A Prayer for the New Agers

Date July 19, 2006 Posted by Amy Hall

While cleaning out my car yesterday, I found a paper hidden away in the 2005 layer.  It was “A Prayer for the New Age”–something Roger and I picked up during this fact-finding mission last year.

 

It’s difficult to read.  In fact, I hesitate to even put it on the blog, but I think it’s important that we think about the beliefs others have–beliefs that have real implications in the lives of real people, including some of my friends.  What if you believed this:

 

I am the creator of the Universe.

I am the Father and Mother of the Universe.

Everything came from me.

Everything shall return to me.

Mind, spirit and body are my temples

for the Self to realize in them

My Supreme Being and Becoming.

 

All I can say is, a universe where I am God is a very poor universe indeed.  And my prayer for the New Agers is that they would find the true source of the universe in all of His beauty, majesty, and holiness.  Being His creature is far more wonderful than being one’s own second-rate god.

 

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name!

    Amy, (As you know) in my college days I had strayed from Him, and tried almost everything else that is out there. After years of searching, I came up empty, and empty-handed. Your prayer was answered for me, and I could not agree with you more!

    For the record, I never tried being a supreme being. I don’t think I could have handled the responsibility.

    And Amy, sweet Amy, you really do need to clean out your car more often ;)
