Universal Mind Prayer is Not Christian

College of Learning often used this prayer at dinners and energy class.

"Guarded we are one energy, one strength, one universal mind (soul, heart, conscience), from the pure white light of Christ, nothing but good will go from us, nothing but good will come from us. In the name of Jesus let us (let this) be granted, Amen."

It is a weird conflagration of several Bible quotes, but is not in fact from any Bible reference!

The concept of the 'Universal Mind' goes back to the trippy 60s works of a cult that was combining Taoism and Buddhism with other religions. It was also quoted by the Rev. Moon, and L Ron Hubbard.

It couldn't be Biblical by just cobbling together parts from Leviticus, Matthew, and John.

Many passages invoke the pure light of God, but only a few times, light of Christ.

They cannot be 'one soul, mind and strength' as that sounds kind of like the Pentecost, but it's not. It implies God is not involved, when in the Pentecost, the Holy Spirit in Acts came down upon all of them and make them speak in tongues. This is not what the quote means in the COL version.

Nothing but good will come from us, nothing but good will go from us. What does that mean subjectively?

It seems a weird mis remembering of 'The Catholic Creed' and the 'Apostle's Creed' and a little of 'The Lord's Prayer'.

Also note that Lucifer was also bringer of light.

By having them apparently channel that they're a universal being, they are in fact idolizing something other that God. Just invoking the name of Christ might in that concept be blasphemous, or at least, hypocrisy.

They have mixed this up with new age mumbo jumbo.

"Pure white light of God"
"Nothing but good with comm to us."
"In the name of Jahova let this be granted."

EDIT: This post from 2019 was updated by our sites on another site and concludes she got it from the Bible and the Universal Church of the Moonies. Ha.
