Practices & Beliefs of New Agers

There’s no way to cover the broad range of values and practices associated with New Age spirituality in a single blog post. Since New Age thinking is so nuanced, flexible, and special to each individual practitioner, it’s unlikely that someone will make a blanket assertion about the New Age religion that wouldn’t be questioned by anyone pointing out significant exceptions.

https://www.digistore24.com/redir/300003/JadeBet/

Pantheism, for example, is a common New Age belief held by many, but not all.
Of course, this is the perspective that God is everything and everything is God.
(In this view, God is immanent but not transcendent.)
As a result, the real God is the world itself—all of nature—and there is no legitimate distinction between the Creator and life.

Panentheism, the idea that God is in everything and everything is in God, is held by other New Agers. The distinction is that panentheists believe in divine transcendence, in which God is conceived as Someone or (more likely) something—an impersonal force—greater than the cosmos.

In either case, the New Age idea of God is based on monism rather than biblical monotheism. Of course, the Bible teaches that God is separate from his conception, and the New Testament depicts Him as a Trinity—three distinct divine Persons who are one in essence. He is immanent in the sense that he pervades and sustains the whole universe. But He is also completely transcendent—unattached to, not a member of, and unaffected by the material universe’s limits.

Monism, on the other hand, asserts that God and the world are one and the same (or one substance, or energy, or principle). In effect, monism removes not only the fundamental distinction between Creator and creation, but also all important distinctions between different kinds of beings. In the end, the human and the universe are the same. All creatures, including God, are, in the end, one with the world.

One of the main distinctions between New Age spirituality and traditional gnosticism is the belief in monism. The majority of Gnostics were dualists, claiming that everything in the world can be reduced to two basic, opposing realities: mind and matter, good and bad, spirit and flesh, yin and yang, or whatever. New Age spirituality is a form of neo-gnosticism that combines early gnostic esotericism with hand-picked beliefs and superstitions from ancient gnostic sources, but blends them with a fundamental commitment to monism.

As a result, peace, global solidarity, and the oneness of all things are stressed in New Age spirituality. All that has ever been or will ever be is capable of being harmonized if it all flows from a single energy source.

As a result, the ideas of bad, sin, and salvation have no place in New Age thinking.
The therapeutic vocabulary of addiction and rehabilitation, positive energy, holistic wellbeing, and the philosophy of love as a tolerant and always-affirming state of mind have all taken their place (rather than the more biblical concept of love as the giving of oneself for another).

The New Age movement’s favorite term for the metaphysical side of monism is holism.
In layman’s terms, holism refers to the belief that the entirety of a complex system is greater than the sum of its parts. A holistic thinker believes that the best way to analyze something is to look at it as a whole, rather than breaking it down and analyzing the pieces. New Agers extend this idea to the whole world, which they believe is God according to their monistic beliefs. The aim of New Age spirituality is to become one with the universe (or rather, to appreciate one’s true oneness) and thus be in harmony with God.

As a result of this equilibrium, the spiritual force is said to be released through the New Ager’s own experience. The purpose and object of New Age spirituality is empowerment like this. One practitioner put it this way: “It’s all about reclaiming the strength in New Age Spirituality. It’s not like you’ve ever been without it. You may have given away your influence, lost it, or forgotten you had it in the first place.”

The methods by which this empowerment is accomplished are as varied as the history of human superstition. Various New Age practitioners have openly borrowed from almost every supernatural and magical source imaginable, ranging from ancient religions like Zoroastrianism to contemporary science fiction. Synthesized music, health food, natural medicine, incense, aromatherapy, candles, and crystals are all tools of the trade for New Age practitioners. (Because they vibrate at a steady frequency, crystals are thought to aid in achieving cosmic harmony.)

