Same-old-same-new (Colossians 3:1-4)

The many forms of theosophy, anthroposophy, and other variations of the New Age spirituality still offer a potent and heady mix to those seeking a spiritually more exotic than what they think they know as the traditional Christian Faith. ... The Church will always have to contend with those who falsely claim to offer a more "spiritual" approach. And its answer will always be the same — to reveal the ultimately earthbound nature of such "spiritualities" and our transcendence of them through our union with Christ. ¹
