My CRAZY New Age To Jesus Testimony: From Moving to Bali, Living in LA Mansions, & Losing Everything
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video, I share my wild spiritual journey from New Age to Jesus (viewer discretion advised).
While in the New Age space, I tried just about everything under the sun-manifestation, law of attraction, inner child healing, shadow work, breath work, yoga, ecstatic dance, astrology, gene keys, energy work, hypnosis, tantra, channeling, crystals, psychedelics… You name it, I did it.
Although it seemed empowering at first, it ultimately led me down a very dark path.
At the lowest point of my life in the summer of 2022, Jesus Christ saved me out of the darkness, opened my eyes to the deception of New Age spirituality, and showed me The Way to eternal life.
For the first time in my life, my soul is finally at peace.
Through the blood of Jesus Christ, my sin-ridden past has been wiped clean and I have been made a new creation... THANKS BE TO GOD!
I hope my story may serve as a WARNING about the dangers of New Age and offer HOPE for anyone who may be lost like I once was. If Jesus was able to save me, then I know He can save anyone... no matter how far "gone" they may seem.
If you’re a seeker like I once was and you're tired of living in a perpetual state of existential anxiety and depression, I invite you to call out to Jesus TODAY.
He's waiting for you with open arms.

I could never explain the experience of the new age. It was like seeking seeking seeking but never finding. You’ll go from the university, to channeling, to “I’m an alien” yaddi yaddi…. And never finding until I found my way back to The Way The Truth and The Light. 🙏

@@shilohbell1573 Haha yea, the deception progresses quickly... so happy you found your way back! Praise the Lord 🙌🏻
Yes. Good description @shiloh 🤪🤪🤪😵💫😵💫
Me too❤
Similar experience. From Buddhism to new age, always seeking, never finding. Until I read in John's Gospel ' Jesus is the Word and the Word became flesh'. That ended the search. I found the Answer I was looking for.
Praise God! ❤️🙏
I was born again in July 2022 too!Came out of new age garbage…Hallelujah! ❤️🙏 I am full of so much gratitude and always will be ❤️🙏 Jesus changed my life and I’m a new creation 🙏❤️
We are all broken, that’s why we need Jesus ❤️🙏 much love to you brother 🙏❤️
Praise Jesus!! So glad to hear that brother. May you be filled with the Light of Christ all the rest of your days. God bless and big love! 🙏🏻
thankyou! ALL glory to God!
FYI- I’m a sister, my name is Jamie, I like Jay for short..
Much love to you Brother, peace be with you 🙏❤️
@@jay___forjesus my apologies, sister! Peace be with you 🙏🏻
@@TheGreatGanddinino worries at all… much love from Australia ❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your story! It is so encouraging!! Jesus is LORD! I resonate with your story in so many ways. My dad was a Lutheran minister and yet my stubborn sinful nature kept me from recognizing Christ for 35 years (until just a month ago!). I was heavily sampling from the buffet of New Age beliefs for years (including mushrooms and DMT like you) and all it gave me was utter anguish and despair. I am finally at peace..and it's a peace and a joy that permeates every fiber of my body and soul!
Loved your testimony. I am glad you helped your ex gf get help. I was saved in August 2023 and I have so much more peace in my life now. I'm still learning and growing but beyond grateful to be on this new chapter!
Praise the Lord! The remnant is rising. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you along your journey 🙌🏻🙏🏻
You are very well spoken. The Lord is using you mightily. Praise God!
I fell away after some traumatic experiences…it started innocently and I read Joe Dispenza’s books and kept digging down the hole of new age.
In a dream I was sitting alone in my church of 20 years. I felt over joyed and remember thinking this just feels right, I’m home! I believe God called me back to Catholicism and I couldn’t be happier. ❤

@@user-rn6ry6cc8u he seems like one of the lesser harmful guy because he’s got a decade of studies of the brains effect of meditation on the mind so you’re like ok, got some science. But then there’s some manifestation and other stuff once you take a deeper dive. He went to the school of Ramtha. I have severe anxiety and I truly was just looking to see if innocent meditation could calm my nerves. Mmm maybe , but not close to the rosary. I never did find my 10 million dollar house in the quantum. He never told us where it was or if it was gonna fall out the sky?? 😂
Great testimony bro I can really relate to your story. I was in new age for 3 years and also was in a. Toxic relationship, God pulled me out and saved me. Keep sharing your testimony bro ❤❤
As SOON as TH-cam's algorithm picked up on this as a Christian video, your views were suppressed. I see this all the time on social media and video hosting sites. I pray God get's your testimonies in the right hands so that His name can be magnified. Same prayer for me.
