There are many truths in the New Age movement but it has been infected by many distortions that have made it more toxic than valuable. Many of the New Agers I have known just proclaim “love and light” when things go wrong, use moon rituals and alter, have tons of crystals for all kinds of ailments and protection, and believe that once they can reach a certain vibration they will ascend to 5D. I would argue that all of these are wrong.
Firstly I would like to discuss the “love and light” phenomenon. Just thinking and trying to feel the “love and light” does not make negativity go away. The world would be at peace if it were possible to “love and light” all the darkness away. We are human beings and part of our humanness is feeling all levels of emotions. If you ignore your lower emotions like sadness, anger, jealousy, etc, you are just suppressing those emotions deeper into your physical body and energy field. These suppressed lower emotions also become food for lower energy beings to feed off of. Emotions are just energy in motion. They are a natural phenomena of human life. When you stop that energy flow it will stagnate and become harmful. It is exactly the same as damming a river. If the water stops flowing it will become polluted and no longer revitalize what is downstream as it used to. Now this does not mean that when you feel angry or jealous that you should feed that emotion, expanding that energy and allowing it to overtake you. When you do allow that emotion to overtake you it causes distortion or disease in the energy body and physical body. Emotions are our messengers. Even the “bad” ones (except there is no such thing as a bad emotion). Every emotion is here to tell you if an event has violated your values and personal boundaries or if that event is nourishing to your life and soul. The true nature of emotions is to act like a wave in the ocean; they come, rise, crest, and fall away. This is what processing emotions looks like (although processing the backlog of suppressed emotions looks different). Allow yourself to feel that energy, listen to what it is trying to tell you, then like a passing wave allow it to move through and fall away. This will prevent more energy from building up in the backlog for you to clear while also allowing you to rebound to a more joyful state of being.
Next I would like to address rituals. Some rituals and ceremonies are fine but most are not. If you are connecting to any entity or object (like the moon or an angel) during a ritual, I would say that is dangerous. Opening yourself or giving an offering to anything is giving that being permission to come into your energy field or body. This is like opening the doors to an energetic buffet and asking entities to come eat their fill. There are so many entities that feed off of humanity through their permission during rituals and ceremonies. What is key is unlocking your own sovereign power through deep healing and connection to the Divine. I believe anything lower than the Divine One should be considered a parasite and to avoid connection always. Human beings are the most powerful entities in the universe (aside from the Divine) and giving your power away to other entities is a choice. Even connecting to “spirit guides” is dangerous. You cannot 100% verify who these guides are. Even if your guides have led you to seemingly beneficial events or people in the past, you don’t know if those will truly benefit you in the evolution of your soul or if they just feel good for the time being. Each of us has our own internal guide, our soul, which is the Divine with us. I believe that is what we should all be connecting to, not any being outside ourselves. I believe this is one of the most powerful matrix lies that control so many powerful souls. We each have the power within, but if we are being led like a puppet by things outside ourselves we are not embodying our unique power and sovereignty. Embodying your unique soul wisdom and gifts is true transcendence and power.
Another thing I have seen a lot is the use of crystals for protection. Yes, crystals do have magic within them due to the geometric structures of the molecules. Crystals should be used as a supportive tool, not relied on as a source of power or protection. A strong physical, emotional, and energetic body is what will protect you the most from both physical disease, bad vibes, and entities. A strong and healthy aura is more powerful than having all the right crystals in all the right places. Like I said before, crystals are a tool and I do have many and use them in my energy work with clients. Crystals have the ability to transmute distorted energy into harmonious energy and I have first hand experience of their power. They are beautiful gifts from the universe and should be used appropriately, not as an end all be all for healing. I believe the best way to use crystals is as a tool to help clear energy. Selenite and quartz are good to have around the house, especially in corners where energy gets trapped. Salt lamps are great for releasing negative ions into the atmosphere which helps keep energy clear. I’ve heard black tourmaline is great for protection, but if you have invited beings in through rituals it cannot protect you. I only ever clear my crystals in the sunlight, never ever the moonlight. Cleaning them with salt water is also a way to cleanse them.
Finally I want to address the myth of ascending to 5D. I absolutely don’t believe that any human is ascending anywhere once they reach the right level of “higher vibration.” I believe the idea of ascension is a lie that just keeps people focused on “keeping their vibes high” instead of clearing the backlog of unprocessed emotions and trauma. Yes you can reach a state much closer to enlightenment, but that takes consistent inner work of clearing and processing the emotions and energies that are stored within you and that continuously come as part of the natural processes of life. The true ascension is when you have embodied your authentic soul essence and power, able to live your life without the constant struggle of anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma responses. When you are able to find joy and gratitude in your everyday life, through the mundane, then you have ascended the lower levels of this matrix. Ascension is about seeing from a higher perspective, while grounded in reality at the same time. It is not a physical ascend to a different dimension.
In conclusion, if you want to reach higher levels of being, following New Age beliefs and practices will never get you there. One must integrate the humanness of life and learn to flow with the waves of life, energy, and emotions. Processing those energies allows one to move through them with ease instead of bypassing or getting stuck in them. It is within YOU to take back your power in life to transmute and transcend the distortions that have enveloped humanity. The New Age has just become the New Cage to entrap those of us trying to transcend this matrix of lies and distortions. Don’t get caught in this New Cage. The TRUE New Age will come when individuals commit deeply to their inner work, pure intention, compassion, and embodiment of Divine truth. This is what is necessary and it takes a warrior’s spirit to make it happen. Are you up for the journey?
