Blog: I Went to a New Age Expo (Stranger in a Strange Land) – Why are There so Many Kids Here? And What’s with Reincarnation?

Welp, it’s that time of year again. The birds are chirping, the flowers are coming up, the dang mosquitos are back for no other reason than to spite us, and the weather is as indecisive as Taylor Swift where it can’t decide what it wants to be. In other words, its spring, and that means that my local New Age expo is back in town, which means y’all get to hear about the madness.

This expo is one of four this year, with two happening in spring, one happening in mid-summer, and the last in early fall. However, from what I’ve heard from the people who went in previous years, the one we went to was the biggest one of the year. That said, I wasn’t surprised about the sheer number of people who were there. The convention hall was super crowded, but one of the things I wasn’t expecting about the crowd was how many kids were there. The majority of the crowd was female, so it was only natural that there would be some moms, but I wasn’t expecting the moms to bring their kids, ages ranging from babies to pre-teens. I saw one little boy holding a crystal wand in each hand as he sat and meditated at a booth, for crying out loud.

I can’t tell what’s worse: kids running around at Sephora, or kids running around at the New Age Expo. At least Sephora doesn’t have several booths selling psilocybin.

But besides the absurd number of kids there, the main thing that my family’s conversations with people revolved around was reincarnation. Now, I’ll stick to the three most interesting conversations we had with the people there for the sake of brevity, but all three are weird.

The first person we talked to was a lady who identified as Roman Catholic and believed in various Masters of Wisdom, particularly that Jesus is the Master of Love and Buddha is the Master of Wisdom. Further, she believed in perennial wisdom, which is the belief that there was once an ultimate truth or religion that got turned into the various beliefs and religions held by everyone today. Thus, everyone is on their own path to the ultimate source of everything as they gradually figure out and accept that they have the divine spark within them and reach enlightenment over the course of thousands or millions of reincarnation cycles.

She also believed that since everyone gets reincarnated, they basically have infinite attempts to get it right. If the planet blows up in the meantime, that’s fine. You’ll get transferred to a different planet. And if you do get it right and become some sort of super enlightened spiritual master, you can get transferred to another planet to help other people reach their enlightenment. Doesn’t that sound fun?

Now, for those of you who have read the Bible, you might be slightly confused about who the heck Jesus is to this lady and how He fits into her belief system. After all, she was saying that he’s one of the various Masters you can follow while the Bible says that He’s your only shot to Heaven. Well, when I brought up John 14:6 when Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” she said that Jesus is essentially the most enlightened person ever. He’s the gatekeeper to reaching God, so as the Master of Love, He’s the highest standard for everyone to follow to reach their divine spark.

Of course, that is not at all what Jesus meant in the Bible, but this is how she was interpreting it to fit with her worldview.

But that leaves the question of how Jesus reached such a high enlightenment status that He could claim to be God. According to her, it was through being unconditionally loving, thus reaching His full potential through the divine spark within, because God is love, whatever that’s defined as. It’s not like according to the Bible, while God is loving and merciful, He’s also just and must rain down His wrath on those who break His law or anything.

Overall, the path to the ultimate truth according to her was by being unconditionally loving and by following whatever truth fits you…which is entirely subjective and contradictory.

Another interesting conversation I had was with a member of what’s possibly the most obvious pseudo-Christian cult I’ve ever seen. This cult is called the Church of Shambhala Vajradhara Maitreya Sangha, and its leader is a dude who calls himself Buddha Maitreya and claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. As such, he believes that it’s his job to restore the Noosphere through Christ consciousness, amongst other things.

But what is the Noosphere? I’ll let him explain:

The Noosphere is the planetary sphere of mind or thinking layer of the planet Earth. To grasp the idea of the Noosphere, we must elevate our consciousness and open ourselves to the most general, elemental, and cosmic principles of life on Earth.

