New Age Book-Scary

This book is being pushed as the "Oprah" book of the month.

Read this quote from the book:

"'And I saw a new heaven and a new earth', writes the biblical prophet. The foundation for a new earth is a new heaven--the awakened consciousness. The earth--external reality--is only its outer reflection. The arising of a new heaven and by implication a new earth are not future events that are going to make us free. Nothing is GOING to make us free because only the present moment can make us free. Thus realization is the awakening...So the new heaven, the awakened consciousness, is not a future state to be achieved...What did Jesus tell his disciples? 'Heaven is right here in the midst of you'."

Scripture taken out of context and meaning can be used to say anything you want it to say. This isn't true spirituality. It's deception and you know where that comes from.
