The weakness of the entire New Age movement is very clear when seeing and reading the best and brightest of the New Age thinkers such as Ramacharaka. Essentially because of their focus on the left brain intellect, they ignore the feelings and emotions that are actually the source of wisdom and knowledge. Inserting intellectual systemology in place of intuitive sense and conscious breathe, the New Age movement has long been overly focused on intellect while the dark and light feelings remained hidden from the conscious mind. Essentially the conscious mind and the unconscious emotions/feelings were not integrated, creating confusion and idle intellectual speculation that failed to provide anything of substantive constructive personal use. Love, for instance, is something that can only be fully realized by feeling and overcoming the darkness of fear through courage and focused breath awareness.
The understanding of those feelings and the proper use of those feelings while breathing consciously is the proper conduit for a full life and a healthy mind. It is essential for mental and emotional health that one understands the human emotional grid, a subject covered on my metaphysics website. Once you learn how to feel for yourself, you can move beyond learning by memorization and naked intellect, and can figure out for yourself what is true and what is false without relying on others to give you those answers simply by breathing and using your conscious feelings. That is the essence of New Consciousness of the One Spirit of the Earth and the One Human Spirit that is slowly, but surely, breaking out of its subconscious confines and into the light of the conscious mind. The new motto of the New Age might simply be Breathe, and Know Thy Self.

Just Chris,
Fix your title. You have "the" spelled wrong. I'll read the review later. Sounds very interesting

Just Chris,
Not long ago the Dalai Lama popped into town and a friend of mine sent me this, in the e-mail. I found it rather interesting. Especially considering that the Chief Rabbi was inviting the Dalai Lama to head up an international "UN" of religions based here.
Apparently, there is more to the "brotherhood of white men" than meets the eye...

Thanks for the complements. I read these books when I was in my early college years and have learned tons since then. Indeed Ruvy, several of the authors I have read including Stuart Wilde and Trevor Ravencroft have uncovered the connection between the Nazis and Tibetan monks. Especially disturbing is Ravencroft's Spear of Destiny book which goes into how Hitler attempted, in a bid to control the world, to aquire the Spear of Longinus that the roman centurion used to pierce the side of Christ. Apparently he was convinced of its occult power and its dark history. Within several German command bunkers at the end of the war were found Tibetan monks who had commited sucide. Odd no?
I've studied only a small amount about Tibet, but apparently the notions of morally superior persons is part of Lamanism. The worship of the Dali Lami as the living incarnation of God/Buddha is part of this cult/myth and somewhere within those belief systems probably lies the explanation as to why the obviously evil Nazis came looking to Tibet for common cause for their hate filled racism.
I believe it may be something to do with the "Aryan" invasions that overthrew the older cultures of that region in the 2,000-3,000 B.C. range. I learned in my sociology class in college that India's caste system in particular was created the way it was so that the white invaders would remain in the top castes and interbreed amongst themselves always maintaining the power of their bloodline over others. nazis, as you may know, were fascinated by the sacred Indian texts, and the ideological founder of nazism, Karl Haushofer, spent years in India creating the basis for the racist blood ideology. I learned that from a History channel program about the occult links to nazism.
I will be posting more articles on this subject over time as I learn and read more. But truly, it is very interesting that when you go nazi hunting you end up finding some very strange linkages indeed. That brings to mind the old X-Files motto: Trust No One.

Oh btw, thanks Ruvy for the link to that fascinating article. Good stuff. I remember the contreversy surrounding Seven Years In Tibet when it came out. I watched the movie, and I think I read something about the contreversy either on World Net Daily or some other site. Anyway, it is interesting what gets produced in Hollywood and what seems to get promoted. As to the question of whether or not the creators of the movie knew anything about the connection between the movie's chief character and fascism, I'm not sure. It could easily be passed up as part of the Save Tibet craze in Hollywood at the time, not that saving Tibet is a bad thing. But I find it interesting that there wasn't any save Rwanda movies when the massacre of a million people was going in Africa. Just a thought.

Just Chris,
It's not "just a thought." When you think of the major genocides in the previous Christian century, you see that in each cse, it was not "Aryans" who got killed. First the Armenians got hit, then Jews, then Ibo in Nigeria, then Cambodians, black Christians and animists in Sudan, and most recently the Rwandans in Africa.
