New Age Spiritual Movement Frustrations

[tadeus]

This person has gotten lost in the Matrix, which is ironic as it is their self-proclaimed favourite movie. The universe is full of irony like that, as I feel our true selves have a good sense of humour at times, but it’s too bad most are too asleep to appreciate the details we put into our lives like that, but that is a whole other topic to cover at a later date. 

The tragic thing is that such people are convinced to have escaped from the matrix, but it is only a transformation from one matrix into another.

This is where I feel the balance of love and wisdom really comes in to play. Is it loving to scam people into buying your classes when you know they can learn all they need to know at their own pace, in an organic way, without someone telling them how?

Even if it does help some people who may be have difficulties finding direction, eventually those people will realize that this self-proclaimed guru no longer has anything real or useful to say, and will intuitively move on. But, I feel like the ones who are fragile and in a new place of seeking need to be handled with care until they are strong enough to know the difference between useful and unhelpful information, what is expansion vs what is constricting.

Again i must think at the story of Siddhartha: A Poem of India by Hermann Hesse - it is describing this situation in a nice way.

"To know the difference between useful and unhelpful information" is hard work of learning and processing of all the informations.
But that's what the people not want - they want a teacher that is prompting the result, while they are sitting there and drinking a cup of coffee in a group.
Just following the programmed pattern of school - but the main things have to be digged out individually in hard work.

So it was a smart move to drive people out of self-taught learning.

The ultimate goal is not to be happy at the expense of everything else. That is not loving either, unless you are going the service to self route. I feel like teaching people spiritual principles, even if those principles are healing and genuinely therapeutic, are not going to gain any positive polarity if their motives are not pure. Fame, power, and enough money to have a fancy lifestyle should not be your motivation for helping. I feel like all the work you do helping would be cancelled out by the egoic intentions behind those actions.

What can even be done in these situations? Do we sit there and watch more peoples energies get sucked dry until they are too tired to care anymore, or is there a way to actually help this situation become something better? Or is it too late? These people seem like an invasive species, this new age movement, and its slowly taking over everything and smothering the life from it. This is not how people were meant to evolve, staring at TV screens with some guy telling them how to change. It was through life we are going to have our most awakening and growth, by learning to live through our own hearts.

I could observe several times that people tried to teach selflessly, but at some point they always got frustrated by the lazy people who just sit there laughing and drinking coffee and want just to be entertained, but telling they want to learn something.
Attend this week your seminar and the next week another with maybe the opposite content, telling that you have spoken nonsense without any thought on the content.

So it is not surprising that at some point a teacher will give up and will concentrate on the livelihood and the business.

The staged New-Age-movement is simply a briliant plan and is just a continuation of the preparatory programming before it.