Thank you for the prayer! I'm sure this type of suppression happens sometimes, but I just checked the analytics for this video and it's actually continuing to get more and more views with each passing day. Lord willing it continues in this upward trajectory 🙏🏻
@@TheGreatGanddini Lord willing! Amen!
Eckhart Tolle and Alan Watts were my introduction to all this "law of attraction"/"christ-consciousness"/"all paths lead to god" new age stuff, eventually leading to incessant demonic dreams, sleepless nights, and toxic romantic relationships for the last 7 years or so. Went through every healing modality the new age has to offer, nothing ever worked. Finally cried out to Jesus and opened the Bible and healing began in that instant. Sleep returned and demonic dreams ended. Thanks for sharing your story. I also lived in LA for the last 13 years (moved away from California last year) and it seems like that place is such a mecca for people who are VERY lost, creating all these empty false religions that, unbeknownst to them, are doing so much harm. Keep spreading the word!
PRAISE THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIDST ALMIGHTY
GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER.
Praise God! I was saved from new age 2 months ago and I am finally feeling the same Peace! Thank you for sharing 💓
These testimonies are great. I feel we could go beyond and try to start advertising against new age stuff to create awareness of its dangers before people get too deep into it
I wish I knew of the dangers. I got into a mess I can’t get out of and maloveolent beings as taking me and my family to hell😢.
I think so too! but howw
@@Tene-xh9vlYou can with the Lord Jesus Christ
I also have a new age to Jesus testimony. I did write my testimony. Before leaving home every day led by the HS I pray for at least one soul to witness to and JESUS always puts on my path someone that is seeking truth, and many are new agers. Today at the grocery store I had a 30 mins conversation with someone who is in the new age and I gave her my testimony to read. She was in tears touched by HS. I always give my email and pray for them. We can all do it one soul at a time.
Thank you for sharing. I’m on a new path and I’m not yet sure where it’s going but I’m open to finding out. After being into new age for 8 years. I’m happy that I didn’t get into some of the deep practices that I’ve heard people got into. It was partially fear, and partially being blocked from entering certain things and I’m starting to believe that God had a role in it too, not letting me get too lost. Although I did get somewhat lost for a while. One detrimental side effect is separation, self-help seems to separate us from people. However it did open my mind to the notion of God. So I got both sides I think, the good and the bad. And here I am, listening to testimonies, and being brought people who walk in faith ☺️❤️
Praise God for crying out to Jesus. Jesus is the way the truth and the life 🙏❤️
Your parents are a true blessing!
I'm sure you already know this, butt he Bali part of your story is almost identical to the story of the prodigal son. I love that.
💯✝🙏🏻
So thankful you are free and sharing your testimony for the glory of God.
Praise the Lord! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
Also that self help business trap is very very real
Beautiful testimony. Out of new age after 20 years. Grew up in the Lutheran church. I believe I knew Jesus when I was little, but we did not have an active faith and our whole family fell away, tragically. Found Jesus again in 2023 at 58, praise God! 🙏 Opened my 50 year old Bible and began to REALLY seek Him. Found an amazing church. Was baptized on Easter this year. I still say, over a year later...it's ALL there! In His Word. Sometimes I feel cheated by the years away from Him, and I've repented of those choices. I am eternally GRATEFUL for his patience and unending love and grace. The peace you speak of is such a gift. Thank you for sharing your testimony home to Him. So AWEsome. ❤️
Hi,thank you for your sharing!! I really appreciate it,I myself was 18 years involved in new age teachings and I got safed a short while ago...I pray also God to show me the right time to do a testimony...but I so much feel for your testimony,I would like to connect if u like.
Yes,new age is totally brainwashing and addicting to search🥲🥲🥲But God is good! Thanks again for your courage to share,I will share your testimony as well!
Praise the Lord!! So happy to hear that! God is so, so good. May the Holy Spirit guide you and give you courage to share your testimony, if it be God's will for you to do so 🙏🏻 Feel free to reach out to me on any of my social media platforms (links are on my TH-cam banner)
I pray your wife comes & when she does ..no premarital sex. That opens doors to confusion & demonic attack. Dismantle old soul ties from previous relationships. Great video!
💯 agreed. Thanks for watching. God bless!
