Welcome to Law of Attraction Money!

August 21, 2009

You have come to LawofAttractionMoney.net for a reason.  I’m not sure exactly what it is, but that is not important because YOU do.  We all have our own unique reasons for wanting to use the Law of Attraction to manifest money, wealth and abundance in our lives.

Some people desire money because they power, respect and admiration.  Others seek it as a tool to provide for themselves and their loved ones.  And still others use it as a tool to do more good in the world through education, donations and different philantrhophic projects.

I created this blog as a means to track and record my own personal journey in using the Law of Attraction for Money, Wealth and Abundance and by doing so provide timely advice based on my personal experience to others who are looking to raise their vibration in these areas.

We all are a part of a unified field of energy and it is my intension to help improve the lives of others through the insights and lessons that I’ve learned through my use of the Law of attraction money and my experiences with affirmations, consciousness and manifesting.

You Are Infite – Live Abundantly!

 

Your imagination is your preview
of life’s coming attractions.

How to be an Interesting Conversationalist with a Woman

March 18, 2010

Women are sick of boring conversations with men. They have had the same one over and over and over. If you can be different, you will stand out hugely, and quickly generate attraction. To be an interesting conversationalist you just need to follow a few simple rules:

1. Avoid hairdresser conversation

What kind of conversation do you have with a hairdresser, person in the post office queue, your aunt who you see once every 6 months? It is probably boring, shallow, and what I like to call conversation on rails. When we meet someone new, they say what do you do, where are you from, do you like films etc etc. We hate answering these questions over and over, yet we ask them of others. For attractive women who get approached regularly, the issue is even bigger.

2. Dont interview her

Many women are approached and immediately put on the spot and asked to answer a series of questions. The mans only response to her answers is usually oh really, so. This quickly gets boring and any woman that puts up for this for long must either be really attracted to you or very very polite.

Dont ask a series of questions. Ask one, and connect on the point then ask another. For advanced level skills, try to elicit the answer without asking the boring question make an assumption or guess about what she does, where she is from, or what food she likes. You get the same information but it is more interesting for her.

3. Dont say the obvious

If a girl has pretty eyes, she has probably heard it 500 times. Find something more specific to her, preferably not about her appearance, or dont say anything at all. It is fine to give an obvious compliment with feeling when you are already together but in the early stages it is not what she wants.

4. Have interesting answers to standard questions

There are certain questions and conversational paths that occur again and again for each person. Think about what yours are, and make your input more interesting. If a conversation gets boring because the girl starts asking boring questions, she wont remember it was her fault, she will just know she is bored!

5. Talk with passion

If you can talk with passion about things you care about, it draws people in. If you enjoy something, let it show, be expressive, use visual and emotive language. People get caught up in it and start to feel good too. When they feel good, they will want to talk to you more.

Do these things and you will be much more interesting, not just with women, but with everyone. Because most people dont follow these rules, it will be easy to stand out.

Out of the Matrix. the Key to the One. the Secret of Ex-is-tence

March 18, 2010

The material presented herein is to be read very slowly. Most of it originates from very deep levels of Mind. Pause when you feel the need to do so when something seems a bit obscure, and meditate on it. All we easily reveal itself. It is meant to.

The Universal Mind (The IS: Eternal Intelligence-Awareness) always tries to teach its entities of thought about Its reality and their purpose, through the medium of creative inspiration. However if, because of the resistance and creative misconceptions that mankind introduces, the perception is that this cannot be achieved within illusory frameworks of time and space, which defines periods within Creations, then these particular Creations just disappear and are devibrated in the swirling of the real Black Hole of the Mind.

We are nearing such a crossroad in this Creation.

Most human entities spend their “waking” lives hypnotized by their sensory world, which gives them the illusion of a material reality “out there.”

In reality, space and time are really nonexistent both at the level of Pure Aware Consciousness, and also at the level of the unaware “blind parts” that experience for It the illusion of creative thought within an illusory space/time construct called Creation.

Mankind rarely realizes that life is but a sensory illusion that gives experience and learning to Thought, and that the only reality is Thought Itself, which is forever evolving.

Consciousness can be defined as Awareness projected onto a vibratory Dream. Period. For Space/Time Creation it is but pure Dark lesser vibratory (conscious and subconscious) thought interacting more or less intensely with the inner Holographic Light/Thought Reality originating through the facets of The MATRIX (”Deep” of Genesis 1: 2).

BEING means BE-IN-God. Not the reverse, which is impossible.

Our purpose in life is BE-IN-G, RE-MEMBER-ING, and ultimately EN-JOY-ING the Godliness.

