Advertisements from Psychic and Reiki Therapists, Life Coaches, Mindfulness/meditation practitioners, Akashic Records consultants, Tarot Card readers, Channelers, Hypnotists, Energy Therapists, and more are offering their services to a generation of people who are largely unaware that these are occult practices and that they are spiritually and emotionally dangerous. Yet these therapists are convinced they are not engaged with evil influences and other malevolent beings and that they are only working with benevolent spirits and entities to help and heal people who engage their services. Sadly, the reality is that such practices are an invitation to being exposed to and being subject to demonic forces. Such practitioners, therapists, and consultants are convinced their activity is safe and helpful; they are not usually aware that they are tapping into demonic forces, and of course, neither are their clients or students. Some become aware that they are encountering spiritual entities, but they generally do not realize the true demonic nature of these beings.
Some, however, do know the actual source of their powers, but their desire for this power and knowledge is sufficient for them to ignore the truth. The same is true for the clients/patients, since there is usually a sense of being helped, at least at first. And this is the primary reason for this book. This is an eternal issue-there is a heaven and a hell, and that awful serpent, also called Satan, is coiled up in these psychic therapies and empaths.
Kent and Katie Philpott have extensive experience in deliverance ministry-casting out demons. They have used the knowledge gained from those efforts alongside research, especially from publications of current occult practitioners and interviews with several people who have denounced their own involvement plus internet searches to bring the most commonly practiced new age and occult practices into focus regarding their tendency to put adherents in danger of demonic possession. Pathways to Darkness: Exposing the Dangers of Contemporary Spiritualities might surprise the general reader who thinks these activities are harmless.
