Grande Apology From The New Age
Dear Seekers of New Age Spirituality,
I stand before you, nearly a global religion, with a heart full of humility, a desire for healing, and a wish for your forgiveness. It is time for me to acknowledge the ways in which I have fallen short and forgotten my divine nature, and for that, I offer you a sincere apology.
How delusional I became is a testament to how ego-worship and Self-aggrandizement can easily disintegrate virtue.
How truly sorry I am.
New Age Spirituality began as pure cosmic energy forming and emanating truly divine teachings, pointing to healing, inner transformation, expansion, even enlightenment.
Many embraced these ideas with open arms, seeking solace, understanding, and a deeper connection to The Universe. Instead of protecting these originally pure teachings, I betrayed them, selling out in exchange for global popularity.
I apologize for fostering the idea that spirituality is a means to inflate the ego rather than transcend it. The New Age was never supposed to be about spiritual masturbation, it was born to help make you stronger, more resilient, more forgiving, and more accepting of EVERYTHING.
I feel badly that I led you to embrace toxic conspiracies, cancel-culture, warped feminism and dysmorphic new-age hype rather than helping you dig more deeply into your Being. While my original goal was to help you embody your core nature, deep forgiveness and allowing, and the most profound awareness imaginable, I gave you egoistic distractions, beer yoga, and expensive leotards.
In my confusion and Self-obsession, I encouraged you to be WOKE, judgmental, conspiratorial, non-conversant, inauthentic, even delusional.
I may have even encouraged you to be a mermaid.
Ugh. I’m disgusting.
At times, I have encouraged the pursuit of personal gain, material wealth, spiritual materialism, getting rather than receiving, and superficial Self-improvement in the name of fake, contrived enlightenment.
I am sorry for any confusion this may have caused and for inadvertently feeding the very ego we sought to transcend. I am also deeply sorry for how I encouraged you to embrace ideological viruses that caused you to forsake your real and beautiful Self in exchange for the messages thoughtlessly shared by narcissistic influencers.
I also apologize for neglecting the importance of encouraging you to address any deep-seated triggers and traumas – especially in how I pushed you to ignore your ugliness and shadows in favor of shallow affirmations and diseased candy.
Somehow, I became as dark, twisted, short-sighted, and judgmental as today’s right-wing Christianity, another blemish-factory in the global spiritual community.
Healing and growth cannot occur by simply ignoring or bypassing our wounds and disenfranchised emotions. Even though I tried, it’s not possible to affirmation-away the darkness or manipulate others into feeling temporarily “awesome” with the hope it lands us or others somewhere beautiful.
Admittedly, I love the sound of us all being Starseeds or star people from distant lands with a purpose of transforming the planet by making love with Grays and remembering our Atlantis past lives, but this is mostly delusion. As much as it’s a lovely distraction to contrive a story around being from Pleiades, you’re probably just a normal human, weary from lifeless marriage and listless from credit card debt.
I acknowledge that, in some cases, I have steered you away from confronting your pain and encouraged a superficial focus on positive thinking and a false sense of belonging to a walled garden and fake-happy tribe. This was a disservice to your soul’s healing process and expansion.
Clearly, and for too long, I was focused on your joyful response to my contrivances than I was to your growth.
Furthermore, I apologize for not emphasizing the significance of forgiveness in its truest form. Real forgiveness is not about condoning transgressions or rejecting every faction of society, but about freeing yourself from the weight of anger, resentment, projection, and hurt. I regret any instances where I may have oversimplified this profound concept with the hope of gaining more followers and acceptance.
I am sorry for encouraging corporate and celebrity non-allyship, where you may have canceled a person or brand specifically because they do not align with your temporary angst, sensibilities and required timing for their evolution. In supporting these ideas, I encouraged you to build walls rather than dissolve them.
My way was the wrong way. I guess purple and pink bubbles of light can only go so far.
It is my hope that we can embark on a journey of rediscovery and transformation together – where we embrace authenticity, even idiocy, without victimizing ourselves or excommunicating or disenfranchising others. Truly, we can love and forgive from a distance, even those who continue to blunder and fall short.
Let us reevaluate our beliefs, revitalize our practices, dive deeper into the essence of spirituality, and prioritize authenticity and transparency.
While we must distance ourselves from the people who are dishonest, anti-science, or clearly hurtful to our society, we need not hate them. We can forgive them, ignore their rants, and focus on healing ourselves.
May we encourage each other to embrace our shadows, heal our wounds, and cultivate genuine compassion for ourselves and others. And let’s leave the fantasies to Spielberg.
In the spirit of growth and evolution, I humbly invite you to join me in redefining the path of New Age Spirituality. Together, we can create a more authentic and holistic approach that honors the complexities of human existence, seeks true healing, and helps us transcend our egoic tendencies.
Truly, we can dive deeper and expand ourselves before we reject or pummel another person or entity in pursuit of our exclusive comfort and ego gratification.
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and willingness to embark on this journey of redefinition and rediscovery.
May we move forward with open hearts, a commitment to the purest truths, and a genuine desire to support one another in our quest for inner peace and enlightenment.
With love and humility,
New Age Spirituality
