How do you let go of yourself? How do you find it meaningless to meditate and discover self?

Beliefs aint meaningless we all have beliefs, however they do become meaningless if we can never let go of old beliefs and make way for new ones. Sometimes we have to drop old beliefs completely and accept we got it wrong, but we would rather say "Well I will just add that bit to my old belief --- PROBLEM SOLVED" In the end we create just what we had in mind all along, this is why nothing changes.
Lets say I believe the moon is made of cheese, throughout all my life I am convinced in this theory so much so it's a huge part of my beliefs, I got a cheese god and everything. That's until one day scientist prove the moon is not made of cheese, all the scientific proof is there, I even get offered to go to the moon.
Now comes a time I need to change my beliefs "The moon is not made of cheese" but hang on that is going against everything I ever believed in "I would have to change my beliefs" I cannot do that, I believe the centre of the moon is made of cheese instead. This way nothing changes and I can still go about my old beliefs, if they tell me the centre of the moon is not made of cheese, then I believe it once was and they can never prove it.
Do you see the picture here? This is all the New Age has ever done.

"The environmental movement is being used as a cover to promote a return to the creed of the Ancient Mysteries, in the form of the worship of mother-nature, a pagan notion that equates the goddess with earth, known among the ancient Greeks as Gaia. Originally, she is the Babylonian Ishtar, known to the Bible as Astarte, or the Egyptian Isis. This pantheistic idea has its origins in ancient paganism, and is central to the Kabbalah and all Western occult tradition, including Freemasonry and the Illuminati. Plato wrote: "We shall affirm that the cosmos, more than anything else, resembles most closely that living Creature of which all other living creatures, severally or genetically, are portion; a living creature which is fairest of all and in ways most perfect." Known as Anima Mundi, the "Soul of the World", it is related to the concept of the Neoplatonists, the Logos, or the Word, also known as the "Son of God", or the ancient dying God"
It should be apparent to the reader that a `nexus` has been formed, connecting the major players in the push towards the One World Dictatorship, with the United Nations, The New Age Movement, and the `Greens` all interlocking at the top, with the `hidden hand` of the Illuminati pulling the strings in the background as the driving force moving us all inexorably towards the New World Order.

. And it seems you are claiming every one deceived and part of it except fundamentalist Christians.
No,I don't speak for everyone.
Until a short while ago,I was unaware of the occult influence behind alot of what is going on today,and I'm sure that others would be as surprised as I was!
As a Christian,I believe the Bible and what it says about Satan,etc...When I started to connect-the-dots,it really became clear just how and why things are the way they are,and what we can expect in the future.
It's like watching an evil drama play out before me. I am no longer perplexed or dismayed when I see what I see. My faith in God is stronger than ever.
I don't presume that everyone will see what I see,no matter how much "evidence" I present,even using the words of those behind the scenes who state their intentions and beliefs.
To some,the mere mention of the word "God" or the "Bible" turns them away,and I may be labeled as someone who is deceived,as well. That's to be expected.
All I'm asking is for people to make up their own minds. I am offering them an idea of what to look for.(It's hard to find something when you don't know what to look for!)
So,if anyone is inclined to search what I am talking about,they can,and I've given them a few starters.
Those who aren't inclined,won't. Or their minds are already made up.
Honestly,if those who think Lucifer is some kind,angelic being,and that's all they see,want to go on thinking that way,there's no way I could change their minds.
I,too,am interested in hearing what others say here,or I wouldn't have started this thread!
Thanks for commenting!
(Edit to say -I don't know why this overlapping continues! I'll figure it out eventually! Sorry for any confusion!)

When I read the bible I see the whole Good and Evil, Heaven and Hell as a state of mind. States of mind that both have the power to create. With the bible I think you need to understand the moral of the story "The message" not the story itself.
I see it this way, God experiences himself through us. This means we are God "All of us" there is no man in the sky looking down on us, and there is no Devil in the dark depths looking up at us. Understand we are the powers of creation, we are both good and evil. We really can create whatever we want, Good or Evil, it really depend on your state of mind. We are creating/manifesting things into our lives without even knowing it, we are doing it right now.
Everything that has ever happened in your life happened because you asked for it "Aware or not Aware"
So remember next time you say "Why did this happen to me" it's because you asked for it. So while most of you New Agers are constantly "wanting answers" think about what you create.... The Wanting for answers... Not the actually answers themselves... Now do you see why there is so much confusion on your journey.
If you accept you already have the answers, you will see them clearly.

Now I see where you're coming from. The US was early identified with the two horned beast of revelation 13. And that by eliminating or ignoring the constitution the US is instrumental in erecting the image of the first beast.
Revelation 9
9And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

I believe the author of the article is pointing out that people are following Luciferian principles,under the guise of "enlightenment",when in truth they are just doing exactly what Satan desires them to do,turn away from God.
