THE RELIGIOUS VIEWS AND ORGANIZATION BASED ON RULES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER OF THE LAW COULD HINDER SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT.
THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT HAS MANY IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN PAST DOWN FROM RELIGIOUS PRACTICES FROM PAGANS THAT WERE OPPOSED TO THE CHURCHES.EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY APPEAR TO BE A NEW MOVEMENT THEY STILL ARE AN ORGANATION OF PEOPLE WITH A GOAL TO BRING HARMONY OF THE ONE TO OUR PLANET.THIS IS "ONE" IS THE SAME PERCEPTION OF "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" AND THE INDIVIDUALITY IS LOST IN THE PROCESS.
WHEN WE USE OR THINK ABOUT THE WORDS "ALL,EVERYBODY, OR ONE" WE KNOW THAT WE ARE SAYING THAT EVERYTHING WORKS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE AND THE IDENTITY IS LOST OF THE INDIVIDUALITY.
THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT HAS MANY DIFFERENT IDENTIES SUCH AS GODDESSES PRIESTESS,SPIRITUAL GUIDES,MENTORS AND TITLES TO NUMEROUS TO MENTION IN THIS PAPER.WITHIN EVERY MOVEMENT THERE ARE DIVISIONS AND LEVELS OF HIGHER AND LOWER CONSCIOUSNESS.THESE DIVISIONS WERE CREATED IN THE CHURCHES ALSO AND STILL REMAIN TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT THEY MUST OBTAIN SOMETHING TO BE HONORED ABOVE THE OTHERS IN THE GROUP.
EVERYONE GETS THE SAME MESSAGES AND EVERYONE IS ONE AND NO-ONE IS REALLY HIGHER IN CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE WE ALL CONNECTED BY THE SAME SPIRIT OF NATURE AND GOD IS IN EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY.
THIS IS THE STATEMENT GIVEN BY THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT AND WE HAVE ALL EXCEPTED IT FOR CENTURIES.
THE TRUTH IS HARD TO DISCOVER IN THESE WORDS BUT IF WE LOOK CLOSER WE CAN SEE THE WORDS "EVERYONE,ALL AND THE ONE" MEANS 'ONE SIZE FITS ALL" AND THIS CAN NOT BE TRUE.
I guess it sounds good and I know I was fooled with this statement and have heard it many times and even practiced the things the new age movement told me in books and lectures.I remember meeting people who believed in the perception taught by many new age mentors.It was part of my journey and still I think it helped me to get where I was going.We all will learn from our experiences and grow spiritually and it is an individual spiritual concept.How we become aware is a process of each person's own development. At age 11 I was not ready to accept anything and it took many years to understand and allow my calling from God to be a prophet of God. In a way, this was not my timing at all it was God's divine timing that I didn't understand then.Every child of God has free will to allow and accept their calling.Waiting and being ready for anything is still a problem we all face every day we want our own timing in our lives to work went we want something to happen. Overcome everything with our spirit is the best way I have found and it took trust and obeying God to reveal His will for my life and not free will but it took free will first to make the choice to choose His way, truth and life to be whole.The duality is the most important lesson I have learned to bring everything together that seem to be in pieces and parts of the wholeness we all seek."You can have one without the other " with only one there are no comparisons and we need both.We each other and we need to be alone and darkness and lightness bring each other to their wholeness.So by saying "one size fits all" is not true it doesn't work because it doesn't make of think we are all the same and each is different according to our calling from God. God give each a gift from the Holy spirit when we are born again as a new creature and each gift has a different purpose in the body of believers .If we are one in spirit and God is in everything wouldn't we all have the same gift? You can look a rose bush and each rose with be different according to its placement on the bush but each is rose and God is in it.But you can't say that each rose will live the same amount of time or that the rose bush is one plant.You can look at the bush and observe each rose and an individual rose.So each child of God is designed to be an individual apart from the whole but connected to the whole like a branch on the same tree.Each child blooms on their own and has a purpose for God and serves God and others because we are from the same tree.We have needs that are our own and are not connected to the whole tree.We can't be like others completely we might have some things like others but we can stand alone in our beliefs of who we are called to be.The most interesting thing about being an individual is our prayer life and our meditations we need to come to the Father God alone and seek answers to our questions alone.Pray and meditations are not a "one size fits all" I found that out when I taught classes and I told my students that you have to choose the what works for you.I have talked to so many students over 40 years and the problems I have seen was in their spiritual growth and maturity because they are not willing to accept God and want to do it on their own or use somebody else's beliefs.We are each to seek and discover who we are as an individual apart from the one concept now happening on our planet.We want to belong to something greater than ourselves so why not choose Christ to follow instead of those that claim to have all the answers they give that they have feelings for that are not your own answers to your feelings about what's going on in your life.I have heard so many people asking others for answers for their choices and it is getting down to the wire folks we need to answer our own questions by asking God.
