The New Age Movement

Okay, I must say I have been finding a lot of faults with the so-called new agers. Consistently, I am being told that they are open-minded and tolerant. I must wholeheartedly disagree.

The question of emotion…

For instance, one of the things I keep running into is that one should suppress their anger and not let “negativity” control their lives. Okay, yes…I can understand how negativity is not the best thing in the world. I concede that. But what the hell is with suppressing emotions? Can we honestly have a dialogue if one party is judging you for being angry? If one supposedly tolerant individual has already closed their mind off to the reality of life?

Anger is a part of human nature. To deny it exists denies the very essence of humanity. I cannot condone this. I get angry, I get depressed; if you claim that this is a bad thing, you are denying humanity itself. Philosophers have argued this for centuries, the basic human nature.

There is a balance. You have love, and you have hate…and a gray area. Within this cycle are waning and waxing characteristics that do not define us as individuals. They are merely characteristics. To judge a person based on characteristics is disingenuous and dishonorable.

The “New World”

I keep hearing about this new world that is supposed to come about, where so-called enlightened souls will ascend. So what happens to the rest of the people? Does some evil entity leave them behind, place them in a hell? How does this differ significantly from organized religion? This question has never been answered when I press the question. Okay, you ascend. The earth becomes a heaven. What happens to the souls of the unenlightened? It is amazing, when you think about it. This philosophy does not differ from the rest of the control systems, in my opinion.

“Enlightenment”

What the hell does this mean? Sounds rather elitist, in my opinion…which does NOT bother me in the least, mind you, but it bothers me that people push tolerance down your throat while claiming to be more enlightened. Guess what, folks…it isn’t tolerance. Not in the least. I always find it amusing to see people say we are all the same and then talk about enlightenment. News flash…we are not all the same. There are some that have some talents, others that do not. This is humanity. I accept it. Stephen Hawking is a hell of a lot smarter than me that is for sure!

End result

This little rambling will probably tick a lot of people off. It is implied that there is a grand secret out there that others are not privy to, and only those with advanced knowledge can obtain it. Be a warrior of thought, get angry, and embrace your emotions! In the end, this movement is no better or worse than any other system on earth. The difference is that I can accept that!

Is this hell, or what?

I question things often. I question reality, I question time, I question physics, I question our media. One thing I have been questioning a lot lately has been whether or not earth could be hell.

Try to take Bible-thumping out of it. You know I do not play that game…

Maybe not hell, per se, but a sort of purgatory…a waiting place where we gain experience prior to learning true serenity and love. The experiences we are learning do not seem to be offering true lessons. On a mass scale, and on personal scales, we seem to be repeating the same cycles over and over again. The good, the true, the noble, the honorable…those things do not seem to be important. A great evil has infecting this pale blue dot, an evil that has permeated our very souls. We are paying the price, in what way, I am unsure.

So, are we living in a hell? A purgatory? A place to learn our lesson? The veil has been lifting for some time now, to what goal? As I said, I am full of questions that I do not know the answers to. I do know that things and situations have drastically changed.

I know that this earth is beauty, so before you condemn me for not seeing the beauty in this world, take that thought out of your mind. That is not the case. I see that beauty, the light in an animal’s eyes, the beauty of a forest in a winter landscape with the wind ripping through my soul. I feel that and I experience that. The problem is…many do not see that. That is the issue here. Evil wishes to destroy that beauty for gain.

Perhaps, at the next stop in our galaxy, we will fully know and appreciate. Until then, we must mire through our own purgatory.

Studies: Those With Higher IQ’s Tend Not To Believe In God

Professor Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University, said many more members of the “intellectual elite” considered themselves atheists than the national average. A decline in religious observance over the last century was directly linked to a rise in average intelligence, he claimed. …

A survey of Royal Society fellows found that only 3.3 per cent believed in God – at a time when 68.5 per cent of the general UK population described themselves as believers. A separate poll in the 90s found only seven per cent of members of the American National Academy of Sciences believed in God. Professor Lynn said most primary school children believed in God, but as they entered adolescence – and their intelligence increased – many started to have doubts. He told Times Higher Education magazine: “Why should fewer academics believe in God than the general population? I believe it is simply a matter of the IQ. Academics have higher IQs than the general population. Several Gallup poll studies of the general population have shown that those with higher IQs tend not to believe in God.” He said religious belief had declined across 137 developed nations in the 20th century at the same time as people became more intelligent.