Other features of New Age spirituality much darker mystical activities, such as tarot cards, divination, the use of magical potions and incantations, numerology, graphology, and, of course, astrology, are all traditional aspects of New Age spirituality.
Mediums that channel “spirit guides” who claim to be angels are popular among New Age practitioners. (The New Age movement’s superstitious fascination with angels and other spirit entities, rather than any mainstream interest in biblical teaching about angelic behavior, is largely responsible for the ubiquitous angel-themed greeting-card and gift-shop paraphernalia.) Many believers of the New Age Wicca (a modern form of witchcraft), spiritism, shamanism, Sufism, meditation, Druidism, and other aspects of neopaganism have all been explored. Several well-known Hindu and Buddhist doctrines, such as reincarnation, karma, the chakra, and Nirvana, have also been borrowed, modified, and popularized by New Agers. These concepts are often mixed with quasi-Christian and gnostic imagery, giving New Age spirituality a biblical ring. (For some New Agers, Celtic Christianity is a favorite source.)

https://www.digistore24.com/redir/378465/JadeBet/

New Age spirituality jumps back and forth between supernatural, Gnostic, and pagan themes. It seems to favor “alternative” religious beliefs and fringe religious theories, which are heavily borrowed, modified, and adapted from different sources.

However, this does not make New Agers demonic or even evil. Just because they believe in different ways then you does not mean that they are wrong. It makes them unique. Always looking for more than what they were taught, more than themselves.

Amazon’s “Lord of the Rings” TV Show

pixabay.com

Are you a fan of “The Lord of the Rings”? Are you aware of a TV show being developed by Amazon?

Check this out.

J. R. R. Tolkien’s novel The Lord of the Rings will be the basis for a new television series.
It is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth before the events of the Lord of the Rings novel and films, and was created by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay for the streaming service Prime Video. The series is created by Amazon Studios in collaboration with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins, and New Line Cinema.

We’ve already had two film trilogies based on Tolkien’s literary universe – one of which is clearly superior to the other – but this is the first time a live-action TV show based on Tolkien’s literary universe has been attempted.

Although its premiere is still a ways off, there’s plenty of details about its cast, production, possible storyline, setting, and other aspects to consider online.
The most recent details come from an interview with cast member Morfydd Clark, who hinted at the possibility of additional seasons if Lord of the Rings season 1 is as successful as Amazon hopes.

Below, you’ll find sections devoted to the most interesting news and rumors, such as a potential release date, other casting news, and more.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into Amazon’s Lord of the Rings.

Release date:

If filming is completed within the next few months, the TV show will premiere in Q4 2021. If Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series premiered during the winter TV season, it would be well-timed. On December 10, it will be 20 years since The Fellowship of the Ring was released in theaters, so scheduling the Lord of the Rings TV premiere for that date will be a nice touch. But it all, depends on how long the filmmaking process takes.

Morfydd Clark, who will play a young Galadriel in Amazon’s Lord of the Rings adaptation, recently spoke with Esquire about her role in the adaptation. Clark said she would be filming in New Zealand for “a few months” before returning to the United States. Clark also seems to have admitted that she was signed on for five seasons of Amazon’s production, which corresponds to rumors that Amazon has a five-season plan in place.

Cast:

Morfydd Clark (young Galadriel)

Simon Merrells (Trevyn)

Markella Kavenagh (Tyra)

Lloyd Owen (Loda)

Will Poulter (Beldor)

Joseph Mawle (Oren)

Additionally, Amazon Studios revealed 20 additional cast members for the Lord of the Rings TV show in December (h/t Deadline).
Sir Lenny Henry, Maxim Baldry from Years and Years, Maxine Cunliffe from Divinity, Trystan Gravelle from A Discovery of Witches, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson from Strength. There are key Second Age players, including elven High King Gil-galad, elven smith Celebrimbor, dwarf King Durin III, and Numenorian King Elendil, who haven’t had their castings revealed yet either. (Also see article on msn.com, see Sources/Further Reading below for link).

Events That Could Be Seen on the Show:

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of Sauron will be set during Middle-Second Earth’s Age, which lasted nearly 3,500 years and ended with Sauron’s defeat at the hands of a human-elf alliance. Since this is the fight that opens Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, it’s likely that we’ll see it adapted again in the Amazon series at some point.