The Noosphere is the next stage in the evolution of human consciousness. As the mental sheathe of the planet, the Noosphere characterizes mind and consciousness as a unitary phenomenon. This means that the quality and nature of our individual and collective thoughts directly affects the Noosphere and creates the quality of our environment – the biosphere.

The historic process is changing dramatically before our eyes … Mankind taken as a whole is becoming a powerful geological force. Humanity’s mind and work face the problem of reconstructing the biosphere in the interests of freely thinking Mankind as a single entity. This new state of the world we are approaching without noticing it, it is the ‘Noosphere’.
‍
The return of Christ as the fulfillment of the Noosphere as well as the consummation of the universe. According to the Law of Time, the end of linear time begins the time of the Noosphere and the return of Christ Consciousness.

But when will the return of Christ be if this dude is claiming to be the reincarnation of Christ? According to the lady I was talking to, who was a nun for this cult, the first coming occurred when Jesus came in His original body. After He died and was resurrected, she then said that He went to India (where He also spent His early years between 12 and 30), married, and somewhere along the line, was reincarnated in various forms, which is the second coming.

If you’re confused, I am too.

I asked her how that lined up with what the Bible (which she claimed to have read) says about the return of Jesus and how everyone will see Him and every knee will bow. Her response, like with many of the other questions I asked her, was, “I’m just a student.”

Some of the other questions I asked her included:

1). “Do you believe the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the actual teachings of Jesus during His first coming?”

2). “What evidence is there that Buddha Maitreya is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ?”

3). “If karma is real,” – (they believe in karma) – “then if a woman is raped, then does she deserve it for something bad that she did in a past life?”

4). “What defines good and bad, or your concept of ‘virtue’?”

5). “What happens after we die? Do I get reincarnated or do I get to break out of that cycle?”

6). “If we’re constantly being reincarnated, then what purpose is there in repenting and following this guy if I’m still, maybe, going to get reincarnated?”

The answers to questions 4-6 could be summed up as, “I don’t know,” as she kept telling me, “I’m just a student. It’s better to hear ‘Jesus’ speak.” The other three questions, however, she did try to answer. On the first one, she said that while Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were okay about Jesus’ ministry, but it’s better to hear from Buddha Maitreya himself. Additionally, her group mainly focuses on the “Lost Gospels.” The Lost Gospels are basically a theory that Jesus, in the 18 years that we know next to nothing about between His childhood and ministry, went to India, did some stuff there, and travelled back to Israel to His thing. Of course, there’s no solid historical evidence for this, but this is what they roll with.

On my second question, her response was that some anonymous pastor/theologian in South Africa said that Buddha Maitreya was Jesus after listening to him. And with the third question, she just brushed that off entirely as absurd.

I hope y’all can detect the issues with her apologetic for this cult. If it wasn’t saying “I don’t know” or deflecting, it’s based on completely unverifiable sources or unsupported theories. It got to a point where we were both getting frustrated, her with the questions, and me with the lack of answers. Finally, she directed me to Buddha Maitreya’s YouTube channel, and I may do a deep dive post on him and his cult eventually.

Finally, the last person I’ll mention here is a dude I’m just going to call Wyatt. Originally, we thought he was a Wiccan, but actually, he was closer to a Luciferian. There are different types of Luciferians out there, but in his case, he believed that we are gods who came from some source that we later called “God,” and that we need to realize that we’re God to eventually reach our full potential as god at some point. Thus, Wyatt believed that he’s a god and that he can help other people reach their god-ness.

As we continued to question this belief, though, Wyatt started getting visibly flustered to the point where his neck was so red and splotchy that I was wondering if he was having an allergic reaction to something. Thankfully, we were able to end the conversation when my dad informed Mom and I that he had finally located a family friend who was also doing evangelism there.

So, that was my experience with the New Agers this time around. It’s honestly a depressing look at how easily people are deceived as long as they can feel like they are in control.

