Spiritual Bypassing

[zenmaster]

What he is suggesting is that people put the cart before the horse due to misuse of the notion as an ideology. It is the mere possibility taken for granted without the prior consciousness which is why there is confusion. Basing judgment on that confusion is part of dishonest practices to which he is referring - hence the point he made which he understood all too well.

Yes I see it now. I am re-reading the article more in depth. But still I believe he is overgeneralizing; "New Age" as a whole is pejoratively portrayed. I get what he is saying, but I believe the format is not helping the delivery of his message.

The provided "new-age" template simply has both healthy and pathological aspects to it. I guarantee he understands both, but for the point of the article he is describing the pathological. And "pathological" meaning, that which can yet does not promote consciousness but rather distraction and confusion. What he is describing is largely reflective of Spiritual Bypassing, when those of the Green vMeme begin to have some access in time/space yet inevitably still reject much of their personal unconscious which manifests in a variety of ways indicated in the "new-age" culture (because it provides a means to escape that confrontation). The view of the author being "pejorative" in his descriptions is one that misses the point entirely.
