About new agers and so on...

Another words...I do not regret any choices or anything I have learned in my life. Even if looking back now, I see the folly of my ways.

No that mentality does not hold.
A splinter in the mind that cause a person to harm others on purpose, comes from the parents neglect or hate for them self's, Physical or mental abuse is a spiral with no end, except if the individual does some soul searching, and in most cases the opposite happens because it just hurts too much.
The only way this world will be healed is forcing the victims to do serous soul searching, and forcing them to drop out of their hate bubble.
Yes the victims of this world can be the most evil.

I have a friend who lost his uncle to the scientolgy. He started to cut ties with his family, said they were misled, and gave all it's money to that sect.

I stand corrected.

A lot of what passes for religion and new age and such is really just the "mutual accommodation of self-need."

Some have the need to teach; others have the need to be taught.

Some have the need to lead; others have the need to be led.

They attract each other and develop a symbiotic relationship as each group needs the other to fulfill their own needs.

That is sad. Still...it was his choice. He is a concious adult. Choice...it is the key to the kingdom.

Very insightful and well said.

He was manipulated.

Read that book:
[link to www.amazon.com]

You'll see how easy it is to pull the strings of someone and make him act against it's will.

Then read about interrogation techniques and things like that. Isolating the victim from all external influences. Slowly but surely feed him "truth" to get his trust, then start implanting your manipulative ideas.


Where I live, it's against the law. Where you live, it's the "freedom of cult and expression".


It was NOT his choice. His only conscious choice was to open their door.

You may believe it's the will of the universe or his own or whatever. Not me. I believe we have responsibilities for others.

The children dying in Africa, is it their choice?

I distain New Age commercialism. But be careful with the wide brush you are using.

Living in the NE US, I'm aware of the people who lived here before the Europeans came with their diseases physical AND psychic. Studdying those people and their point of view has been valuable. Is that "New Age"?

Thousands of years of European history and learning was burned by the Christians. Is learning about what came before bad? For 10 thousand years Europeans worked with and new the natural forces of nature.
The West has divorced itself from nature--Christianity actually likened nature to "satan" and we have goods and ease like never before. But we need to turn that around if we are to survive long term. Is that "New Age"?
Eating locally? Buying locally manufactured goods? Buying less stuff that turns normal hormones into cancer causing chemicals? Getting 0ut and using your body before you die of diabetes? Wearing less synthetic clothing. Is that "New Age" and bad?

Be careful you are not just being a voice for the forces of atrophy and death.

It seems that most of what you see as bad in the "New Age" comes from the fact that Westerners are already programmed by Christianity to fear the natural world including the world inside you. They bring dualistic thinking into the equasion and make a mess of things via guilt, over analysis, gossip and the desire for power and authority.

Okay, off the topic of the original post, but seriously, any real mother would die for her kids. Any real mother has that unconditional love for her kids.

Nope, it's not new-age, hence the necessity to come up with a correct definition as I requested a few pages ago.

New-age does not have the monopoly for tribal spiritualities and ecological and sustainable behaviours.

The new-age movement has taken older and existing many things and incorporated them under it's name without asking them in the first place if that was ok.

Would shaman be OK to be called "new-agers"? Would ecologists be OK to be called "new-agers"?

The only thing that is very typical to new-age (but still shared with a few tribal beliefs), is the belief in a coming new age.

WORD Up ! ;D

ONE LOVE

What is christianity? Evangelical/baptist movement like in the US? The European protestants? The Catholics? The orthodox?

Most christians here are not afraid of nature nor the world inside, that is US christianism.

Catholicism is partly pagan, and Christian mystics like monks work on their inner universe.

WOOORD UP GUYS

+1 you've got : ))))))))))))))

Funny how places with enough food to support lots of children have massive birth declines, and places where there is nada food, they pop out babies like it was popcorn in a oven.
Ohh the irony

People are people at the end of the day, regardless of their higher and mightier 'beliefs' religious or not.
What I think I'm hearing OP say, under what appears to be self-correcting principles of being a better person you instead get a corrupt ego 'wearing' higher principles like a mask. Still shit inside, still corrupt.

