  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm getting so tired of this new age bull. All it is is a bunch of the easiest eastern philosophies to understand, mixed with idiotic consumerism (Buy this crystal for $30 dollars! Guaranteed to help you... do whatever the hell it is they do with those crystals). I dunno, maybe it's just the newagers I've met nut it's just a bit too watered down and "feel good" for my tastes. I'm also tired of their little slogans, "We are all one", "All is as it should be", ad nauseum.

But maybe it's just me.

this new age bull.

.. i totally agree with you about the fluffy crystal stuff.. but new age is an all encompassing term that pretty much relates to anything spiritual or.. out of the 'norm' or monotheistic religion.. of which.. i am not object to in the least

Ah, well by that definition I'm pretty new age myself :). I was referring more to the recent new age movements that spawned all those silly psychic hotlines and stuff.

Although R&B does mainly revolve around the same issues, nobody's really forcing you to listen to it. There is plenty of New Age music for you to listen to--buy their CDs and listen to them wherever you can.

There's a great deal of music these days that happens to be disharmonious. What you're saying about R&B does have validity. Look at this website, www.hado.net, and tell me what you think.

It's just that I feel alone, although I met this girl named Ashley, and she doesn't care for R&B either...So I'm thinking that's cool. Really, though...I said that because everytime I go to a function I really am forced to listen to that garbage and I am afraid if I put on some of my music, ppl will literally puke...and so...I'm afraid that if I put on a Double CD some ppl will object...:( I will look at the site...

I think alot of the newage movment is not very complete. Its mostly teachings from here and there and then call it newage. its really oldage stuff from the east. Newage is mostly subtle healing like aroma therapy, color therapy, gem therapy, mantra and sound therapy and so on, which has been around for ages, as far back as 5,000 BCE. New age is taking something old and giving it a new name and calling it newage:) But it is really missing alot to it IMO, like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, the old, and the new is like 1,7,9, (not complete).

But its a good thing as it bringing back the ancient ways:)

I can understand about listening to what is kosher so to speak of a particular ethnic group....if you want to listen to some really great bands though, and christian in nature, I do like the tooth and nail records label. Maybe you can find something that you like with a Christian message on there. www.toothandnail.com.

Okay...I'll go to it, A.S.A.P. :hug:

I disagree. I listen to new age music and find it helps me focus on the Divine (God).

It also makes me relaxed and clears my mind of worries and stress.

To say those who listen to this genre are dangerous and cultic is like saying those who listen to country music are satanists.
Dear Zoralink,

I think he was being sarcastic when he said that. You are right though--New Age music is great and has proven to be very useful in assisting in healing.

Yeah,that water research is something else. I first heard about that in that movie, What the Bleep do we Know? which in my opinion, everyone should see, regardless of religious tradition.

What the Bleep do we Know? is a very good look at the human mind. For all we know nothing is real:D
