…written by someone who had previously published two groundbreaking books of information about crystal energies and been a ‘New Age expert’. The author does touch upon the story behind his conversion to Christianity, though it is extremely vague in places.

NeW AGE SORCERiES aND IDolatRies

Occult Sex Practices
The allure of mystically enhanced super-sex is one of the New Age's hottest items. Under the guise of spiritual development a host of occult breathing practices, meditation techniques, kundalini awakening (serpent power), and intricate intercourse techniques are used in a wide variety of ways to generate occultic forces via sex. The experiences can induce a host of mystical and out-of-body experi-ences, as well as the intoxications of drinking the nectar of awakened serpent power.
Past Life REGRESSiONS
By inducing a deep trance state (an ASC) via meditation or hyp-nosis, a person searches the depths of his mind (referred to as the collective unconscious) to recall supposed past lives. From personal experience, I can report that such experiences can be quite richly detailed and vividly perceived. You actually can feel like you're in the body of some past incarnation of you, experiencing all the thoughts and sensations of that past incarnation.
The environmental landscape surrounding the past you can be incredibly detailed, whether it appears as Renaissance Europe, the Christian Crusades, or even sometimes alien planets and extraterrestrial spaceships. The apparent authenticity and depth of experi-epca
can be most convincing and invigorating. It seems that entirely as of the multidimensional you are there for unendingly g exploration and review.
now that such experiences are sophisticated fabrications

MEN BECOMING FEMINiNE ANO WOMEN BECOMiNG MasculiNe
The ideal of androgyny - that is, unisex — is widely held. No matter what gender a person is, the New Age pictures humans as being composed of two equal principles of male and female. A spiritual-psychological goal here is to balance the male and female side of each person. In effect, a man needs to "get in touch" with the feminine side of himself; and vice versa for a woman.
By going through various New Age psycho-spiritual transformational techniques, a man is taught to think and act with more feminine qualities; and a woman, with more masculine qualities.
The overall effect is predictable — more feminine males and more
masculine females.
While still a New Ager, it was hard not to notice this pervasive ideal and trend. There is significant peer pressure in many contexts to conform to this "try-to-be-more-androgynous" goal.
When males start acting more like females, and females acting more like males, the results are simply not balanced nor in alignment with God's creative design. Instead, as it so often does, the New Age tries to improve what it perceives as old-fashioned, unevolved Bible-based male-female roles that actually are based on Divine wisdom.
Metaphysical BRANches of FEMiNisM
In league with the mix-up of male and female identities and roles, the New Age is ripe ground for significant aspects of the feminist movement (though definitely not all its spectrum). In fact, there is a major emphasis on the rise of the goddess and the awakening of the universal feminine principle in much of the New Age. Goddess wor-Ship, female shamanism, female-dominated witchcraft activities, and female-oriented nature worship are some of the most powerfully rising forces in the New Age today…

Whether a person is homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual is all quite relative in their "enlightened" ethics. It doesn't matter as long as the option is "right" for the person.
Is it any wonder that the family unit fares so poorly in the New Age?
FREE-ChiNkiNG Sexual Ethics
Sexual conduct is also a choose your own reality venue. Modesty dictates a generalized, non-explicit approach here. But New Agers have a well-developed system for rationalizing promiscuous sex.
Waiting to have sexual intercourse until marriage is quite rare.
The belief that sex should only take place in marriage (between a man and woman) is considered old-fashioned and even "limiting your potential. Concerning ethics, sex outside marriage is exceedingly permissive, morally accepted, and justified as such in many ways.
Within marriage, one of the more common excuses for committing adultery is the concept of an "open relationship" in which married mates are free to explore their potential by having sexual relations with others as they desire. Immoral sex is justified as something done as an expression of love. The principle here is "as long as what you do is done with love and doesn't harm anyone, it's okay."
"Karma," as well, is a widely used excuse for sexual dalliances. If two people have some karma left over from past lives together, they think, "now's a good time to work out that karma." It is a common practice to attend weekend seminars or week-long workshops, not just to receive knowledge but also to find new casual sex partners.
The sexual undercurrent at many New Age events is pervasive, even if it is glossed over with mannerisms that put a more enlightened mask on the same old sinful desires of natural man.
Social Nudity
Though not practiced by all New Agers, social nudity is a comm-

INside the New Aye NightMare
This branch of the New Age has made strong inroads into the ecology/environmental issues movement, the "Heal the Barth-Mother" trends, the World Peace Meditations, feminism, and the national New Age seminar circuit.
One can only wonder what Satan is grooming all of these modern-day sorcerers for.
GOODeSs Worship, Witchcraft, AND NEW AGE FEMiNiSM
The "rise of the Goddess, the Universal Female Principle, and the Universal Mother" has become a particularly potent rallying cry in the latter half of the 1980s. The New Age claim that "this male-dominated planet must undergo a radical restructuring through the rise to power of the Goddess-principle in order for the New Age to dawn," has fueled a furious fascination with goddess worship, female-dominated witchcraft, and New Age feminism.
The "power-woman" ideal has deluged the New Age with all types of female-dominated shamanism, witchcraft, sorcery, idolatry, goddess-channeling, and male-emasculating practices. Within these ranks are some of the most bitter, anger-filled female activists who readily employ sorcery against others. Being perceived as patriarchically imbalanced and female-suppressive, Christianity in particular is commonly belittled and reviled in many of these circles.
INitiations
Initiations into cosmic mysteries and powers are perennial best-sellers. Today you can be initiated into just about anything you can imagine (and then some) for the right price. The biggest trend here is to receive initiations in large groups from a leading authority at an outrageously high price.
