The New Age Movement Defined.

3 posts in this topic

'The new age movement is a spiritual and socio-economic movement that seeks to create a spirituality that is not confined by dogmas or borders, a spirituality that is inclusive and pluralistic.  It seeks to create unity within humanity by extracting the seeds of truth (taking the best) from all cultures, all philosophies, all religions as well as all non-religious based philosophies such as science, self-help and psychology.  It seeks to combine those truths into the purest, most in-alignment way of life that the world has yet seen.  It seeks to decrease suffering and create unity on a social and cultural level as well, in accordance with the spiritual truths of this universe.'

Sounds about right- in a broad sense.

The definition contains "it seeks" a lot- isn't the true movement you're mentioning here more responsive to an already present struggle consciousness has, which is to know itself? Or something along those lines.

But perhaps a way of saying that really there's no agenda for the movement would be in place. Nobody can "join the movement" in a sense, because then immediately we deal with ideology- and we shallt remember: "Do not be ideological". :P

@Seed New Age is stage green. Most of them are not as open as you think. They’re buttons are very easily pushed. This is easy to see if you’ve watched Louis Theroux’s Altered States where he offended and triggered many stage green ‘new agers’ simply by asking them a few questions. 

 


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie
