So after my earlier unburdening, i stumbled across this astounding blog.

I would recommend you read in order:

False Shepherds: The Spiritually Inept Leading the Masses

Part of the problem of dealing with new age ideas is being able to deconstruct the disinformation. I am a christian, yet i cannot move without some or other misguided "Christian" label being applied. To show how wrong and misguided i am. In fact, almost any religion suffers the same fate at the hands of gods of the new age, that is, ourselves.

Here is an excellent look at a handful of of new age leaders, and exactly why they are misleading people en masse. A few ideas in common with all of them, such as you are God, you create reality, and that will be $100 please. The crux comes when you consider a half truth as a lie, since all of these leaders appear on the surface to have a new way to achieve happiness/etc, extolling a method by which you can escape the drudgery of your existance. (as an aside, isn't it wonderful how it is assumed you're a miserable worthless wreck ???[who needs to be saved!!])

What all of our current social fashions encourage, is personal egotism, and loss of all traditional values, including the existance of any and all "gods". It may seem a semantic, but there is a vast difference between enjoying creation AS a creation of God, and seeing it as God. It is only the gift, not truly representative of the giver. Only an insight, perhaps.

Why does society wish me to have affairs, climb the corporate ladder (at the expense of my family), have a divorce when things are no longer "happy", and even encourage my kids to have "safe sex". These things all have a common goal: to remove me as far as possible from my family, the health of which is my EXPLICIT responsibility, and away from God, our creators goal for us being here.

Again, the christian view sounds archaic, childlike, misguided perhaps. But why oh why in the midst of this chaos and pain around me, would i embrace it, sure that only more misery would follow???

Surely if you are lost, you try retrace your steps, to a place where you were surer of things? Haring further off into a direction you KNOW has led you astray so far is not only dangerous, but entirely illogical. Yet that is what is being asked of us all. The further we get from God, the more we place ourselves at centre. The more we place ourselves at centre, the more dysfunctional our world becomes. So the answer that is given us, in this dysfunctional time? Make yourself God, that'll fix it!!

And it's hard to see through this. Because we are so almost God it's frightening. Yet we are NOT God, we are man. Rather pathetic man in these days. So far from anything like we could, should be. No great minds and hearts in our age, only petty people living petty meaningless lives of gossip and shiny things.

To return to the source, not build our own brave new world. There's a novel idea?
