he dominating spiritual crisis
of our time is the pervasive
sway of strong delusion. Our
age has seen vast populations brought
under the power of mind-warping
deception—most of the time without
those affected even being aware of it.
Our challenge is to help them see
through the matrix of misbelief, proclaiming that the truth can set them
free just as it has in our own lives.
The pivotal work of the Great
Deceiver is, after all, DECEPTION, creating delusions that roll across the
Earth’s surface like vast thunderheads,
obscuring reality from millions. The
entangling spell of delusion is among
the most powerful of the forces predicted to come upon the earth as we
hurtle into the future.
To counter this formidable power,
SCP has been a great yet untapped
resource in our time. One observer
commented, “SCP is a group that for
years has been operating under the
radar while unmasking today’s most
virulent delusions and spins on the
truth. These unique and bright minds
have themselves escaped some of the
worst delusional traps of our age only
to come back as Christian converts
ready to expose them.”
One of the best graphic illustrations
of how a strong delusion is able to capture and deceive those under its sway
comes from the movie industry. It is
supremely ironic that the movie
industry itself is among the primary
sources of our prevailing delusions,
filling the public mind with every
alternative to the Christian worldview,
from alien visitations to reincarnation.

LETTER
From a YouTube comment on Tal Brooke’s
Whistleblower video on Sai Baba, recently
linked on SCP’s homepage:
Tal!! I just started reading your
books; starting with Avatar of Night and
I want you to know that you have really
changed my life. Your books have
turned me back to Christianity and the
truth of the Gospel which I didn’t really
understand until I began to read your
books. I always had my conscience
telling me something wasn’t right but I
just did not have the wisdom to put
everything together as you have.
Follow-up post to Tal:
I just wanted to thank you and tell
you what you already must know; your
wisdom has been responsible for turning men that will listen to the truth
instead of the great lie. I am currently
reading The Mystery of Death and I find
it fascinating. Like, you I have had
occult experiences in my life; events that
I cannot explain – knowing that this
realm is real and believing in moral
absolutes, how can one deny the divine?
Thanks again PLEASE put more videos
out!! Thank You!!!

Tal’s reply: “That email you sent me
was a real encouragement, one of those
rarities for authors like me that make it all
worthwhile. I will be in touch. Thanks for
taking the effort of getting back to me.
Keep growing in grace. —Godspeed, Tal
Brooke”
Tal,
Well, I just read your Journal
Article, Surviving Life in the Western
World. What a brilliant read :))
Emotional for me, even a lump in the
throat here and there. Reflecting on
the uncanny overlapping and parallels
in our lives.
Our Dad’s were both friends of
Adlai Stephenson. The Hurlingham for
you, London’s Commonwealth Club
for me. The role of Harrods, the
Serpentine in Hyde Park, all of
Kensington & Knightsbridge and then
New Delhi! I was printing Chakra
magazine a mere block from your publisher, Vikas, in Daryaganj—and then
both of us the sickest we’ve ever been
in our lives in India, on and on.
I particularly liked the contrasting of
opportunistic playboy agents and shallow publishers being upstaged by the
integrity of an Indian, another Kumar
(my co-publisher of the Delhi magazine was Virendra Kumar of Kumar
galleries).
And the Gandhian simplicity of the
South Indian missionaries, the “real
thing”, shepherds in a foreign land far
from the high society comforts and
compromises.
Someday we should do a nostalgia
tour of London together! Meanwhile,
My daughter Angelina is getting married here in Maui in a matter of weeks.
How time flies.

Danny,
I have almost finished with your new
book, excellent read, exceptionally well
written, moving and a fitting requiem
to our generation.

