Pantheism, New Age & Oprah


Reference: YouTube

What do you call this again?.... Oh yeah, pantheism or even worse.. panatheism... taught by New Agers like Oprah Winfrey and her spiritual gurus Deepak Chopra (author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success), Gary Zukav (author of The Dancing Wu Li Masters and Seat of the Soul), and Eric Butterworth (author of Discover the Power Within You), Eckhart Tolle (author of A New Earth and The Power of Now), Marianne Williamson (a host on the satellite radio program Oprah & Friends and author of The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife), and her best friend Gayle King (editor of The Oprah Magazine, and host on the satellite radio program Oprah & Friends).

Depok Chopra says, “The Law of Pure Potentiality could also be called the Law of Unity, because underlying the infinite diversity of life is the unity of one all-pervasive spirit. There is no separation between you and this field of energy. The field of pure potentiality is your own Self.” Chopra then adds, “your true Self, which is your spirit, your soul . . . is immune to criticism, it is unfearful of any challenge, and it feels beneath no one. And yet, it is also humble and feels superior to no one, because it recognizes that every one else is the same Self, the same spirit in different disguises.”

This concept of truth lying deep within each of us as if it were our genetic code is likened to the idea that “God” resides within each of us as an inner guide to show us the way to all truth. There is one truth, but many ways to discover it. You may choose the Christian path; another may choose the Buddhist path, or the Hindu path. It makes little or no difference which path one chooses; according to Oprah they all lead the inquirer to the same truth. God lies within you as your highest self. "You are what you think."
