This is a neutral spot for introducing constructive criticism, healthy scrutiny, and a bit of skepticism to the tenets and beliefs of the New Age community.

There is a lot of chaff in this community: charlatans, spiritual materialsts, snake oil salesmen, blind acceptance and so on. But there is also substance: caring for others, an open-mindedness, successful alternatives, and fun.

I have a strong background in critical thinking and discernment, as well as a love and appreciation for what the alternative communities have to offer. What I would like to see is a bridge in the dialogue between skeptical and mystical viewpoints. What can we learn from each other? What needs to be questioned or critiqued? What can we agree on? What needs to go?

Question authority - including New Age dogma, trends and fads... That which is critiqued can only get stronger.
Critical Mass Thinking!