To Tal and Danny,
I just read the Christmas annual letter, and it was very moving. Tal, I feel
your sober concern, even anxiety.
Don’t worry Tal, God has seen your
faithfulness and your unwavering drive
to do His will and save lost souls. Your
reward will be great in heaven, and
your good deeds not unknown. You
have influenced more people than you
probably think, and don’t ever think
that you haven’t left a legacy for gener-
RS & ISSUES
ations to come. Imagine all the people
influenced by C.S. Lewis AFTER he
passed on. You have left the world
something, you helped start the awareness of what was going on in geo politics with When the World Will Be as One
(now updated as One World).
You were the first to really expose
from an insider point of view the
deception of these Hindu scam artists
calling themselves God and you are the
one that kept SCP on track when the
liberals tried to take it over in the 80’s.
You influence leaders, who then in
turn influence the flock. You were
designed for the top people, because
these leaders are the ones who have
influence on the masses. You are a
watchdog, sent by God to keep His
people pure. Always remember what
General Douglas MacArthur said, ‘Old
soldiers never die! They only, fade
away.’ Your influence, is bigger than
you understand and will outlive you.
You are a general in the Army of God
and don’t think that your influence is
over. You might get a call from Fox
News tomorrow, at any moment that
influence is there because of who you
are. It took a lot to get there, and not
everyone can recognize what and who
you are, but I do. I’m one of the smart
ones. For your service and leadership, I
salute you.
Cpl. C.M. Evans
(Note from Danny Aguirre: C.M.
Evans, whom I’ve known for years,
designed the cover for my new book
and filmed the YouTube video of Tal’s
Sai Baba testimony. Tal will tell you
this is too noble a description for who
he really is, but he appreciates any
encouragement he can get! That’s really what this is about.)
Danny Aguirre’s comment to Tal after
being copied the above e-mail by Evans, his
cover designer and long-time friend, was:
“Tal, this is a very powerful encour-
agement from Evans, and very true. It
appears that between the recent cell
phone recovery incident, the YouTube
comments from this guy on the web
getting saved after seeing our video,
and the prophetic words of C.M
Evans, the Lord is telling you that He
is with you, He loves you and values
you for who you are, and your faithfulness toward Him.” —Danny Aguirre
Tal,
Greetings from Santa Monica. Your
Christmas letter got me thinking. In
the end almost all of us are just like
children who can be turned by a song
or a shiny ornament. It is hard to
admit how the despair of these days
often prevails in light of the deception
and ignorance that continues to dominate in this world.
The sky is always blue and the sun
never fades away though it may linger
behind the clouds for just a moment.
The gospel is truly the sun breaking
through the clouds and I think SCP
does a great job of giving a balanced
view of reality. Thanks for staying at
the helm in the face of dark storms on
the horizon. Great work Captain!

