Give Thanks for the reasoning.
Well, I can't really relate to Kafka, I don't really like his style and his "pictures he paints"(in sense of literature), you know.
And as we know it is true what you say, New Age is this "sense seeking" white hippie stream. But still it would be wrong to say, that all spiritual efforts by europeans are just ridicolous like this. This would be definately against His Majesty's opinion who was known to be very interested in european literature.
And while one has to decide for onesselves, as I said I personally can't really relate to Kafka, we must not forget about highest spiritual values in texts like Hesse's Siddhartha.
And while Siddhartha was used for the hippie "self-finding" process, this does not mean that the work itself must be blamed for that.
I mean Siddhartha, for ex., was written in around 1919, you can never know what people will do with your book later on. Just think about the bible.
But what I am trying to say about New Age, which is the desperate sense-seeking of the western world, is that it is just a very logical consequence of the spiritually dead western society. Still the approach is a completely wrong one. They seek a new spirituality and a new sense, but don't want to realise that first of all there must be a new mentality, humbleness and overstanding.
Like some say, you cant go ah Zion with ya jerry curls. You can't go on in ya mentality like always and then expect the Noah will let you enter just like that. I know such people, living their square life and think of themselves very spiritually. What?
Christ say you cant do the one without the other, make clear ya clean outside AND inside. If that was the thing, we would have had young ambitious well educated interested cultural students with respect for the Native Cultures, and no hippie mainstream that believe they need lsd to get a spiritual experience.
The I speaks about the health risks.
As I said, first of all the mind must be ready, the flesh will follow. If you do these things and then get hurt by it, you can never claim that you were ready for that. This is rushing like a child and then stumbling. Everything needs time.
And still it's not something for everybody. Not all people have to go the same way, some are better prepared for those and others for these kinds of ways. If we all would be pure spiritual beings living somewhere in the wilderness, where would be our suit and tie people (like HIM exemplified!) to represent I n I in a serious manner in front of the UN, the OAU, the world collective?
By the way we learn from the Melchezidek Example and His Majesty's teachings about the necessary balance between spiritual and material progress, that we mst do one without leaving the other.
I could never overstand (which does not mean that it's wrong) the certain indian and budhist mentality of only caring about onesself and the own freedom and inner peace. What worth has this spiritual level, if reached, when you only keep it to yourself?
That is why we need Melchezidek Priest-Kings and Queens representing highest Spirituality on all world levels infront of all people. This was His Majesty's example, as we know he is the same King Alpha Melchezidek. No other statesman had ever so much wisdom and teachings on both worldly and spiritual matters.
