The New Spirituality For the Age

The new spirituality for the age is a celebration of today's heart-centered consciousness. It promotes the expansion of human awareness to include unconditional love and acceptance of yourself and others, and the development of your infinite potential.

It is the journey of the soul on earth and is the awareness that everything in life is for a higher purpose. It is humanity's quest to understand itself and finds its symbology through the clarity and integrity of universal order.

New spirituality was the movement of the late 1980s characterized by an emphasis on the holistic view of body and mind, alternative (or complementary) medicines, personal growth therapies, and a loose mix of theosophy, ecology, oriental mysticism, and a belief in the dawning of an astrological age of peace and harmony.

The new spirituality holds that God is at once the entire universe, and transcends the universe as well. New agers know that God will draw you towards the thing you want and he will draw the thing you want towards you. God has precipitated a collision between His wisdom and the world's spurious wisdom (1 Cor 1-4).

Christ-Consciousness taught by New Agers is the state of awareness reached in meditation, in which one realizes that one is divine and one with God and thereby becoming a Christ or an enlightened being. Christ is the reference point for all reality.

New spirituality represents that Personal Transformation is a profoundly intense mystical experience and will lead to the acceptance and use of New Age beliefs and practices. Believers hope to develop new potentials within themselves: the ability to heal oneself and others, psychic powers, and a new understanding of the workings of the universe.

Meditation is practiced by all major world religions and is often described as an essential discipline for spiritual growth. Belief in astrology is common amongst New Agers, but definitely not limited to them.

New spirituality encompasses attainment of happiness, joy and peace. Peace education is a way to lead our children into a brighter future. This teaches that Love creates joyous living and that we are to love and be loved.

We are to love our brothers as we love ourselves. As love will transcend all problems and bring happiness and joy into our lives...if it is given as it should be given to all that you come in contact with. Love is also forgiveness. Forgiving yourself and others will release you to heaven on earth.

The mind must accept these concepts as true in order for them to become a reality in your life. If you can grasp the concept of love in your imagination and imagine yourself pouring out and exuding love to everyone you come in contact with in some way, you will receive the love of God.

The new spirituality teaches that if you believe in these things and can see them in your imagination, you will have a happy, joyous, fulfilling and abundant life. Jesus himself taught in this manner [of the mystic], making constant appeal to the imagination, and many of the devotional masters likewise encourage us in this way.

New spirituality leads you to find answers within yourself, not from others, allowing you to peel away the layers of a lifetime of conditioning from society, family, education and religion. And most importantly, the release of the illusions of the ego.

In contrast, Religion is often more focused on the transcendent, while the new spirituality seeks to relate to both the transcendent and the imminent -- seeking to bring the two together in consciousness; while remembering that all experiences are really Love's manifestations.
