No, I don't think so at all, in fact, quite gentle in light of the circumstances. Truth hurts and a big part of progress on the Path is culling fact from fiction, moving from crazy to sane. Without an inner teacher people babble the kind of crap coming out of the OP until someone tells them to "stop it."
babble only fools the fools... and exposes them.

Great post!
A friend and I studied meditation and spirit healing last year and at first I knew nothing about it but as we read more about it practiced it we became full on spiritualist! We are still learning I am looking into Crystals and how they have healing powers now its amazing what they can do.
If we teach every 8 year old how to meditate all the wars and hate would be abolished in one generation

Again thank you for this info.
Crystal healing is a pseudoscientific[1] alternative medicine technique that employs stones and crystals as healing tools.
The practitioner places crystals on different parts of the body, often corresponding to chakras, or places crystals around the body in an attempt to construct an "energy grid", which is purported to surround the client with healing energy.[2]
When the stones are placed in the area of the chakras, the colour of the stones may correspond to the colour which is said to be associated with the corresponding chakra. Going from the tail bone to the top of the head, the colours are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Stones may also be used at the feet in an attempt at grounding the individual, or held in the hands.[citation needed] Practitioners may also use tools such as crystal wands, which are placed near the receiver's body, or near a certain 'blocked' chakra, or use to perform psychic surgery, normally conducted with laser quartz wands.[citation needed]

I mean hey, I am all for positive thought, Universal law and getting in touch with your inner being or self, but it's kind of arrogant to assume that some kind of life changing event will happen during whoever's life time.
The Age of Aquarius is an astrological term denoting either the current or upcoming astrological age, depending on the method of calculation. Astrologers maintain that an astrological age is a product of the earth's slow precessional rotation and lasts for 2,150 years, on average. In popular culture in the United States, the Age of Aquarius refers to the advent of hippies and New Age movement in the 1960s and 1970s.
There are various methods of calculating the length of an astrological age. Unlike sun-sign astrology where the first sign is Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, whereupon the cycle returns to Aries and through the zodiacal signs again, astrological ages proceed in the opposite direction ("retrograde" in astronomy). Therefore, the Age of Aquarius follows the Age of Pisces.[1]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha What a joke. I encourage you on your Path but if you're serious about this stuff then you really need to get serious about it. There is much at stake (more than you know) and you are clearly delusional on nearly every level.

If I were you I'd learn how to shut my mouth... your Ego is working overtime to prove how little you know about the Spiritual Path (and how little progress you've made on it) and as one can see from most of the responses, all you've managed to do is attract other bottom fish along with their opinions.

k, now your just reacing and sending ignorance smh.

In my experience, individuals using as many words as you do are simply "fishing" and attempting to appear knowledgeable while covering their ignorance. In the "Enlightenment" game, if one can't say it in 25 words or less then there's no clear idea worth expressing.
Again I dont seek to be anything lol I am me I care for others so I share some things that help me to be strong. Look how many hollow words you presented to appear knowledgable or to dis info either way till wish you the best on your journey.

Once again I ask you... "what point(s) are you trying to make?" "What questions are you seeking to answer?" "What questions have you answered? Do you have any goals beyond your ridiculous assertion that you're helping people?
You really need to do something about your Ego. Get real.edit on 18-10-2012 by Brown Bear because: add context
your questions have all been responded to multiple times please read first instead of just posting rants.
NAMASTE*******

GOD AND THE DEVIL.
ONCE upon a time there was nothing; there was only the heaven above, and water beneath. Then God journeyed [in a boat] upon the water and saw a vast, vast crust of hard foam, on which sat the devil. God asked him: 'What art thou?' 'I will not converse with thee,' replied the wicked one, 'unless thou takest me into thy boat.'
God promised, and heard in reply: 'I'm the devil.' They both journeyed on without conversing together at all, till the devil began: 'How very nice and beautiful it would be, if there were firm land in the world l' 'There shall be,' answered God; 'go down into the depth of the sea and bring up a handful of sand; I will make the land from it. When thou descendest, and art about to take the sand, say these words: "I take thee in the name of God."'
The devil didn't wait long, but was immediately under the water. On the bottom he reached after the sand with both hands with these words: 'I take thee in my own name.' When he came up to the top he looked with curiosity at his closed fists, and was astonished at seeing that they were empty. But God, observing what had happened to him, consoled him, and told him to go down to the bottom once more.
He did so, and as soon as he began to grub into the sand in the deep, he said: 'I take thee in his name.' However, he brought up only as much sand, as could get under his nails; God took a little of the sand and firm land formed itself; but only as much as was required for a bed. When night came, God and the devil lay down side by side on the firm land to pass the night.
As soon as our Lord God fell asleep, the devil pushed him towards the east, in order that he might fall into the water and perish. In the direction in which he pushed him, there did it become land for a long way. The devil tried pushing him towards the west, and on that side the land extended far. A similar circumstance helped to form land also on the other sides of the world.
As soon as God had made the land, he ascended to heaven. The devil, not liking to stay without him, followed in his track. Now he heard how the angels praised God in hymns, and began to feel annoyed, that he had no one to
rejoice at his arrival.
He went up to God and whispered in his ear: 'What must I do, that I may have such a multitude?' God answered him: 'Wash thy hands and face, and sprinkle the water behind thee.' He did so, and there came into existence such a multitude of devils that the angels and saints no more had sufficient room in heaven.
God observed what an injury there was from this to his own. He summoned St. Ilya, and ordered him to let off a storm of thunder and lightning. Ilya was glad at this; he roared, thundered, and lightened with a tempest, and poured rain for forty days and nights, and along with the great rain the devils also fell from heaven on to the earth.
At last there were no more wicked ones, and angels also began to fall. Then God ordered Ilya to stop, and wherever any devil struck the ground at the time that he fell, there he remained. From that time to this bright little fires have darted about in heaven, and only now fall upon the earth.
