New Age

New Age
"New Age" is a catch-all term that encompasses much that is spiritual. New Age also has levels of seriousness: from scientific experiments with Extra Sensory perception (ESP) to people who claim to have brought Elvis Presley back from the dead for an afternoon shopping trip. People involved in the new age movement may also belong to an established religious group, yet the term new age connotes a break with established religion. It is associated with spiritual self-awareness and such subjects as channelling, auras, life after death, reincarnation, past life regression, talking with the dead through seances, astrology, tarot cards, and palm reading. The new age movement is growing rapidly as we pass into the third millennium.