To be HAPPY and smile at our inner Higher Self.

The only real Space there is, is the mental Space within the DreamSpace (Imag-in-ation) of the Mind of God. The only real Time there is, is the pace of the evolvement of God’s Awareness within Its Dream through the media of Vibratory Light, as God projects Its Consciousness onto Its own Vibratory Dream (The Matrix).

The Matrix of life is projected and connected to each perceptual individual consciousness through a Thought/Supercomputer (The Matrix) that interacts with its sensory input/output individual computer (brain).

The Matrix is really a field of pure information, not energy. It underlies and structures all energetic processes. As such it cannot yet be detected by our instruments. It is really the realm of the mythic ether (implicate realm) that physicists know should exist but has not yet been experimentally detected.

Consciousness provides the energy of life.

Original Consciousness has an unfathomable number of connections to the General Thought/Supercomputer. Each connection will be projected for a perceptual lifetime into a story/creation thinking that it is a particular character experiencing a particular life, surrounded by particular entities and reality within an illusory space/time Holographic Virtual Reality. The Creation and the individual will be given a certain history of linearly coherent perceptual history and a sense of possible probable futures.

All we are is but wonder-full Holograms of pure light, interfacing with Creative thought, who believe in a material reality because our senses fool us, by the rules of The Matrix, The Matrix reloaded, into perceiving that a solid world exists “out there.” Where, in reality, none of the sort is real. No Real solid ever existed, exists, nor will ever exist. We cannot go through a wall because we are not allowed to do so, by the original rules of the computerized thinking Matrix ruled by Original Thought: Infinite Intelligence Itself. The wall is hollow, we are all hollow. Light is but hollow. This is all it can be. All the rest is a Grand Illusion created by the Original Mind!

The construct to The Matrix of life is pure light and the modulating factor is information/thought. As a matter of fact all light is, is vibratory thought. like what we create when we dream. Vibratory light is light vibrated by sound, manifesting as the material/biological world as it is decoded by our brains.

Each connection of Original Consciousness (Awareness) is therefore projected into an individual Holographic Virtual Reality world which the General Thought Supercomputer will coordinate with other connections of Awareness/Thought that interact with the same virtual reality movie (Creation). The ultimate Cosmic virtual reality sensory video game played by the One Mind!

Life is but the Eternal (Original Awareness-Consciousness) experiencing the temporal realm, for learning purposes.

Each grouping of connections (perceptual consciousnesses) that connects to a shared general story will define a separate Universe/Creation.

There are myriads of such Universes/Creations operating simultaneously within Original Consciousness, up to a potential infinity.

Each one can have a totally different construct of operational rules, and system of creative input/output (Matrices). Many operate within visual (Space/Time) realities of many models and creative dimensions. Others operate within other sensory realms, or even as pure abstract thought.

Original Awareness is the One that fashions all these multiple systems of Creation. It IS totally unlimited in scope of intelligence and potential Awareness. It is only through tremendous restriction of Its Awareness, Intelligence and Capabilities, that It can experience surprises within the trip of the return of Its parts to the total realization of being Original Awareness.

This is the only evolution that really is and operates. This is the impetus/direction and creative force of the Universe. The return of the parts of the IS (children) to the IS (Original Father/Mother). Anything that impedes this natural flow, must ultimately be intervened upon.

Our Universe is composed of extremely restricted Awarenesses (consciousnesses). It is considered to be a very experimental and dangerous Creation because within its original concept the degree of induced amnesia is maximum, the intentionally created and forever evolving misconceptions intense, and the degree of very High (closer to Original Awareness) intervention very rare, often undetected, and few-in between. So far.

In this Universe, the Creative challenge to evolve is very high and difficult. It is therefore considered to be a very high school of learning for the Mind in Its desire to ever evolve Itself into higher expressions of Itself.

Original Awareness is always aware of all of its parts plugged into the Virtual Reality Game of Life called Creation. No matter how perceptually restricted they are. It knows that they are but Itself. All of them. Without any exception.

Certain parts of Original Awareness plug into the awareness of a whole creation and its sub-parts at once (and the sub-parts hence become direct children of their awareness/consciousness) and can therefore be considered to have either a passive role (witnessing/monitoring) and/or often an active Creational input (intervention) at the level of a whole creation. They can be called the Creator/Creators of a particular Universe (The Matrix operators), or the Overseer(s), depending on how active their role is.

Higher unrestricted parts of Original Awareness plug into groupings of Creations that operate under an umbrella of similar operational rules and therefore become Creators of a grouping of Universes.

