When some one becomes spiritually awake, it is because they where triggered by something that caught their attention and moved them enough to decide to make a change
 Quoting: DoubleHelix


I wonder if this "trigger" had anything to do with the endless amounts of TV/Cinema/Music/Education programming that has been shoved down every generation of childrens' throats for the past forty years or so.

We all thought it was grassroots counter-culture for the longest time.. a spontaneous mass creative event.

Turns out it was mostly psychological/military social engineering operations. That's how the New Age Religion became mainstream in the 60's 70's 80's.

If this is news to anyone, check out Laurel Canyon for an introduction.

It's partly true. But also, in other countries, in other cultures, people get their attention caught by other things that are not related to all this (religion VS new age) and also become spiritually awake.

Could it be that this process is more universal and independent from human influence? I believe so.

Was the "new-age" label exploited to transmit beliefs into people experiencing spiritual awakening? I believe so.


I find it interesting that no one tried to answer my most thought-provoking so far, like this one:


Who would benefit the most from the belief that a "new-age" of peace and understanding will come, ushered by an external astrological or supernatural force?

Who would benefit from the fact that people who will wait for that new-age to come would be less likely to force change by themselves?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14708200


Good questions.

Bringing in the New Age religion is ultimately destroying the belief in the one God, and the absolute qualities of Right vs. Wrong. New Age religion opens the door to beliefs like 'anything that makes people feel good is good' .. This is a huge transition from living by God's rules.

Remember, just a few centuries ago, people who believed in God were willing to die en mass rather than live against God's word. PEOPLE LIKE THIS ARE VERY HARD TO CONTROL. Yes they can be fooled into thinking they're doing an act for God, but in general they have a very strict value system that they adhere to. This is why mass media's been chipping away at these beliefs 24/7 for about a century now.

If belief in God was a desirable control mechanism, it would not be CONSTANTLY attacked and neglected in popular media.

New Age Religion, on the other hand, the moral value system is completely relative. If something can be portrayed as 'spiritual ascension' or whatever then followers will flock to it. So the social engineers can basically play Fill in the Blank.. Technology / Globalism / Communism, etc. As long as they make it sound nice and fluffy and a move towards "world peace" or whatever.

I have never come across anyone in the "new age" movement that believed "anything that makes people feel good is good" most often what is taught is you reap or suffer for the consequences of your behavior. Perhaps you should read up on the philosophy of karma.

Please explain to me what you have against world peace. Isn't that what every Miss American wants?
