My last post reminded me…I’ve got a lot of New Age idols to smash. Seriously.

Creative Tribe of the Bay Area,

Our worldview is embedded with a lot of insidious New Age beliefs that we have GOT to get rid of.

Ideas to watch out for:

– Anytime you’re asking the “universe” for something as if it was a person.

– Anytime you think you can manifest something in the external world with primarily your thoughts and intention.

That is just magical thinking. You really don’t have that much control over you life.

– Astrology.

Astrology points to real archetypes in the subconscious, but birthdate is a terribly inaccurate classification mechanism…this is why I prefer psychological systems like the enneagram, spiral dynamics and jungian cognitive processes.

Overall, these are all Pre/Trans Fallacies and inappropriate responses to the deficiencies of the cold hard rationalism of the modern era.

All of the above are “Pre-Rational” ideas that are misinterpreted as “Trans-Rational” ideas.

Trans-rational ideas, transcend and INCLUDE rationality, and adhere to all the tenets of rationality.

Just because I am challenging you to give up your pre-rational New Age Beliefs Creative Tribe of the Bay Area, does not mean you have to believe in a lifeless, nihilistic, mechanical world.

The mysteries and magicalness of consciousness, the world and the universe are very much alive on the other side.

I’ll show you wink emoticon

Sincerely,

Your intense, friendly iconoclast