Excellent testimony, this is a great platform to share!!!!!!!! was able to gain perspective👏👏👏
Don’t forget the belief in soulmates and twin flame so you don’t find a godly marriage
Thanks for sharing. Wait on the Lord. He directs our steps ❤
I used to love that book, conversations with God. I was saved in 2020 out of the new age. God is so good.
Great testimony brother in Christ! Just subbed. God is so great I can’t begin to describe
its very bold of you brother to share. great job.
Don't pay attention to the nay-sayers in these comments, because when you talk of learning to gain a real relationship with God & his Son Jesus Christ & learning who you are to them, a son of God, then we & I do feel good inside, we feel the Spirit of the Holy Ghost giving us peace & happiness & conviction that what you are saying is true. Every time I hear God's truths I feel that good reassuring feeling, but, when I read some negative comments or a twisting the truth, I feel sad & a pit in my stomach & know their comments are not based in truth. You know the difference & can trust in God's word & can trust in inspiration from prayer.
Very interesting story - thanks for sharing- and praise Jesus 👏🏻
Beautiful testimony! Thank you for sharing ❤️ 🙏
Wonderful and important! Thank you and God bless.
What a testimony of a prodigal, I love how you explain things , you have a gift to share with those who are still lost.
What an amazing testimony!
Thank you so much for sharing it!
Thank you for watching! God bless 🙏🏻
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! I was also born again in 2022. September 16 I called on His name and in December I started being His disciple
Great to hear your testimony my bro God is good !!!

Thanks for sharing this powerful testimony. Ending with a great gospel message. May God bless your words to many.
Thank you! God bless! 🙏🏻
God bless you Stephano.
Thank you Carlos, God bless!
I just found your channel. Thank you for sharing your testimony! You express yourself so well and your story gives me hope that no one is beyond the grace of God. Please pray for a family member's conversion. I will pray for you. God bless you.
Absolutely! No one is beyond the grace of God. Never lose hope.
I believe that my family's prayers for me played a huge role in my safety through all that I experienced and in my return back to the faith. I doubt I'd be here today without those prayers.
I will pray for your family member's conversion. Thanks so much for the prayers. God bless! 🙏🏻
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!
Thank you for watching. God bless and Happy New Year! 🙏🏻
Thank you!

All glory be to God 🙏🏻✝️🕊️

Why do we seek?
Is there any reason to seek a better future
if we're fully comfortable and content
with the way our body feels now?
When thoughts slow down,
you may notice that there is discomfort in the body,
which may show up in a myriad of ways:
pain, anxiety, anger, or any other sensation or emotion...
This is part of the reason that we get addicted to thought-
because it’s an immediately available way
to avoid or try to fix
the way our bodies feel.
We won't be able to rest in presence for very long
if we keep ignoring or avoiding discomfort.
Rather, we'll continue to follow thoughts about past and future...
We'll keep trying to escape...
So, how do we bring direct attention to the energies of our body?
The first step is to acknowledge that you are feeling something.
We tend to acknowledge emotions and sensations first through the mind...
We might think, "I’m angry," or "I’m afraid of what might happen,"
or we may simply notice that something is bothering us...
But we can't feel emotions or sensations through thinking.
These thoughts are narratives or labels for how we feel.
They are not the actual energies themselves.
For example, if you have the thought "I have a stomachache,"
that thought is a label for something that is actually happening in your body...
In order to actually feel or experience the stomachache directly,
you would have to bring attention down into the stomach area
and feel it without thoughts on it...
The same is true for all emotions and sensations.
Once you acknowledge that you feel something
or have been triggered by someone or some event,
bring attention very gently to the body
where you feel the actual emotion or sensation...
With your attention there, feel into the sensation or emotion,
and see if you can notice the peripheral space around it at the same time.
Let the emotion or sensation just hang there in that open space,
without trying to change, neutralize, or get rid of it.
It is common to want to change, neutralize, or get rid of bodily energies.
Just notice any tendency to want to do these things.
This is resistance at work,
and trying to stop that resistance from happening
is simply adding more resistance.
Bear in mind that we give power to words, pictures, and bodily energies
by turning awareness away from them.
And we diminish their power by turning toward them
and remaining aware of them until they fade naturally.
That one simple understanding,
if turned into a daily practice,
is highly transformative.
Greetings. I feel sad when people choose darkness over light and destroy their life. I see lot of them and I am from an Eastern country.
Only Jesus Christ saves and there is no light in any one else.