Until next time,

The Noosphere is the next stage in the evolution of human consciousness. As the mental sheathe of the planet, the Noosphere characterizes mind and consciousness as a unitary phenomenon. This means that the quality and nature of our individual and collective thoughts directly affects the Noosphere and creates the quality of our environment – the biosphere.

The historic process is changing dramatically before our eyes … Mankind taken as a whole is becoming a powerful geological force. Humanity’s mind and work face the problem of reconstructing the biosphere in the interests of freely thinking Mankind as a single entity. This new state of the world we are approaching without noticing it, it is the ‘Noosphere’.
‍
The return of Christ as the fulfillment of the Noosphere as well as the consummation of the universe. According to the Law of Time, the end of linear time begins the time of the Noosphere and the return of Christ Consciousness.

But when will the return of Christ be if this dude is claiming to be the reincarnation of Christ? According to the lady I was talking to, who was a nun for this cult, the first coming occurred when Jesus came in His original body. After He died and was resurrected, she then said that He went to India (where He also spent His early years between 12 and 30), married, and somewhere along the line, was reincarnated in various forms, which is the second coming.

If you’re confused, I am too.

I asked her how that lined up with what the Bible (which she claimed to have read) says about the return of Jesus and how everyone will see Him and every knee will bow. Her response, like with many of the other questions I asked her, was, “I’m just a student.”

Some of the other questions I asked her included:

1). “Do you believe the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the actual teachings of Jesus during His first coming?”

2). “What evidence is there that Buddha Maitreya is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ?”

3). “If karma is real,” – (they believe in karma) – “then if a woman is raped, then does she deserve it for something bad that she did in a past life?”

4). “What defines good and bad, or your concept of ‘virtue’?”

5). “What happens after we die? Do I get reincarnated or do I get to break out of that cycle?”

6). “If we’re constantly being reincarnated, then what purpose is there in repenting and following this guy if I’m still, maybe, going to get reincarnated?”

The answers to questions 4-6 could be summed up as, “I don’t know,” as she kept telling me, “I’m just a student. It’s better to hear ‘Jesus’ speak.” The other three questions, however, she did try to answer. On the first one, she said that while Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were okay about Jesus’ ministry, but it’s better to hear from Buddha Maitreya himself. Additionally, her group mainly focuses on the “Lost Gospels.” The Lost Gospels are basically a theory that Jesus, in the 18 years that we know next to nothing about between His childhood and ministry, went to India, did some stuff there, and travelled back to Israel to His thing. Of course, there’s no solid historical evidence for this, but this is what they roll with.

On my second question, her response was that some anonymous pastor/theologian in South Africa said that Buddha Maitreya was Jesus after listening to him. And with the third question, she just brushed that off entirely as absurd.

I hope y’all can detect the issues with her apologetic for this cult. If it wasn’t saying “I don’t know” or deflecting, it’s based on completely unverifiable sources or unsupported theories. It got to a point where we were both getting frustrated, her with the questions, and me with the lack of answers. Finally, she directed me to Buddha Maitreya’s YouTube channel, and I may do a deep dive post on him and his cult eventually.

Finally, the last person I’ll mention here is a dude I’m just going to call Wyatt. Originally, we thought he was a Wiccan, but actually, he was closer to a Luciferian. There are different types of Luciferians out there, but in his case, he believed that we are gods who came from some source that we later called “God,” and that we need to realize that we’re God to eventually reach our full potential as god at some point. Thus, Wyatt believed that he’s a god and that he can help other people reach their god-ness.

As we continued to question this belief, though, Wyatt started getting visibly flustered to the point where his neck was so red and splotchy that I was wondering if he was having an allergic reaction to something. Thankfully, we were able to end the conversation when my dad informed Mom and I that he had finally located a family friend who was also doing evangelism there.

So, that was my experience with the New Agers this time around. It’s honestly a depressing look at how easily people are deceived as long as they can feel like they are in control.

Until next time,

Blog: I Went to a New Age Expo (Stranger in a Strange Land) – Why are There so Many Kids Here? And What’s with Reincarnation?