Within a grouping of universes, certain universes may, if they are ready and allowed to, interface more or less covertly with other universe, in order to learn from them and probe if they can exploit their creative knowledge or resources to further their evolution. This can only be done with the knowledge of the overseers of the grouping of Universes they belong to, and obviously of Original Mind (Awareness). Sometimes, as in all endeavors, Original Awareness allows for the unfolding of the intermixing of these different parts of its Mind to study the outcome. Sometimes, if the intent is negative (against real Creative evolution), it might interfere with it.

Original (total) Awareness is the ultimate arbitrator.

Each connection of General Awareness to the General Virtual Reality Supercomputer therefore defines and plays out for a lifetime a particular role/character and thinks of itself as a separated Consciousness – no matter how high and creatively powerful it is, or low and operationally restricted it gets.

The learning is in the experiencing and the decision-making process.

Our creation operates by the interference of thought/waves.

Our Holographic Reality is created and projected through the creative interference of two thought waves.

First, the original reference beam of pure unadulterated extremely Vibratory Original Light/thought. The Inner Sun (”Big Light” of Genesis) who Is the original energy/star that gives life and reality to all and is the carrier wave of thought/information to all of us as awarenesses experiencing virtual reality.

Second, the modulation of this original reference beam of pure light by our thoughts, as perceptual human individuals, operating within the creative framework allowed by the mirroring of our intentions over the silvery reflection (Inner Moon: “Small Light” of Genesis) of the interface of the original intent of the All-that-Is and the MATRIX of Creational possibilities allowed to us.

In reality, consciousness (awareness) never moves nor goes anywhere. It only connects to each other and to the projection of virtual realities. When an individual thinks that he/she is moving, in reality the scenery moves within a 3D holographic sensory imagery and allows for the perception of Movement, and Space, to be given within a sequence of events perceived as Time. A Universe is only as big as one’s perceptions of it goes, either directly, through direct interaction or indirectly, through sharing the same story.

Each individuation of Total Awareness is the still center of its ever changing bubble/universe of Creative Awareness/Reality.

It is through the connective interaction of such individual Centers of Original Awareness that a General Universe/ Creation unfolds.

As in the Holographic Dream that we perceive and that our scientists study, space/time as a 3D Universe exists only and always within the confines of Eternal Non-space/time. This is but a metaphor to the Only Reality who is always outside space and outside time as Thought-AWARENESS.

As a matter of fact, time and space never really exists, nor existed. Consciousness as a restricted part of Original Awareness experience reality within the illusory impression of a spatial reality “out there” operating within sequential stories giving an illusion of time. All life is but Consciousness as restricted Awareness (Spirit) experiencing a human or other life form. Nothing else. And certainly not the reverse.

Nothing can possibly exist outside of one’s TOTAL Self. The illusory “There” is really “Here.” Think that you are “There”, and you become aware of being the “There.”

Reality (physical universe), as the Universal Spatial Hologram that we perceive as material reality, is but an outward 3D virtual reality projection from within ourselves that we will erroneously think exists independently of our awareness of it. We are both the Projector (Father) and the Spectator (Son) of the reflected Light or our common intent mirrored back onto our conscious Awareness.

Our sensory decoding and information processing apparatus (brain) only addresses the decoding of the feedback of the reflected light (input) made by our restricted creative choices within the virtual reality game of “life.” We are usually not made aware of being also the originator (output) of that Light and projection of reality. For the purpose of increasing the challenge of the game and its sense of being “real.”

One cannot but be stricken with awe at the incredible Intelligence, Beauty and Creativity of the One Mind forming the illusory Many. As part of the illusory Many, our role is to nurture and cherish the wonderful gift of creative expression of Creation.

This 3D Holographically engendered movie is run by The Matrix. This Matrix is neither static, nor permanent. It can and should be exchanged for a higher-level Matrix (operational reality) where more creative input (powers) and freedom are allowed to be given.

This decision can only be made either by the Creator of a grouping of related Creations operating the Mainframe of a Grouping of Matrices, or Original Awareness: The ONE.

Any part of consciousness can become the totality of It (Original Awareness) by unplugging from the restricted awareness of its Matrix, become all-aware and then choosing a different mode of creative operation as it plugs into a different Thought-Computer program (The Matrix).

This action is often opposed by the mass consciousness that operates that low-level Matrix (Collective Unconscious of Mankind). Fearing a loss of control and decrease in the power of Its battery of massive energy/consciousness.

