Vicious but Necessary Attack on the New Age Movement and Idealism

I'm someone who has been a 'ultra-empath' for my whole life, but in a very different way. I am extremely articulate and confident, which seems to go in direct contrast to most 'sensitive empaths' or whatever. Instead of merely having a sense of purpose to help people, I have a grand strategy to affect change on a massive scale. I'm willing to make brutal sacrifices to achieve these objectives and live by logic, not principles alone like so many 'empaths' do. I also embody the following: 1) Highly logical and strategic instead of primarily intuitive 2) Heavily psychologically armored, seemingly to an inhuman level instead of weak to emotional pain, though I do feel it intensely. 3) No shields, mental defense mechanisms, etc as I've picked my brain to death and have a very adept understanding of how human psychology works, how the mind can trick itself, ESPECIALLY an advanced mind. 4) Extremely good at lying and manipulating; I could lie my way out of anything, but I choose to do the right thing. However, apparently my similarity to Patrick Jane makes me untrustworthy off the bat... 5)Low number of spiritual experiences, but all have been very potent and easily identifiable 6) Atheistic background instead of growing up spiritual 7) No belief in anything 'new age' 8) Magnet for children, animals, etc. 9) Huge number of talents 10) 'Grand strategy', feeling of immense power, higher sentience, despite little or no regular spiritual activity 11) Seemingly the only person, besides one other who feels this way 12) Absolute dissolution of ego, arrogance, pride, vengeance along with other negative human attributes, plus selflessness that manifests almost like it is 'wired' into my blood. 13) Ability to change peoples minds very easily 14) Ability to change my own mind very quickly and blend in 15) High resilience after brutal emotional hits that would kill most people or drive them mad 16) The sole feeling of needing to serve a higher power + humanity without question, also to fight 'evil' that exists meta-physically 17) "Cybernetic" way of thinking 18) Very calm under even immense pressure, lack of mental breakdowns 19) Easily attract women, though once the smartest ones (especially New Agey types) run once they start to get 'bad vibes' 20) Profound understanding of finance 21) Wide sense of humor while feeling ancient and weary I believe that the "New Age" movement, including things like Astrology, crystal healing, belief in chakras and star children and so on and so fourth, is a scourge. I believe this because these beliefs are honestly just defense mechanisms and intuitive short cuts. They make people feel better about them selves and like they know so much, are so enlightened, etc. Intuition is one tool in ones arsenal, but is very dangerous when relied on entirely. Its not easy or pleasant to believe that things are complicated and hard to understand, thus people use their intuition foolishly to take shortcuts and simplify things that are way beyond their level of understanding (and in many cases, far beyond human capacity to really understand to any major level). In a way, people who practice these things are distancing themselves from God and other meta-physical entities that may or may not exist. Why? Because they are engaging in these practices for validation and meaning in life when they've been hurt, aka trying to repair their ego. It gives them a sense of pride and strength which is ultimately false. To understand when something is a truly spiritual experience, one must have an advanced 'logical filter', an extreme understanding of human psychology and biology (including their own), and an understanding of how easily the advanced mind can trick itself...especially under stress or pressure. As I like to say...the mind is quicker than the eye, but far more prone to error. No, true spirituality is very rare and comes primarily from pain and dissolution of ego, pride, vengeance, selfishness, vanity, and so on and so fourth. It comes from purity. That dissolution can come about through various means, but basically means analyzing your own mind to a meta-meta-meta level or something along those lines, though this concept by definition does not make sense to those who do not understand the concept of meta-intelligence or meta-analysis in the first place. I mean, its possible that some people who are 'spiritualists' are experiencing honest things, but they could never tell until they are able to understand just how sneaky the subconscious mind is at throwing things around. Until they can dissolve their barriers, fears, and biases. Honestly, it pains me so much that so many people buy into this New Age crap. I honestly have embodied the "I could be wrong about anything" life philosophy my whole life which has caused me to have massive shifts in belief again and again, but other people who say they have this trait are just lying. Or at least, they're lying about the way they conduct themselves under pressurized or weird situations. Throw them in a bad situation, and they'll start getting defensive, egotistical, rigid, you name it. My father himself thinks he is so spiritually enlightened; talks about things like balance and energy and the whole nine yards, but he is one of the most closed minded circular thinking individuals I have ever known. He has an excuse for everything he does because his spirituality is just a defense mechanism and he has no idea how he comes off to other people. I don't personally care too much what random jerks off the street think of me walking around, but I do try to practice tact and professionalism as there is no point getting into pointless conflict. This is another stupid thing about "New Age" people; they are pointlessly rebellious when they should be picking their battles and understanding that some just aren't worth fighting regardless of who is right and wrong. I tried to argue with that guy for 17 years before I learned much of this. He was raised spiritual which is the big problem here, ADVANCED LOGIC MUST COME BEFORE SPIRITUALITY. You need that logical filter. Spirituality is too advanced for a