The ‘New Age’ claims, by its very name, to be inspired by the ‘new’ when much of it is just the ‘old’ revisited and repackaged.

It is founded on the beliefs of the eastern religions and philosophies and when you go deeper into the background of a lot of what passes for Hinduesque ‘enlightenment’ it is no longer a surprise that I was told once by a recovering government mind-slave connected to Henry Kissinger that he was behind the emergence of what has been termed the ‘New Age Movement’.

There are many genuine people in what we call the ‘New Age’, but it is also awash with fakes, fantasists and those simply placed there to mislead.

The ‘New Age’ is, as I described it in one of my books, the last cul-de-sac before the gold mine. In other words, it is the last diversion for those who have rejected both religion and this-world-is-all-there-is ’science’.

And so many have been caught in this pseudo freedom - even down to the way they dress. The New Age is supposed to be founded on the freedom to express uniqueness and yet you can often spot a New Ager from 100 yards just by the clothes they wear.

What people choose to have in their wardrobe is entirely up to them and none of my business, but it is hard to square a philosophy based on celebrating uniqueness with wearing what is, in effect, a uniform.

The ‘New Age’ is clearly not new at all. It is just another religion operating in the way that all religions do. The apparent anarchy presented by its public face hides the conventional religion that underpins it. Like all religions, it is founded on the worship of something or someone and on seeing themselves as lesser-than, rather than part-of.

Oh, I hear all the PR stuff about everyone being ‘One’ and ‘taking your power back’, but that’s not what I see at the extreme end, and often less-than-extreme end, of the New Age arena. What I see is people giving their power away in the worship and exaltation of gurus and deities.

The New Age even has its own version of Jesus, a chap called Sananda. Christianity got it wrong about Jesus, sorry ‘Sananda’, - he’s really one of the ‘Great White Brotherhood’ of Ascended Masters to whom we supposed to focus our worship and devotion. Ah yes, we must ‘devote’.

Devotion is something you hear a lot in the eastern religions on which the New Age is based and the dictionary definition of that word includes this: ‘Religious ardour or zeal; piety’. But, of course, the New Age is a religion spawned from other religions and so you must find ‘religious ardour or zeal; piety’.
