If we're going to get through this, we have pull together as a humanity, not as individuals claiming to be different than each other. Stop all the judgment and just accept what is happening. Don't try to call it something. Don't try to explain it. Accept what is happening.

It is not in danger of becoming a religion. It IS a religion, or more correctly a cult.
The thing that it lacks ? Affirmative action.

MG, I u2ued you with an experiment I performed the other day, Calling on an ET. It worked. Have you tried it? If it is repeatable, then we know it is time to step up to the next level of non governmental/military connections.
Let the experience, the connection be with benevolents, welcome them, ask for their direction, friendship and guidance.

This is a cult in the classical sense:
An instance of great veneration of a person, IDEAL, or THING, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers.
It lacks worship so therefore it as I said it fails to be a religion...yet.

I would not go that far. A cult has a leader who is always very charasmatic but very manipulative. A cult usually recruits and then holds its members through fear and mind control methods. A cult usually has a ritual at its centre, it usually gets you to loose your self identity by taking you away from society, changing your name and altering your natural belief system. Cult members usually meet in secret and in extreme cases all live together in secret buildings away from all eyes. A cult takes your mind away from you and replaces it with the mind of the cult leader. Cult members are unable to think for themselves as all questions they have they feel only the cult leader can have the answers to, TOTAL dependancy is formed on their leader. Members feel if they were to ever leave they might actually die or some harm come to them. Members feel without the "love and help" from their beloved cult leader they would be unable to function. I dont see this with the Starseed movement.
A cult most definatly needs a leader.
Who is the leader of this starseed cult? What is their ritual ? What is the cults main recruitment method? I think this is more like a belief that is in danger of becoming a new age religion but I dont think its a cult yet.

How is it an Obstacle to Spiritual Enlightenment?
It is mostly based on fear, and relies very much on attachment, which as Eckhart Tolle explains in The Power of Now and A New Earth, is the identification with form. Andrew Cohen, spiritual teacher and pioneer of evolutionary enlightenment, also describes the enlightened perspective as being the absolute, universal and impersonal view of the Authentic Self, as opposed to the relative, separate and personal view of the narcissistic ego. Ego is the deeply ingrained, compulsive need to remain separate and superior at all times, in all places, under all circumstances. Cohen labels it the anti-evolutionary force, and with reason. Surely ego has a purpose, but how close are we to transcending, or ascending to the realm of enlightened and universal consciousness?
