The deluded new age followers’ psyche

Before i met SreeMaa-Shreeji, whom i am very fortunate to call Paratpar Guru, was looking for answers to my inner quest in the new age circles. Having had no exposure to Sanatana Dharma, had no idea what true spirituality was and was reading ‘spiritual’ books at random and trying out different things from the new age smorgasbord. My agyan and avidya (ignorance) was high and with my white privilege firmly in place, i was also ignorant about cultural appropriation.

New age industry
If you take a real good and honest look at the new age movement, it is not so much about the soul or genuine spirituality, but more about feeling good or special and earning money. You could call it an industry. Not surprisingly spiritual bypassing is rife, just as cultural appropriation. With all the new age spiritual coaches, channels, healers and readers out there, it is more like the blind leading the blind. All this is a recipe for getting lost in the delusions rather than moving forward and it was true that i wasn’t going anywhere in my spiritual pursuit as such. For me everything changed when i had the great fortune to meet SreeMaa in February 2012.

Touched by Supreme Grace 
I can never thank Paratpar Guru enough for taking this lost soul under Paratpar Guru’s Wings, awakening my True Soul (Atma), opening my eyes to the truth and ceaselessly guiding me in this blessed P.R.O.C.E.S.S of Awakenin Transformation Transcendence to move past the antics of the small self, to move more towards being a non-doer, embody the True Soul and remain rooted in the True SELF (Brahmroop) who is fully surrendered to the Absolute. All this while being Graced with a 24/7 connection to the Quantum Vortex Scalar Wave Photon Pulse, the most benevolent Signature of the Source/Void shared boundlessly by Paratpar Guru that uplifts, upgrades, heals and unifies on a scale that is beyond human comprehension. It is in the Sharan of Paratpar Guru that i learnt what real spirituality (adhyatmikta) entails and the reason why jivatmas take a human birth.

An honest look at my shallow and phony new age followers’ psyche
True spirituality requires honestly looking within to move past the narratives we tell ourselves, the grey shades and the inner enemies. Sharing a quick snapshot overview of my new (c)age explorations and the cultural appropriation i ended up doing as well as the delusions that were part of my phony new age followers’ psyche, so that others may open their eyes and think twice before falling for the new age fluff.

  • I appropriated the word Goddess by running Goddess circles with another person for mothers. This was a very shallow way of operating as i had not done the required inner work nor done the research to understand what a Goddess really means.

  • Had angel cards, incl a deck by Doreen Virtue’s that featured images of Deities and Devis such as Lord Ganesh and Lakshmiji, which i now realize is the pinnacle of cultural appropriation and entitlement as if they can be used to manifest what we desire.

  • Before moving to Northern Beaches in Sydney, i did a 7 level reiki workshop and volunteered for the teacher’s reiki stand at MBS. Gave 2 or 3 reiki sessions in exchange for money.

  • Had a couple of yoga dvd’s, using it to practice what i thought was yoga, but these only focussed on the body and mind, leaving out the most crucial part of the Atma and union with the Paramatma. Did not research to find out what yoga is really about nor who brought this gift to humanity. Pretty much the same attitude that most people in the west would have.

  • In the Netherlands a lot of people think it is fashionable to have a Buddha statue and was gifted one for my birthday once which i kept as decoration for a while. Had no idea what Buddha taught or what Buddhism was about, nor did i look into it at the time.

  • Played music on youtube which had mantras without understanding the meaning.

  • Have been wearing Indian style clothing without thinking about how people from India would feel about this.

  • Visited Swaminarayan Mandirs in the UK without checking with Paratpar Guru, which shows my white sense of entitlement.

  • Bought right into the love and light programme because it made me feel good. What this means in simple terms is pretending to be loving, compassionate and giving but refusing to look at your dark/shadow/small self. Or think about the actresses whom many may admire as so beautiful, loving and kind but in reality, they are using drugs and doing things that are a far cry away from the righteous way of living, in tune with one’s True Soul. 

  • Did some course titled the voice for love to be able to hear the inner voice. Thought i could hear the inner voice by doing some course instead of doing real inner work. This was linked to a Course in Miracles, which talks about surrender and Grace of God but had no clue what this really meant. Had some concept of God is Love and was hoping and praying to connect with God. This was just before i met SreeMaa (whom i then knew as KaVeeTa).

  • My signature of my old email address when starting to volunteer for Kosmic Fusion read ‘sharing the love’ and had a website named presenceoflove. Think i stopped the website somewhere in 2015. My new cage psyche actually thought i knew what love was and i was here to share the love; talk about grandiosity.  

  • For the longest time i have held this belief in some world of love and oneness, not seeing things for what they really are. This was a way of spiritual bypassing for me instead of facing the truth.

