This edition of New Frontier Magazine explores some paranormal phenomena from a consciousness perspective. While we are not a paranormal magazine as such, we couldn't call ourselves new age, holistic or metaphysical without an examination of the phenomena, including UFOs and Crop Circles. I trust you will enjoy this edition, and that you will subscribe to our print edition that is somewhat different from our online edition.
We are delighted to discover that our online magazine has become one of the most popular sites in our genre. In our first week online with the last edition, we had over 12,000 hits! Watch us continue to grow...
As you know by now, if you are able to access our online magazine, there are many sites in cyberland that call themselves New Age. It seems to be the name many have chosen to identify such things as meditation, the paranormal, and the transcendental.
Unfortunately the nature of some of the offerings in the cyberworld is sometimes far from what I would call "new age." I have been active in two of the more popular online services for several years. On both of them, I have found the nature of the posts often close-minded, hostile, judgmental, attacking, and all those words that don't soften the heart.
And, it isn't only those visiting the New Age section of these services, it's management itself. I have been banned from one of the services' New Age section for over a year. Why? Because I simply asked the sysop some direct questions, like why he thought _A Course In Miracles_ should not be a part of a New Age section? The sysop said it was a Christian text, and relegated it to the religion section. From that point on anything I said was suspect. I continued to be vocal, and offered them the nectar of controversy. It ended in being locked out, accused of being "too commercial." I repeatedly asked for some evidence of my TOS (Terms of Service) violations, but they never could find any. And, unlike a prison sentence, I am banned...ostracized forever. Management individuals in both services have threatened to sue me if I mention certain instances, or their names or even the name of the service. And two words you will find get you in trouble on the services: Fascism and censorship. It's happening so
On the bright side there are many beautiful, inspirational, and love-filled sites in this cyberworld. We have listed some of them in this issue under "Friends of New Frontier," such as "Peace Page," and Dan Millman's Home page among others.
There is a lot of love on the planet, and we find it when we are simply in that state of consciousness called "love." Open your heart, open your eyes and bathe in the delight of beautiful...the gentle...the peaceful, then let it out, share it, dance, sing, have a total great experience. I call it the path of Tantra, but love manifest also is a definition. The world is filled with agitation, and dis-ease. We can either be a part of that world, and suffer in our self created misery. Or get out and play, make it all a dance. Unfortunately when you are in the suffering you can't always see the joy. Today, make a list of some fun things you can do. Some creative things. The go ahead and do them. They don't have to be humongous. Try a few little things. Maybe play with a kid. Go into nature. Enjoy these endtimes lovers....
