OVERVIEW: A woman is drawn into an ancient mystical tradition hoping it will deepen her walk with God. Tapping into the ecumenical movement that began in the 1960s, she represents a microcosm of the larger impact on Christianity. A man and his niece seek healing and contact with spirits of the dead through transcendental meditation and psychedelic drugs. Elvis Presley read hundreds of books during his spiritual journey which transformed his worldview and still influences the world today. Religious leaders, celebrities, businesses and universities increasingly promote and practice meditation and psychedelic drugs as the answer to mental health problems. Where is all this taking us and why is it moving so fast?

Mystified presents the history of mysticism and why it’s related to the belief in the immortality of the soul. Mystified also reveals how Vatican II in the 1960s became the major vehicle through which world religions have come together, including most of what was Protestantism.
Through shared experiences of altered states of consciousness, mystics claim that all roads lead to God and that man can save himself. The predictions and claims of the Bible that Jesus of Nazareth is the one and only Christ are explored through archaeology and witnesses. Both perspectives CAN’T be true and the lines are being drawn today… even in Christianity.
Spiritual Formation is the Christianized form of mysticism with a curriculum designed to foster spiritual experiences without focus on biblical teachings. Through a long series of events, the woman (Stephanie) took a stand to come out. Dondi, Stephanie’s eventual husband, became a friend of Roger Morneau, a demon worshiper who became a Christian author and founder of an international prayer ministry (see his amazing story in Charmed By Darkness – the life and legacy of Roger Morneau). Dondi learned the biblical basis of Roger’s prayer life which resulted in answers for thousands of people, providing a sharp contrast to the claims of Spiritual Formation and its ancient mystical prayer known as contemplative prayer (modernized in the 1970s as “Centering Prayer”).
