Suicide Ideation is a Spiritual Awakenin...

Heaven & Healing Podcast
About this episode

Only a New Age teacher would say something like “suicide ideation is a symptom of spiritual awakening.”

 

We hear stuff like this all the time within this dangerous, psuedospiritual community: “people mistake wanting to die with an ego death,” “we carry karmic loads from previous lifetimes that we must unpack in this life to usher soul growth,” “your suffering is teaching you how to expand” and other nonsensical expressions that sound like a prophetic answer to the untrained, vulnerable, desperate ear.

 

Of course, none of it is true. It’s all a deception, authored by the enemy and designed to lure you further into the trap of satanism gift-wrapped as “self-healing.”

 

This two-part episode is a response to popular New Age teacher Christina Lopes’ recent YouTube video where she ‘explains’ the spiritual ramifications of suicide ideation, presenting pantheistic and Buddhist concepts as justifications to one’s suffering. Christina says there is no eternal punishment for suicide (or anything), that our soul comes back over and over to achieve eternity (?), that someone who wants to die is simply having an ego death, that the planet is a conscious being going through “her” own soul expansion which affects our own, and that we should seek out shamans for support.

 

In part-one, I address her reasoning as to WHAT suicide ideation is and why it’s utter hogwash by challenging the inconsistencies and pitfalls of her New Age frame with a solid, coherent biblical frame.

 

In the part-two members-exclusive, I tackle her illogical, manipulative perspective as to WHY suicide ideation is on the rise and the SOLUTIONS she offers in the face of that — and bring it all back as to why JESUS is the only Way, Truth and Life despite how many self-proclaimed spiritual gurus claim otherwise.
