Jeff Brown, Spiritual Graffiti sums up perfectly something that I wanted to share with you all today: "New Cage Movement; a term to describe the more ungrounded, dangerous and simplistic elements of the New Age movement, including but not limited to: wishful thinking mantras, spiritual bypass and premature forgiveness practices, superficial healing techniques, the perpetual denial of common sense realities, and the insistence on inflated, fantastical perspectives - "Everything is an illusion", "it's all perfect", "there are no victims", "anger is a sub-standard emotion", "everything that happens is meant to be", "all judgements are bad", "you choose every experience and circumstance", "your personal identifications are inherently false", "just ask the Universe for what you want" . . . These perspectives have their place, in certain circumstances but taken too far, as they often are, become a prison of their own making, locking humanity in with its unresolved pain, obstructed from doing the real work by the addictive flights of fancy.
