Subject: 5 Major New Age, Spiritual Mistakes

Virtually everybody ends up wasting time somewhere
along the line in their pursuit of spiritual awareness
because the path is replete with pitfalls.

Don't feel bad if you've taken a time consuming detour
down a spiritual dead-end street. You're not alone.

Below we list some of the most common New Age
blunders.

1. Buying into the myth that personal adversity doesn't
have to exist, that it's not necessary for spiritual growth.
You've likely been exposed to New Age offerings telling
you that "You were born only to enjoy life and to end
suffering." As nice as it sounds, don't buy it. Life is full
of important lessons and some of the most important
spiritual breakthroughs come through personal adversity.
Besides, if life was constantly and forever rainbows and
sunshine, you would quickly become so bored that your
subconscious would generate some sort of drama and
conflict to make you feel alive. The good news is that you

have free will within the confines of your fate and you can
diminish the effects of suffering through acceptance,
gratitude, and awareness.

2. Embracing the feel-good, yet bogus New Age claims,
such as "I've found my soul mate and you can too in 90
days or less." Authentic love--unconditional love--has
nothing to do with deadlines and legal contracts. Real
love happens when it's supposed to happen, not in
accordance with ego-self ideals, and everyone has
different love life timing. Also, you have many soul mates

and our findings clearly show that most are not meant to

be life-long or the most desirable type, but the sort that

help the most in your spiritual growth (read: challenging

relationships).

3. Avoiding meditation or time alone spent in reflection.
Isn't it funny that in Western society today it's so common
for people to express disbelief at the idea of enjoying
spending extended periods of time in solitude? "Like,

OMG, what would you do?!" Spending regular periods
alone is important to your spiritual growth, as is regular
meditation. The inner landscape can be infinitely more
compelling than the outer world.

4. Mistaking New Age inspiration, such as "you can delete

all of your karma in a blink of an eye, all you have to do is

believe that you can" for spiritual truth. Look, we're all for

inspiration and getting inspired (did you know that initiates

in select ancient mystery schools would shout "I am

inspired!" on cue?), but it better be rooted in truth or you're

just wasting your time and money with New Age escapism.

5. Ignoring the other spiritual laws besides the law of
attraction. Although we acknowledge that it can be

tempting to focus exclusively on the law of attraction and
to ignore any other (prevailing) spiritual laws, doing so will
only set you up for major disappointment.

For example, the law of predestination/fate/destiny (all

these words have the same meaning) dictates that, on a

soul level (not your personality, which you shed at death),

you select your major predestined life circumstances of

each lifetime, before incarnating. Our findings show this to

be valid, even if your personality in this life is not aware of

it and even if you don't believe in predestination/fate/

destiny. Nobody cheats their fate, no matter how much

they practice the law of attraction. You're in luck, however,

if your personal destiny matches your desires and the

better you know yourself, the more likely it will.

Although it's almost impossible to avoid all New Age,

spiritual traps, if you watch out for the ones outlined above
you will save an enormous amount of time and money.
