The strongholds of new age philosophy
The man goal of new age techniques or anyhow of alternative medicines, is to promote and spread various disciplines that can contribute to the improvement of the wellness of people’s life.
Although there are a lot of disciplines and techniques that are inspired by this ample movements, with very flexible and not defined boundaries, and that are all looking for techniques that if applied and cultivated in the right measure, can provide the tools for a greater increase in and consciousness of our own self and to obtain the achievement of a greater collective and individual happiness.
One of the strongholds of this philosophy is, in fact, the theory of positive thinking. According to this philosophy, the human mind has some deep and wide powers that can even modify our reality. Every thought, in every moment creates our reality. We are reality-creators, continuously. According to this premise, the reality around us is nothing but an expression of our thought. Giving a positive address to our considerations and attitudes is therefore fundamental, because thoughts and words that we choose to live will be our tomorrow and our goals. Positive thinking so consists in that mental status, fruit also of a cultural elaboration that enables every individual to face with optimism and trust his life’s experience.
The main belief shared by all or almost all new ager (even in the boundless landscape that makes difficult and misleading any excessive scheme) is that our planet and the humanity as a whole (through a process of transformation that is individual) is at the threshold of a spiritual progress along the time line that, if achieved, will allow access to new dimensions of existence or a new form of consciousness.
