what is the New Age Movement?
360224
New Age describes a broad movement in Western culture characterised by an individual eclectic approach to spiritual exploration. It has some attributes of a new, emerging religion but is currently a loose network of spiritual seekers, teachers, healers and other participants. The name "New Age" also refers to the market segment in which goods and services are sold to people in the movement.\n\nvisit \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age_Movement

do you mean to ask Kabbalah as a school of thought? In hinduism there is a system of asking questions for seeking the truth( of life)..its called Chintan ( when done collectively) or Atm-Chintan ( Self). Then Hinduism also speaks about meditation (Tapasya is roughly the word, however it is more near to endevour) as the way to seek the truth.

nirvana (nērvä'nə) , in Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism, a state of supreme liberation and bliss, contrasted to samsara or bondage in the repeating cycle of death and rebirth. The word in Sanskrit refers to the going out of a flame once its fuel has been consumed; it thus suggests both the end of suffering and the cessation of desires that perpetuate bondage. Epithets of nirvana in Buddhism include “the free,” “the immortal,” and “the unconditioned.” Nirvana is attainable in life, and the death of one who has attained it is termed parinirvana, or complete nirvana. This has often been interpreted as annihilation, but in fact the Buddhist scriptures say that the state of the enlightened man beyond death cannot be described. Nirvana in the different Indian traditions is achieved by moral discipline and the practice of yoga leading to the extinction of all attachment and ignorance. See also karma.

I read The Celestine Prophecy a few years ago. As for energy changing, there was some. But The Celestine prophecy is only one tool that can help in your spiritual growth. There are many more books that offer similar 'opening' channel perspectives. Having walked the path a number of years now, I can tell you that there is no single way to reach enlightenment. There are as many paths to enlightenment, or spiritual awareness, as there are souls in existence. That is not meant to sound flip or smarmy. It is merely a statement of truth. I would not have a problem having discussions with you on these matters as I have done so with other before. Just don't know how we'd link up.

Neoconservatism is a political movement, mainly in the United States, which is generally held to have emerged in the 1960s, coalesced in the 1970s, and has had a significant presence in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.\n\nThe prefix neo- refers to two ways in which neoconservatism was new. First, many of the movement's founders, originally liberals, Democrats or from socialist backgrounds, were new to conservatism. Also, neoconservatism was a comparatively recent strain of conservative socio-political thought. It derived from a variety of intellectual roots in the decades following World War II, including literary criticism and the social sciences.

Not ripped off by banks, landlords and grocery stores? In the U.S.? You must be dreaming.\n\nYour only real chance, short of pulling off the revolution, is to find an ashram or other community which grows its own food. They tend to have plenty of rules though, which might not equate with your idea of the simple life. All that I know of have strong new-age or religious inclinations.\n\nYou'll need to find one that matches your beliefs and personal needs, so get researching. There's plenty of info on the net and in green directories.

The Age of Enlightenment refers to either the eighteenth century in European philosophy, or the longer period including the seventeenth century and the Age of Reason. It can more narrowly refer to the historical intellectual movement The Enlightenment, which advocated Reason as a means to establishing an authoritative system of aesthetics, ethics, government, and logic, which would allow human beings to obtain objective truth about the universe. Emboldened by the revolution in physics commenced by Newtonian kinematics, Enlightenment thinkers argued that same kind of systematic thinking could apply to all forms of human activity.

If you are referring to Enlightenment as a movement that emerged in Europe... in the present day discourses... postmodernism seems to be up in arms against the notion of this universal Euro-centric 'enlightenment'.  The present day social theorists see Enlightenment as part of the European colonizing mission where a certain kind of rationality with European experience as a role model was imposed on the rest of the world which in turn had nothing to offer but only to catch up with the West and modernize.\n\nPersonally, i am weary of going overboard with this present day trend, which is letting all kinds of weird irrational locally dominating ideas to assert themselves against modernity.  Various fundamentalist religious movements are questioning the regime of reason by suggesting that one truth is equal to the other so we will follow ours whatever the consequences!  Evolution and creationism are projected as equal.  The boundary between myth and science is being collapsed.  There is a great danger in this tendency, however exciting it may appear, for the end of reason means proliferation of multitudes of lunacy and parochialisms which are hard to manage...

In religion and sociology, a cult is a cohesive group of people (often a relatively small and recently founded religious movement) devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture or society considers to be far outside the mainstream. Its separate status may come about either due to its novel belief system, because of its idiosyncratic practices or because it opposes the interests of the mainstream culture. Other non-religious groups may also display cult-like characteristics.

Usually it the discussion of the way people deal with the spiritual parts of themselves.  It can involve things like clairvoyance, meditation, dream walking, and other mind expanding experiences (no drugs).  It generally goes beyond the physical universe that we experience daily.

1) In the new millennium, Spirituality is being seen in a more clear sense, with respect and sensitivity all over. The one interesting fact about Hinduism is "Sarva Atma Bhava" which is the sanskrit expression for seeing  the one-ness of spirit - a spark of Divine in mankind - in all.\n\n2) However difficult this may initially seem to the cynics, we see an acceptance of above point and with this Humans all over becoming more sensitive to pain and suffering.Empathy at a higher level turns to Compassion.The first lesson in GITA teachings in qualities of a true Devotee (Chp 12) is Equanimity - as Friendliness to all, Dislike for none.Compassion, etc and this is reaching out....\nRegards \nCapt TR.\nChennai INDIA.,