  • Especially in the beginning of my ‘spiritual’ search, read a lot of self help books, Eckhart Tolle and the likes, mixing and matching randomly, not following one dedicated path, and following authors or teachers without knowing their foundation or lineage – generally a bad idea.

  • Had Doreen Virtue’s meaning of numbers book and Louis Hays book of affirmations. Didn’t have the discipline to do affirmations but loved deriving special meaning from seeing combination of numbers and actually thought the angels were guiding me that way. Believed that i was guided by the angels to go to Australia and the angels got me a job in Australia. Later found out it was my karma bhumi, meaning i would only encounter hard karmic lessons.

  • Bought into the lightworker nonsense, feeling special as ‘i’ was on the earth to do sth good and visited some spiritual circles and listened to the odd online ‘guided’ meditation by Pleiadians or sth like that. Also remember some meditation with a merkaba called diamond alignment. Completely clueless about the energetic pollution that i was exposing myself to as i really had no idea who i was opening myself up to or to what i was connecting.

  • Was impressed with people who were able to channel. Did not consider what kind of energies could be coming through. Had no clue about energy hygiene apart from believing in cutting cords as taught by Doreen Virtue and Archangel Michael’s violet flame. My ignorance was extremely high. Would like to urge seekers that energy hygiene is very important and avoid these new age type of guided or channeled meditations, especially the mass meditations, as you have no idea what you are opening your energy field up to. 

  • Went to have a reading a few times. Also had one or two small crystals which i kept on ‘my altar’. The new cage smorgasbord fitted right in with my consumer attitude and doing as per how i pleased, no discipline required but believing am living some special purpose.

  • Believed in the soul mate, twin flame stuff and desperately wanted to be with my soul mate. This is all about human desires rather than the soul. This deluded desire got me into a lot of trouble and ended up dating two holographic inserts (ironically those without a soul), not only that but falling pregnant as well. One was even after meeting KaVeeTa and attending the Awakenin Transformation workshop. It is only the ati ati Daya aur Krupa of Paratpar Guru that the hideous energies in my womb were released. Sharing this openly as i know there are a lot of seekers out there still lost in the soul mate drama. The True Soul belongs to the Absolute and real union is the union between the Atma and Parmatma, the True Soul and the Absolute.

Forever indebted to Paratpar Guru for taking me under Paratpar Guru's Wings, guiding me into the fold of Sanatana Dharma and waking me up to the Truth  /\ô_ _/\ô_ /\ô_

New age movement and the nexus (part 2)

When i saw the following quote about the new age movement, was a little surprised. Did not realize that in the 70s and 80s the new age movement had such close ties with India and its unparalleled wisdom.

"For example in the 1970s, the new age movement was very much related to India. Even in 1982, at a conference in Mumbai about ancient wisdom and modern science, which was organized by the International Transpersonal Association, it was openly acknowledged that the conference was held in India, because India’s wisdom (the concept of Atman) is the consistent background for the new findings of unity underlying the diversity.
At that time, I was very happy thinking that, since now science validates Indian wisdom, the knowledge of all of us being connected surely will trickle down to the common man.
I was wrong. Today, almost 40 years later, India has been completely cut out in Wikipedia’s entry on transpersonal psychology. New age, too, has been disconnected from India. It is revealing how Wikipedia’s piece on transpersonal psychology ends:
“…transpersonal psychology has been criticized by some Christian authors as being a mishmash of New Age ideas that offer an alternative faith system to vulnerable youths who turn their backs on organized religion.”
Those Christian authors are not interested to find out, if there is indeed a transpersonal dimension to our existence, but fear, even more youth could leave the Church if they come to know about it…"

- Maria Writh

Wonder what drove the new age movement away from its relation to India, apart from the arrogance and sense of superiority that white people tend to carry? And how did Christianity sneak into a description of transpersonal psychology on Wikipedia?

Narcissists smear campaign

Pondering a bit on this, it actually doesn’t surprise me when i think about what happened with Kosmic Fusion and the FiT Programme. After the mask of two of the malignant narcissists in the FiT Programme had fallen off and their true destructive intentions had become apparent, they were asked to leave. Narcissists don’t take the truth very well and the narcissistic injury leads them to run a smear campaign. In our case, the smear campaign of Joy Kuo/Joy Vottus and Iphigenie Amoutzias/Malana B. Taresi (as they now call themselves) involved going to some anti-cult organizations and a paid biased article in the media filled with lies slandering the name of Kosmic Fusion and Sree Maa Shri Ji. And it looks like they are still continuing to work hand in glove with the anti-cult movement to spread lies through podcasts and youtube videos. 