I know a guy who took a retreat for 3 years, and when he came back his approach to corruption and frailties was softer and said he was, "not so bothered and more tolerant".

To me, nothing is more oppressive than fanatics attempting to impose their 'beliefs' on others. What they do to themselves is their business whatever the brand name.
If a person is corrupt that is their choice.
What looks like an ideal panacea that automatically corrects the innards of someone is an illusion. Like the size of a tallywacker it's all how you use it.

The guy in the vid is a sweet man. What might help his self consciousness is to realize people are too busy thinking about themselves to notice any flaw in him, and he's probably going for some kind of unattainable perfection in himself. He's just young still.. :)

LOL, bazooka. . .always wanted one of those.

p.s. left a note for you on your, "what changed your life?" thread.

i made it to page 3 and was surprised no one mentioned this...so i will.

When some one becomes spiritually awake, it is because they where triggered by something that caught their attention and moved them enough to decide to make a change from within and after that, things start to flow and you start to run into synchronicitys and seeing things for what they truly are. This is not...I repeat...NOT new age. But instead a rediscovery of who you/we truly are. When a label is added to anything, It is then out in the open to be controlled and scrutinized. You must become wary of anything that is labeled new age because it is most likely a trap set up to let you down. Especially if they are asking for money/energy. True wisdom comes from within and without outside influence. When you are unsure of something you must look inside yourself with a question, and if you are truly honest with yourself, you will find the answers you are looking for. This is nothing new and has been going on sense before any religion was ever thought of(to control).

Namaste my friends:)

Thank you. Totally share your views. I wish more people could speak up their truth like you did.

Funny how places with enough food to support lots of children have massive birth declines, and places where there is nada food, they pop out babies like it was popcorn in a oven.
Ohh the irony


You pretty much make my point:

I believe we have responsibilities for others.

In the case of your example, the parent have a responsibility for their children.

And if I see a friend that is about to fall into a trap, I believe it's my responsibility to help him, and that should be encouraged by the society and the laws.

"Labeling" is certainly a control mechanism. (aka type-casting, stereotyping, etc.)

About starcraft no.
I have military backpack, sleepingbag (+10;-40c), tent, an ax all what i need :D

And yes im into solar, wind and other green"" energy. Im only 24 but i know how to build houses, grow food and etc. Tryed everything in my life.

Gullible is most of America through the 60-70's. Ignorant are Americans to truths we didnt take the time to figure out in the past before we kept passing the bullshit from generation to generation. Now, look at us.

Well said.

Stay in yr belly whoever or whatever approaches you.

New Age is just a dramatic label for dramatic change.

Some people don't want anything to change *cough religitards cough*

Lol, come on. *religtards* want's fire to rain from the sky and being sucked to the sky just before.

How's that for a change.

What I find most interesting is this:

Who would it serve to implant a hope for change in people's mind.

"Don't do anything. Change will come. Be patient. Don't try to change things for yourself".

That's an interesting question to ask.

yhwhism is a belief system of stasisism.
proof that it is all a lie, . .
as if proof was needed.

until you've read the Edgar Cayce, Seth, Abraham-Hicks, Conversation with God, Gary Schwarts, Kubler-Ross Bruce Lipton (the list goes on) in their entirety, you would do well to not be so judgey about the New Age.. We all find enlightenment in our own way. Those who think they have all the answers are the most dangerous of our species..

+ very good words

people hate change. even the masochist has trouble changing his ways...

you would think that with the industrial revolution, advances in science, the internet and people freely traveling the globe, that would put an end to religious dogma. but we are still caught up in multi-god systems that only seek to annihilate each other or themselves. something isnt right...