Possible: The Rise Of Númenor, Sauron Forging The One Ring, Sauron Settles In Mordor, Sauron’s War and the Elves, Elrond Building Rivendell, Origins of The Ringwraiths, Fall Of Númenor, Isildur’s Heroics & Foundations of Gondor, The Last Alliance, and so much more.

How many seasons are there?:

According to a 2018 report from IGN, Amazon has committed to creating five seasons of its Lord of the Rings series. Just two of those seasons have been greenlit as of November 2019, according to a GameSpot report. Future installments seem to be dependent on the Tolkien estate as well, with Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey stating in a 2019 Engadget article that the author’s estate has the power to veto anything that deviates too far from Middle-Earth’s lore.

How much did it cost to make?

For the rights to adapt J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings into an epic TV series for its Amazon Prime Video streaming service, Amazon paid hundreds of millions of dollars.
The site has also committed to five seasons of the show, indicating that this is a significant, long-term commitment. And now we’re getting a sense of how significant the investment is.

“Amazon is going to spend around $650 million in season one alone,” says Minister for Economic Development and Tourism Stuart Nash, according to an article in Morning Report (via The Hollywood Reporter) about the investment Amazon is making in New Zealand to film the project there. The figure is in New Zealand dollars; when translated to US dollars, it equals $465 million for only one season of the show. Season 1 is expected to cost about $58 million per episode, based on the eight episodes scheduled.
(To put it in perspective, The Fellowship of the Ring cost about $90 million.)

Amazon would be eligible for a tax rebate from the New Zealand government, which could be significant in the region of $100 million considering the scale of the volume.
Even with the rebate, you’re still looking at one of the most expensive television shows ever produced. The Lord of the Rings might be a $1 billion television series if Amazon produces five seasons on this scale.

Resident Evil Film Reboot Has An Official Title

It seems that we’ve been approaching the Resident Evil reboot incorrectly.
In terms of the film’s title, at least. The official title for the upcoming Resident Evil film is Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, according to director Johannes Roberts, as confirmed by IGN during an interview at SXSW’s online event.

Roberts also revealed a few new details about the film, which will be released in theaters this September. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will adapt the first two Resident Evil games, and will feature main characters from both games, as we’ve known for a while.

Welcome to Raccoon City, like the original game, will take place in the year 1998 and tell the story of Raccoon City under siege by zombies. The Spencer Mansion and the Raccoon City Police Department will both appear in the film, as we’ve known for a while.

IGN also managed to grab a brief interview with Roberts, who said that he wanted to concentrate on the film’s tone. “The thing I loved about the games is they were just scary as hell and that is very much what I wanted. That atmosphere — it’s rain, it’s constantly dark, it’s creepy. Raccoon City is kind of this rotten character in the movie and that sort of atmosphere in the games I wanted to put in [the film].”

Not only that, but Roberts claims that he got the feel for Welcome to Raccoon City by seeing John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 and The Fog. “I’m a huge John Carpenter fan and I really took to that. The way he tells these claustrophobic siege movies and I took movies like Assault on Precinct 13 and The Fog and these disparate group of characters coming together under siege, and I took that as my filmic inspiration.”

On November 24, 2021, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will be released in theaters. Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen, Robbie Amell, Tom Hopper, Avan Jogia, and Neal McDonough are among the cast members.

Scientists May Have Found a Way to Resurrect the Dead – Really!

Photo by Ahmed Adly on Pexels.com

Through the theoretical use of a megastructure called a Dyson Sphere, science has found a way to make immortality possible by booting up our past selves.

Through the discovery and operation of the Dyson Sphere megastructure, science has recently discovered a potential way for our consciousness to live on even after our bodies have died.

According to Popular Mechanics, the sphere megastructure is the agent responsible for telling a future AI (artificial intelligence) source the “historical and personal data” required to “create an exact digital copy” of us, similar to the “San Junipero” episode of Black Mirror, which centered on a world where our consciousness is uploaded to a database.

