Comment:	1 Timothy 4:1-2 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. “Trance dance” involves middle eastern practices that is said to give spiritual awakening, emotional well-being and an inner journey not limited to our normal perceptions of time and space. Sometimes it involves the participants to be blindfolded and feel as if they are one with the world. It claims to place participants in a parallel reality where they “shape shift and become the animal spirit inside each of us”. Trance dance is not of our Lord--you are being deceived into following false eastern religions. Notice how with trance dance you are focusing on yourself and not glorifying the Lord. Satan wants you to focus on yourself and the world. By the way, did you know that we are not to love the world? 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
