That it is mostly doctrinal and contrived, just as the previous religions and churches were (and still are). Many folks who escaped the modern churches, to find themselves in the new-age movement(s), was in seeking out people and groups that were sympathetic to their causes for self-realization and self-sufficiency. My, how they were, again, betrayed by the glowing promises!

THAT is why a few of us out there, have gone on to our own personal journeys, after assaying “both sides” of the religious issue, and have come to terms that nearly ALL of the mass-religions are about control of the individual, and the abnegation of individuality. Sometimes it can be a long, hard road, and a scary path, but filled with amazing experiences and new discoveries (about ourselves). It is from that moment onward, when we take the “helm” of our own lives, and become as our own pilot and navigator, that we begin the road to recovering our own expression of personal power.

So,

Let the “book-throwers” cast at me, as they may and surely will! For I care not of their trivialities. Their systems of thought-control, impress me not!
