You know, I used to believe in all those things about 2012 and aliens and spiritual warfare and such, but now I'm rethinking... many of these teachings are based on channeled sources (Astral/celestial realms) which are then filtered through the channeler's egos. Others are just normal researchers digging for information and piecing facts together and inserting their opinions to make a coherent story. While definitely very true-sounding and exciting, the fact remains that none of the sources are truly enlightened and speak from a fully enlightened point of view, i.e. they may have had satoris or taken ayahuasca and gotten glimpses of the ultimate reality, but it is not complete.
I firmly stand by David Hawkin's calibrations (since he's enlightened and has done millions of calibrations), and in Truth vs. Falsehood he lays a lot of "new age astral circus" myths to rest. I don't have the book with me, but I remember some of the calibrations:
New Age: 180ish
conspiracy theories: 180
mayan calendar theories: false
ETs: false
UFOs: false
One thing is that it is unclear what was held in mind during the calibration, so further research can be done. However, in general, this pretty much dispels most of the pop spirituality stuff out there.
There were a lot of other important calibrations but I forgot, they're in the "Spiritual" section if someone has the book and can post some of them up.  |