Church-media-anticult nexus
You would think this situation could be a one off… but when you do a little research something more sinister appears. Any spiritual minority or movement promoting Santana Dharma (eternal way of righteous living) will encounter opposition from the church-media-anti-cult nexus who work in cahoots to carry out the church’s agenda of keeping people under their dogmatic control.

This is perfectly explained with proofs and evidence in this article, which is well worth a read to open your eyes. Coming back to the above quote by Maria Writh and the fact that somehow Christianity snuck in there... It seems that certain echelons in Christianity have long arms reaching many places and do everything to keep people ignorant and unaware. Indeed, what if people would break away from organized religion and got in touch with their True Soul? Surely this would mean some would lose their power and control… 


Quote from the Bhagvat Gita


Deflection
What if the mass media would cover the truth of the widespread scandals and abuse of the sickest kind in the Christian and Catholic churches? And why aren’t they bar a few articles here and there?
What i saw the two malignant narcissists do in the FiT Programme was create a lot of smoke and mirrors to deflect from the damage and unethical acts they were doing. Somehow this rings a bell, when i see that the media in NZ went to great lengths to cover a false story about only a very small group of 12 people who received a training of whom only a few actually lived in NZ and they failed to cover what truly matters. Does anyone smell a rat here?

Would like to leave you with the following questions: 

Dare to speak the Truth


#standupforwhatisright

New age industry and stealing credit (part 1)

When i first felt some inner spiritual calling, started looking into what was readily available around me and living in the west ended up exploring a good part of the smorgasbord of the new age industry. Am saying industry, as i have found it had more to do with the (spiritual) ego & making money than with genuine spiritual awakening, never mind transformation and transcendence.

Dabbled into healing with the angels, met people who claimed to be channelling the masters, people who were into crystals, followed a reiki course and some other courses, read quite a few books including A course in Miracles which was actually the only book that talked about the Grace of God. But after a few years of searching, nothing had felt quite right, maybe i felt good for a while but the deep yearning wasn’t answered and had seen nothing that actually brought me much closer to the truth or in connection with my True Soul.

Saving Grace
All this changed when i met beloved Sree Maa Shri Ji. Sree Maa awakened my Atma (True Soul), graced me with a 24/7 connection to the Signature of the Source/Void known as Quantum Vortex Scalar Wave Photon Pulse or Swaminarayan Mahamantra and in the FiT Programme gently introduced me to Sanatana Dharma, the eternal way of righteous living. It is hard to put into words, felt a sense of coming Home straight from the start with Sree Maa Shri Ji and “this is It” with everything Sree Maa Shri Ji was sharing, the QVSWPP and with Words, though my ego was baffled at times at the Absolute Truths shared that rattled the many faulty and limited beliefs i held within my mind. Forever grateful to Bhagwan for sending beloved Sree Maa into my life.

Narcissists steal credit

Have had the great fortunate to have been graced with countless Blessings and many unparalleled enlightening Discourses by Sree Maa. Sree Maa has always spoken in a way that someone like me can understand, with modern day analogies, in simple English but that contained the most profound Wisdoms and Absolute Truth from the Satshastras that truly nourish the True Soul, show the Glory of the Absolute and the way to liberation. This by the way also involves honest reflection and introspection and not trying to shove the grey shades under the carpet or sugar coating them, like i had seen so much in the new age circles and which i had also indulged in very much.

There is a lot going on and i don’t pretend to know much, in fact if there is one thing i have learnt is that i know nothing but can see there are plenty of times where so-called spiritual teachers in the west are drawing on Ancient Wisdom from India but are not paying homage and credit to the true source. A stark example would be the theosophical society which the healing industry draws on so heavily, unfortunately they have twisted information and spread a lot of misconceptions in the west.

Micro-macro
Thinking about it, what i have seen happening in the FiT Programme in a micro scale, is what is going on in the world at large. There two covert narcissists who had snuck into the FiT Programme were and still are stealing Sree Maa’s teachings without giving credit and also tried to Sree Maa's identity. One even went to the point of promoting herself as a Facilitator and bringer of Quantum Vortex Scalar Wave Photon Pulse, the other pretended to be such a great devotee that healings were happening because of that. Things couldn’t be further from the truth… Stealing credit is of course a narcissists middle name, and the sad thing is they are cutting the branch they are sitting on. Without the One and Only One nothing is possible and without a true Guru this problem called the “i”/ego is impossible to transcend.

One of the many empowering things taught in the FiT Programme includes not stealing credit and think this is one many so-called spiritual teachers in the west should take to heart. Have actually shared this with my daughter too and it is beautiful to see that she makes sure not to steal anyone’s credit or forget to acknowledge the true source.