itself by revealing the magician’s
secrets, operating behind the curtain
of deception. There could be no better example of this than The Matrix.
In the film, the entire world seems
to be operating normally. Life goes on
seamlessly as people go about their
daily affairs, flooding streets, sitting in
cafés, talking in restaurants and commuting between home and work.
But we soon sense something is terribly wrong. The few who have broken this illusion are trying to get
through to one man, “Neo,” by
manipulating the imagery of this artificially generated reality. Neo, the
hero, soon suspects there is something
going on beneath what he sees. As
those already awake try to get through
to him, things happen in his artificial
“world” that don’t make sense in that
world. One woman trying to reach
him walks straight up a wall and
across a ceiling after appearing in different contexts. Neo has already seen
this woman at a party, where she gives
him a wake-up pill, among numerous
SCP NEWSLETTER 36:2 4
efforts to break through to him. The
efforts have gotten his attention, and
he is ready to wake up to reality.
Opening his physical eyes for the
first time, Neo sees the very-real pod
in which he sits swimming in a kind of
amniotic fluid.
Neo looks off into the distance and
sees identical pods, as far as the eye
can see, in a terrible gray cavern with
machines overhead. He reaches
behind his head and feels a thick cable
plugged in that has been piping in the
illusory computer-generated world
within which he and countless millions have been immersed. This is
The Matrix.
He’s been living in an artificial
womb his whole life and has never left
it. The machines are harvesting the
living energy of countless humans in
similar wombs, all kept in thrall by the
same illusory world Neo had believed
was real. But all of that was just a
smokescreen, hiding the dark reality
he is just now waking up to.
In a staggering glimpse, Neo realizes his whole world has been computer-generated; it is an artificial reality
shared by millions through a massive
computer network. The illusion melts
away, revealing a grim reality. People
are no more than cultivated bio-units,
being used by the computer network.
They have no dignity or meaning in
this dark mechanical world.
Neo is among that fractional onein-a-million able to see things as they
really are. He learns from the others
who have been freed that the human
race is under a cyber-dictatorship,
which began after a global war in
which the machines won. This is a
shockingly hard reality to accept, but
one that offers a doorway to freedom.
Neo is no longer under this terrible
delusion, but freed at great cost. He
cannot return to life in the pod.
More-timid souls might want to crawl
back into their shells and not even
deal with it.
We are warned in biblical revelation
that as time speeds ahead to history’s
climax, strong delusion will capture
the world. It will even fall upon the
Church, perhaps with the kind of
power seen in The Matrix. We are
warned, “If it were possible, even the
very elect would be deceived”
(Matthew 24:24). Those are powerful
and alarming words.
Why do people have a resistance to
waking up? Because their world and
everything they thought they knew
changes drastically, while also leaving
them a moral imperative to reveal the
truth to others—and this can be costly. Many in our time don’t want to
have their lives interrupted or pay the
price, but would prefer to stay in their
pods, clinging to their piped-in “reality.”
Being awakened from under the
power of spiritual delusion is like an
alcoholic or drug addict being confronted by concerned family and
friends. The addict is usually the last
to see the problem and the last to
admit it. The most effective crisisintervention counselors are former
addicts who cannot be conned by
smooth talk and clever rationalizations. They know the landscape
because they have been there. They
can help break the terrible hold of
addiction if the person fully cooperates and truly wants to be freed. But
the addict has to pay a price for letting
go of something that has been the
very center of life for years. The
addict is fearful of what life would be
like without this familiar dependency.
Effectively exposing the various
delusions of our time has some similarities to successful crisis intervention
in which alcoholics and drug addicts
are freed. It requires the willingness of
the person to accept the truth and pay
the price. If they are unwilling, the
effort will be wasted.
In successful efforts, false beliefs of
those trapped in delusion melt away
before their very eyes as they
encounter the power of the Gospel.
SION ON EARTH
Dramatic Wake-Ups
That same kind of release has happened to all of us who have been
among SCP’s core staff. We have each
had wake-ups, some of them dramatic,
followed by conversion.
SCP’s president Tal Brooke, after
graduating from the University of
Virginia, left for India to follow the
Eastern mystical path all the way to
enlightenment. He spent two years in
Mysore State and Andhra Pradesh as
the top Western disciple of India’s
most powerful and illustrious godman.
Brooke describes this in his 400-page
account Avatar of Night.
Having grown up in an atheistic
home from boyhood on, Tal progressed through an array of occult and
mystical beliefs before finally taking
the leap to India. His conversion in a
South Indian hotel room brought him
a stunning awakening from a very
powerful spiritual delusion. His
understanding of reality shifted 180
degrees, and his life changed forever.
Tal Brooke left India with a mandate
to confront and expose this powerful
spiritual lie to any that would listen,
giving him a new purpose in life.
SCP’s founder, Brooks Alexander,
also grew up in an atheistic, liberal
home. He left the University of Texas
Law School to become immersed in
Eastern mysticism in the HaightAshbury scene (the front-line of San
Francisco’s psychedelic revolution),
Tal Brooke in India
meeting Timothy Leary, Alan Watts
and LSD-chemist A. Owsley Stanley
among other luminaries, before his
own conversion to Christianity. SCP
was born from the imperatives of that
transformation.
Another key resource has been Lee
Penn, who left Harvard University
with a Phi Beta Kappa key and high
honors, then plunged deeply into
atheism, Marxism and other collectivist beliefs. He too met Christ “on
the road.”
Released from scientism, Stuart
Cheff (Chevre) was in UC Berkeley’s
doctoral program in molecular biology under the renowned professor
Gunther Stent, pioneer molecular
biologist and neurobiologist. But one
day Stuart’s entire worldview of materialistic naturalism and the evolutionary paradigm melted away once he
saw the lie. Not long after Stuart’s
conversion, he joined SCP.
Escaping the Mainline Cults
Ed Schneider, SCP’s one-time business manager (and among the best
ever), was in UC Berkeley’s honors
philosophy program, having come out
of a background as a Jehovah’s
Witness child, ever on display by his
parents in a suit and bow tie, as they
went door to door handing out tracts.
Ed was converted by seeing what the
biblical texts meant on their own, free
of cultic manipulation. Monique
Carson, Ed’s future wife, was another
gifted Cal student who finished a
four-year undergraduate course in two
years, carrying 24 units a semester
with a 4.0 average while working 20
hours a week for SCP. Under Ed’s sincere and passionate witness for Christ,
answering her questions, Monique was
converted. She had been wrestling
with various forms of Postmodernism.
Monique soon joined the staff of SCP.
Next came along Josh Ong, also an
office manager, among the most gifted
and passionate SCP staffers ever. Josh
was a Cal Berkeley double major and
Brooks Alexander
came from a rare Chinese Mormon
background. Before his conversion in
high school, Josh was on the brink of
suicide—written up as “The Suicide
Option: When Life Has Lost
Meaning”, SCP’s Journal, Soul Traps of
Thought and Culture (2005).
Like some of SCP’s Cal Berkeley
staffers, Josh stayed on after graduation, marrying another gifted Cal
Student and SCP staffer, Marilyn Mai,
who was converted out of Chinese
Buddhism. Having flatlined her Math
SATs, scoring 800 in high school,
Marilyn came to Berkeley as a math
major but was converted and switched
majors. Marilyn held a very influential
Bible study for female UC Berkeley
students.
Josh was among several SCP staff
also at the head of UC Berkeley’s student evangelical consortium of ministries, from Campus Crusade to
InterVarsity and others, and he also
moderated the big meetings.
Both Josh and Marilyn Ong (pictured on the next page) have been in
greater Asia doing business consulting
while engaging in Christian outreach,
always staying in close touch with Tal,
who they visit whenever they return
to the States.
Meanwhile, many other SCP core
staffers could be mentioned. Their

