What Is The Next Age?

I hereby declare the New Age to be over! What! you say? Has It started? Whenever the words ‘new age’ are mentioned, people conjure up images of astral traveling, tarot cards, channeling dead people, guru worship, psychics and even cults. All things that have given new age spirituality a bad rap. It’s got baggage. I want to untie myself from those words. I want to talk to the people that have no interest in those aspects of new age. I want to talk about a time of awakening to a whole new perspective on life. We humans love labels, so I am creating a new one. Welcome to the NEXT AGE.

I know, you look at your browser and see that the name is Next New Age. Well I had to keep it in the domain name so people could find there way here. You know SEO, and all that. I haven’t made The Next Age a household word … yet!

The term “new age” isn’t new. It’s been around since the late 1800’s. Edgar Casey was called new age back in the early 1900’s. The new age, came of age in the ’60s. The hippie era and the use of LSD and other mind expanding drugs helped people start questioning the norm. Rebelling from society’s focus on money and consumerism. They started looking at a bigger picture of what human life was about. Eastern mysticism was integrated along with ancient wisdom from many cultures of the world. Metaphysics or “beyond psychics” was a label that got attached. People were seeking enlightenment. Unfortunately all kinds of things got thrown into the general category of “new age” which gave people the impression of it being “out there” and therefore not real.

I am not saying that the practices and rituals that are associated with the new age community have no validity. It’s not for me to judge. Everyone has free will to choose what works for them. The beauty of the messages that I hear from new-agers is in the consistency. We seem to all be saying the same things but I have the feeling we are saying them to each other. Whenever I write or say the term new age, I can just feel the cringe of the people I am trying to speak to. I have been writing about new age spirituality for a while now but I don’t want to just talk to other new-agers. That’s like singing to the choir.

My intent is and always has been to help people who have had little or no exposure to this wild concept that humanity is going through a shift. A total shift in human behavior. A whole new perspective on what being human is all about. I want to share my experiences about the changes I have been through in hope of helping others to have the huge shift in perspective that I have experienced. I do know that unless we all wake up together it won’t happen. We are all in this together with each of us on our own schedule. Whatever I can do to help with this process, as a way of giving back for the gift that I have been given, then this site will have served it’s purpose. So with the goal of being more inclusive I am dropping the new age and launching the Next Age.

So what is the Next Age?

The Next Age is about self empowerment. It’s knowing that we are whole and complete without needing anything or anyone outside our selves. It’s about being not doing. It’s about discovering our true eternal self. It’s about not having the need for the words of angelic beings or gurus to give us the answers. It’s about knowing that we have the answers and all we need to do is look within. It’s about leaving the practice of following the leader to embrace the one of following our selves. It’s about knowing that we alone have the power and responsibilty to create our experiences in life.

The Next Age is about simplifying. Simplifying the concepts of enlightenment or awakening or evolving or whatever label you want to use because it can be boiled down to a few basic concepts. We love to complicate things but my intent with this site is to cut away the fluff and make these concepts digestible for general consumption. The section called Next Age 101 describes the five basic concepts.

Next Age will also be offering real life examples of what is happening in the world from the view that we are going through a huge change right now. News articles, scientific discoveries, cultural changes, examples of us recognizing the oneness of all things. Instead of just giving you nice sounding words, actually showing that the change I speak of is happening right now.

So the Next Age is here. I have officially christened it and had a coming out party. It was a great celebration even though it was just me and this keyboard. Wish you were here .. wait you are here. Hope you can stay awhile and come back often. The door is always open.

I am just completing an ebook called The Next Age (pretty original huh?) and I will have it available shortly. Oh and by the way … My name is Seth Garrison and I am excited to begin this new journey. I promise I won’t get too serious or long winded … Did I say that? Ok, I promise.

Welcome to the Next Age