It is sad, indeed. We must pray for the lost souls and not lose hope - may they be touched by the Holy Spirit and profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. If someone as lost I was can be saved, anyone can be saved 🙏🏻
Please pray for me if so led thank you
Amen Amen Jesus is Alive!!! Praise Jesus! Thank you THANK YOU for sharing such a powerful testimony. I can relate to your story in more ways than 1. Keep exposing the darkness and deception.! Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible-and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. Ephesians 5:11-16
jesus my lord and saviour
Great testimonial video dear brother, and I know it is quite difficult to sum up your entire life story in a video. And it’s also painful. Thank you for being vulnerable with us and sharing with us. May your testimony help bring others to Jesus Christ, Our Lord. I believe your testimony does bring glory to God.
I think of Jude 1:23 in this video -
save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.
- Jude 23
Ps I liked and subscribed to your channel as well. I’m in your corner my brother in Christ. You have my prayers, my love, and my tears.
Just seeing this comment now… for some reason it was marked by TH-cam as “likely spam” so it was held for review and I had to approve it.
But thank you for this comment and the support, my brother in Christ! It certainly was not easy to sum up my whole life story in a single video. There were so many more things I left out still, but I did my best and sometimes done is better than perfect.
Love that Jude verse- definitely spot on. It’s always a delicate balance to have compassion while also giving caution. I attempted to do both in this video, and I pray that the Lord take what is wholly insufficient and infuse it with His grace for the salvation of souls.
Your support means so much to me brother. You know I’m in your corner too. 🙏🏻
🙏🙏🙏
❤❤❤❤
💗💗💗💗💗💗
Incredible testimony my brother. You got such a rock solid setup also!
Can totally relate. Keep up the great work.
I find that those who truly go deep into the rabbit hole and are actually honest they will come to the realization that the Catholic Church is the true church.
Thanks brother, glad you can relate. All glory be to God! And Amen!!
@@TheGreatGanddiniI loved the ending about knowing your true identity. Gave me chills down my spine…
@@TheGreatGanddiniGod willing when the time comes if you find in your heart a place to be interviewed, it won’t be a standard testimony. I feel it has to be explored because people need it. I was in those circles with you and there’s a ton of questions I have that I believe would relay help a ton of people out.
Keep it up bro!
@@LorenzoMasterConnectoryes bro, I remember running into you that night of my birthday at the Hollywood mansion party. So I know you’ve been deep in those circles too.
I’ll keep you posted on the interview. Feel free to DM me some of those questions on Facebook. Might be helpful for some future video ideas too!
Please pray for me getting attacked on my left side thank you
Great post , I,would also recommend you listen to jay dyer who was born baptist then was catholic 10 years,now Orthodox, reason being at the top the pope is ecumenical and lucerferian-long story
Can you pray for me please I want to be born again and find Jesus Christ
Praying! 🙏🏻✝️🕊️
Highly recommend reading this book: fatheroflove.info/book/view/the-divine-pattern-of-life
@@TheGreatGanddini thank you
The new age is pure madness. Just neverending twists and turns. Pure manipulation and very confusing
How did you qualify for unemployment as a coach?
So smoking DMT is a sin is what you’re saying? I would like to hear more about DMT and how we as followers of Jesus shouldn’t be taking DMT.
The bible will be your best source for finding out how Jesus feels about his followers taking substances that cause hallucinations. The neat thing about the bible is it not only contains the words of Jesus and the testimonies of those who witnessed him and walked with him, but it also contains entire books by his followers about him, what they learned from him, and what it means to follow him. If you read the bible with the intention of wanting to know Jesus' personality and his perspective on following him or taking substances to experience hallucinations, I guarantee you it will become clear to you that nothing in the bible, in the old or new testament, even remotely suggests that a follower of Christ would inhale a toad's secretions and think it was obedience to the commandments of God.
Notice those who take it and love it and find it life changing dont leave the experience with "Jesus is Lord" as their confession?
They leave the experience feeling one with the world, but the bible says the world is Satan's and friendship with the world is enmity toward God. (James 4:4)
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2)
Mike Tyson and Joe Rogan are 2 of the biggest supporters and promoters of DMT but their experiences from it didnt lead them to Christ, instead they are fine without Christ and you will find most all DMT users are or realize the deception of it and turn to Him as the Way the Truth and the Life.
27:26 is where he starts to explain the deception and brainwashing caused by DMT
So u one of them. Happy 4 u. No we dont have our unique journeys. Some dies went to hell
What in the world is a dmt ceremony gift? It must be like giving someone an "adultery" ceremony gift. The devil can package mortal sin nicely in order to normalize it. This is why we urgently need to receive the true Body and Blood of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist in order to save us and keep us from falling into sin.
