I want to know what defines the New Age movement...it carries such a negative connotation with so many people, but what is New Age? In the late seventies New Age was a very progressive spiritual movement that people were proud to be associated with, especially for someone like myself who was living in Oklahoma surrounded by a bunch of bible thumper's running scared of the devil.
Either your into religion, which separates us from God by placing him up in the sky constantly looking down at you in judgment mode. Or, your into spirituality which unites God within us, as a co-creator in our reality....basically it's metaphysics which is simply where religion and science meet in the middle to agree on how Life works.
There are differing shades of New movement. You have the fluffy thought people who still have a lot to learn about how concepts like The Secret work, or the realistic side to it. At some point reality will knock them off that pedestal and that's when your spirituality is really tested, it can be easy to lose faith and fall, or you learn and evolve. Those that evolve get to where some of us are someday...it's a learning process and it took me awhile and I sure got knocked off hard. So don't be so judgmental about the fluffy people with their head in the clouds, they're on a path towards the same Light as the rest of us.
Besides, I would rather associate myself with the new age movement than religion any day, too many horrific things have been done in the name of Christ (he's appalled)...somehow religion took the darker path.
We are also and the end of a major cycle of Life on Earth and a New Age has been dawning for some time now, from what I'm perceiving WE are the second coming...
Now if that aint New Age what is
?!
