In Northern California, India -- almost everywhere -- one is inundated by "New Ageyness." One can not even buy groceries at stores without being marketed to about a "consciousness philosophy." Coaching and mindfulness courses have soared. It has become part of the Zeitgeist.... If astrology can't give you the answer, this workshop surely can.... Along with various other degrees amassed, you are offered courses on becoming a reiki master or shaman....
You spend time and money to get to the next level -- of healing or fulfillment.
Instead of God Bless you, New Age people sign letters and salutations with "blessings," leading one to believe they need to live a life of near-constant bliss. Being frustrated is frowned upon -- one is led to believe in being equanimous always -- making oneself wrong for getting mad -- or more frustrated for getting pissed off at the person who cut you off in traffic.
You try to love everyone unconditionally... if only you could open your heart more....
India (as well as many other "spiritual hotspots") are full of those seeking the next spiritual fix -- there are endless groups, workshops and gurus (arguably itself a vestige of the past) promising more and more spiritual growth.
At the end of the spiritual path, it becomes more about Freedom from the spiritual path, not with what we conceive the spiritual path to be.
If you have grown weary of all the bullshit and you want to come to know the Truth -- What Is Here Already -- Always Has been -- Your True Nature -- Life Itself --
... get in touch.
Punjaji said "we have this idea that 'by practice' we shall become free. Such a person is postponing his freedom. We become enlightened in this instant only and not as a result of ten years of practice. Freedom is available Now."
