Christian religion - leaving it shows you do not understand it
Nowadays, more and more Christians are leaving their religion and turning to other forms of spirituality, without really knowing what they are getting into and without realizing just how dangerous it can sometimes be. In what are known as the esoteric or occult sciences, you find the best and the worst, and those who are tempted to devote themselves to them are not all able to tell the difference. Those who leave Christianity for eastern spirituality say it is mainly because it offers disciplines and a philosophy: meditation and breathing techniques, as well as a knowledge of the laws of karma, which throw light on the meaning of our destiny. But what is there to stop a Christian from practising meditation, breathing and even the different yogas? And what is there to prevent a Christian from accepting reincarnation? For those who really know how to read the Gospels, there are certain passages that can only be explained by reincarnation.
