Confusing New Age Concepts [View all]

After reading some reviews of the Anita Moorjani book, I get the feeling that not everyone understands the concept of “unconditional love”. Too many seem to confuse the idea of no judgment in the next life with no judgment in this life. That if a person doesn’t have anything to “fear” in the next life, then they might as well do as they please in this life, no matter how it harms another human.

It’s a rather simplistic conclusion, and one that gets bandied about by both the Bible thumpers and septics alike. In the case of the septics, the “conclusion” is used primarily to mock and dismiss, while the fundamentalists can’t seem to imagine that God could be non-judgmental.

What is missed in all of this is that unconditional love means we cannot superimpose our ideas of what Love is supposed to be or supposed to do on top of this concept. It also means that it’s a kind of Love beyond anything we (or most humans residing on the Earth now) can possibly recreate. That’s why NDEs make such a huge impression on those that end up in such places of Love. There are only glimpses of such Love in our lives as it’s really not possible to keep that Love going 24/7/365 in our minds, hearts, and bodies. It would burn us out, and then our life would be no more. We can still do what we can to bring it here, to share and implore others to create as best they can.

It doesn’t mean that people can chuck their responsibilities to themselves, to each other, or to society. To do that which harms others means you will be judged by your fellow people and punished according to established laws and rules. Earth-life is not the next life. If it was, then there’d be no reason for Earth-life. We probably wouldn’t even know what that was if the Earth and physical life didn’t exist.

So, there’s also no reason to think that one could possibly be equal to the other. Jumping to absurd conclusions will always be absurd.

I hope I’ve made some semblance of sense. If y’all have anything to add, or to clarify, please do so
