Zeitgeist 3- Moving Forward

[Face of the Golden Falcon]

not trying to be combative here; just trying to pick your brain.

...for sure.

and what's the purpose of that?

wouldn't embracing eastern philosophy run counter to the pragmatic and materialistic worldview that has us running through the proverbial rat race?

Yes. Embracing true Eastern philosophy would have that effect. The problem is that whatever is brought into the spotlight of the masses appears to be there for a reason as a watered down, hijacked version of what ever that thing is. Obviously for the past however many years western culture has been dominated by western religion which has people looking outside of themselves for a solution. I have noticed that amongst the mainstream so-called "new-age" movement the focus has become on what is inside but answers to the puzzle are still being presented as something outside.

"Do what makes you happy" seems to be the catch cry. Unfortunately what makes some people happy involves treading on others. It's already evident in the shift in society of people saying and doing whatever they "feel" regardless of who they hurt. And in a watered down "feeling" religion where there is no longer strict moral law people can get away with such behavior with what appears to be no consequences.

where did you get the theory that the Illuminati have an agenda to bring Eastern religions to the foreground?

I've come across it amongst a few conspiracy theorists, and with my own observation I'd have to agree with it at the moment.

Obviously if it is assumed for the sake of the point being made that we are living in a controlled world then the best way to control the masses would not be to just have them live in one certain controlled state forever. Eventually as is the natural way of the revolution of the soul people are going to want something more and eventually break free. The best way is to either hijack the movements (trends) of the people or to create the movements of the people so that they feel that they are moving forward. The best way to control someone is to make them feel like they are free, yes?
