New Age Spiritual Movement Frustrations

[unity100]

The reason why I ask this, is that I have noticed a huge influx of people hopping on the “new age” train, and every single one of them is putting their content behind some sort of a paywall

It was never any different?

Since mid-1960s, spiritual literature has been crowded by those who are in it to make money. Especially in the US. This is also the reason for the overabundance of content that talks about an 'ascension' or 'doomsday' with end of the world scenarios because this kind of content sells very well in the US. Aliens etc as well.

The moment you go out of the sphere of more-meticulous material like Ra, late-19th / early 20th century spiritual literature, you end up facing a horde of material that is mainly there to make money.