goes that extra mile, making available
what is left (though it has become too
labor-intensive and costly to photocopy Journals that are out of print).
Our Journals are a gold mine and are
written at levels and at a depth found
nowhere else on Earth. Our writers,
from top universities, have far more
insight than mere researchers
because our writers have escaped the
very deceptions they are addressing.
Personal experience offers insight
found nowhere else. Some insiders
have branded SCP as having the
highest IQ of any ministry. No comment. We just try to use the gifts God
gave us.
● SCP’s Web site is able to reach the
world. We get orders from readers
around the world, from Asia to
Europe, and their e-mails show they
are often passionate about this gold
mine of SCP information they have
found. We are also hoping to have a
Web outreach in Spanish for Central
and South America. Our key articles
could make a huge difference if they
were available to these Spanishspeaking cultures, where the Church
seems to be rapidly growing—as the
inevitable deceptions crop up in their
midst.
● Another dimension of outreach
are the books associated with SCP
staffers,
starting
with
Jerry
Yamamoto in the 1980s. More
recently, SCP President Tal Brooke,
SCP founder Brooks Alexander and
SCP ACCESS Director and VP of
Operations Danny Aguirre have all
written timely books to add to this
outreach. Now and then we print letters from those who were converted
from the New Age, the occult,
Neopaganism, other religions or
some brand of humanism or atheism.
The list goes on.
● SCP has had interviews too

once featured SCP as the headliner
of its cover story on apologetics and
countercult organizations. SCP was
on the cover as well as the article’s