So....did you get Born Again???
Do you believe psychedelics can be used as medication? Why do you feel God made those things, like mushrooms and ayahuasca?
This is a tough question to answer. What I’ll say is this:
I do believe that psychedelics, as demonstrated in the John Hopkins research studies have shown, *can* have the ability to be used as a medical treatment. That being said, I also believe that psychedelics open you up to demonic spiritual realms that have the potential to put your soul in grave danger. For this reason, I do not advocate for the use of psychedelics. The risk is not worth it. Everyone always talks about the positive benefits of psychedelics, but often gloss over the extremely high risks - psychosis, suicide, manslaughter… very dark things can happen when one has a “bad trip.”
As for why God made these things… I could make guesses, but I don’t know. If I had the mind of God I would let you know, but I do not. All I know is that just because something is “natural,” doesn’t mean it’s good for you to ingest. The Word of God tells us:
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
@@TheGreatGanddini thank you for your reply. And thank you for your work.
It is sadly interesting that in the "new age" basically, anything goes, except believing in & following Jesus, don't ever mention to them about his commandments or beliefs, which talk against all that they are doing. Yes there are levels of what new agers are willing to do & what is a no-no to them but, if you want to do illegal drugs, go for it, if you want to be a nude dancer or do nude photo shoots, go for it, if you need to steal to get money, well, don't get caught & it is ok, child sex or pedo stuff, well, you are just expressing yourself & since there is no evil, then it is not wrong in your world view. Basically, all evil is not really evil, it is just experiencing life. There is no lasting happiness or peace in these destructive practices & beliefs, and the Devil & his minions laugh about you suffering & believing in their lies. This life is a testing ground to have you choose for yourself, to follow the one true God & his son; he will never force you to him, but always has his hand out to receive you, if you will.
The woman who suddenly exploded on you for doing something normal. I know what that is like. You are left just like wtf just happened!
She sounds like bpd
Most likely… She certainly seemed to fit all the criteria. I also found out from her mother afterwards that her estranged father also had bpd, so it would make sense. Really opened my eyes to the realness of mental illness.
I didn’t learn I was a God, but I was enlightened to the Christ consciousness. We could probably compare notes lol.
I never tried the psychedelics though.
Oh yeah, heart brain coherence, it’s already yours so raise your frequency to match what you are asking for in the quantum. Lol
Satan will give anyone what they ask him for but new age leaders don’t tell you your manifestation isn’t from God. Thank God we are out of that crazy. Did you do meditations and frequencies to active your junk dna. That’s what prevents people from getting $.😂
Should just start a family
Sounds like you went from one chasing one truth to another. Perhaps the truth is that there's many truths. There's benefits to psychedelics at some point in time, there's also benefits from walking away from it. To constrain ourself to one ideology is limiting. I expect there'll be a video in 2 years where you've "found" a new way.
Stick around and we shall see.
Keep going! Catholicism is not Christianity, keep seeking the true Christianity! The Catholic religion even rewrote the 10 Commandments to suit itself, and the true 10 Commandments still apply today.
You shouldn't say things like that brother . We are all Christians ..followers of Jesus .. I happen to be catholic rescued from God from santería. pls don't throw dirt and confusion about the 10 commandments or into any denomination. Jesus and His spirit are working in all of them
Educate before you judge. You sound ignorant. How embarrassing.
You sound ignorant and judgmental. Ever even read the Nicene creed? Educate yourself before you embarrass yourself with untrue ridiculous claims. Aren’t we not supposed to judge? Negativity has no place here.
Oh look! Another self righteous Prot who condemns something she has no knowledge of. It’s always amazing they think they know my faith better than me yet they know nothing and don’t care to. They just want to spew hate. How Christian of you.
Maybe you just had a kundalini awakening
I can't tell if this is a serious comment or not...
Was a joke lol
Joking
Hahah ok good. Hard to tell with some of these comments on the internet these days 😂
New age is a trap it’s garbage
You need a real career and family
Working on it.
Exactly!!! I noticed the most stable people have a 9 to 5 professionals career, family, church. TH-cam propaganda of new age coaches sells you the false dream of being a digital nomad, influencer, not working a real job, no family, fake freedom.
So you had your fun and are finding whats important for you. Great. Now you're a part of a cult.
So... from the frying pan to the fire? You really think you're better off in one cult vs another?