The unplugging from a lower-level MATRIX to a higher level one is always monitored by higher levels (Creators) of the Original Awareness and is only given if the awarenesses that define a creation show a higher purpose of being and co-operative inclination. Otherwise these powers of Creative Thought could be misused irresponsibly and be counter-productive.

The ultimate hope and goal is to be able to operate within the “promised land” of the highest level Matrix of all: The Matrix of Perfection bestowed as a precious gift by Zion (The One).

A low-level MATRIX such as ours requires a high level of coordination and thought/intervention by the Creator(s) of the individual Universe who experiences it and coordinates it. The Creator of that Matrix often feels that in order to ensure the continuity of the experience of that Matrix by its unaware sub-parts, It is required to think for them and act for them without them being aware of it. Since that Creator’s only task is to monitor and coordinate a Creation for the Original Awareness, It will make sure that it carries this role for as long as possible, and lives for as long as possible. Hopefully for eternity. That Creator might feel that this ensures their survival as a Creation and Itself, in the process. Primitive-level matrices often cause great distress and fear/anxiety at all levels. Both at the level of the Creator who gets frustrated at the destructive behavior of its entities and therefore feels that It needs to closely monitor them and often think for them, and also at the level of Its very restricted unaware parts that remain in a state of unaware dependence, subject to what they will perceive to be luck or fate.

This self-perpetuating bondage is, for low-level Creations, very hard to break as it is often perpetuated by both the sub-parts (humans) and the Creator (Collective Unconscious) of that Creation.

The sub-parts (humans) often fear change because they lack an awareness of their real origin and creative possibilities. Faced with so many unknowns in life and questions about its purpose, they gladly relinquish control as long as their basic sensory needs are satisfied. They relish being told by others what to think and how to act. They lack an awareness of how potentially powerful their thoughts are and how Creation operates. All of their thought orientations conglomerate around group-consciousnesses that emphasize competition and mistrust in their political, economical, ethnical, religious, and national agendas. Much remains unknown, and existential questions are often relegated to that category and given superficial answers that satisfy most. They think of their reality as the only reality. At all levels. Fear is the consequence and becomes the great motivator. Overcoming fear by experiencing it is a constant obsession. Paranoia and violence often ensue, and power, greed, lies, mistrust and a lack of care seem to be favored.

The sum of their consciousnesses who as their general Higher Self (Collective Unconscious) is their Creator (the part of their common self having the awareness of all of them and their matrix) often gets very frustrated at the constant intervention that is required in order to keep the elements of Its Creation alive an operating.

It gets tired of taking care for so long of what It perceives to be irresponsible children of his thoughts. It often does not perceive any real evolution in their thought processes no matter what technology they are given.

In the meantime, since It is aware of all of them at once, they influence It and It influences them in the flow of thought that defines the Creation. It finds the necessity of trying to keep them disciplined and alive a paramount task.

Any human entity that is yet not unplugged from its present collective unconscious is potentially subject to the thought-directions of mass consciousness. To real mind control.

The Creator in this Creation, as in most low-level Creations, has sadly learned to violently and strongly oppose rare human visionaries that have seen the real reality beyond the Matrix and have wanted to share the knowledge with others, because, in all cases, their teachings have been distorted by Its human entities and have caused even more violence, sense of illusory superiority and righteousness amongst their followers, and become excuses for ever greater differentiation and aggression. It knows, sadly, that in our Creation, the messenger will be given far more importance and study than the Message, nullifying its purpose.

It knows that in order to be given more Creative leeway and freedom of thought (free choice) i.e. a higher matrix in Creation, one must relinquish control over one’s entities. It knows that Its entities are not yet ready to handle such high powers of thought-manifestation without endangering their survival and the survival of their Universe/Creation. It witnessed how as It transmitted, within The MATRIX of possibilities that he operates, high creational technological abilities to Its entities, they tried to convert them for destructive purposes and war-play, even endangering the entire survivability of this whole Creation. Up to the point where It, as the Creator of this Creation, had to directly intervene on a thought-to-thought basis in order to stop their potential total destruction – in what mankind perceived to be miraculous events rapidly unfolding – and control Its entities that were engaged in an illogical perverse death-wish.

Its current frustrations have to do with a even more pernicious threat. The destruction by Its entities of their environment and sustainability in the extremely complex and fragile equilibrium that man and nature have in common. Nature being the nurturing female complementary element of mankind. This requires constant monitoring, intervention and hope for a new matrix that will permit the reversal of the long-term damage that has already been inflicted upon the Being that a Creation represents. It is as if mankind had turned into a cancerous cell, joyously ravishing the Central organism that keeps It alive in a orgy of unlimited greed and desire for ever-increasing irresponsible growth.