Transhumanist and life extensionist Alexey Turchin has been working on “Plan C” of a “Immortality Roadmap” project since 2014.The Russian scientist collaborated with researcher Maxim Chernyakov on these recent findings. Turchin became interested in the afterlife after witnessing the tragic death of a fellow classmate when he was 11 years old. “I began to think in science-fiction terms about what could be done,” the scientist said, influenced by the experience.

Turchin was inspired to join the Russian Transhumanist Movement in 2007, which aims to “transcend their existing physical and mental limits” through technology. Turchin has been “proactively documenting” his day-to-day life since joining the party.
Turchin has transcribed or captured everything from visions to everyday conversations as part of his “ubiquitous surveillance” practice.

However, a research fellow previously claimed that this finding would take a long time because of the impracticality of powering the megastructure. “The tensile strength needed to keep the Dyson Sphere from tearing itself apart greatly exceeds that of any known material,” Stuart Armstrong previously said. Humans are currently unable to construct such a structure, but the blueprint exists. Although some scientists question the time and effort required to implement this, Fordham University physics professor Stephen Holler warned that the copy might not be exactly what they expect.

“I don’t think you could subject somebody to the same developmental conditions they had in life, because that presupposes you know all their developmental conditions, from the guy who picked on that person that day when they were very young to what day the person received that award.” Holler said.

“It’s you up to the point where you download it,” he concluded, a sobering fact about the new study of immortality. He continued, “After that, it evolves into a different person. It becomes a new entity. The digital copy will always be divergent from the biological copy.”

Offspring of Angels & Women

Photo by Fabian Reitmeier on Pexels.com

Gen 6:4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them.  Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

There are those that would have you believe that “the sons of God” are from the Seth bloodline, but this makes no sense at all. For the Seth bloodline would still be human and the relationship between them would not produce Nephilim (half human/half angel). However, it makes much more sense, that the “sons of God” were fallen angels. For they would be “sons of God” and NOT “children of God”. In Mark 16:5, it states that angel can appear physical human form, which seems like shapeshifting to me; they can also possess people. For demons are not the only ones that can possess others.

And lets not forget, that the Book of Enoch speaks about this very same subject: “ENOCH 6:1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.’ And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: ‘I fear ye will not 4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.’ And they all answered him and said: ‘Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations 5 not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.’ Then swore they all together and bound themselves 6 by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon.(From The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, translated by R.H. Charles)”

Also in 1 of the Dead Sea Scrolls, called Genesis Apocryphon it makes a reference to the angels interbreeding with human women. This text contains a conversation between Lamech (Noah’s father) & his wife Bathenosh;  he questions her because he thinks that the conception of Noah was due to either an angel or one of the nephilim (their offspring).  This, as well as The Book of Enoch & The Book of Jubilees, prove the the people of this time period knew about what happened between The Fallen and human women.

Now, the word nephilim means giant. There are countless myths that speak of giants throughout the world and stories of demigods; like the Titans, Hercules, Perseus, Achilles, Hanuman, Garuda, Gilgamesh, Adapa, and so many more stories and legends.

I could go on & on about the “sons of God” being fallen angels, but lets end it here.

Is There Anybody Out There?

Question: Are we alone?

Answer: No, we are not alone. We NEVER have been! And NEVER will be!

Have you ever wondered if there was anybody out there. If it is just us. If there are different extraterrestrials out there. Like in so many TV shows and movies.
If so than continue to read this post.

The Vastness of Outer Space

The universe is very vast or huge. How big is it? According to NASA, no body knows the true size of the universe. However, the galaxy GN-Z11 is 13.4 billion light years from Earth and is believed to be the oldest galaxy. That is a very huge gap between there and Earth.

