RE: Untangling New Age 'Spiritual' Confusion: "What You Resist Persists"

in #philosophy6 years ago

I believe that our world, technically advanced, but spiritually hungry, experiences a deep disillusionment with the well-being that does not erase its poverty, the freedom that does not remove its slavery and the science that does not clear its deep uncertainty.

About thirty years ago, a cultural / philosophical / religious wave has been forming that aims to react against the present state of humanity and to push humanity towards a new consciousness.

The ideas and objectives of the New Age include elements of Eastern religions, spiritualism, alternative therapies, transpersonal psychology, deep ecology, astrology, Gnosticism and other currents. He mixes them and markets them in a thousand ways, proclaiming the beginning of a new era for humanity.

Sort:  

There are valid and good things about the "New Age" movement, but lots of false understanding as well.