and Alexander at the mural near
People’s Park and Telegraph Avenue.
● In its earliest days, SCP crossed
the country in its own bus, exposing
the invasion of Eastern mysticism—
SCP
had
recently
exposed
Transcendental Meditation as disguised Hinduism—and capturing
imaginations, as Brooks Alexander,
Billy Squires, Jerry Yamamoto and
key staffers toured large cities and
small towns, speaking at conferences,
churches and before various groups.
Our first mailing list came out of this
one-time (and at times demanding)
national tour. Today, our speaking
ministry continues. Most recently,
Danny Aguirre spoke to hundreds at
New York City’s Union Square.
● And let’s not forget the ACCESS
Line. For over 25 years, SCP’s freeof-charge ACCESS telephone counseling line has reached innumerable
lives, rolling them over into an eternal destiny. Over these decades, tens
of thousands of calls have been
answered by SCP, people’s questions
and personal needs given wise counsel. Sometimes conversions have
taken place right then and there, as
those on the phone dedicate their
lives to Christ. Other times seeds
have been planted for conversions
down the road, and we may hear
about it years later. SCP is the only
major apologetics ministry that offers
telephone counseling. The only one!
But there is more to what
ACCESS has done than that. There
are people walking the Earth today
who otherwise might not be—their
lives at one time on the brink of suicide. That’s why they called us in
despair.
Some of these tragedies have been
averted and suicides prevented. What
kind of price tag does one put on this
effort?—one we do free of charge.
What if it was your son or daughter?
Yet SCP rarely mentions most of
these outcomes, to protect these
individuals’ identities and honor their
need for privacy—they don’t want to
be under a spotlight. Yet this is one
more outreach SCP does that is
never factored into our low subscription rates (recently raised from $25
to $35 domestic and from $35 to $45
foreign). But we are not in the moneymaking business or into moneyraising hoopla; that is why you never
get circulars or flyers from us asking
for money. We do not ask for money.
Nor do we schmooze big donors on
the golf course. It’s allowable, but I
can’t do it.
Most recently we have put up a
video link at the top of SCP’s web
page on the history of SCP (The
History of SCP On Youtube - Watch
Now). It will soon be updated from
Part I, to the full video. Should anyone be interested, you can email the
link to others. Turn up the sound and
have a look.
Meanwhile, I feel compelled to tell
you as “shareholders in SCP” what
your investment has done, and I can
tell you that it has gone a long, long
way. May it continue to for years to
come.

common thread is experiencing firsthand the alien terrain of our era’s
strongest delusions before being
freed by the Gospel.
We aren’t talking about dilettantes
skimming the surface, like so many
self-proclaimed “experts” who grew
up in sheltered homes, getting their
insights from the local library. Bless
them for their zeal, but “it takes
more than desire to be a neurosurgeon.” The Christian subculture is
filled with unvetted “authorities.”
High Aptitudes
SCP’s core staffers have been fullimmersion veterans with aptitudes
high enough for them to go to the
big-league universities. SCP has had
at least 7 staffers who have scored
perfect-1600 SATs, others have gotten at least one 800, and we’ve had
another staffer who scored a perfect
LSAT, getting directly into
Berkeley’s Boalt Law School’s doctoral law program. But the program
frustrated him, so he asked Tal if he
could come on board at SCP.
A few times in SCP’s history, all
core staff had at least Mensa-level
IQs (in one case, during Tal’s early
tenure as president, even the fellow
who ran the mailroom was in UC
Berkeley’s doctoral math program).
There has been also the occasional prodigy along the way. One day
Tal noticed a really young guy cleaning up at SCP, wanting a job. It was
Charlie Eads, who got into UC
Berkeley at 15, testing out of three
years of computer-engineering
courses and was already taking
senior-level courses as a freshman.
Yes, he could have hacked into
NORAD. Charlie became a games
developer, and stays in touch with
Tal.
Then there was Julian Jones, the
son of Peter and Rebecca Jones, who
also got into Berkeley at 15, spoke 7
languages and still maintains the
highest score of all
time at the Monterey
Defense Language
Institute, where he
stayed when he was
also a young GI while
at Cal.

