No, I do not and will not, follow the New Age movement, which originated in the late 20th century. It's just another way for people to get around the Bible and ignore God. It emphasizes beliefs contrary to, and outside the Bible. It is a very dangerous self-love and self-actualization ideology that is fed to many today, whose goal is to turn one's attention and affection away from God, and instead, to become "one with the universe" through meditation, drugs, yoga, martial arts, or cosmic experiences. It won't work, if one wants to get to heaven.

@LadyGrace Hi, no, and I won't believe in the "born again, only one name" system that gradually originated from the 16th century, after Martin Luther, the printing press and mass literacy.

Christianity is in fact far deeper, wider, and more all embracing.

Don't bother responding.

No.

I can't really remember where that "New Age" phrase came from but I am pretty sure it arose in the 1960s "flower-power" fashion and has continued since among those who imagine "ley lines" are real, Stonehenge was a Druid temple, and mineral samples from knick-knack shops in Glastonbury have magick properties. (Glastonbury town that is, not the music festival!)