Welp, it’s that time of year again. The birds are chirping, the flowers are coming up, the dang mosquitos are back for no other reason than to spite us, and the weather is as indecisive as Taylor Swift where it can’t decide what it wants to be. In other words, its spring, and that means that my local New Age expo is back in town, which means y’all get to hear about the madness.

This expo is one of four this year, with two happening in spring, one happening in mid-summer, and the last in early fall. However, from what I’ve heard from the people who went in previous years, the one we went to was the biggest one of the year. That said, I wasn’t surprised about the sheer number of people who were there. The convention hall was super crowded, but one of the things I wasn’t expecting about the crowd was how many kids were there. The majority of the crowd was female, so it was only natural that there would be some moms, but I wasn’t expecting the moms to bring their kids, ages ranging from babies to pre-teens. I saw one little boy holding a crystal wand in each hand as he sat and meditated at a booth, for crying out loud.

I can’t tell what’s worse: kids running around at Sephora, or kids running around at the New Age Expo. At least Sephora doesn’t have several booths selling psilocybin.

But besides the absurd number of kids there, the main thing that my family’s conversations with people revolved around was reincarnation. Now, I’ll stick to the three most interesting conversations we had with the people there for the sake of brevity, but all three are weird.

The first person we talked to was a lady who identified as Roman Catholic and believed in various Masters of Wisdom, particularly that Jesus is the Master of Love and Buddha is the Master of Wisdom. Further, she believed in perennial wisdom, which is the belief that there was once an ultimate truth or religion that got turned into the various beliefs and religions held by everyone today. Thus, everyone is on their own path to the ultimate source of everything as they gradually figure out and accept that they have the divine spark within them and reach enlightenment over the course of thousands or millions of reincarnation cycles.

She also believed that since everyone gets reincarnated, they basically have infinite attempts to get it right. If the planet blows up in the meantime, that’s fine. You’ll get transferred to a different planet. And if you do get it right and become some sort of super enlightened spiritual master, you can get transferred to another planet to help other people reach their enlightenment. Doesn’t that sound fun?

Now, for those of you who have read the Bible, you might be slightly confused about who the heck Jesus is to this lady and how He fits into her belief system. After all, she was saying that he’s one of the various Masters you can follow while the Bible says that He’s your only shot to Heaven. Well, when I brought up John 14:6 when Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” she said that Jesus is essentially the most enlightened person ever. He’s the gatekeeper to reaching God, so as the Master of Love, He’s the highest standard for everyone to follow to reach their divine spark.

Of course, that is not at all what Jesus meant in the Bible, but this is how she was interpreting it to fit with her worldview.

But that leaves the question of how Jesus reached such a high enlightenment status that He could claim to be God. According to her, it was through being unconditionally loving, thus reaching His full potential through the divine spark within, because God is love, whatever that’s defined as. It’s not like according to the Bible, while God is loving and merciful, He’s also just and must rain down His wrath on those who break His law or anything.

Overall, the path to the ultimate truth according to her was by being unconditionally loving and by following whatever truth fits you…which is entirely subjective and contradictory.

Another interesting conversation I had was with a member of what’s possibly the most obvious pseudo-Christian cult I’ve ever seen. This cult is called the Church of Shambhala Vajradhara Maitreya Sangha, and its leader is a dude who calls himself Buddha Maitreya and claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. As such, he believes that it’s his job to restore the Noosphere through Christ consciousness, amongst other things.

But what is the Noosphere? I’ll let him explain:

The Noosphere is the planetary sphere of mind or thinking layer of the planet Earth. To grasp the idea of the Noosphere, we must elevate our consciousness and open ourselves to the most general, elemental, and cosmic principles of life on Earth.

The Noosphere is the next stage in the evolution of human consciousness. As the mental sheathe of the planet, the Noosphere characterizes mind and consciousness as a unitary phenomenon. This means that the quality and nature of our individual and collective thoughts directly affects the Noosphere and creates the quality of our environment – the biosphere.

