We are the New Age Turks.
We are a radical section of the New Age Movement with New Age beliefs.
New Age Movement beliefs:
| � |
Belief in Deity
God is the impersonal life force, consciousness, ultimate truth and reality, the incorporeal, formless cosmic order personified within all people and matter. God is all and all are God.
|
| � |
Incarnations
Most believe there are no particular incarnations to worship, as all in the universe are embodiments of God.
|
| � |
Origin of Universe and Life
The universe, life, and matter were not created by God but "are" God. The universe and life emerged out of the creative power of the eternal universal life force.
|
| � |
After Death
Some believe in continual rebirth--no death--as life is spirit. Some believe that our souls rest for a time before deciding on a new body (or bodies). Heaven and hell are states of consciousness, self-imposed, due to ignorance of God as all.
|
| � |
Why Evil?
No original sin, no Satan, and no evil. Most believe people make "mistakes" when they are ignorant of the power of goodness, which is God, within themselves and others. Some believe evil is perpetuated through accumulation of past-life wrongs and spiritual ignorance.
|

Salvation
Salvation lies in the realization of oneness with the impersonal life force. Awareness can be heightened through methods that induce altered states of consciousness, e.g., hypnosis, meditation, music, drugs. Spiritual "tools" include crystals, tarot cards, amulets, channeling, fortunetellers and psychics. Some believe the salvation of humanity will occur when a critical mass is reached, when people converge in experiencing their oneness with God and with each other. This will bring a New World Order or new Planetary Order, resulting in oneness of civilization and one-world government, peace, and harmony.
|
| � |
Undeserved Suffering
Suffering is the result of greed, hatred, and spiritual ignorance in a person's, or humanity's, past lifetimes, which returns as suffering (karma). Suffering is sometimes viewed as occurring for a specific purpose, to further spiritual growth and learn a life lesson. Suffering is also seen as illusory, in that it results from attachment to bodily pleasure and pain, and only the universal life force within, God, truly exists.

Contemporary Issues
Abortion is not condemned, as there is no official doctrine. Generally, adherents are supportive of a woman's right to choose abortion.

Our Beliefs:
We are divine. We are the hope for future peace and harmony. We aim for evolution, both in body and spirit. The universe is composed of a common essence, which also connects and binds all things together. All truth, knowledge, and laws are relative to particular perceptions or situations and do not carry universal authority. Because there is no absolute truth to anything, we must compromise, along with others, to meet half-way for a treaty with other viewpoints. We believe that everyone should be enlightened, having a moment of self-awareness when an individual fully recognizes personal identification with the universe; that they are indeed fully divine. Also known as self-realization or self-actualization, this experience of personal infinity often follows a process of indoctrination, mind-altering drugs, and/or psychic techniques that are designed to dismantle the rationale and foster a working dependence on intuition. All matter evolves through death into life and ultimately back to divine consciousness. The first lifetime with a divine consciousness might take a while to occur, but each lifetime after it is easier. We continue this cycle infinite. The life energy from those in divine consciousness who die transfer the life energy to their next life, growing stronger and stronger with each enlightened life, with the strength depending on the level of enlightenment in that life. In our current time, the 21st century, our souls are just now starting to build up enough life energy to perform psychic activities. Some people are already able, others are far behind. When we are dead, all of our knowledge of previous lives comes together, and we are floating in this stream of life, floating around in the form as life energy, as a spirit among this energy. As spirits, most can do nothing because they are weak, but a few make their status known. We do not leave the flowing energy stage until we are reborn. We are reborn when we find an empty reproductive egg. All of our knowledge and life energy is stored in the spirit, not the brain, so it can never be removed, only gained. We believe in divination, spiritism, herbalism, astral projection, and collecting psychic power in an attempt to develop supernatural abilities and knowledge. We believe that there is a hidden energy that all life is of, and that flows throughout energy. Once channeled or manipulated, this energy becomes force. We believe in obtaining special knowledge about past events through searching the soul, the spirit, while enlightened. We believe in astral projection, a form of psychic travel where the soul or astral body projects outside of the physical body to explore alternate realities, dimensions, or physical locations. These experiences can be induced through hallucinogenic drugs, hypnotic rituals, or occult techniques such as Yoga and Transcendental Meditation. We believe that by becoming powerful enough in life energy through many years of enlightenment, or a single or a few years of extreme enlightenment, that we become power enough to perform psychic actions, some powerful enough to create chaos, and this chaos is created when those enlightened fail to sacrifice to compromise. We believe in ending those who perform deeds that don't compromise anything with other people. We predict that in a few hundred years that way more people will be able to perform psychic powers than currently. We believe that different spirits are created at different times, when there's not enough spirits for bodies, new spirits are created anew and clean out of other spirits. We believe that a Christ Consciousness incarnate on the Earth periodically to enlighten mankind. This incarnation is a spirit with an extremely powerful life energy. One example is Jesus, who is no different from any other spirit but has an extremely powerful life force. There is no God because we are all God ourselves, we are all connected through this life force. We predict that in the future there will be extreme battles between advanced spirits with lots of life energy. They will keep creating bodies that become hero's in the Earth's struggle between different viewpoints, between those who will compromise to do what they think is right, and between those who don't want to compromise to control others because that is what they think is right. There is no God ruling us, because we are divine and rule our selves. There is only the life stream of floating spirits that is invisible to the non-enlightened mind, and this life stream is composed of life energy particles, both in spirits in bodies and in spirits floating alone with bodies. We use methods that we choose as individuals to push ourselves ahead into that horizon, including lucid dreaming, alcohol, music, drugs, energy manipulation, and visualization. Energy can be taken from others temporarily to be used, and soon the energy fades and returns back to the original owner. When no energy is lent out, the amount of energy is the normal amount. Some spirits have different amounts of normal energy, energy derived from self, than others. Spirits gain energy through enlightenment, which is achieved through pushing the body and mind. Life energy can be different colors, according to how it is being used. Spirits have infinite potential. We believe to hope to develop new potentials within ourselves: the ability to heal oneself and others, psychic powers, a new understanding of the workings of the universe; We believe that later, when sufficient numbers of people have achieved these powers, a major spiritual, physical, psychological and cultural planet-wide transformation is expected. We are looking for a single world leader who, with our principles, will guide the world into a single harmonious economic whole. We believe that a new age of harmony will start to develop. There will be a struggle for a utopia in which there is world government, and end to wars, disease, hunger, pollution, and poverty. Gender, racial, religious and other forms of discrimination will cease. People's allegiance to their tribe or nation will be replaced by a concern for the entire world and its people.
