The Tabernacle of Moses vs yoga Kundalini possession seeking the Crown.
People of God believe it or not, the entry point or sections Tabernacle are 7.
The Tabernacle of Moses: The Original Plan of God
The tabernacle was God's dwelling place on Earth, constructed according to specific divine instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25–27, 36–40). It had three primary sections:
-
The Outer Court
-
The Holy Place
-
The Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies)
Each of these parts had spiritual significance and represented different levels of intimacy and access to God.
1. The Outer Court (The Gates)
-
Purpose: This was the first area of the tabernacle that anyone could access, but it was still separated from the inner parts by a curtain or gate.
-
Symbolism: The Outer Court represents the beginning of a relationship with God, where one comes with repentance, offering, and sacrifice. It points to Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, whose sacrifice allows entrance into the presence of God.
-
Key Feature: The altar of burnt offering (representing the cross of Christ), where sacrifices for sin were made.
Counterfeit in Yoga:
The Outer Court can be compared to the initial stages of yoga, where practitioners focus on the physical postures (asanas) and breathing exercises. These practices may seem harmless or beneficial but focus only on the body and mind, without leading to true spiritual connection or transformation. Yoga at this level focuses on the physical realm, just like the outer court focuses on external sacrifices—but without the true redemption provided by Christ’s sacrifice. It is self-effort rather than divine intervention.
-
Symbolic Deception: Yoga in this realm may be seen as an attempt to connect with the divine, but without true repentance or surrender to God. It offers an entry into spiritual practices but does not lead to genuine spiritual transformation.
2. The Holy Place
-
Purpose: This is the second part of the tabernacle, accessed only by priests. It was the place where rituals were performed, including the showbread, golden lampstand, and altar of incense. It was a more intimate space where God's presence was more deeply felt, but still not in the fullness of the Most Holy Place.
-
Symbolism: The Holy Place represents deeper spiritual practices, where one enters into fellowship with God. The showbread symbolizes communion with God, the golden lampstand (Menorah) symbolizes the light of God’s revelation, and the altar of incense represents the prayers of the saints ascending to God. These all point to Jesus Christ—the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, and our Mediator.
Counterfeit in Yoga:
The Holy Place corresponds to deeper levels in yoga, particularly the practices that move beyond physical postures into pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. In these practices, yoga practitioners might aim for enlightenment, inner peace, or connection with the divine through their own efforts and spiritual exercises. However, without the mediatorship of Christ and the Holy Spirit, these practices are open to deception, as they do not bring the individual into true relationship with the God of the Bible.
-
Symbolic Deception: The meditations and breathing exercises in yoga can often lead practitioners into altered states of consciousness, where they may begin to open their hearts and minds to spiritual forces that are not from God. The prayers of incense in the Bible symbolize intercession to God through Christ, but in yoga, the focus may become an attempt to reach a higher consciousness on one’s own—seeking self-enlightenment instead of God's revelation.
3. The Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies)
-
Purpose: The Most Holy Place was the innermost and most sacred part of the tabernacle. It contained the Ark of the Covenant, where the presence of God dwelled. Only the high priest could enter here, and even then, only once a year on the Day of Atonement to offer blood for the sins of the people. This was the most intimate communion with God.
-
Symbolism: The Most Holy Place points to the perfect union of man with God—Jesus Christ being the ultimate High Priest who made way for all believers to have direct access to God through His sacrifice.
Counterfeit in Yoga:
In yoga, the equivalent of the Most Holy Place would be the deepest meditative state or the Kundalini awakening—where practitioners seek to achieve union with the divine through their own spiritual efforts. The Kundalini is often viewed as a powerful spiritual force that, when awakened, leads to enlightenment and spiritual realization. However, without the Holy Spirit and Christ's redemption, this deep experience is a counterfeit attempt to access higher spiritual realms.
-
The Mercy Seat for Satan: In yoga, the Kundalini energy that is said to rise through the chakras is often described as a snake-like force that enters the body and "awakens" the individual spiritually. This is spiritually dangerous because the practices that open these gateways invite forces that are not of God, leading to spiritual possession or oppression. In this context, the mercy seat, which was meant to be a place of divine atonement and reconciliation with God, is distorted into a seat of demonic control or possession.
How Satan Gets Hold of the Soul: The Highest Entity Enters the Temple of God (the Body)
The temple in the Bible is the body of the believer (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and it is meant to be a place where God dwells. When someone practices yoga—especially practices that involve meditation, chakra work, or Kundalini awakening—they open themselves to spiritual forces that seek to infiltrate the body.
-
The Enemy’s Entry: Through practices that involve altered states of consciousness and mindfulness techniques, the individual becomes vulnerable to spiritual forces. The opening of chakras, especially the crown chakra, is a way of inviting spiritual entities to enter deeper into the individual. Kundalini awakening is one of the most dangerous elements because it is said to unleash spiritual powers that are not from God. Once these energies are activated, they can deeply influence the individual’s mind, emotions, and will, drawing them away from the true knowledge of God and towards spiritual deception.
-
The False Mercy Seat: In the Holy of Holies, God's presence was meant to dwell, but when yoga practices open the gateways to these spiritual forces, the mercy seat of God is replaced by a seat for Satan—a place where demonic spirits may come in and take control. This becomes spiritual deception at its deepest level. These practices don’t lead to peace or divine communion but to the distortion of God’s intended path to salvation.
What Happens When a Person Allows the Highest Entity to Enter the Chambers of the Temple (the Body)?
-
Demonic Possession/Influence: When a person practices these forms of yoga and opens themselves to these spiritual forces, they may experience spiritual oppression or even possession. This is because they have given legal ground to demonic entities through their actions, which is why discernment is crucial.
-
Deception and Spiritual Blindness: The individual may be led to believe that they are gaining enlightenment or union with the divine, but in reality, they are being deceived into opening their heart and soul to spiritual forces that lead them away from God. The spirit of antichrist works through these deceptions, attempting to counterfeit true communion with God.
-
Spiritual Stagnation: Yoga, particularly in its more esoteric forms, leads individuals to focus on self, self-empowerment, and human effort rather than relying on the grace of God and the work of the Holy Spirit. This focus on the self can cause the individual to grow spiritually stagnant, unable to move forward in true spiritual transformation.
Conclusion:
The tabernacle of Moses provides a clear blueprint for how God intends to have a relationship with humanity, beginning with sacrifice and leading to intimate communion. However, Satan has sought to counterfeit this divine plan through practices like yoga, which lead individuals down a path of spiritual self-reliance and false enlightenment. By opening the gates of their own body (the temple) to spiritual forces through practices like chakra awakening, people may inadvertently invite demonic entities into their lives.
It’s crucial to understand that the temple of God was meant to house the Spirit of God, and we are called to be temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). When people turn to practices like yoga that open them up to false spiritual powers, they invite spiritual forces that can deeply affect their minds, bodies, and souls. The counterfeit mercy seat is the place where demonic entities seek to sit and establish control, stealing the rightful place of Jesus Christ, who alone is worthy of the seat of authority in the believer's life.
