Hmmm... If all is god... and god is good... then what is evil? Is it god too? but if that is true then How is god good? This new age stuff is one huge Paradox.
I agree..what we call sin are just titles we put on our judgements.....and from what I've read about the New Age Religion...it goes pretty well with the aspects of some quantum theories.....and Metaphysics...
God is the creative force in this world...neither good nor evil...Since we are part of what that Entity is, we are also a creative force, one that can interact with other creative forces including the invisible one.....good and evil are terms we come up with to describe choice in others creative decisions...If there is no Satan, then who makes us do evil, or wrong...
The New Age Spirituality is unlike any religion in the world. In fact, it is not even classified as a religion. It encompasses the beliefs of many different paths from a melding of the Eastern and Western philosophies with a belief that all are one and part of everything that is providing an eclectic approach to spiritual, philosophical, and emotional exploration. The social concepts draw on ancient teachings on matters of spirituality, holistic care, concern for nature, and metaphysics.
The roots of the beliefs can be found in Shamanism, Celtic Traditions, Wicca, Theosophy, Magic, Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Transcendentalism, Neo Paganism, Occultism, The Cabbala, Hermetics, Anthrosophicalism, Spiritualism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judiasm, and Gnosticism to only name a few. There are no set texts, clergy, formal organization, dogmas, or rituals, as there really are no limits or bounds to what one may or may not believe. "New Agers" tend to create their own techniques and way of living. Some typical practices that are associated with those on a new age type of path would be holistic healing, meditation, channeling, crystals, divination, astrology, metaphysics, herbology, aromatherapy, energy work, mysticism, and raising one's vibrational levels to help with self realization and an awareness of consciousness.

Looking at you.
If what you say is true, then no one would ever give there lives for a higher cause. There are people who have willingly gaven their lives to save other people (people they love).
