Re: The obsession to find truth, can also become an inability to see truth.
OP's post criticizes and speaks condescendingly about other beliefs.

However, a problem, I see, with these posts, is that when you dig deep, and find the person's actual beliefs, the same person who criticizes other beliefs, is ironically presenting another alternative belief system.

The person, believe his / her beliefs, is somehow more evolved and transcended since it's not labeled / 'tagged', but this is false. The person, is merely presenting his / her own personal beliefs.

You can be led astray from truth to the point you don't recognise it or feel it it's a tightrope you walk without realising that you are walking it

There are tricks however

Whatever the popular opinion is... is usually the complete opposite

But be careful that you don't trick yourself

And how is this related to this post? Where is the led astray from truth in this message? Can you point it out or are you just assuming it since you ''think'' that i am a new ager?

You see my message, you think to yourself, ahhh hes a new ager, then you think of all the other new age messsages you have read or seen, and then you think that i share all of these belives with them.

There is NO new age movement. There is no group, no rules, no stated truth.

The new age movement is working the same way as the anonoymous movemvent, its just a group of people with huge variety of opinions concerning the same cases.

I am not what you have read before about new agers, i am just me.

Dont label me =)

And again, please feel free to pin point out what you disagree with instead of just saying its like this and that ^^

No one can fully 'know' themselves, until they have been sifted.

When they have gone thru this, they will only find that they 'know' just enough, to not like what they 'know'.

Only then can the infinite be known, and one can be known by the infinite.

Human knowledge is temporal finite.
Infinite knowledge is infinite.
Become known by the infinite to begin to know thyself/finite.
Not the otter way around.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36663943


You havent been corrupted by a movement, thats the main poin im trying to make here. You have been corrupted by single individuals and your own intuition.

Lets say that you and me had spent 100 hours each reading on the new age movement and then we would get together and talk about it.

Do you think that we would share a similiar opinion?

The sad fact is that we wouldnt, not even if we had read and watched the very same things.

Our old beliefs and thought patterns are very much used to percive incoming information. Your old beliefs and thought patterns could make a sentence into real stupidity but for me it could be the greatest truth.

Maybe i had 10 pages of information to back up this truth, and therefore it was easier for me to conclude it as truth.

But you on the other side had only a limited knowledge behind the meaning of this sentence, therefore in your head your interpretation would be very different.

Theres so much connections, and what im trying to talk about in this thread is that if you lose some of the connections that you dont need, that arent imporant, it will be easier to look at things more objectivly.

For example;

If i read a post by a christian on this forum, i try to see it from his perspective, and not all christians perspective. I cannot let my old thoughts about christianity interact with my reasoning when i interact with others. I want to connect with the person, not his beliefs.

Also i dont belive that people are not intelligent, i belive that there is no such thing, i belive it all cooks down to lack of experience.

Experience = Knowledge

Sometimes you have to pick the wrong bull, to be able to find the right one!

Also, truth is subjective, especially when egos are involved. Only in the absolute is truth not subjective. And the absolute truth is: There is only 'one' and it is love. There is no other thing outside love.hf

You are looking at this from your own perspective now i assume? If so then your answer makes sense to me, if not then i think we disagree hehe ^^

I belive many people are looking and looking but they dont know what they are looking for. They have only looked on things from the outside perspective instead of diving within. They think that there is something which they have to learn, so they read and read and read, on everything and anything, but they never stop up, and just think from within =)

But again, we might look at this from two veeery different perspectives :P