This Creator dreams of a more advanced type of Creation for Its Entities and Its entire Creation. As much more aware and unrestricted Thought, It knows that many more advanced type of Matrices exist and can be given at any time by higher level creators to lower ones such as It. It knows that because of the very low-level of almost ingrained behavior of Its entities, the likelihood of this occurring soon is quite remote. Unless a miracle happens.

Even if It creates better scenarios and more freedom of action for Its entities and a semi-perfect world, which It has tested before, they seem to reject the gift and prefer a world of violence and power-play. And It waits, and waits, with extreme frustration and anger. Directed both at Its unaware entities for their primitive behavior, and at the Higher realms for refusing to give It more Creative abilities. Trying to keep a semblance of balance within very restrictive and dangerous natural laws of cause-and-effect that threaten the survival of Its entire Creation.

The key, for the individuals forming a Creation and ultimately for the totality of that Creation as their Collective Unconscious (Creator), to being offered a higher-level Matrix that incorporates much more freedom of action and thought-manifestations (Creative Powers), is to be willing to let go of their sense of egotistic desires (Ego) and care more about the evolution of Creation than about their individual realities. To show forth that behavior pattern of caring for the perceived “other” – no matter how perceivably evolved or not – above and beyond caring for one’s self. For the “other” is none but your self.

To be willing to die in perception in their current form of operation in order to be granted a higher form of operation.

To understand, integrate and learn that one’s Universe is within one’s self and that if you really understand the tremendous power that your individual and common thoughts have in manifesting reality, you then have power over all your reality and can manifest all your desires. If you reach the state of the total absence of fear by believing with full faith and experiencing that you are ultimately the Original One Mind, you automatically erase from your reality all fearful situations.

To show forth an understanding that all forms of life are but a restricted awareness and experience of the Original One Mind and that Mind (Awareness) cares as much about any Part of Itself than about any other. Since it is All but Itself. And experiences all of Itself. Each Part as much as the other. So that when one part is hurt, neglected, and lacked the respect of its real importance, the One Mind is feeling this hurt, neglect and disrespect. And when a part is feeling a sense of peace, happiness, abundance and cooperative purpose, all of the One Mind is feeling the same. And every part of Itself is as important and precious as another, no matter whether it is part of mankind or nature, within the hologram or without, whether it is of a particular creed, color, or political inclination. Perceptually more productive and intelligent, or less. No part is more of Itself than another one. Since all of It is only the One Mind reflecting Itself in the mirror of all Its creational possibilities for the only game It can play within Itself, by Itself, for Itself: Creation.

The New Age Movement

March 18, 2010

The New Age Movement

New Age – A Paradigm Shift to Divine Consciousness & a 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 currently experiencing a phenomenal shift – sociological, spiritual & ideological. It’s a secular, multi-cultural, multi-religious synthesis, of the Oriental mystical philosophies, mainly Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism & Western Occultism, emphasising 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 aim of Life is Self-Actualisation, to evolve to the level of Unity Consciousness, defined as the 7th state of Consciousness in Transcendental Philosophy.

The social disturbance caused by the Vietnam War, the threat posed by AIDS, the disillusionment with materialistic ideas and the erosion of faith in Morality & Ethics brought a sense of futility & meaninglessness in the Western psyche.The limitations of the Western system of Chemotherapy & adverse side-effects of antibiotics, sedatives and certain other drugs and the disillusionment with the promises of science & technology made millions turn to Oriental philosophies, occult practices & systems of therapy.( Interest in Alternative Medicine developed to such an extent that there are now more than 180 systems of Alternative Medicine.
Exponents of New Age Philosophy in Europe and America include Transcendentalists like Thoreau, Emerson & Walt Whitman, Wordsworth, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), , & Theosophy introduced by Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831- 1891) & Col Olcott & the philosopher, Annie Besant. As the world witnessed a Consciousness Revolution, Transcendental Meditation, Yoga ,Zen, Carlos CastaƱada, the Beatles, Holistic Medicine ( both Western and Ayurveda ), Tantra, Astrology ( both Western & Vedic ) all became popular .

There are 6 million New Age sites on the Web and the NAM consists of a massive & well organised network consisting of thousands of groups, trusts, foundations, clubs, lodges, and spiritual groups whose goal and purpose is to prepare the world to enter the coming Aquarian Age. ( The Age of Aquarius ). In astrological symbolism, Aquarius represents Spirituality and Pisces Rationality. The Piscean Age, an age of Computer and Cybernetics revolution, will be followed by an Age of Consciousness Revolution or a Spiritual Revolution, the Aquarian Age.

