The New Age Movement
The New Age Movement
New Age – a paradigm shift for the Divine Consciousness and universal philosophy
The New Age Movement (NAM) is a revival of spiritual and divine values and can be called as a Divine Regeneration Movement. New Age Philosophy has conquered the West intellectually and Western culture is experiencing a phenomenal shift – sociological, spiritual and ideological. It is secular and multi-cultural, multi-religious synthesis of Eastern mystical philosophies, mainly Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Western occultism, emphasizing the holism, the doctrine that reality is organically one (now taught in American universities after Einstein's theory of relativity).
Behind the evolution of the species, there is an evolution of consciousness. The purpose of life is self-realization, to evolve with the level of consciousness unit, defined as the state number 7 of consciousness in transcendental philosophy.
The social disruption caused by the Vietnam War, the threat posed AIDS, the disillusionment with materialistic ideas and the erosion of trust in morality and ethics brought a sense of futility and meaning within the West psyche.The Western system of chemotherapy and side effects of antibiotics, sedatives and certain other drugs and disillusionment with the promises of science and technology has caused millions of turn to Oriental philosophies, occult practices and treatment systems. (Interest in alternative medicine developed to such an extent that now are more than 180 systems of alternative medicine.
Exhibitors New Age philosophy in Europe and America include Transcendentalists like Emerson and Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Wordsworth, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), and Theosophy introduced by Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831 – 1891) philosopher and Colonel Olcott and Annie Besant. As the world witnessed a revolution of consciousness, transcendental meditation, yoga, Zen, Carlos Castano, the Beatles, Holistic Medicine (both Western and Ayurveda), Tantra, Astrology (both Western and Vedic) all became popular.
There 6 million new Age sites on the Web and the NAM consists of a network of massive and organized thousands of groups, trusts, foundations, clubs, lodges and spiritual groups whose goal and purpose is to prepare the world to enter the next era Aquarius. (The Age of Aquarius). In astrological symbolism, Aquarius, Pisces represents spirituality rationality. The Age of Pisces, the age of information and communication Cybernetics revolution, followed by a period of revolution of consciousness or a spiritual revolution, the Age of Aquarius.
Some organizations New Age: New Age California Caucus, New World Alliance, World Goodwill, the Church Universal and Triumphant, The Theosophical Society, Amnesty International, Zero Population Growth, the Forum, Planetary Initiative for the world we want, the Club of Rome, the Church Universal and Triumphant, Christian Science and Unity School of Christianity.
New Age believes in the essential goodness of man and the divine spark in man and the New Age movement is not a unified belief and religious practice, although their rooted in Vedic philosophy. There is no central authority, no official leader, no headquarters, nor his list, but rather a network of groups working towards world peace and universal love. There are millions of fans around the world in various New Age practices and the world is moving from Chaos (disorder) Cosmos (end)! This is a phase transition entropy (disorder) to Order!
Significant influence is gained by the movement that affects almost all areas of culture West, sociology, psychology, medicine, government, ecology, science, arts, education, business, media, entertainment, sports, and even the Church. Organized spiritual forms such as Christian Science, Unity and even forms of Witchcraft (from the German 'Wicca' meaning the Wise, technical witchcraft means of wise men) are all its expressions. Seminars on different potential, Transcendental Meditation, meditation Zen and other alternative practices Holistic Medicine are also its manifold manifestations.
Some new publications and magazines are popular in New It was Age Journal, the Z Files, Clarity, Body Mind Spirit, Yoga Journal, Gnosis, East West, Noetic Sciences, the objectives of the Millennium Being and Omega. The new trend people now see everything in terms of New Age
The main objective of the New Age movement is to prepare man to enter the Aquarian Age and bring peace world in a world already scarred. "Everything is wrong with the world," said Shaw and some of the other objectives of the NAM are to establish a new world order in the fields of the economy and government. The idea of world government has been proposed by Bernard Shaw earlier and was directed by Mahesh Yogi and occurs in the writings of the Apostle founded the Movement New Age, Alice Bailey.

Mystic Ward defined reality as "the inside and inside and inside and inside." Another mystic describes as "that is hidden, is hidden is hidden. For the mystical evolution of the self is the means and by changing ourselves and the correction that we can change others. The main objectives of the movement the world are preparing to receive the Divine Consciousness and to enter the age of Aquarius, thus establishing the New World Order.
