What is New Age

New Age is a spiritual movement which came into being around the mid twentieth century. It fuses Eastern and Western spiritual and metaphysical beliefs and injects concepts such as psychology, parapsychology, holistic health, and consciousness research and quantum physics. It is a non – religious movement which aims to “create spirituality without borders or confining dogmas”.

Followers of the New Age movement believe that the mind, body, and spirit are interrelated and that there is a Oneness or a unity throughout the entire universe. New Age, unlike religion does not found itself on faith as it embraces a number of scientific and pseudoscience concepts.

Lightworkers

New Age belief and practices are founded to a large degree on a belief in unconditional love and compassion for other members of the human race and the environment in which they live. The light worker is a term used by New Age followers for people that channel different energies to perform different tasks that help other people, which in turn are based around a belief that there are universal energies that connect people and everything in the universe together. The light worker manipulates this energy to create something positive for another person. Reiki is a good example of this.

Many lightworkers choose to “shine their light” on people with whom they interact. This is based around the supposition that the world will be a better place if they do, and in showing love and compassion they are embarking on a journey to the divine.

Holding Someone in the Light

This term is arguably the equivalent of a Christian prayer. It involves sending universal love energy sometimes referred to as divine energy to an individual who is in particular need of healing or help. “Holding someone in the Light” is also a form of prayer for The Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers.

Lightworkers.org defines a lightworkers mission as: “To walk upon the face of the planet lightly, as the rainbow warriors of our time, and shine our love, happiness, and peace into the world. To calm the inner turmoil, to just be, and be happy with who you are, to love life, to love all that is, that power some call god, and of course to love one and other unconditionally.”

Metaphysics

Metaphysics concerns itself with explaining the fundamental nature of being through asking two questions

What is there?
What is it like?

This branch of philosophy is not easily defined given the huge scope of the answers to the above two questions. Metaphysicians spend their time clarifying what we know as existence, object, property, space, time, causality, and possibility.

Metaphysics is important to the New Age belief as its followers believe that through embracing metaphysics and trying to see beyond what is perceived to be real, a healing process can occur through focusing the mind to the task. This healing process occurs psychically.

Many New Age followers feel that science’s empirical and pragmatic approach is beginning to “catch up” with new age beliefs that the laws of nature are to a large extent different than what is normally perceived.

2012

New Age followers like many followers of faith and superstition believe that an event of enormous magnitude will occur around the 21st December 2012. New Age belief is that this will be a positive or spiritual transformation into a new age or era. It does not necessarily mean that this will happen overnight, but marks a beginning of a better time based on unconditional love.

This belief is at odds with other beliefs that a huge catastrophe will occur. The 2012 date marks the end of the world.

Scientifically speaking, there is no tangible evidence that the world will end.

I expect there will be major changes coming about on or before that date, including first contact by the lightworkers who have brought many cloaked spaceships that reside here on earth right now.
