There is neither a
clear definition of the phenomenon, nor of its origin. Well, the
most that can be said is that the movement of the New Age is a group
of ideas, suppositions and preparatory practices in view of a better
period for humanity, where peace and happiness will reign throughout
the world. At least this is the expectation of those that proudly
make up part of the movement, or are accused of belonging to it.
This hope in the Golden Age, or the Kingdom of the Millennium, or
the Kingdom of the Thousand Year Peace, is the common link among the
multiple facets of the New Age. Apart from this, it looks more like
a confused gathering of esoteric groups, naturalistic philosophies
and countless practices of mystic-occult groups, all chemically
fused into a single denomination.
The traditional religions, principally the Christian ones, have no
sympathy for the New Age. They see it as an enemy that has come in
from the cold and they treat it as such. For sure there are more
than a hundred books alerting the Christians on the dangers that
they are exposed to, since there can be no salvation for renegades
that help increase the ranks of the Antichrist army, or for the
Antichristian, as each new leader of a sect or philosophy is a
natural - and obligatory - candidate for the post as the Beast of
the Apocalypse.
But in spite of the curse of the Armageddon the movement grows
undisturbed all over the world. Day after day it continues
recruiting a growing number of followers, whose biggest difficulty
is choosing one of the permanently open and ever inviting multiple
entrances.
There is no denying that in the last few decades there has been an
explosion of new philosophical concepts, of the most varied forms
and shades of life. And we have to acknowledge that they are all
opposed to one another in one way or the other, and to the religious
orthodox and the pro-scientific; the two great arks considered as
safe houses and trusted by humanity as they have always comforted
“normal” travelers during one’s life passage on Earth.
Yes, there have been some smaller vessels that followed other
directions, not traveled by those two great philosophical arks, in
opposite directions, but their numbers were never very big, their
passengers were scarce, and their crews always the same. They were
but exotic rafts, that awoke some curiosity when observed from the
fleet of one of the two flagships, but nothing of any great
consequence.
Now, however, the sea is agitated, not full of rafts, but spacious
ferryboats, each one following a different route, and all these
embarkations are committed to transport their passengers directly to
the unknown land of the New Age.
Where does this certainty come from that makes thousands of people
eagerly await the Age of Peace? Is it a coming Age that seems to be
imminent?
This unquestionable certainty inexplicable through rational thought
is engraved in people’s souls. Indelibly recorded there.
In ancient times, people on Earth received news that an exam would
await mankind when the period for their spiritual development had
finished. And those that passed the exam - known today as the Final
Judgment - would then live in an Era of Peace, the Thousand Year
Kingdom. This is the proof that the origin of this knowledge of the
New Age comes from very ancient times, and this knowledge was not
wiped out by previous incarnations, as only the body changed and not
the individual's soul.
Today, we are actually living the last phase of this final
examination of humanity, whatever stuck to our souls appears
suddenly and impetuously manifesting itself in our conscience. That
is why many people manifest a yearning and in their inner selves are
convict of the arrival of a New Age, without knowing exactly why
they are aware of this. The majority has abandoned the traditional
religious and scientific concepts and is seeking other paths; to
them the Age of Peace is not seen as an imaginative utopia, for they
have been waiting for it with absolute certainty.
However, even if they do not admit such a possibility, it is certain
that the embarkations of religion and science will not take their
occupants to the New Age, and also the countless other alternate
vessels will not be successful in their task. Humanity's unstoppable
spiritual decadence that has already been in progress for thousands
of years has not left a safe recognizable path to that goal to be
followed anymore.
It is neither the religious-scientific dogmas nor the
contortionists’ mystic-occult beliefs that can enable somebody to
pass through the Final Judgment and allow him enter the New Age.
There is only one path that leads there, the simplest and for that
reason the most despised by the present day human being, who is a
slave to his incorrigible presumptuous intellect.
This path, exhaustively exhorted and explained by the prophets of
ancient times, and later on by the Son of God himself, Jesus; is to
live according to the laws that govern Creation, tuning our
thoughts, speech and acts to the vibrations of these primordial
laws. Whoever fulfills this today shows that they have developed
correctly. This is why the right way of living is the only
embarkation prepared for the crossing of the Final Judgment, capable
of facing the terrible storms that approach, and to safely dock at
the New Age. |
