| Fact Sheet: Agasha Temple of WisdomThe Agasha Temple of Wisdom is a religious group that has its concentration more or less in the Los Angeles or West Hills, California area. There are essential doctrines that this small religious group teaches that are false and in the spirit of Truth we will demonstrate this by reviewing it’s official website at http://www.agasha.org/. The last review of this website was on December 19th, 2001 and to date, the website has not change it’s content. If there are any updates to the website, do notify this author. However remember this point: just because the official website have made some changes in it’s content doesn’t mean that the refutation against the Agasha Temple’s belief presented here is no longer valid! The Agasha Temple’s belief, if it remains the same, has been refuted here. If for some reason the Agasha Temple changed it’s belief system, then they still have the problems of being inconsistent, if not contradictory. Pantheism“We teach you that the creative life force in the universe is the ‘I AM’ within each, not a singular individual set apart, but each one of you, and myself for that matter.” If all of us are gods, we’re pretty powerless and rather not like gods since we’re unable to do anything much amazing considering the fact that we supposedly created the universe. Ego Or Not
“We teach you to remove yourself from the mortal confines of the monster within you, the ego.” We must remove our ego yet the Agasha Temple of Wisdom fails to remove
their own ego when they assert in their own rule for the “universal
understanding of God consciousness” the egotistical term of “I”.
The phrase “I” indicates the ego existence of a person and here the
Agasha Temple of Wisdom, which denounce ego, starts all five of its rule with
“I” and the presumption of an ego! Time's Non-ExistenceHave you ever been late to work or had someone arriving late to an event you hosted? Supposedly in the Agasha’s belief system, “all time is only but existent within the individual mind and sphere of existence of that particular individual.” However, the Agasha Temple have it wrong here, time is not something in subjective existence but real, objective and beyond one’s imagination! How time could ONLY exist within a particular person (let us say, you) and yet live in a world of schedules and appointments (both run on time and involves others beyond the particular individual) that would prove to be impossible if the Agasha’s view were correct. No Individual Is Singular?
In the Agasha’s
Temple’s belief, “no individual is singular”, meaning there are no such
thing as an existing individual. Yet
Agasha Temple of Wisdom now have a problematic inconsistency with it’s belief:
If the Agasha Temple of Wisdom also admit to the existence of singular
individual, then this is pretty damaging to the truth claims of their religion.
See the above paragraph on time’s non-existence for an example of where they
mention the existence of a singular individual. Mind Power
“We teach you that as you live your life, so shall you expect those things to come unto you.” Here, the Agasha Temple of Wisdom is teaching that the things you expect would come unto you! But how true is that always? There are times throughout life that one expects something and it doesn’t “come unto you”. An example: the fact that Agasha Temple of Wisdom can be refuted, something a zealous member might not expect. Karma
“We teach you the laws of Karma.” Karma is the cycle of what one does whether good or bad, that comes around and return either to haunt you or reward you later in life. Yet, from the paragraph above concerning mind power, supposedly what one expects, one receives. The doctrine of Karma is heavily influenced by the doctrine of reincarnation. Reincarnation
The Agasha Temple of Wisdom also teaches
reincarnation as the website obviously states, “We teach you reincarnation is
a necessity, not a luxury.” Since
reincarnation is a necessity in the Temple’s belief, to refute it would be
very damaging to the Agasha Temple of Wisdom.
For a treatment of reincarnation, go to http://geocities.com/cobraview/html/Reincarnation.htm. Conclusion
The Agasha Temple of Wisdom is no temple of wisdom at all, but one with lies and absurdities. Get out of it and come to Jesus, who is the truth and the way. May God open your eyes with what you have read here. --Jimmy Li [Last edited December 18, 2001] |
