Default Re: If New Age is evil deception, what is the alternative?

Nothing is good nor bad till thinking makes it so.
Think Shakespeare said that.

Dont think there is really a definative description of what newage is.

For myself I trust what Jesus Krishna the Budahh said.
No self no problem.
Concepts, conditioning, the works.
When all these are let go of what are you left with?
The pure self.
The pure self dosent create difficulties for self or others, it lives with others nature and life in harmony.

The moment we call ourselves somthing ie New age, Christian, Spiritual, Athiest, in fact any label we create division.
Its ok to practise any faith or non faith, thats a function, and should be honoured, its not who we are though.

Identification with anything other than self is an illusion and leads to division and therfore judgment. I am right therfore you are wrong.
Division has caused all of the wars strife trouble in the world.

If a so called new ager says our lot will lead you to peace and harmony then automatically there will be others who disagree.
Disagreement is ok-- being disagreeable is somthing else.
If we dont buy into/ identify with the group concept then we can proceed harmoniously.
No group on its own can bring peace and harmony or we would have it by now.
We have to go back to a time ( not literalily) before the apple on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Judging others seems to me to be the problem.
The enlightened ones are in a state of oneness, non-duality they know.
