LEONARD SWEET, DAVID SPANGLER, AND QUANTUM SPIRITUALITY

Lighthouse Trails Research offers us Chapter 11 of the book A “Wonderful” Deception by Warren Smith. It’s a must read if you want to understand things like Brian McLaren Of Emerging Church To Celebrate Ramadan.
We are no longer surprised as Smith brings out the following:
Sweet expresses his personal gratitude in [his book] Quantum Spirituality to channeler and veteran New Age leader, David Spangler. Spangler, in attempting to cast off the negative stereotype of a New Age channeler, would now more likely describe himself as a conscious intuitive.
A pioneering spokesperson for the New Age, Spangler has written numerous books over the years that include Emergence: The Rebirth of the Sacred, Revelation: The Birth of a New Age, and Reimagination of the World: A Critique of the New Age, Science, and Popular Culture. His book Revelation: The Birth of a New Age is a compilation of channeled transmissions he received from his disembodied spiritguide “John.”…
Unbelievably, in a modern-day consultation that bears more than a casual resemblance to King Saul’s consultation with the witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28:7), Leonard Sweet acknowledges in Quantum Spirituality that he was privately corresponding with channeler David Spangler. In Quantum Spirituality, Sweet writes about what he calls his “new cell” understanding of New Light leadership, then closes his book by thanking Spangler for “his help in formulating this ‘new cell’ understanding of New Light Leadership.” (Online source)

Mystics ala Rob Bell immersed in corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, and who believe in panentheism do teach the concept of a Global Family; and further, because of their belief that everything is literally a part of God, they would then see all religions as simply fractured pieces of the Whole i.e. God.
