What is the New Age? That is the question we get asked the most. And sorry to say, there is no one answer that seems to fit the description of what the New Age is and is not. I can tell you that the New Age is not a religion. Those interested in New Age concepts come from many different religious faiths and all walks of life. What sets the New Age apart from orthrodox religious doctrine is that we of the New Age embrace all religions. We believe this: That all the major religions of the world contain a common truth. That truth centers around this main idea: That We Are One immortal everlasting Spirit.
New Age Thought
does not neccessarily see man as the center of the universe but accepts and believes in the divinity of all manner of life, including the mineral, vegetative, and animal kingdoms. We believe that Mother Earth is a sacred entity and that it is our responsibility to honor and to cherish Her because She provides us with a unique life. With several in fact, because we of the New Age have also come to accept the Eastern theory of Reincarnation as well as the theory of Cause and Effect. That what we sow, we shall reap, not necessarily from this one life but our rewards await us in heaven. That when we leave this earth plane we not only shed our earthly garb but shed our astral bodies also in favor of graments of light. That we ascend and decend in a long series of lives until we reach a point of 'Perfection'. In other words, New Age Thought accepts the notion of ascension and final ascension. Or what some call 'Liberation' from this our Valley of Tears. |

Focal Points of Interest
embody such topics as the Human Aura, Chakras, Meditation, etc. I
am also very interested in Near-Death Experiences, Out-of-Body Experiences,
Astral Projection and in general any mystical experiences that can
not be easily explained or wished away. Mine happened to me when I was eleven years old but it does not fall into the category of your ordinary Near Death. Since I rose above the astral plane it does not meet the criteria of an Astral Projection either. I like to think of it as my own personal Spontaneous Projection or a Nirvanic Experience. Perhaps you have had an NDE, AP or OOBE too. If so, please feel free to email me, I would love to hear about it.

Esoteric Christianity
Another
interest of mine is the study of comparative religions and Esoteric Christianity. My interest
centers on Christianity because that is the religion I was born into. Yet through the years I have learned to embrace other Eastern religions
and to make comparisons--primarily to help understand my own better.
I have produced several Paralleled comparisons as well as creating the Song of Mark a New Age paraphrase of Mark's Gospel.
By studying Theosophy and the writings of Madame' Blavatsky, Charles
W. Leadbeater, Annie Besant and A.E. Powell I have come to cherish
the Buddhist scriptures and do find remarkable parallels to what
many are now calling the New Age but what I chose to call Esoteric Christianity.

It
is not my intent to convert or to convince but merely to pass on what
I know either by direct experience or by research. My hope is that
you will find this an enjoyable place and return back often. Hopefully
to gain some insight or to help answer any inner questions you may
have. In short, my purpose is to enlighten and also to make a difference
even if it be in a small way. Still, I would like you to know that what you see and read here is nothing more than the ideas, concepts and opinions of one person; nothing more and nothing less. These pages may not contain universal truths but they will contain mine.
