New Age Spirituality
First, it is important to understand that New Age is a type of philosophy, not a religion or “a belief system”. The philosophy is quite easy to sum up; the idea is that each individual forms their own world view based on any information available to them; be it personal experience, intuition, science, spirituality, psychology or anything else they can base on opinion on. Now, this leads to the problem of everyone being free to both learn and teach, but the problem is also an advantage. With no internal hierarchy, dogma, or doctrine, the truth cannot be kept away from people who are open to accepting it (whatever is blocking them from accepting the truth) and each individual is responsible for the wellbeing of their own psyche; with each individual their own highest authority, they cannot blame anyone else for being misguided or mistaught – if they understand the basis of New Age to begin with.
New Age IS NOT about Eastern religions or astrology, and New Age is also not about believing in fairies – although all of these ideas belong to the “any source of information available to them”, but so are fairytales and fictional movies (that sometimes do offer helful information to be honest) but a New Age spiritualist must know how to tell the difference between information worth accepting as truthful and when to disgard it; we are all curators of our own minds; what to allow in and what to keep out.
Many New Age philosophers are still very attached to the authoritarian or dogmatic world view, and they regard all information that is presented as a fact or the truth to be just that, although this is rarely the case by my experience; “spiritual truth” is rarely that, and when several “spiritual truths” collide there is an untruth in there somewhere. Two mutually exclusive truths cannot exist in the world simultaneously without an explanation why they should exist at the same time. Alternate reality? Flaw in the separation between parallel universes? You see what I mean? For example; if a soul can split, do the two halves create a male and female or another copy of the original soul? Or, if we are all a split of One Source, then, what are True Emotion Mirrors, and what makes them more ourselves than another soul?
As a New Age spiritualist, your task is to answer this question: “What do I believe to be true?”
