Book excerpt: Divine Or Demoniac? examines the eerily parallel histories of two spiritual movements, one ancient and one modern, exposing the infiltration of demoniac elements camouflaged as saints within them. This book examines the differences between a spiritual movement and a religious institution, explaining why and how spiritual movements tend to become institutionalized, and why spiritual institutions inevitably deviate from their original intended purpose. Divine Or Demoniac? specifically reveals the actual truths of the Eternal Religion that Jesus and his followers believed, the practices they followed, as well as how the Roman powers infiltrated the group, and replaced its original teachings with a religion subservient to the State. When the Eternal Religion manifests in 1960s in America as the Hare Krishna Movement, again the agents of the state infiltrate to destroy its truths, its followers, and its message. The author as an early follower and has witnessed, and reports, the transformation of the group to uninspired followers of the status quo from its inception as once enthusiastic spiritual revolutionaries determined to raise up the world so that everyone could be happy and fulfilled. The opposition of the political powers to that happy life for all is explained.Divine Or Demoniac? is a valuable guidebook for those pursuing a connection to God free from interpretations of a priestly class. Anyone on a path to establish their eternal relationship with the Absolute Truth will find this book a revolutionary boost to their journey.
