The Age of Aquarius, or our Higher Power? And don't give me that Satan rules the world cop-out! Satan only has power over us because of our own fearful nature.

Tough question. I believe that more than ever Satan is busy and that men are subcumbing to his wiles now more than ever. Rules and laws have gotten lax over the years and pretty soon there will be no rules to break.

The astrology that "new age of aquarius" is derived from is really 2000 year old weak astronomy, and the "new age of aquarius" is about 400 years off. Right now we are entering a relatively dark age, astrologically speaking.
When you say "God", if you mean God of the Christian Bible then that "cop-out" is actually rigorous theology. If you mean some other god, or some other bible then you have a place to call it a cop-out. Satan, as such is an idea first presented in the christian bible. Either you are referencing the being described there, or you have a different newly contrived being, from a different bible, to which you have applied the same sequence of noises as a name.
As someone who walked for about 12 years deep into the ideas and practices of "new age" I can tell you a few things about it. It is absolutely not new, its old, its been around continuously, and its about worshipping man, not about giving glory to God the creator, and the Savior. Sure supernatural phenomena exist, but existing doesnt make it somehow fundamentally good. For something like that to be true, there could be no sin, no right or wrong, and no evil act, and thats just not true. Just because its phenomena doesnt mean your ideas about it are valid or authoritative.
Not to be rude, but in my economy, my experience trumps your lack of experience and your vague idea every day. I know the path I walked, and where it got me, and you dont know it and cant speak to it. Until you understand, its presumptious to teach.

All time belongs to God
Jesus said 'I am he who is' or he described himself as 'The One'
You could take that to be a reference to Unified Theory (Stephen Hawking et al).
Anyway in terms of the Age I'd say were moving into a less institutionalised age and that there is scope for many of the principles which were, say 'housed', in the institutional religions to be en-cultured into society, if you like.
Satan....Yes he exists. Very disturbing. Very dangerous. Don't go there. Sure Satan has something to say it's just that like Richard Dawkins and selfish gene theory it's not helpful or uplifting.
Go with the positive stuff and leave the dark side to people who can survive in the God's wastelands (we're miserable bastards and my advise would be not to apply for membership)
But Yes to encode love into our culture at a micro level would be a beautiful and uplifting thing indeed. People who can do that sort of stuff are truly Children of God (I'm thinking of those SOAM Watch people and the like)
Peace, Love,Joy

You have much to learn my friend.
Satan has no power over God's Elect.
Yes, this is the Age of Men.
The relgion of the World is HUMANISM.
It is taught in Buddhism and the Unitarian Church and is now being united by the Vatican.
They are uniting all the world's religions into one.
This is what the "AGE OF AQUARIUS" refers to...in the carnal sense.
In the Spiritual, it is the Uniting of God and His Bride...His Elect...His True Church, or Body of Believers.
We came from Him and will now go back to Him.
This is a Mystery and is secret from the world.

Neither Satan nor God exist. It has always been the age of men...it is simply a matter of how long it will take us to grow up and take responsibility for ourselves!

The "rapture" has been coming, in accordance to its proponents, because touching directly to the mid-1800s; it incredibly is whilst the assumption became improved. previous to that, it became no longer a factor of any Christian coaching. It nevertheless isn't interior the Catholic and Orthodox churches to boot as some Protestant derivatives. Jesus will come back -- as quickly as, no longer two times -- and that i found that for the time of (Protestant) Sunday college, at approximately age 9. I first heard touching directly to the "rapture" interior the Nineteen Seventies whilst Hal Lindsey's e book got here out. at that element, i became in my previous due little ones/early 20s.

New Age means many different things to different people. According to the Bible humanity is now in the new covenant age.

Men. It's all about us. We don't need some "higher power" telling us what to do.