Krishnamurti on How Not to Be Born Again

Jiddu Krishnamurti viewed the idea of being “born again” (reincarnation) as a continuity of the “me”—the bundle of memories, conditioning, and thought-based self-interest. He argued that true freedom is not about manipulating future lives, but about ending the continuity of this self in the present moment.

Here is how Krishnamurti described not being “born again,” which he called “real incarnation” or dying while living:

1. Die to the Past Daily
   Krishnamurti taught that “death” is the ending of everything accumulated, such as wounds, pains, and memories.

Ending the “Me”: Reincarnation is the continuation of thought-based consciousness. To not be born again is to stop this continuity.

Dying Now: You must “die” to your attachments, conditioning, and personality every day. “Die to everything of yesterday, so that your mind is always fresh, young, innocent, full of vigour and passion”.

Total Negation: The mind must strip itself of all knowledge and conditioning.

1. End Conflict in the Present
   Krishnamurti maintained that the future is built by the present, so changing the future depends entirely on “what is” today.

Immediate Action: “Incarnate today, afresh – not in the next life!”.

No Postponement: Hoping for a better next life is a postponement of tackling one’s inner chaos.

Remaining with “What Is”: Conflict ends when you observe your greed or jealousy as a fact without trying to change it into its opposite (like non-violence).

1. Dissolve the “Self”
   The “self” is a bundle of memories and thoughts, which creates a center that perpetuates itself.

No Center: When the mind is free from the center (the “I”), it is free from the limitations of time and memory.

Total Observation: When you observe the self-centered activity of the mind with total attention, that observation brings its own ending.

1. Empty the Mind
   For something totally new to emerge, the mind must be silent, which is only possible when it is empty of the known.

Silence of the Mind: “A mind that has understood the whole movement of thought becomes extraordinarily quiet, absolutely silent. That silence is the beginning of the new”.

No Method: You cannot use a method, system, or discipline to achieve this, as those are tools of thought that strengthen the self.

In summary, Krishnamurti’s way of not being born again is to live with such total attention and awareness that the “me” dies completely in each moment, leaving the mind fresh, silent, and new, without the burden of the past.

17 Foolish #Beliefs in #Hinduism

For centuries, #rituals, #superstitions, and #dogmas have shaped daily life in India under the weight of #religious tradition. From #astrology and #reincarnation to cow #worship and #miracle claims, countless beliefs are repeated without question. In this video, we expose 17 of the most foolish and damaging beliefs in Hinduism — not to mock, but to reveal the cost of holding on to #illusions.

Fun fact... According to the #reincarnation theory...

For which there is super strong support, based on the incredible number of people with documented #NDE experiences...

... Human soul re-enters a new meat bot a couple of months after birth (not all meat bots have riders NB).
Memories of the previous incarnation can be retained up to 3.5years old.
Sometimes you can have super spooky conversations with kids about "the time before they died"

But anyway, these two were Mexican cartel members, I am sure of it.

I posted the 4th chapter of my #novel in AnimeList and #KADOKAWA's #Isekai writing contest last night.

The integration of palmistry and reincarnation explores how physical features of hands may reflect karmic lessons from past lives. #Palmistry #reincarnation https://connectparanormal.net/2025/03/10/exploring-palmistry-and-reincarnation-a-spiritual-journey/

When illusions and lies threatens to over take society more than they already are - one thing to do is speak so much truth it bursts the illusions.

Reincarnation: Thoughts Are Like Seeds That Sprout Into Words and Deeds: https://santmatradhasoami.blogspot.com/2024/07/reincarnation-thoughts-are-like-seeds.html

So, I've always believed in #Karma and #reincarnation. The past life I remember the most was as a female warrior who lived in the #ArasRiverValley around 1200BCE, among a egalitarian society of shepherds (#Arakians) who were also warriors (defenders), and were only called upon when needed. Among the deities we honored were the equivalent of #Manat and #Alat -- goddesses of Fate and Death, respectively. I knew when I heard the news about the helicopter crash that it happened in that valley. The gods of old have awakened -- and they are pissed!

