What is New Age anyway?

 

¨       It's people taking responsibility for their own lives, not blaming others for their problems.

¨       It's people who deliberately decide to learn and grow.

¨       It's people who don't have to be right, except for themselves.

¨       It's people seeing problems as lessons, perhaps in a long series of lives and lessons.

¨       It's people who believe we are what we think we are, and can change ourselves by changing our thinking.

¨       It's people who feel they can change the world by changing themselves, not by trying to change others.

¨       It's people who search for strength from the universe by going inside themselves.

¨       It's people that recognize that love doesn't have to have conditions attached.

¨       It's people knowing and loving themselves in order to better know and love others.

¨       It's people who see others as not better nor less but rather different than themselves, yet part of the same whole.

¨       It's people that choose their own path rather than follow dogma.

¨       It's people honoring your right to your own path, not theirs.

¨       It's people who realize that now is all we have, since yesterday is just a thought and so is tomorrow.

¨       It's people interested in owning themselves rather than things.

¨       It's people who see joy in life rather than pain, having experienced enough pain already.

¨       It's people curious about extra sensory perception and all it implies.

¨       It's people in all walks of life, from business persons to flower essence healers, psychologists to UFO investigators.

¨       New Age is not a religion with a hierarchy of priests and rituals, seeking converts, though some new-agers choose some ritual.

¨       New Age is not often gloom-and-doomers, though many are concerned about ecology, the economy and other forces that affect our world.

¨       New Age is not a movement based on guilt, anger, fear, or hurt, it is a journey toward the love that is our god.

¨       New Age is not allegiance to one master; it is learning from many masters in the quest for the oneness of god [all that is].

¨       New Age could not become a cult because of what is said above.

¨         New Age is not just humans doing, it is humans being.
