Re: What Is New Age

 

Yeah! It's only new to the present day society. Much of the belief

systems that encompass the " new age " were forbidden to be practiced

and were shrouded in secrecy, Kundalini being one of them. This is

why many people K active and otherwise have a problem with someone

exposing and actively seeking the initial stages of enlightenment

that Kundalini brings because it still isn't " kosher " amongst those

who wish to perpetrate the exalted secrecy that has surrounded the

Kundalini for so many, many centuries.

 

The dark ages from about the sixth to the twelfth centuries saw an

expansion of sacred knowledge. In Europe the Catholic Heresies that

culminated in the destruction of the Cathars and the later formation

of the inquisition stifled much spiritual and personal improvement

beliefs and techniques under the guise of it being linked to a

Satanic form of worship.

 

So many ways and means of enlightenment were shunned and forgotten

and left to stagnate or completely disappear due to the fears

invoked by the people who wished to control the masses by funneling

all the belief systems into fewer and fewer areas of expression.

Over time in the European theater there was mainly a Christian

belief system that one could use to collect many young people in the

act of going to war hither and yon.

 

This clamp down on the spiritual systems of self improvement lasted

through the Elizabethan era into the Victorian and the Edwardian

eras as they affect the United States. Yet in other parts of the

globe people were still free to practice and move into areas of

enlightenment that the west was now abandoning.

 

Not to say that ALL methods were trampled and disappeared. The

Alchemists and the Masons and the Templars and some other groups did

much to preserve many of the Ancient Egyptian School teachings and

some other eastern teachings from destruction yet held them in

secret lest a current ruler decide to obliterate the system as an

excuse to hold onto power. Roselyn house in Scotland is a good

example of this.

 

Wasn't until the early part of the twentieth century with Madam

Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons and Mathers, Edgar

Cayce and many others including the Golden Dawn Society and the

Priory of Sion that many of these beliefs and techniques made their

way back into the mass consciousness of society.

 

And even with that it took more efforts by Shirley McClain and some

of the more contemporary (meaning in the last thirty years)

practitioners of channeling and OOB explorers and authors Like Ruth

Montgomery, Robert Monroe and William Buhlman, and many others

before this took hold of those seeking a more expansive and

expressive and a less rigid structure of belief than a " typical "

Christian church could provide.

 

Not saying you can't get there through Christianity the

many " Saints " prove that you can. They gave it different names and

reasons for the process to be given and received and applied it to

Christian themes. Just saying that Christianity doesn't work

for " everyone " and this is evidenced by the many belief systems that

are present in the world today.

 

The " New Age " is a release from secrecy and control of sacred

information that can propel a person into states of consciousness,

that for centuries were forbidden to know about let alone practice.

This is where the " new " part of it comes into play. It is Old

knowledge made new by its absence for so long - until now. - my

take - chrism