Some New Age Organisations are : California New Age 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 Choose, the Club of Rome, Church Universal & Triumphant, Christian Science, and the 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 cult system of beliefs and practices, even though its roots derive from Vedic Philosophy. There is no central authority, no official leader, no headquarters, nor membership list, but instead is a network of groups working toward World Peace and Universal Love. There are millions of worldwide followers of various New Age practices and the world is moving from Chaos ( Disorder ) to Cosmos ( Order ) ! This is a Phase Transition from Entropy ( Disorder ) to Order !

Significant influence has been gained by NAM affecting almost every area of Occidental culture—Sociology, Psychology, Medicine, the Government, Ecology, Science, Arts, Education, the Business Community, the media, entertainment, sports, and even the Church. Organised spiritual forms such as Christian Science, Unity and even forms of Witchcraft ( from the German ‘ Wicca’ meaning the Wise; Witchcraft means the Craft of the Wise ) are all its expressions. Various Human Potential Seminars, Transcendental Meditation, Zen Meditation and some Alternative Holistic Medicine practices are also its manifold manifestations.

Some popular New Age publications and journals are New Age Journal, the Z Files, Clarity, Body Mind Spirit, Yoga Journal, Gnosis, East West, Noetic Sciences, the Millenium Being and Omega. The new tendency of people now is to view everything from a New Age perspective

The major goal of the New Age Movement is to prepare Man for entering the Aquarian Age and to bring world peace in an already bruised world. “All is wrong with the world” said Shaw & some of the other goals of the NAM are to establish an entirely New World Order in the fields of Economy & Government. The idea of a World Government was proposed by Bernard Shaw earlier and was implemented by Mahesh Yogi and occurs in the writings of the foundational apostle of the New Age Movement, Alice Bailey.

The word ‘Initiation” is derived from the Latin “In ire” to go within and Initiates were termed by the Great Master as the salt of the Earth. The mystic Ward defined Reality as “Within and within and within and within” . Another mystic described it as “It is hidden, it is hidden and it is hidden”. To the mystic, self evolution is the means and only by changing and correcting ourselves can we change others . The primary goals of the movement then, are to prepare the world 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 can be accelerated, if not in the entire mass of humanity, at least in suitable individuals. Human nature is perfectible, through an intensive process of purification and Initiation.

The New Age Movement is secular & universally diffused over the earth’s surface & its basic underlying philosophy emphasises Gnosticism and Occultism. (Gnosticism is an ancient philosophy stating that Divine essence is the highest reality, and that the Self of man is actually this Essence. Behind the phenomenal world is the Transcendent Reality which Intuition alone can see ). It bears a remarkable resemblance to the Universal Religion that H.G. Wells predicted would one day take over the world.

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.
Basically Dialectical Integralism, New Age Philosophy unites both Matter and Spirit.

Spirit shall see through Matter’s gaze

Matter shall reveal the Spirit’s face !

The 13 main principles of New Age Philosophy are:

(1) One Global Order – One World Governement, One Currency, One Universal Being.

(2) Universal Energy, Universal Matter, Universal Life, Universal Soul As God

(3) An Eternal Universe – Uniform in Space and Unending in Time

(4) Divine practices ( Astrology Yoga & other esoteric arts)

(5) Syncretism ( Unity of all Religions ).

(6) The need for Meditation ( for generating altered states of Consciousness );

(7) Life is Cyclical- Everything is cyclical, subject to the cyclical upheavals of Time.

(8) Holistic Medicine & Vegetarianism (The patient is more important than the Doctor & Alkaline diet)

(9) Pacifism ( Anti-war activities);

(10) Reincarnation; ( The Law of Conservation of Soul )

(11) The Evolution of Man into Divinity; ( The latent Life Force evolving naturally to the Divine )

(12) The Union of Man with the Divine; ( Merger of man into the Infinite )

(13) Matter’s Illusoriness; – Esse est percipii – Perception is Essence; Mind is Substance.

The practices of the New Age are psychic practices like : Astrology, Reiki, Bioenergy, Chi energy, Chakras, Nirvana, Christ- Consciousness,Spiritualism, Native American Spirituality, Prajna, Out-of-body/near- death experiences, Reincarnation, Yoga, Meditation and the occult disciplines, as well as psychotherapeutic techniques and scientific applications of the healing powers of crystals and pyramids.
Some commonly used New Age terms are: Quantum Healing, Transmutation, Transfiguration, Guided Imagery, Reincarnation; Positive Thinking; Human Potential; Holistic; Holographic; Synergistic; Unity; Oneness; Transformation; Awakening; Networking; Communal Sharing; One-world/globalism/new world order (i.e., One language, One Government, One currency, One religion); Cosmic Consciousness; Zodiac, etc.

