I have very little concern about New Age believes, but I can tell there trouble. As far as im concerned, New Age has little steam in it engine to be
actually "ATTACKED".
Every label is the steam to empower the engine for conflict.
The identification with concepts divide.
Only when it is seen that all concepts arise in the non conceptual will there be peace.
You know I'm really familiar with "everything is one" concept, and the whole world peace idea.
But it get down to the point where it becomes, "Who gives a s*it!" aspect. Which I have a feeling might save the world one day, cause everyone get
tired of fighting, slaughters, blah blah...Cause they eventually realize, they got bigger problems.
If people want to be insecure and try to popularize their identities, then let them be foolish, they only want try to satisfy their swollen egos. As
for others, identity can become a very important part in ones spiritual path, but it how they accept themselves for who they are(certain restrictions
apply, don't get me started).
And this why celebrities get attacked so much, because it all publicity, "All Eyez on Them", so they can make their identities more known. Ever
noticed the more desperate ones, are always in trouble?
See the problem with New Age, is it origins are heavily, and I mean "HEAVILY" cult based. Like "Heavens Gate", Charles Mansion, Branch Dividians and
others. These seem to be the pioneers of this new modern cult believe, even though it is now more of an internet fan base now.
Really, if you can't accept people for being who they want to be, or being diverse for that, then it rather sounds boring then. This is where New age
fails. The so called banning of one identity, to believe in nothingness for all their life.
While traditions such a Buddhism accepts the ego, but teaches one how to be discipline, or understand their mind, body, and spirit, to try to go
beyond such a limitation. Even though they probably will break a stick or two over your head for a few months, but hey that's the reason they been
around for so long.