New Age Philosophy believes that human evolution may be accelerated if the entire mass of humanity, at least among the right people. Human nature is perfectible, through an intensive process of purification and initiation.
The Movement of the New Age is secular and universally spread over the surface of the Earth's core focuses on the underlying philosophy and the occult Gnosticism. (Gnosticism ancient philosophy stating that Divine essence is the highest reality, and that autonomy the man is actually this essence. Behind the phenomenal world is the transcendent reality that intuition alone can see). It has a striking resemblance to religion HG Wells universal plan to take a day worldwide.
The six main characteristics of New Age thinking are: (1) All is unity, (2) All is Divine (3) Humanity is divine (4) A change in consciousness (5) All religions are one, and (6) Cosmic Evolutionary optimism.

Essentially meditative New Age Music is soothing to the soul. The music is not defined as food for the soul?

We can summarize that the term New Age is an innovative term derived from the mother of all sciences, Astrology, indicating that this land is subject to a transitional stage of evolution the age of Pisces to the scientism of the age of Aquarius The Divine Wisdom, Cosmic Consciousness, knowledge and love.
Since the New Age is a conglomeration of practices spiritual, let us analyze Basic principles of NAM
1. The divine origin of authority. New Agers do not claim any source of authority only for the inspiration divine. For the divine meaning in the beginning, the Divine Spark or the Self and not receive the auto shows in or be intuitive insights.
2. The Lord. — Since matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed, and the total energy in the universe is an absolute constant (universal), the Lord created the world, became the world. Monism "(" All is Unity ") Averre only one essence of the universe, everyone and everything that is part of that essence. Being a Be absolute and all these are your destinations. New Age vision of God as an impersonal force of life, consciousness or energy (eg, the "Star Wars Force ") mainly but they also believe in personal appearance, like the ocean (which is Formless) can take the form of an iceberg! Is averred that all human beings has a divine spark in him because all created beings are reflections of the divine idea. The eternal state is called by different terms, between different groups of New Era, which is God-consciousness, Universal Love, self-realization, the I Am, Higher Self, Brahman, Nirvana, etc.
2. The Savior, Jesus Christ. Consciousness Christ or God-consciousness is what the proponents of New Age through Christ. . In other words, Christ is a divine principle, rather than an individual, like Jesus. This idea of consciousness affirms that Jesus Christ was just one of the Christs, but he prepared to receive the Christ Consciousness (ie was a great teacher who attained Christ Consciousness), as did other prophets like Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed. New Agers believe Dr Paul Brunton, who said that Jesus spent 18 years in India absorbing the mysticism of India and has been initiated in the more esoteric doctrine.
3. Human Destiny. Man is the measure of all things and is more divine than the animals and therefore high the world depends on man. Clean the negative elements of the collective unconscious should be the goal of humanity. Once the negativity is cleansed of the collective unconscious, the positive energy shines man and the noble ideals of the New Age will be updated in the Age of Enlightenment. Since man is intrinsically divine and perfect, his problem is real ignorance of that fact. Gnosis means knowledge and experience salvation in the New Age is for man to be illuminated by this divine gnosis. New age groups offered various spiritual techniques to enable individuals, and finally the world to evolve in this unitive consciousness. These techniques include psychotechnologies May to reach altered states of consciousness – Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Zen, harmony, channeling (spirit guides), psychics, acupuncture, etc.
4. Ethical Opposites, Good & Evil – Believing in the Oriental philosophies, New Agers make the distinction between good and evil. All wickedness is weakness and Evil is imperfection. By trial and error, learn about what is good and what is bad for the world and we must move beyond dualities.
5. Reincarnation. New Agers believe in the concept of reincarnation is, the ancient Vedic philosophy through a long process of rebirths, man can eventually reach the divine perfection. They also teach the Universal Law of Karma – ((The Law of Cause and Effect (Every effect has a cause), The law of action and reaction, the law of retribution)) that what a man sows that will be harvested. It is also the doctrine of non-responsibility of God, the Self is not responsible and it is my experience that mental experiences bittersweet because of their own karma.
