    It's easy to demonize other's religious practices while being more tolerant
    of the beliefs shoveled into you as a child. Or in Campbell's case, be
    more tolerant of religious beliefs one has intellectualized.

    In my opinion, patriarchal religions and thought through the baby out with
    the bath water. Until things are made balanced again, there will always be
    those who seek to experience Dynamic Quality through Nature. Bohemians
    (Beatnics, Hippies and Neo-pagans, etc.) have found a tremendous lacking in
    their life. A spiritual lacking that Christianity and Judaism do not
    acknowledge. The fact that these movements have not solidified into a
    static organization speaks to their success, their freedom, not their
    failure. Their threads are woven on the edge of the culture and are quite
    strong. It's a movement through Nature towards Dynamic Quality that won't
    be stopped. It's not "new age", it's eternal. Even Buddhism states that
    buddha-nature is found in the plum blossom, not in reading and quoting
    philosophies or mythologies.

    Have you ever participated in a Nature celebration? Have you ever visually
    experienced the moon's cycle? Have you ever danced gratitude for an
    abundant harvest? Maybe you've been at a Civil War re-enactment, but have
    you ever experienced a ritual descent of Innanna? Can you appreciate the
    returning Sun at Yule that marks the point in the year where the days again
    start to lengthen? Have you ever sung chants to Mother Earth? Have you
    ever been in a forest grove dancing in communion with others to the dynamic
    energy of fire. Have you experienced you heart beating through drums with
    the Earth's heartbeat? No? Pity.

    P.S. The term "new age" is like "babyboomers". It is language used to
    disempower.
