"To speak about the Age of Aquarius and to rejoice in its imminent arrival is not enough. You must prepare to receive the new currents this constellation is already projecting throughout space. Aquarius brings with it a revolution in technology as well as in concepts related to the human psyche. But the most important revolution concerns the notion of universal brotherhood. The Age of Aquarius must teach humanity that we are no longer to work only for ourselves, our family and our country, but also for the whole earth. This new philosophy is, of course, based on a science. Those who are ready to embrace this ideal of universal brotherhood must learn to elevate themselves by means of thought in order to contact the divine world. It is in contacting the divine world that we open the sources of light, love, and peace which will one day inundate the entire earth."

The number of people following this dogma appears to be increasing. Where does it say that people aren't allowed to operate solely for their own casuses? It makes no sense to me. This reality is full of so much freedom and abundance that if a higher power felt it was important to be served that there's enough people to go around.
Seems highly suspect to me, it does, like, "You've had your fun, but now it's time to grow up and accept the harsh reality of life." It's yet another attempt to oppress the masses into doing the bidding of a select few.
There's nothing wrong with serving others (so long as the one doing the serving doesn't give so much that they can't give anymore) and there's nothing wrong with being self serving.
Armilus: I'm agreeing that the New Age has begun already and that the transition is slow, but I'm taking issue with the concept of "love and light from ... deluded rainbow sheep." These allegedly "deluded rainbow sheep" have nothing but love for their universe and for humanity, and may represent the beginnings of an understanding of our universe. If we all manage to somehow transcend into Love And Light, and the transcendence makes life a whole lot more fun, count me in!