6.Salvation is the self and sin is ignorance – SSome theoreticians taught the concept original sin of man. New exhibitors Age teaching the concept of rights essential goodness. Instead of systems that emphasized the negative aspect of man and sin, New – Age highlights that every man is essentially God is a sin to call a sinner! However, New Agers speak of troublesome desires which are natural impulses that retard human development and away from the ego. Sin is merely ignorance of man's essential divinity. The atrophied spiritual consciousness of man in normal life ignorance of your God is sin. The law of conservation of energy that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, the Law of Conservation of Soul states that the soul can be neither created nor destroyed. Matter exists in 3 states, liquid, gaseous and solid and matter can not be created or destroyed. Nothing is becoming. Similarly, no life no physical birth begin to be. Simply enter the physical conditions and assumes physical form. He only suffered a parallel processing the conditions that existed in other conditions. The soul is reincarnated in different bodies in a continuous succession of lives. Good or bad karma earned in this life determine his future incarnation. Getting excited states must be our aim.There much different paths to the goal of divine perfection, and we must be tolerant of other paths.
The divine Aurobindo predicted that spiritual influences from India will trigger a spiritual world movement.There Mass Incarnations (many people divinely inspired) that will work for World Peace and Universal Love!
I saw cross the twilight of an era
The massive barrier of this world automatic
The sun-eyed children of a marvelous dawn
The architects of immortality
Bring the magic word, the mystic fire
Bearing Dionysian Cup of Joy!
The four systems of Philosophy which triggered the NAM are Hinduism, a product of 5000 years of development, Buddhism, around 560 BC C., Taoism, around 500 BC and Druidism, around 300 BC, the religion of the Celts, which extended into the Middle Ages.

An american documentary about Prophet Mohammed (pbuh)2/12
According to His Holiness Maharaj Sahab (1861-1907), the 3rd Spiritual Head of Radha Soami Faith, “during satyayuga,………..in consequence of their greater spirituality and of the high purity of their heart, had no difficulty in getting access at times into the astral planes and holding communion with the departed spirits.” (Source: Discourses on Radhasoami Faith). Greater Spirituality as mentioned above is linked to the size of pineal gland. In Satyauga pineal gland was highly developed but in Kaliyuga the pineal gland is a rudimentary (undeveloped) organ. This is downward evolution of humankind. We should ascertain the period taken from highly developed pineal gland to undeveloped pineal gland. This will determine the Age of Human Existence on this Earth Planet. Other arguments, as I think, will not help much.
In Bhagavad-Gita Lord SriKrishna says to Arjuna:
“I taught this immortal Yoga to Vivasvan (sun-god), Vivasvan conveyed it to Manu(his son), and Manu imparted it to (his son) Iksvaku. Thus transmitted to succession from father to son, Arjuna, this Yoga remained known to the Rajarisis (royal sages). It has however long since disappeared from this earth. The same ancient Yoga has this day been imparted to you by Me, because you are My devotee and friend, and also because this is a supreme secret”.
At this Arjuna said: You are of recent origin while the birth of Vivasvan dates back to remote antiquity. How, then, I am to believe that you taught this Yoga at the beginning of creation? Lord SriKrishna said: Arjuna, you and I have passed through many births. I remember them all, you do not remember.
1. Radha Soami Faith was founded by His Holiness Param Purush Puran Dhani Huzur Soamiji Maharaj on the prayer of His Holiness Huzur Maharaj who later on became second Spiritual Head of Radha Soami Faith. The prime object of the Radha Soami Faith is the emancipation of all Jeevas (Souls) i.e. to take the entire force of consciousness to its original abode. There is a tradition of succession of Gurus or Spiritual Adepts in Radha Soami Faith. I am one of them as is evident from the following facts or ….
“My most Revered Guru of my previous life His Holiness Maharaj Sahab, 3rd Spiritual Head of Radhasoami Faith had revealed this secret to me during trance like state.
HE told me, “Tum Sarkar Sahab Ho” (You are Sarkar Sahab). Sarkar Sahab was one of the most beloved disciple of His Holiness Maharj Sahab. Sarkar Sahab later on became Fourth Spiritual Head of Radhasoami Faith.
Since I don’t have any direct realization of it so I can not claim the extent of its correctness. But it seems to be correct. During my previous birth I wanted to sing the song of ‘Infinite’ (Agam Geet yeh gawan chahoon tumhri mauj nihara, mauj hoi to satguru soami karoon supanth vichara) but I could not do so then since I had to leave the mortal frame at a very early age. But through the unbounded Grace and Mercy of my most Revered Guru that desire of my past birth is being fulfilled now.”
