Taking The Woo-Woo Out Of New Age Talk

Many who hear or read New Age concepts will quickly tune out, change the channel or click away. I know because I used to do it. I could have cared less about the great shift for humanity or the next step in our evolution or any other hocus pocus mumbo jumbo. Still here? I am going to attempt to explain “logically” what spiritual enlightenment and our shift to the next level of consciousness means in the simplest terms that I can so maybe more of us will understand that there may some “realness” to it. This will be from my pseudo scientific perspective for all you people from Missouri.

If you’ll stay with me I need to go over a few terms that are commonly used in New Age discussions.

Unity Consciousness

All things evolve and are in a continual state of change. The only constant is change. Plants, animals, stars, suns, the entire universe and of course humans. We evolve together as a species. Humanity has lived in a consciousness of duality. In simple terms this means that we all buy into the same reality that there is good and evil or right and wrong or black and white or even male or female. It’s always in groups of two and opposites. That’s why it is called duality. A component of this is the belief that we are all individuals and stand alone separate from each other and everything. We have in the past all agreed that this is reality.

What new-agers are saying is that we are changing our reality right now. That we, as a species, are evolving into a new consciousness called unity consciousness or Christ consciousness. That’s why it is called the new age. It is the creating of a new reality that behaves from the knowledge that we are one with all things. That we are all made up of the same stuff. That is the reason for the name “unity.” We have preparing for this change for a long time. Buddha, Mohammad and of course Jesus Christ along with many aboriginal cultures have given us these messages to help us transition into a new way of being. That is why some call it Christ consciousness. Some organized religions have chosen not to interpret these masters words from this perspective probably for reasons of power and control.

Whether you believe that this shift in consciousness is happening or not you may be able to concede that some kind of change in our species is possible. I won’t go into any more detail about it here. If you are interested in what changes in human behavior this shift may bring you can check out my N.P.E. series.

I want to get into a explanation of what I believe is happening in real terms to our bodies and minds when this shift or ascension happens. Ascension is another new age term that simply means a step up into the next level of consciousness.

Enlightenment and Vibrations

To explain these new age terms, I ask you to think of the different states of matter. The body is matter. In the first state matter is solid. By adding heat (light) it turns to liquid and with more heat it becomes gas. The human body has two basic components. Biology or put another way a solid carbon mass floating in water and an electro-magnetic field. The elements that make up the universe and everything in it are hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon.

Some of the characteristics that describe a solid are unmoving, separate, un flexible. In our present reality these terms can also apply. We feel we are separate. We have our truths and we stick to them. The molecules of a solid move very slowly creating a lower energetic vibration. Energy or electricity doesn’t flow as well through a solid as it does through a liquid or a gas.

Light is also described as love or warmth. When we awaken to the knowledge that we are one with all things the feelings of unconditional love fill our bodies. We are adding heat. we transform or evolve into a more liquid like state and like a liquid we melt into one. We are no longer separate. We are going with the flow. We become more transparent or honest with ourselves and others. We become more reflective or self examining. Energy flows much easier through a liquid. Less resistance. More allowing. The molecules of a liquid are vibrating faster producing a higher vibration. We are simply allowing more light into our bodies. Becoming en-lightened. Literally emitting a higher electro-magnetic vibration.

Can you hear all the new age terms?

Are we evolving into more fluid beings? Some say that we originated in water. Our planet is mostly water. Our bodies are mostly water. Whales and dolphins who, as some believe, are the highest evolved beings on our planet. The symbol for Jesus was a fish. Are we returning to our true form?

I’m going off on a tangent. Don’t want to lose you now. I’ll save that topic for another time.

All these grand concepts about human evolution that I and others like to toss around can really boil down (pun intended) into simple grade school chemistry. That is the beauty of the universe. Simplicity. There is a mathematical term called Occam’s razor which states that all things being equal the simplest theory is likely to be true.

There’s no mystery to new age spirituality. There is no mystique reserved for the chosen few. We are all in this together. Yesterday’s woo-woo can become today’s reality.

Ok, so this is still pretty woo-woo. I can’t believe you made it to the end of this post! Well done. There are lots more new age terms to discuss.

To be continued …

What Language Will Be Spoken in The New Age

May 1, 2008 · Filed Under Humanity · 3 Comments 

I was watching a video from Google god Matt Cutts the other day and he said there are over 5000 languages on earth of which Google is available in 100 of them. 5000 languages. 5000 different ways to say “hello, goodbye, I love you.” With the awakening of humanity that is happening right now, a topic I have written extensively on, we will know that we are one with all things. How will we communicate with each other. Will it be a universal language? Will it be telepathy?

The spoken word is such a poor way to communicate because it leaves itself open to misinterpretation. It is very difficult to convey feelings. Humans love to confuse things by not speaking their truth. With the next step in our evolution that factor should be gone but describing concepts like the essence of god within or, as I said, communicating feelings will still have it’s downfalls. Throw in the factor of 5000 different ways to say the same things and something will have to change.

I was born on the Canadian prairies where English was and still is the predominant language. I went to school in the 60’s just when Canada was becoming an officially bilingual country. It was mandatory for us to take French. What I was taught was Parisian French which is useless in Canada as Quebecois (French spoken in Quebec) is almost like another language. I always enjoyed French class and loved the romantic sound of the language. Thirty five years later I moved to Quebec. Anyone that knows Canada would say “What the heck are you doing in Quebec?” as Quebec is virtually 100 percent French-speaking.

In the 9 or 10 years that I took French, I learned a lot of nouns and verbs but the people in Quebec can’t understand them when I try to talk so I have to learn French again almost from scratch if I want to communicate any more than hello, goodbye and I love you. My communication consists of a lot of hand gesturing and body language. Deep conversations of the ones I enjoy are almost impossible. but I love Quebec and the Quebecois people so I am determined to learn French.

I spent last winter in Mexico. I left a place where I talked like a two year old, nouns and verbs in present tense, to a place where I had even less knowledge of the words spoken.

I found Spanish to be much easier for me to pronounce words as each letter is pronounced. In French there can be a 10 letter word where you only pronounce the first 3. I am unable to talk fluently in French or Spanish but it’s been fun thinking in English and saying si or oui or gracias or merci. I would walk down the street in Mexico saying bonjour then come back to Quebec and say hola. I was confused. How do people that know multiple languages do it?

It made me think about what the next step in language and communication will be on the New Planet Earth.

Maybe this is the future for language.  Speaking them all!
