"Relativism is a legacy of the New Age. I think relativism is quite dangerous. I don't think the Truth requires our belief in it. Anyone can guess on the number of stars in the universe yet it will have no bearing on how many stars there are in the universe. There is a set number of stars and God knows what it is. Whatever "truth" we have about it doesn't change it."

Im sorry but using stereotypes when i talk to people is just something i cannot do.
I dislike using them and i dislike when people implement them into a conversation, the use stereotypes and generalisations just adds confusion and serves to seperate people into different groups which ultimitaly leads to a break down in communication.
When we label people we put them into a little box and lock them into a specific group which is entirely unspecific and wildely inacurate. And aside from that it is designed to rob people of their credibility and works in exactly the same way as religion does. People are using different language to describe the same thing.
There is no 'New age movement' There are just people learning about certain subjects that are deemed new to our current culture. To throw a generalisation around this completely robs it of its value and is akin to calling a man with long hair a rocker.
We can see how this works in school.
Jocks
Preps
Geeks
Grunge
Rockers
The list goes on and on and on.
I am everything. I like to listen to rock music while i play football. I enjoy broadening my inteligence whilst listening to Nirvana. I would feel very offended if someone branded me into a specific category.
The use of labels and generalisations just serves to seperate us and is something that we should have rid ourselves of a long long time ago.
Communication is much easier when people make an effort to be specific with what they are talking about. There is no specific group of people. There
are specific groups of subjects.. but you could not call someone who practices Astral Projection a shaman or a new ager, he is simply someone who practises some form of spiritual exercise along with many many other hobbies that can and most often are completely unrelated.
The powers that be
want you to use stereotypes because it is a form of divide and conquer and it works in exactly the same way as Religion does, a means to cause seperation, confusion, misunderstanding and disrespect. And most importantly a means of division.
excuse the length of this post, i went off on one there.
