I was a guest on Brenden Weber's podcast The Philosophy Guy, where we had an excellent discussion about the pros and cons of what is collectively labeled as "The New Age Movement."

Right now, what we have in our relationship to ourselves and each other is largely a Dark Order, the maintaining of a chaotic state of fear-based repression of Self because the Mind is in an anarchistic state. The belief in the religions called Government, Money, and Authority is strengthened by fear of Chaos, and so we have a negative feedback loop where more fear leads to more control and less personal freedom.
