These spiritual desire which became the main indication of New agers. As a new revivalist religious impulse directed toward the esoteric/metaphysical/spiritualism…, spiritual New Agers desire practically is a free-flowing spiritual movement, articulated into many meta-physic and spiritual manuscript.

These movement that started in English around 1960’s, were declared by Light Groups, Findhorm Community, Wrekin Trust. Became massive huge and spread internationally, especially from New Age seminary by Association for Research and Enlightenment in North American, and also spread by East West Journal in the year of 1971 which lately became New Agers journals. And not forget the sensational mini series Shirley MacLaine Out on a Limb, on 1987 in television.

These new age expansion became popular and phenomenal as a protest of the Christianity failure in giving spiritual knowledge and some clues for the future.

Most of new agers are disagree with the Church that claim their doctrin extra ecclesiam nulla salus. No salvation outside the Church. This claim of salvation not only closing other truth of other religions but also serious implication to conflict in the name of religion and God.
Thus they it made them believe that salvation is not important, cause they more believe on the enlightenment principal, where as they believe spiritually consciousness within their member could be enlighten with sacred self.

These new age spiritual are trans religion, its not only filling spiritual section from ordinary religion, but also giving the main purposes of universal religion, where there’s awareness of all is God and God is all. There’s only one reality that exist, religions is just traveling for one same purposes which is one ultimate reality.

So basically new age movement teaching below:
1. They deny the existing og the Lord as personal and the Creator. For them, Lord is just a spirit of the universe or power.
2. The world is just like a yin and yang, a battle of positive and negative, dark and light, and they also deny the existing of the Devils as well.
3. And of course the existing of Jesus as the true salvation, are denied as well. They compare Jesus the same with Gandhi, just ordinary men. They believe that each of them could save their own.

These movement obviously very concerning, and it is our job clarify and attract them back to the truth, the truth that exist in the Bible, the truth that Jesus teach us.

You also familiar with new age music, don’t get it mixed up, it’s different with new age movement. Thus there are some music being used for meditation, but not all new age music being used for that purpose.
Enya, Sarah Brightman, Enigma, Vitas, Nicholas Gunn, Mark Snow, Gregorian Chant/ Frank Peterson, etc. are quite a good song to listen, and got no direct relationship with new age movement as religion. If you do like to compare these song, you could buy download music songs and try hear it yourself.

Each religion approaches the divine in a unique way. Here are ten universal paths practiced by devotees to find God and connect with the higher self.

Every path to God is a personal experience, a private journey. No one path is inherently superior, as all paths to God are valid and useful.
Jesus said, “I and the Father are One.” (John 10:30) Humans and God are one. As devotees draw nearer and nearer to God, the ultimate goal is to merge with the Divine in an intimately spiritual union. Sri Ramana Maharishi, the famous Indian guru who achieved enlightenment at the age of 16, asserts, “God, Guru, and the Self are the same.” (p. 10, Erase the Ego)
Meditation as a Means to Draw Near to God
When a devotee quiets the mind, the inner voice can be more easily heard and heeded. Meditation allows for the cultivation of the state of mind needed to achieve enlightenment.
Buddhists, Christians, Hindus and other religions use meditation as a means to quiet the inner chatter and hear the voice of God, or the wisdom of the Higher Self.
Prayer as a Communication and Primary Path to God
Prayer can take many forms, including recitation of a mantra or repetitions with a rosary. Prayer can be a silent plea to the universe or a specific, intimate dialog with a personal, living God.
Prayer can involve specific requests of God or the Universe; expressions of appreciation for blessings; and communications of thanks, or cries for help.
Temporary Vow of Silence to Find the Higher Self and God
Silence does not just involve resting the vocal cords. Many religions advocate silent retreats, such as Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists.
Ritual silence can be used as a religious tool to quiet the mind to a deeper level than a meditative session. Silence is a disciplined, unique way to connect with the Higher Self and with God.
Yoga as a Discipline to Reconnect the Mind, Body, and Spirit With God
This ancient discipline is a subtle yet powerful path to God. The root word “yuj” means “to join, to yoke, to concentrate one’s attention.”
According to the Sanskrit Glossary of Yogic Terms, yoga is “a method of practice leading to conscious union of the human being (atman) with the universal existence of Brahman.” Brahman is the Hindu Trinity Godhead, similar to Christianity’s concept of the Holy Trinity. (Yoga Publications Trust, 2007)
Tithing and Offerings to God
Flowers, money, and personal sacrifice (as Catholics practice during Lent) are all examples of devotees’ external expressions of offering a part of themselves. Devotion is expressed through offerings, gift giving, giving of oneself. Tithing and offerings are expressions of love.
Acts of Kindness and Compassion as an Expression of the Divine
Jesus preached the importance of loving others, including it as one of the Ten Commandments given to Moses. The Dalai Lama teaches that compassion can be learned, and calls all who wish to achieve enlightenment to practice compassion.
Forgiveness is a supreme act of compassion, and also shows emotional and spiritual maturity. To forgive is divine, and is one way to draw closer to God.
Study of the Holy Texts Illuminate the Path to God
The Jewish religion emphasizes study as a means to understand and draw nearer to God. Christians study the Bible, revering the sacred text as a manifestation of God Himself: “And the Word became flesh…” (John 1:14)
Healthy Love of Self and Emotional Maturity as a Path to God
If God and the Self are the same, then a healthy love of self is absolutely necessary in spiritual growth, devotion to and love of God. Healthy love of oneself is a step in reconnecting to the Higher Self and emotional maturity allows for synthesis of mind, body and spirit.
Ethical Decisions Draw the Righteousness Near to God
Ethics does not involve right vs. wrong or good vs. evil, but rather entails a consistency of moral code. While some religions may differ on ideas and philosophies of morality, ethics and righteousness prove a powerful path to God, as a disciplined approach to what one believes is right.
Rituals as an Outward Expression of Devotion and Commitment to God
Pagans, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others all practice religious rituals. Culturally, humans crave ritual to give order and increase meaning to outward acts of devotion. Rituals can provide structure and discipline to devotion. Some use rituals as a tangible lifeline that leads directly to God.
Devotees can use one, several, or all of these paths to God and to the Higher Self. For example, japa mala combines ritual with prayer and meditation.
Just as seekers approach the study of the Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, from different angles, so the seeker can approach and ultimately unite with the Divine, the One God, the Higher Self, or the Universe using any of these valid and powerful paths.
