Everything and everybody seems silly and old when you're 14.

The New Age movement is a Western spiritual movement that developed in the second half of the 20th century. Its central precepts have been described as "drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual and metaphysical traditions and infusing them with influences from self-help and motivational psychology, holistic health, parapsychology, consciousness research and quantum physics". [2] The term New Age refers to the coming astrological Age of Aquarius. [1]

The New Age aims to create "a spirituality without borders or confining dogmas" that is inclusive and pluralistic. [3] It holds to "a holistic worldview", [4] emphasising that the Mind, Body, and Spirit are interrelated [1] and that there is a form of monism and unity throughout the universe. [5] It attempts to create "a worldview that includes both science and spirituality" [6] and embraces a number of forms of mainstream science as well as other forms of science that are considered fringe.

The origins of the movement can be found in Medieval astrology and alchemy, such as the writings of Paracelsus, in Renaissance interests in Hermeticism, in 18th century mysticism, such as that of Emanuel Swedenborg, and in beliefs in animal magnetism espoused by Franz Mesmer. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, authors such as Godfrey Higgins and the esotericists Eliphas Levi, Helena Blavatsky, and George Gurdjieff articulated specific histories, cosmologies, and some of the basic philosophical principles that would influence the movement. It experienced a revival as a result of the work of individuals such as Alice Bailey and organizations such as the Theosophical Society. It gained further momentum in the 1960s, taking influence from metaphysics, perennial philosophy, self-help psychology, and the various Indian gurus who visited the West during that decade. [7] In the 1970s, it developed a social and political component. [8]

The New Age movement includes elements of older spiritual and religious traditions ranging from Monotheism through Pantheism, Pandeism, Panentheism, and Polytheism combined with Science and Gaia philosophy; particularly Archaeoastronomy, Astronomy, Ecology, Environmentalism, the Gaia hypothesis, UFO religions, Psychology, and Physics.

Near as I can figure Greg Almighty found Jesus after he took a big hit on Micrex Financial Corp. Not a pretty site and speaks volumes to Greg's judgement

Hi Leigh. Seems to be some interest in MIX lately. Can you think of any reason? I made a fair prophet on this one quite a while ago.and with all of the potential properties they have I decided to jump back in. Credibility seems to be an issue for Management, but if they can pull out a deal???? We could see a big pop!!!
What do you think? Thanks in advance; Greg

Greg Almighty is loaded with socialist contradictions. He was using the word unsustainable before Greenpeace.

I can still hear the oil execs saying; no, actually they were crying: "if we could only get 20 bucks a barrel". If they don't want to pay a reasonable and fair royalty rate, then I say let them go to more stable countries like Iraq to do business. The Alberta economy is so overheated from the sweetheart royalty scheme now in place and the wasteful and inflationary way these guys do business that it is becoming impossible for the average person to live here. I don't want to stop development but the current pace is simply unsustainable. We could use a slightly slower but steady pace of development.
