I Don’t Want to Wish My Days Away

05/20/22

While listening to a graduation speech, the one I couldn’t attend because I am drowning in homework, I realize my hypocrisy.

The advice I’ve given, I haven’t followed.

I remember when I was younger, I couldn’t wait to be an adult. Couldn’t wait to be my own master, to buy the cool stuff I saw on tv (must be 18 or older to call), to be free.

But adults aren’t free. Adults pay bills. Adults need money. Adults need to work. Humans are always slaves to something.

Still, there is beauty in every phase of life, freedom to choose what we want to do and when we want to do it. We can choose stress or joy. We can choose work or fun. We choose.

And today I choose to enjoy my present. I’ve wasted too many years of my life wishing and waiting for “what’s next” and completely overlooking the blessing of where I am right now.

I won’t do it anymore.

Yes, I am drowning in homework. But there is still joy in this moment and I have so many blessings. I am able to study at home. I have enough time to dedicate to my studies. I have a home. I have wi-fi and a laptop. I have electricity and running water and food in the fridge. I lack nothing.

I am going to live in the moment and come what may, I will be alright.

“Don’t wish your days away.”

Why would you be against the new age movement? Like what is wrong with people becoming spiritually enlightened, amethyst on the forehead and all I still think it’s better than the past’s huge emphasis on abrahamic religions.

Because nearly everything within the movement is a misinterpretation of actual traditions. It found its inception when misinterpreted Eastern philosophies found their way into Europe and was only built onto further with inaccurate information from other botched historical theses, stolen and misinformed approaches to native traditions, along with information which has been completely fabricated and sold (quite literally, as the movement has a long history with pyramid schemes and gimmicks) as factual truth. It can’t be spiritual enlightenment if it’s misinformation and flat out lies. It’s fantasy and dream-addled nonsense. If you honestly think it’s less harmful, I strongly urge you to read up on how it’s infected and harmed Native traditions, both in America and in other countries. It’s incredibly damaging and misleading. And though this is the less important part, from a magical perspective, most popular New Age ideas on magic are completely nonsensical. Magic is both a science and an art, with an incredibly long history of study behind it. New Agers tend to throw all of that out and say ‘It’s just about belief’, some even carrying it into placebo territory, when that’s not it at all.

I recommend a documentary called “White Shamans and Plastic Medicine Men”. It can be found on Youtube. It shows how white bastardizations of Native American traditions really harmed the Indigenous people of North America. And it came out in 1996. This is not a new problem. This is not something we’re just now talking about. Native people have pointing out the harm New Agers have been doing for over 20 years. We’re just now choosing to listen to them.

Not to mention the pipeline that exists from certain New Age beliefs to anti-science and anti-medicine conspiracy theories. (Put. The essential oils. DOWN.)

I am literally begging you all to think critically about your practices and question where they come from. Not just the culture they’re claiming to be from, but potential motives of the person trying to sell it to you.

Always be asking yourself why.
