Useless and Harmful Mystical Solitude - Critical Issues Commentary

Mystics have promoted meditative practices based on solitude for many centuries. We describe an ancient mystic named Anthony who went to a cemetery to meditate in solitude. The result was demonic torment. Now there is a new twist on such mysticism as Enneagram proponents claim they can tailor specific usages of solitude, silence and stillness to a person’s Enneagram type. We show that their use of scripture is so contrived that it must be disingenuous. If they really believed that the Bible was God’s authoritative word they would look its meaning rather than twist it to suit their religious purposes. God did not ordain solitude; but He did ordain corporate means of grace. The reality is mystical solitude did not come from the Bible but from Eastern religion. The resultant panentheism is not compatible with Christian theism. The meditative practices of Enneagram involve lots of hard work but no certain, good outcome. In contrast, the gospel tells us of Christ’s once for all shed blood that pays the penalty for the sins of those who trust in Him. This podcast ends with a description of true conversion as contrasted to the false one promoted by Enneagram practitioners.