A Brief History of SCP
S
ince 1973, the Spiritual Counterfeits Project [SCP] has been a frontline
apologetics organization confronting the occult, the cults, and the New Age
movement and explaining why they are making an impact on our society.
SCP was born from the counterculture of the turbulent ‘60s, as the first wave of
Christian conversion hit those who had left Christianity for Eastern mysticism.
Those who shaped SCP came to faith in the heat of that battle—the very battle
now facing the Church from which those in SCP had escaped.
SCP has become a Christian think-tank composed of people from top universities
who have spent years on various spiritual paths before becoming Christians. They
are considered some of the most gifted people in the field. Yet they know the final
arbiter of all issues is God’s revelation, which towers above all human learning and
experience. The heart of SCP’s ministry is spiritual discernment from personal
experience combined with mature biblical reflection and in-depth research.
SCP maintains an extensive library and files on cults, the occult, and “new religious movements.” SCP has over 6000 groups on file, which the New York City Library has assessed as the most complete collection of such materials in the United States. Time, ABC, and other major networks and newspapers quote us
about various movements & issues. SCP publishes newsletters and journals for a wide audience, both in America and
overseas. Those publications began in 1973 when SCP passed out tracts at guru Maharaji’s “Millennium ‘73” at the
Houston Astrodome. SCP’s broad exposure came as a result of a nationwide speaking tour in 1975, in which SCP traveled the country in its own bus.
SCP gained national prominence and respect after taking TM [Transcendental Meditation] to Federal Court and winning the case. SCP’s evidence on TM, much of it secret and previously unseen, exposed TM for what it was, a version
of Hinduism. David slew Goliath. The court banned TM from public schools across the country. As a result, the national media, including Time magazine, started to come to SCP for advice on the cults. SCP started growing into a national ministry and never looked back.
As early as 1975, SCP anticipated the New Age movement and the rise of spirit channeling and warned of these phenomena in its newsletters. Currently, the effects of those occult beliefs are inundating the media, the business world,
the school system, the family and the unwary Church. It is evident that Christians must become active and aware or
face rising opposition and further loss of ground in our society. SCP is dedicated to this important task of making
Christians aware. But it is equally dedicated to reaching nonbelievers lost in the maze. That task is mainly done through
crossover publications spearheaded by SCP’s Journals.
The award-winning SCP Journal (four times a First-Place EPA Award winner) is regarded by peers as unsurpassed in
the field of analyzing and discerning the inside workings of new spiritual trends. The Journals address the very latest
deceptions—New Age seminars entering the corporate world with increasingly sleek programs, Neopaganism, Anthony
Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Mystical & Wahhabi Islam, near-death experiences (NDE’s), Gaia, & Wicca on television
before uncritical millions, and the leap in today’s pop culture from vampires to Gaia. In the name of truth, sophisticated lies are fed to unwary people who live in and shape our world. What this means is that SCP’s mandate to communicate with our generation by creating crossover material is more vital than ever. It is a critical mission at a critical time.
SCP, grounded in conservative faith, is also an information broker and gives advice by telephone through its ACCESS
line (510-540-5767). Its journals and published materials are available for a minimum donation of $35.00 per year ($45
outside USA).

A Crossover Thriller Written for Adults.
➢
Make no mistake, Return of the Giants: A Dark Tale of the
Nephilim, by Robert T. Brooke, is a thriller that pulls no punches. The story is based on an IMAX-level dream the author had of a
horrifying recombinant DNA stealth
scientific project in the forests of
England. A fellow English journalist,
John Hills, just reviewed it on
Amazon: “Ragingly brilliant, riveting.
Couldn't put it down.”
Adrenaline junkies who love
thrillers have a rare treat in store,
while those too sensitive for the
shock levels of a Tom Clancy or
Stephen King should probably pass.
It could be just the thing for your
non-Christian friends as well as many
of you who can handle the heat. The
Nephilim are the ancient giants that
were destroyed in the Great Flood,
and endless speculation has surrounded their terrible powers. This
book explores these mysteries,
including a supernatural dimension.
Return of the Giants crosses some heavy terrain; from the dark
rituals and intrigue at Bohemian Grove (based on believable reports);
to underground scientific projects at Stanford; high drama at
Cambridge; to the shrouded New Forest region of my native England,
where the terrifying giants are harbored in a massive facility. Those
behind the “New World Order” are hovering in the shadows, a feast
for those able to read between-the-lines.
—Dan Wooding, ASSIST Ministries

