By Patrícia Pinto, Walter Parks. 2015
A Evidência Científica prova que a Cristaloterapia funciona. Tenho ouvido falar de Cristaloterapia durante toda a minha vida, mas assumi…
que era charlatanismo. Um amigo meu, que era um crente, pediu-me para fazer uma investigação e para tentar encontrar uma base científica para a Cristaloterapia. A minha carreira profissional é a de Engenheiro Aeroespacial, por isso ele pensou que eu seria capaz de encontrar a base científica para algo em que ele acreditava com tanto afinco. Senti que tinha que fazer esse favor ao meu bom amigo. Percebi que qualquer uma que fosse a base científica para a Cristaloterapia iria requer algum tipo de troca de energia, entre o cristal e o nosso corpo humano. Avaliei vários tipos de cristais e descobri que a ametista tinha o melhor campo de energia mensurável e um maior número de dados mais disponíveis. Já sabia, a partir da famosa equação do Einstein E = MC2 que os nossos corpos são, basicamente, dois tipos de matrizes: uma é a matéria (M), que é a nossa carne e os ossos, e a outra é a energia (E), que tem um campo eletromagnético mensurável. C é a velocidade da luz. Também sabia que os defensores da Cristaloterapia chamam a esse campo de aura. O objetivo básico era, então, encontrar um mecanismo que permitisse aos nossos corpos receber uma transmissão de energia, vinda das irradiações de um cristal. Li artigos sobre os Vedas, da antiga religião hindu, e aprendi mais sobre as suas crenças, sobre os chacras e, especialmente, que chamavam ao chacra de terceiro olho. Estive a fazer investigações sobre esse terceiro olho e aprendi que os nossos ancestrais, de fato, tinham um terceiro olho que podia captar as vibrações do seu meio ambiente. Algumas criaturas primitivas, que ainda estão hoje vivas nos nossos dias, têm terceiros olhos. As investigações posteriores revelaram que o Terceiro Olho dos nossos antepassadosGuerra Contra o Ocultismo, Feitiçaria e Falsa Religião
By Doriane Gaia, Gabriel Agbo. 2016
Este livro é uma obra sobre o que chamo de trindade do mal - ocultismo, feitiçaria e religião falsa. Estas…
são os organismos através do qual Satanás realiza seus planos perversos contra o avanço do Reino de Deus e da humanidade. Estes três ramos do reino das trevas trabalham em harmonia para atingir os objetivos acima referidos. Satã é o criador e cabeça de cada um deles. E você vai sempre encontrar o outro quando qualquer um deles estiver em operação. É por isso que eu os chamo de uma trindade. Por exemplo, no ocultismo, você também encontrará a feitiçaria e religião falsa. Os falsos profetas e as bruxas geralmente pertencem às sociedades e cultos secretos. Eles limitam-se a ramificar-se de acordo com os seus objetivos e ações imediatas. Eles são diferentes ramos de uma mesma árvore. Mas como podemos verificar esta ameaça espiritual que ao longo dos tempos tem causado tanta confusão para o homem e sua tensa relação com o seu Criador? Isto é o que nós tentamos mostrar aqui. Todo cristão deve se levantar, vestir toda a armadura do reino dos céus e lutar contra esses ataques satânicos. E nós temos que fazer isso agora; com urgência e de forma decisiva.Mystery Writers of America Presents The Mystery Box
