The Endless Path to Enlightenment

There will always be more crystals to hold, meditations to do, yoga poses to try, ceremonies to attend, psychedelics to take, vegan meals to consume, incarnations to live, dreams to analyse, higher frequencies to achieve, astronomy charts to read and breathing techniques to learn.

The paths to enlightenment are unlimited, and every path is never ending. Does each step along the enlightenment path makes you feel more unique, while it is just making you another uniformed disciple for the New Age movement? Does each step on the endless path makes you think you learn to listen to yourself while suppressing your inner voice and making you dependent on the endless tools and methods of the movement? Does each step advises you to believe that you are full of love, while you increasingly judge those “poor souls that have not come as far as yourself”? Does each step on the path to enlightenment convinces you that your religion is not a religion, while you look down on the religious? Does each step tells you that there is no evil nor good, while you increasingly try to convince yourself that when you observe evil, you do that because you have evil inside you? Does each step tells you that all is perfect, while you explain away all the barbarity in the world as “karmic dept”?

Is the New Age movement is a tool to put its followers asleep? A tool to make you believe you wake up in the wonderful age of Aquarius, when you wake up inside your new tiny prison cell?

Is it time to wake up before it is all too late?
