NEW AGE: THE DANGERS OF
By Gabriel Wüldenmar IRRATIONALITY
The New Age is a movement full of "masters" of both this world and presumably the other. But paradoxically, there are some groups to refuse any doctrinal teaching, or external information, they say that it is enough inside to know everything, they do not want nothing from outside.
is true that within us there is a more sedate me, wise and deep, an opportunity to refocus better the realities of life with greater serenity and detachment. But beware exaggerate the doctrine of inner teacher!. He is also a disciple of life and does not know everything. So is living here embodied, interacting, interacting with the environment and others, experimenting, making mistakes, by drawing on outside information. That is to live and learn, but no sense that we were here experience to others and the environment. Human beings are social beings and draws on external experience with others, his mind is built on information, knowledge and experience, to the extent that there is no human being that only taps into the interior. Otherwise, learning and objectivity would be impossible. Even our body, which is wonderful and works very well, it needs a continuous supply of oxygen and food from outside.
Furthermore, the statement of the ultra-interior view is contradictory in itself: it is true that I only accept what comes from inside me, when someone tells me I should just accept whatever comes from inside me, I reject it because that information I come from another, from the outside, so if I accept, and false statements, and if not accept, evidently, too.
is absurd because that in turns with the pride of our ego, despise help and advice of external knowledge. Instead, seize the opportunity, let's internal and we will have assimilated. Moreover, that in itself was good anchorages adventure await insidious enemy: 1) The darkness that comes from our inner nature unpurified fall (Gen 6.5 and 8.21; Mt 15, 18-19, so we're in a world where there is pain and purification).
2) The seductive and sensual deception of our ego that seeks to accommodate lost and self-centered sensations rather than polished and progress.
3) The action of dark forces to create intelligent links that take advantage of lying and exploitation of energy, eager for a window into our world.
4) The neglect of our commitment to our neighbors and with the need to fight for a fairer world.
5) There is a danger that is up resenting our rationality, objectivity and critical to enter a fantasy world completely irrational and a-critical subjective. Indeed, if the only thing real is what you feel or "know" myself and there can be no contrast to external information, there may be no criteria for what is true or false. Is well blocked any ability to know, objective science and rationality. All this leads to irrational positions
For all this, all the traditions - Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, ... - Truly mystical warn of the need to undertake the inner journey from a firm doctrine, with critical to our psychological experiences and mistrust of the imagination and with less initial advice of an experienced teacher.
But the pseudo-mysticism of these factions ignored all this. If we warn of the dangers react aggressively because of "frighten them." They are like one who wanted to sue "to sow fear among drivers Instead of letting them move freely "to the Department of Transport, for putting so many warning signs, traffic regulations and awareness campaigns. Irrational.