Wow Signal & Like Signals

According to some, there has been no signals detected, so the conclusion is there are no aliens. However, that is not the case. SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) picked up a signal in August 15, 1977, picked up this signal; that didn’t come from Earth, not background noise, lasted 72 seconds. However, the origin of this signal is unknown. Then in 2010, a new “Wow” like signal was detected, coming from the area of a star named: TYC 1220-91-1, that likely contain information and didn’t repeat. So there are alien civilizations out there. And perhaps, we are on the wrong frequency or there technology is far more advanced than radio.

The Drake Equation

Unknown

    – N: The number of civilizations with which we might be able to communicate.       

  – R*: The average rate of star formation in our galaxy.       

– fi: The fraction of life-developing planets that actually do develop intelligent life.       

– fc: The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.       

– L: The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.      

  – fp: The fraction of stars which, after formation, have 1 or more planets       

– ne: The average number of planets that can potentially develop life, per star which has 1 or more planets.       

– f: The fraction of planets that actually do develop life.

    – fi: The fraction of life-developing planets that actually do develop intelligent life.      

  – fc: The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.       

– L: The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.

From Where
Throughout history people have reported visitations. But from where? From another planet or one of the infinite number of dimensions that exist. And if so then what beings exist in these dimensions or planets? And are there pathways leading to these dimensions? Be they parallel, ultra, etc. Or a different timeline.

Here are a few TV shows/movies with aliens:

Aliens, Predator, Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Stargate, Farscape, Marvel Cinematic Universe, & more.

Conclusion
Most can only speculate on the existence of intelligent life, but some believe this is fact. Where did we come from? Who created us? Why were we created? For what purpose? Why? So many questions! I guess it comes down to what you believe. But think about this: in the words of Carl Sagan, “The Universe is pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” Which was also in the movie “Contact” & there is a researcher who also said a version of this. And this is true, if its just us than why is the universe so vast, so huge.

So, what do you believe?

Supernaturalism

Photo by Erik Mclean on Pexels.com

What is Supernatural?

Supernaturalism is a belief in an otherworldly realm or reality that, in 1 way or another is commonly associated with all forms of religion.

It has been around for a very very long time, in one form or another. In both main stream religion & paganism, in movies and TV shows, books, & so much more.

It can easily be combined with religion & philosophy, and sometimes science.

Brief History:In the beginning of the “1880s, when British researchers such as Frederic Myers, Oliver Lodge, Richard Hodgson, and William James applied their scientific backgrounds to the psychic realm, using “Mrs. Piper,” a famous medium of the era, as their favorite subject. A new generation of scholars investigated supernaturalism in the early years of the 20th century followed by yet another group of researchers after World War I, with the methods of testing telepathy and clairvoyance considered widely improved.” About the mid-1930s, some 40 experimental studies wereon psychic research. The results were mixed &  no definitive proof of anything. The only thing that could be agreed on was that more research was needed.

Thus the research continues.

Many anthropologists believe that having beliefs in the supernatural, explains things that don’t have any logical answer.

Some TV shows within this subject:

Supernatural

The Vampire Diaries/The Originals/Legacies

Sanctuary

Constantine

Hellboy

Helstrom

The X-Files

Sleepy Hollow

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/

Angel

Charmed

etc.

Conclusion:

There are many weird/strange events & beliefs. Many unexplained/unsolved mysteries throughout history, that continues to happen in the world. Thus, supernaturalism has been and will continue to be apart of our lives.

Thoughts on “Bound” & Free-Roaming Beings

Photo by Farzad Sedaghat on Pexels.com

Bound and unbound spirits do exist.

“Bound” spirits are spirits that are too dangerous to allow to roam free and had to be locked away. Unbound spirits are free to roam where ever they wish.

Bound spirits like really dark ones that could destroy worlds or whole groups of people, that could bring about or cause an apocalypse. Some people that are several Fallen Angels that have bee bound or locked away.

Unbound spirits like ghosts, guardians, light spirits, even demons that are not too dark all roam the planet and other dimensions/worlds/realities, and can go & do whatever.
