this sounds so much like buddahism, where you quell all earthly desire to attain nivarna, or something like that. or that movie in star trek we are the borg you will be assimulated. this new age stuff sounds like the old in a new package. if your thoughts brought you good or bad surly I would be dead by now as my thoughts over the years have been one of negative and unhappiness due to my health problems. so obviously your thoughts do not manifest in reality unless it is something you actually act on to make it happen if it is even possible to do so. yoga where you empty your mind of all thoughts (thus holding a blank?) do you know jesus used a illustration of how demons will occupy homes that are swept clean and empty. he was referring of course to our minds and hearts, if we dont put something good into it surly the demons will be very happy to put something bad into it. we must control our minds otherwise someone else will do it for us and they most likly will not have our best at heart.

It’s difficult to say much “positive” about New Age philosophies except that the rush of Lemmings in those directions clearly demonstrates a Journey that isn’t worth making by half… but does provide humorous drama for Watchers. Mind control within the Matrix produces nothing except more illusion and delusion when the real goal is to be free of the Monkey-mind that believes that stuff in the first place. Consciousness is the requirement for any real Spiritual advancement and the Way to it has been clearly established throughout history, thus, old school remains the only way for those who expect to make miracles happen.

While I disagree with Rappoport on several points, there is one area in which I do agree. We cannot purge our mind of all negative thoughts, and to attempt to monitor every thought and change it would be exhausting and prevent one from doing anything else. The Law of Attraction does work–whether we believe in it or not, whether we attract “good” or “bad” into our lives, it does work. Just as we can learn from other universal laws and achieve the seemingly impossible, so we can by studying and practicing Law of Attraction techniques. Throughout most of history we were told that man could not fly. When the law of gravity was “discovered” many learned individuals used it as proof that we could not fly. It was because people decided to believe in the possibility of something that they were able to make it so. We do not need to monitor every thought. We do need to focus our attention on what we want to achieve and receive into our lives–and yes, there may be actions that we need to take as well. The Law of Attraction is hardly passive. Flight did not happen only with thought; flight happened because of inspired action that was in alignment with the thought.

Congrats on your blog! This post hits the nail on the head! 🙂 It is true that it is very difficult not to say impossible to control all our thoughts.. These kinds of new age gurus are sitting on a grey area in which is very hard to argue with them.. To me, to have good feelings with regards to your thoughts is the key to achieve or become in whatever someone wants to.. Do you agree with me?

All the best

Anonymous, The “LOVE” I referred to above has nothing to do with the “New Age”, but more to do with AGAPE & a genuine respect for others via the “Golden Rule”. From my point of view, the “New Age” movement became a dogmatic & misguided control/belief system that became quite distorted. Unfortunately, it gave “real love” a bad rap…The Dalai Lama says it best when he refers to “Lovingkindness”…Yes, awareness is crucial…

People talk about creativity and love, but no one talks about truth and justice. You talk about power and choice, but you don’t talk about goodness and righteousness. I’m convinced it’s because the latter in each case are not in you, and you cannot comprehend them. Yes, the New Age Hustle, as I call it, is a joke. But you have not offered a proper alternative.

And I always thought opposites attract, like in electrical currents. You need a plus and a minus to make it work.

Darwin was a tool, and you can’t have the ‘good’ without the ‘bad’. That doesn’t reek of duality, it is duality. This is what we’re dealing with on our beautiful planet. Trying to transcend duality in our present circumstances is a fool’s errand in my opinion.

Think your trillion thoughts, discard and choose. But, mind you, not all your thoughts are your own.

It is standard practice for aspirants to social control to insist on everyone being “positive” and participating endlessly in group activity; i.e., subsuming individual initiative in groups, which inevitably compromises the functioning of personal will. In fact, individuality (which is basically another word for freedom) is protected only when the possibility of negativity is assured.

Not that there is anything wrong with associating in groups–as long as the “negative” right to contract out exists. The international order reveals its collectivist conspiratorial pedigree by the consistency and relentlessness of its attacks upon this precious right
