Absolutely not! I can respect the impulse toward a more direct experience of
God that drives so many people, particularly teenagers and younger adults,
to embrace different New Age gurus. Unfortunately, this approach is typified
by a lack of solid reasoning which makes those following these 'teachers'
subject to horrible flights of fancy.
More akin to a visit to Disney Land than a true spiritual quest, the New Age
movement is rooted in a fascination with mystical fireworks. While such
fireworks can certainly be experienced with Tantric Christianity practices,
they are not the focus. In fact, both Christian and Buddhist spiritual masters
are agreed that such phenomenon as visions of holy beings, other places
and times, etc., can be indicative of broadening one's horizons beyond the
mundane, but really mean little in themselves. If taken too seriously, such
experiences become a trap that will leave one even further from the path of
true discovery than before.
