I have experienced synchronicity many times, it's awesome. I've actually read most of Carl Jung's "Red Book". I've read a lot of things like that. Took an interest in Nietzsche for a while. I'll have to check out "Dark Night of the Soul", thanks for the suggestion. Also, doesn't fluoride in our water affect our pineal gland? Do people use water filters or drink purified water for this process?
Here's the thing. A lot of this stuff is explained in a clear way in scripture.
For example, synchronicity could easily be God communicating something to you, since He can manipulate all things to make coincidences happen. In the beginning when He created all of creation, God knew exactly what you and I were going to type to each other in this conversation. So, He easily could cause synchronicity.
I doubt New Age is teaching the same thing as the Bible, because it never refers to Old Testament scripture (A thing Jesus did over and over in real life), and it doesn't teach us to love God and one another and to carry our "cross". From my experience, New Age teaching gives us excuses to think about fun things like dimensions and glands and gives us excuses to get high and hallucinate (which logically doesn't make sense because a competent and strong person stays sober at all times to be of most use to themselves and others). New Age teaching distracts us from the truths of God, instead teaching us about vibrations (not proven) and levels of consciousness (which is the focus of the occult and people like ancient Pharaohs, so I am inclined to ignore it).
Tell me, did you have to take any drugs or compounds for this opening of the Pineal Gland? Did you have to speak certain words, or perform certain actions? If so, it's nonsense. Think about it logically, would a perfect holy God make it so the rules of the universe are: You have to say the right thing and do the right movement and bam you unlock it all?
That doesn't make sense. It sounds like magic, like a magician with a rabbit in a hat. It sounds like The Cabal and their rituals.
Maybe the process whereby you think you "opened your 3rd eye" changed the way you think or feel. We can alter our thinking and feelings in a massive array of ways, not all of which are wise. But this doesn't necessarily mean you have affected your soul in an eternal way towards salvation. Shouldn't THAT be your priority? If there is more beyond physical Earth, beyond the material universe, shouldn't our priority be accessing the beyond, escaping the simulation, so to speak?
What are some ways that you think New Age and Scripture overlap? I know I'm coming across as confrontational, that's because I'm passionate about this and I really care about your understanding it. I'm genuinely curious, and I'm enjoying our conversation.
I'm glad to hear all that. I know we all have our own experience, and it seems you've been through quite a lot. I'm really glad to hear you've discovered a way to sort of bootstrap yourself out of it. You mention just exuding positive energy, which is similar to the Christian understanding that since we are saved by Christ for eternity, we have a baseline joy that should permeate everything we do.
I respect your journey and the things you've come to appreciate and believe about this world. If you ever want to know more about scripture, or you want someone to point you to more info, I'd be proud to help you out and give you some resources.
In the meantime, do you have any websites or resources that you'd like to refer me to?
I couldn't agree more! From the Christian perspective, since we are all loved by God unconditionally, and his ultimate sacrifice of his only son for our salvation was the ultimate act of love, we are obliged and called to mirror this love in our lives. We're called to even love our enemies.
I don't really understand the bit about raising consciousness to the 5th dimension, and a lot of the stuff about dimensions and consciousness seems alien to me, so I'll have to do some reading to figure out what it all means. I'll look into those people you listed.
I also really enjoyed our conversation. I hope you have a good New Year my friend. Hopefully we run into each other again here on GAW. God bless, WWG1WGA!

"The most important thing is unconditional love"