SCP: OUR MISSION ON EARTH
continued from page 7
verted by SCP’s outreach and materials.
Below are a few of these letters that
have made our efforts worth it, often
as we have faced all sorts of discouragement that we have kept to ourselves.
• I’m an ex-New Ager. I was so
pleased to read something so wellresearched, so different in approach
and insight. It’s the strangest thing to
read something so well articulated and
come away agreeing with what’s been
said while thinking, That’s exactly what
I’ve been trying to say for ages but have
been unable to express so well. Such articles can only strengthen SCP’s apologetic arsenal and help equip believers
with some hands-on knowledge. —
Gerard Rackley, South Australia
• No one has the critique of false
religion nailed better than you. I
burned my books of magic in 1974. …
Work of yours was later instrumental
in my developing a coherent response
to my own occult thinking, as well as
that of others. — Peter B. James
• I come from a New Age background (astrology, Tarot cards). I was
saved in May of 2000, and, by the
Lord’s grace, when I asked for wisdom, came upon your Web site shortly thereafter. I have been an avid reader of your journals since then. I eagerly await them. I feel your Mission is
one of the most important of our
times. So many are deceived; it breaks
my heart. —Carol Palombo
• I appreciate your ministry so
much. In the past 8 years, you would
not believe the changes in our family’s
life because of the influence of SCP.
—Mrs. Gail Chang
• You literally opened my eyes
with the journal you sent (The Spirits
of The Age). It has explained many
mysteries I have grappled with over
the years. How easily we are [led]
astray is the most sobering thought I
have. —Karen Holliday
• I was born in India in a Hindu
SCP NEWSLETTER 36:2 14
family. I prayed to God for
discernment, and God
answered our prayer in the
form of an e-mail from Ravi
Zacharias Ministries, recommending Tal’s book Avatar of
Night. There it was, the
answer to our prayer. After
reading Tal’s book, I gave it
all to Jesus, and laid all my
burdens on Him. Since then,
I have read and re-read this
book. Tal, what you are
doing with SCP is amazing
and a blessing to many. —Soni, a converted Hindu
Most recently, at the very beginning of the mail section of this
newsletter we have yet another exciting conversion to report.
The Real Ghost-Busters
SCP has been predicting trends
such as channeling (mediumship) long
before they hit the mainstream. SCP
has produced a gold mine of insights
and information waiting to be discovered, winning a string of top journalistic EPA awards that organizations ten
times its size do not have.
Those who have stumbled across
SCP usually become ardent subscribers, often complaining about not
hearing of SCP earlier.
You can help us spread the word
about SCP through your church and
network of friends so it doesn’t all go
to waste!
What happens when you or someone you know discovers that a relative,
close friend or coworker has been
recently taken in by some occult bestseller or craze such as the Mayan
Calendar’s Predictions for 2012,
Neopaganism, alien encounters,
Wicca, Edgar Cayce, Near Death
Experiences, channeling, The Da Vinci
Code, The Celestine Prophecy, Neale
Donald Walsch’s Conversations With
God, or A Course in Miracles?
Do you really know what to say?
If you can’t answer with credible
insight, and offer pat answers instead,
your non-Christian friends will detect
this in a heartbeat and write you off
on the spot. Your brief opportunity
will have vanished like the mist in
midday. Such are the times we live in.
But we will say it again—now you
know who to call. SCP has had thousands of groups on file, and if you
check out our catalog you will find
SCP has written extensively on the
hottest topics besieging our culture in
the age we live in.
“The real Ghost-Busters on the
scene are found in Berkeley at SCP,
having come out of the fire themselves.”
Tell your friends that SCP can give
them the materials they need to reach
that relative, friend or coworker
caught in Deepak Chopra, Gaia,
UFOs or countless other spiritual
alternatives.
Tell them of SCP’s award-winning
Newsletters and Journals and they will
see why SCP has garnered an armload
of awards and maintained such a dedicated subscription base. It is a gold
mine of information that is exceptionally rare and uniquely relevant for our
time.
So spread the word and help this
unique ministry not just survive, but
move ahead to face the challenges and
expose the delusions that merely baffle
most ministries.

SCP NEWSLETTER and JOURNAL
Four Times a First-Place EPA Award Winner
SCP Journals are unsurpassed in the field
of analyzing and discerning the inside workings of new spiritual trends. SCP has 6000
groups on file, which the New York City
Library assesses as the most complete collection of such materials in the United
States. Time, ABC, and other major networks and newspapers quote us about various movements and issues.
SCP is a Christian think-tank composed of
people who have spent years on various
spiritual paths before becoming Christians.
This gives them insight and discernment. Yet
they know the final arbiter of all issues is
God’s revelation, which towers above all
human learning and experience. SCP has
some of the most gifted people in the field
who have learned that conservative orthodoxy is the only trustworthy path of analysis.
SCP Journals have addressed the very latest deceptions—New Age seminars entering
the corporate world with increasingly sleek
programs, Joseph Campbell’s mystical
teachings on television before uncritical
millions, and the leap in today’s pop culture
from ecology to Gaia. In the name of truth,
sophisticated lies are fed to unwary people
who live in and shape our world. Subscribe
today and you will see why we have such a
dedicated subscription base.
