I am sure the Bible does state that but which Bible?
The Old Testament, New Testament, Torah? Koran?
In any case, your typical left-winger or new-ager simply ignores the bible.
I am trying to use a somewhat rational argument to persuade them.
I think eventually, science will prove many that spiritual beliefs are true. Many things in the Bible will be proven out but not everything in the bible will be proven true. Additionally, there are heretical books left out of the bible that also contain some truth. If you want to better understand the origin of modern man, read the Book of Enoch. In it, you see that it was probably the "gods" and not God that modified our DNA in order to create a slave race of tool using hominoids.
What we all need to do is develop our spiritual antenna and our sense of right and wrong. Occasionally, when someone mis-uses the bible to fuel hate, we need to watch out for that. However, my main point is that spiritual disinformation coming from the entities within spiritual dimensions is potentially harmful.
Finally, anyone experimenting with "spirit molecules" in things like DMT or hallucinogenic mushroom needs to be in a good place with God before they dive in.
A strong foundation in Christian prayer is not a bad starting point. There is a lot of testimony on how people are protected from demonic entities after calling out for God's help.
Here is my favorite prayer that protects me from the terrors of the night. If you use it and believe it, you are likely to feel the power of God move through you.
“God I put myself under your protection.
As long as I have faith in you, no harm can come to me.”
Thank you for this. I've been recently 'activated' on my spiritual awakening (after, in retrospect having been called since my teens) and hearing other accounts from folks who have been on it longer is very inspiring and informative.
I will still use my discernment with all of it and intuit if it fits my truth, but so far a LOT of the common threads regarding our genetic biokind (WE ARE)+higher self (I AM) consciousness' appearing across many of our world's major religious texts to degrees.

I am working on achieving repose ("working" on not working; dispossessing myself of desire/noise of the senses/physical vessel) during meditation and am making tangible strides in my day to day living my life in a love-centered way and cannot wait to be met with more opportunities to share this with others because these 'tools' are truly available to anyone in our human family.
I don't mean to rant, though I don't have many opportunities to share my spiritual work and ideas with folks that even somewhat know that the answers are inward moreso than out (at least at first--most folks, I believe, never look inward their entire lives and live in ignorance of what they could be!)
The bible clearly states this
