives a YouTube demonstration on how he can shut his brain waves down to zero in four seconds. The accompanying text under “more info” on YouTube includes this line:

“More seriously, as Ken often says, “If you want to know God, you’ve got to get your brain out of the way first. It’s just one big stupid filter….”

Here Ken Wilber describes the embracing of our “I-Am-ness”. This is the blasphemous New Age teaching that we are all God. You can further see him discuss this as he sits teaching occult concepts to his followers here on his integralnaked.org website. He starts out praising Genpo Roshi, a Zen meditation master of 35 years. He says the name quickly as he is speaking. If it seems like he is speaking gibberish, he actually is. This is what happens when people claim to be wise, but refuse the true wisdom of God found in His Word. Professing themselves wise, they become fools. (Romans 1:21-23)

This is who Rob Bell so heartily endorsed and promoted to his young readers. When you hear Rob Bell speak of the glories of meditation, be aware of his influences. They are very dark indeed.