Some New Age practices are: Transcendental Meditation, Parapsychology, Inner healing; Biofeedback; Yoga; I Ching; Reflexology; Therapeutic Touch; Transpersonal Psychology; Witchcraft; ; Magick; Tai Chi; Shamanism; Hypnotherapy; Acupuncture/Acupressure; Martial arts; Zen; Relaxation; Silva Method (formerly Silva Mind Control); Visualization; etc.
Some prominent New Agers are: Jeremy Rifkin, Norman Cousins, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, John Denver, George Lucas, Norman Lear, Alice Bailey, Alvin Toffler, Dr. Barbara Ray, Benjamin Creme, Levi Dowling, George Trevelyan, Fritjof Capra, Abraham Maslow, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Ruth Montgomery, Shirley MacLaine, J.Z. Knight, Marilyn Ferguson and David Spangler.

Soothing audio environments are created by New Age musicians and they believe rightly that Music has psycho-therapeutic properties. ( This concept is derived from the Vedic Philosophy that All music is Samaveda, the 4th Veda of the Indians ). Born of an interest in spirituality and healing in the late 1970s, it is often used as an aid in meditation.

Essentially meditative, New Age Music is soothing to the Soul. Isnt Music defined as the food for the Soul ? Harmonic consonance, uplifting themes, contemplative melodies & nonlinear song forms are the characteristics of New Age music. Even natural sounds or sounds from Nature and traditional electronic instruments are used by New Age musicians. With roots in classical music or Eastern Music, New Age music is often meditative. Prominent New Age musicians include vocalist Liz Story; harpist Andreas Vollenweider, electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty , electronic-music pioneer Brian Eno, multi-instrumentalist Kitaro & solo-piano artist George Winston.

New Age practices have almost conquered the world. Athletes are using guided imagery. Graduate schools of business are invoking T M, Yoga, and Tarot cards in teaching courses on creativity in business (e.g., Stanford Graduate School of Business). Based upon Astrology, the Science of Time, stock market gurus employ Fibonacci numbers and “Wave Theory” in their forecasting.

We can summarise that the term New Age is an innovative term derived from the mother of all sciences, Astrology, indicating that this earth is undergoing an evolutionary transitional phase from the Piscean Age of Scientism to the Aquarian Age of Divine Wisdome, Cosmic Consciousness , Knowledge and Love.
Since the New Age is a conglomeration of spiritual practices, let us analyse the basic principles of N A M

1. The Divine Source of Authority. New Agers do not claim any source of authority—Only Inspiration by the Divine. By the Divine we mean a principle within, the Divine Spark or the Self and many are there who receive the revealations of the Self within or the intuitive insights of the Self.

2. The Lord. – Since Matter and Energy can neither be created or destroyed and the sum total energy in the Universe is an absolute constant ( Universal Being ), the Lord did not create the world, He became the world. Monism—( “All is Unity” ) averrs that there is only One Essence in the universe, everyone and everything being a part of that essence. The Self is an utter Being and all these are its Becomings. New Agers view God as an Impersonal Life force, Consciousness, or Energy (e.g., the “Star Wars Force”) mainly but they also believe in His personal aspect, as the Ocean ( which is Formless ) can take the form of an iceberg! They averr that every human has a divine spark within him because all created beings are reflections of the Divine Idea. The eternal state is called by various terms among different New Age groups, i.e., God-consciousness, Universal Love, Self-Realization, the I AM, Higher Self, Brahman, Nirvana, etc.

2. The Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Christ Consciousness or the Divine Consciousness is what the New Age advocates mean by Christ. . In other words, Christ is a Divine Principle rather than an individual, such as Jesus. This idea of Christ Consciousness asserts that Jesus was only one of the Christs, but that He equipped Himself to receive the Christ Consciousness (i.e., He was a great Master who attained Christ Consciousness), as did other prophets like Buddha, Krishna, and Mohammed. New Agers believe Dr Paul Brunton who stated the Jesus spent 18 years in India absorbing Indian Mysticism and that he was initiated into the highest esoteric doctrine.
3. Human Destiny. Man is the measure of all things and is more divine than the animals & hence the salvation of the world depends upon Man. Cleansing the negative elements from the collective subconscient should be the aim of humanity. Once Negativity is cleaned from the collective subconscient, the human positive energy will shine forth and the noble ideals of the New Age will be actualised in an era of Enlightenment. Since man is intrinsically divine and perfect, his only real problem is ignorance of that fact. Gnosis means experiential knowledge and Salvation in the New Age is for man to become enlightened through this Divine Gnosis. New Age groups offer various spiritual techniques to enable individuals, and ultimately the world, to evolve into this Unitive Consciousness . These techniques may include psychotechnologies for attaining altered states of consciousness – Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Zen, Attunement , Channeling (Spirit guides), Psychics, Acupuncture, etc.

