New Age AA confront New Age

It's strange how being superstitious actually provide some form of pseudo-explaination about one's current plight and served as a placebo effect when they try to alter/do certain things to bring about 'a change of luck.'

I was talking to a colleague and she mentioned about Feng Shui, changing of name, etc and all that superstitious stuff and somehow believe that it works if you find the right person.

You cannot imagine the kind of difficulty I had to correct all those years of misconception within a short span of ten odd minutes.

How would a change in your chinese name change your life? I mean like why?

As absurd as it sounds, people still continue to believe in that sort of nonsense.

I must explain myself: my knowledge in astrology is merely a tool for self awareness and psychological assessment. In my belief: no amount of crystal, talisman, or whatever can divert the advert of a karmic trigger. The logic is simple: if you want to study your misery (effect), then you examine at the source (cause) where it first began and work towards evolution (future).

To work towards evolution is to take action in changing certain misery caused by our lack of self awareness. That useless crystal, talisman or whatever is not going to change your fate in any ways.

The truth is that if you want to change your fate - you got to change your mind. And before you can change your mind, you got to change your perspective.

People are successful because they adopt personality or mindset that makes them successful.

And it has nothing to do with the piece of jade in their pocket
