"The Devil Made Me Do It" web article by Diane Hawkins
“The devil made me do it,” is a statement often used in a joking fashion to evade personal responsibility for a particular unsavory deed. While few take it seriously, the expression raises a legitimate question about just what Satan and his cohorts can do in and through a person’s life. Some people are quick to attribute any ungodly thought or action to him while others feel that he can only have an impact on those he truly “possesses,” a condition usually relegated to pagan cultures. An even more controversial issue is how much influence, if any, Satan can have on a Christian.

Yoga-Relaxation or Occult? web article Adapted by Linda Fimbres

Yoga is a path for transcending the ordinary mind (who you think you are) in order to merge with your "higher SELF" or "God SELF." Yoga means "to yoke" -- to yoke with Brahman (i.e., the "Infinite," the "Universal Spirit," the impersonal force that the Hindus call "God") via the realization of an altered state of consciousness, thereby theoretically releasing oneself from the bondage of endless reincarnation.