child to be raised in, and they will use it as a shield if they are sensitive or have had too many rough breaks in life. Well, even without them, its incredibly easy. And once the mind is anchored in that, its impossible to uproot at a certain point. In fact, I was even going in a conspiracy theorist/slightly new agey direction, and if not for my best friend's atheistic rationality, I would probably be more like most people on here. Also, there are different levels of 'empath'. There's a subset of sensitive people, but few are really true empaths who can pick up emotions like radar (maybe one in a few thousand)...but this is also another new age defense mechanism used wrongly. Then you get the vicious cycle, etc. Actually, logic, cold numbers, and rationality augment empathy because they enable you to filter the crap out in that arena too. "Hyper empaths" who feel the toxic atmosphere of the world and a whole spectrum of pain from thousands of events from the past into the future I would say are far rarer...possibly into the hundreds of thousands. I'd project that a large majority of 'true empaths', regardless of the level, are committing suicide before age 25 due to lack of support. The remainder that survive usually sink into a glacial and stuck mindset/lifestyle, and cannot get out even with a huge kick in the butt. Because...they have forgotten who they are and settled for less. True empaths in numbers are the most powerful force on this planet. When they are rational, practical, and have logical aims, of course. The first is to get as many true empaths together as possible, along with just sensitive intelligent people. Nothing wrong with that...just be aware of where you are without defense mechanisms. Becoming an empath is something you can grow into. Then, emotionally armor yourself, use money to get into positions of power, and bam. You've got a better world. Of course it's something that would have to be engineered over a long time, but by finding crutches in the New Age movement and believing in all this likely false stuff instead of actually doing something about this horrible world, progress is being dramatically slowed down. People become idealists and will NOT use strategy and practicality to achieve good objectives because they are stuck in an insular mindset. I talked to one woman who was offended that I told her that the only way to achieve a faster route to Socialism was to get extremely rich and support Socialism thru various means that exist within the system, instead of activism and all that garbage. Cast down your bucket where you are. Walk softly and carry a big gun (partially joking here). See, one cannot realize ANY OF THIS without having a 'grand view of strategy' and a very practical mindset. It is important to have a duality of rationality and empathy; one without the other gets thrown out of balance. As for my spiritual experiences, they always stick out like a sore thumb and are very rare as previously described. I've had maybe 6 that I can absolutely confirm to myself, and perhaps 10-15 total possible ones. This echoes the whole 'theophany' view of God; as in God or the "Source" rarely reveals, but when 'he' does, it is massive. But see, if I did not have this mental filter, I'd never doubt my intuition, and then my subconscious mind would CREATE even more experiences to validate the whole thing. Starting a vicious cycle. I've come face to face with an evil force that does not exist within the human race (humans are shades of grey). Unlike other people who try to form theories on what they don't understand, I stick to what I can confirm and sometimes offer possibilities without absolute belief in them. The last time this happened, I swore that alive or dead, I'd obliterate as many of these damn things as possible. My previous fear of them ended right there. I've been able to dismiss them with some 'power' very quickly. I did not know why until later. I had an experience of astral projection in which I saw my own spirit....a gargantuan ball of pure white light...and was 'revealed' many things. That I can accomplish my mission to change the course of humankind from either this side or the other side, that I embody or have assimilated (I'm not sure which) the spirit of a very powerful angel or even an archangel (according to what human understanding of an 'angel' is), and consequently that the vast majority of religion and spirituality is horribly misguided. That the massive pain I have experienced, pain that would kill almost anyone 30 times over, and my ability to process it is not for no reason and not a coincidence. Along with several other things, but that's the gist of it. Then it disappeared. Coming from an atheist background, this and several other experiences have been difficult to reconcile. But that's where true spirituality comes from. That's where true 'connection to God' comes from. It comes from purity. Dissolution of the ego and knowing that you truly know nothing, and actually practicing such instead of just saying it. I've seen how even my advanced and crystal clear mind will try to play tricks on itself. I admit my weak points. It's high time that 'empaths' ditch the New Age movement, admit they know almost nothing and that all their beliefs could be wrong, and start working in numbers. That'll be the day when 'critical mass' is achieved. But they must be practical and skilled in practical arts, or idiots and linearly intelligent yet selfish people will dominate them. They must be confident and with purpose. I finally understand why all the awful things happened in my life the way they did. There was, apparently, a purple aurora in the sky when I was born. Over...New Jersey. Scientifically improbable to an extreme. Someone needs to give this 'empath' movement a major kick and start it off towards a logical path that will actually achieve an objective, instead of using new age junk as a defense mechanism and wallowing in confusion and misery. Clarity and logic. Admitting how much you know, what you can know, and what you don't and can't know. That's what its all about. Have some fun, too. Sometimes, maybe even 'dare to be stupid'. But think big.