We really need to stop calling obvious schizophrenia, manic delusions, and psychosis ‘unverified personal gnosis.’ A person whom I knew 15 years ago has persistent beliefs, regardless of facts, that they knew me in a past life and we made some pact to alter the future to save the world from Nazis. It’s insane, but everyone in the occult Discord is nodding their heads and validating it.

A delusion is a persistent belief regardless of facts. This person has dreams and hallucinations that they believe are gods, spirits, and telepathy. In these hallucinations and delusions, the spirits tell them who random strangers were in a past life. A lot of these delusions are obviously paranoid and inevitably roll into a conspiracy theory about Nazis. This is very terrifying. This means, based on a random occurrence with a person, they will create a parasocial narrative that manifests as them knowing this person.

Most schizophrenia delusions emerge from noise and thus have no actual information. You can uncover that it is a delusion by asking the person for details. For example, if they make a claim about remembering a past life in Egypt, you can do the equivalent of asking them who the President of the United States is now. I did that with this person. They were claiming to have known me and other people in a past life in Egypt 3000 years ago, so I looked up what was going on around that time. I asked them who the high priest was, who the pharaoh was, and what they remember happening around that time. All of it was wrong.

That caused most of that Discord to jump all over me and imply that it was fine because it was their personal gnosis. To be clear, this person is creating parasocial relationships and narratives based on delusional narratives that they are applying to random people they meet.

Phrasing things as they happened in a different reality or a past life is a way to avoid the falsification of and is a way to rationalize the delusion. Claiming that you knew a person in a past life is a way to justify the parasocial relationship. It is not unverified personal gnosis. It’s mental illness. There is nothing magical about mental illness. If I had a nickel for every time a schizophrenic occultist spun up a delusional narrative to justify an adversarial parasocial relationship with me, I’d be rich. This is a major problem.

When you have experiential #consciousness of the #realities of #reincarnation the #karma of #society looks vastly different.

#Reincarnation. So many that have no experience of the #realities will claim it is not real and people that think it is are crazy.

Yet there is so much experiential #evidence to say otherwise.

People truly should do their #research before they claim people are crazy - when they themselves are the ones that are lacking #awareness

I often hear people say: “we’re only human after all.”

I cringe inside and think: “do you even know what being human is?”

Only living within the subjugation of limitations, by a society that keeps the masses ignorant so they can be fed upon, is a severely limited experience of being human.

Take it from those of us who have memories of our previous lives and have had visions of what’s coming all our lives.

We’re tired of living in your prisons of complicity.

When one perceives from a higher state of being, from their soul which is from a higher dimension, they see from that origin and perspective through the astral dimensions into the earth plane of where they are manifesting their physical incarnation. Often times people that see from their origins also have consciousness of previous lives before their current incarnation. If a person, much of the current cult of society, sees from within their projections then they are failing to see from their true origins. They fail to see from their souls, or have experiential consciousness of their soul, which is the space of their true being that is beyond what we term time. They fail to have consciousness of their spirit. They fail to have spiritual consciousness. Our spirit astral projects, so to speak, it resonates, from our soul through spaces of time and lifetimes into what we consider the current time and we manifest our incarnation within the physical realm.

🌹I have been remembering who I am my whole life, I just didn't realize. I am just starting to recognize how it all fits together. I am a #multidimentional #sovereign #Being.

Sometimes people come to me with concerns about the fact they feel they are in the wrong body. That they should be in a male or female body instead.

As a therapist who can be psychic and is empathic -

Sometimes as I am interacting with them I am seeing and feeling one or more of their past lives and how they had the body they are currently longing for in those lives.

If the realities of reincarnation were discussed more openly in the social narrative of discourse in society people might have a wider perspective on the things they are dealing with in life.