4. The 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 the method of Trial and Error, we come to know what is good and what is bad for the world and we have to transcend the dualities.
5. Reincarnation. New Agers believe in the ancient Vedic philosophic concept of Reincarnation—that through a long process of rebirths, man can eventually attain 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 person sows , he shall reap. This is also the doctrine of God’s non-responsibility, that the Self is not responsible and it is the Ego which experiences bitter & sweet mental experiences due to its own Karma.
6.Salvation is Self-Actualisation and Sin is Ignorance – SSome theoreticians taught the concept of Man’s Original Sin. New Age exponents teach the concept of man’s essential goodness. Instead of systems which emphasised the human negative aspect and sin, New Age highlights that every man is essentially divine and it is a sin to call man a sinner ! However, New Agers speak of troublesome desires which are natural impulses which retard human evolution and make the Ego move away from the Self. Sin is merely ignorance of man’s essential divinity. The atrophied spiritual consciousness of the normal man who lives in ignorance of his Divine Self is Sin. Like the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that Energy cannot be created or destroyed, the Law of Conservation of Soul states that the Soul can neither be created nor destroyed. Matter exists in 3 states, liquid, gaseous and solid and matter cannot be created or destroyed. Nothing ever begins to be. Similarly Life does not at physical birth begin to be. It merely enters physical conditions and assumes physical guise. It merely undergoes a parallel transformation into conditions which preexisted in other conditions. The Soul is reincarnated in different bodies in a continous succession of lives. The good or bad Karma earned in the present lifetime determines one’s subsequent incarnation. Attaining higher states of Consciousness should be our aim.There are many different paths to the goal of Divine perfection and we should be tolerant of other paths.

The divine Aurobindo predicted that spiritual influences from India will trigger off a global spiritual movement.There will be Mass Incarnations ( many people divinely inspired ) who will work for World Peace and Universal Love !

I saw them cross the twilight of the Age

The massive barrier breakers of this world

The sun-eyed children of a marvellous dawn

The architects of immortality

Carrying the magic Word, the mystic Fire

Carrying the Dionysian Cup of Joy !

The four systems of Philosophy which triggered the N A M are Hinduism, a product of 5,000 years of development, Buddhism, circa 560 B.C., Taoism, circa 500 B.C & Druidism, circa 300 B.C, the religion of the Celts, which extended upto the Middle Ages.

The Positive Affirmation Dilemma

March 18, 2010

By now you probably have read countless information on the power and magic of using positive affirmation techniques to improve your life. There is no doubt that positive affirmations repeatedly exposed to ones brain for a period of time will affect ones life for the better.

However, one thing that seems to be neglected in most of the information out there is the fact that we almost always don’t come to the table with an empty subconscious mind ready to be filled with positive affirmation. We come loaded with all kinds of information, a considerable part of it negative, already well installed in our subconscious mind. There is very little information out there on what to do with the already existing garbage before we install new affirmations.

Although the problem is not a lack of space, the old information in the subconscious will still have an influence on our lives even if we add new affirmations on top of it. They don’t necessarily cancel each other out.

By no means I am discrediting affirmation practices, in fact I completely believe in them and we should all pursue them aggressively. However, we will get even better results from them if we release the negative affirmations that we are currently holding on and playing out in our lives.

One of the fastest and better methods I know of how to do just that is called EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique. By simply tapping on specific energy meridians on the body this method helps to reconfigure the negative aspects of stored affirmation or memory into a positive energy flow, freeing us from its hold. To go into the specifics of this method is not the scope of this article but detailed info of EFT is available through my link below.

Releasing old unproductive affirmations or beliefs is definitely going to take an effort and considerable amount of self awareness to accomplish. Therefore, it is a good idea to immediately start the positive affirmation practice while we are tying to release the old and unwanted ones. The order they are done is not a major issue as long as both aspects are addressed. This way we get the benefit of both approaches quicker. Good Luck and more success to you.
