few words about the youngest of world religions: Islam. Muhammad's preaching was a breakthrough for the situation of women in Arabia. Many girls, at birth, were cruelly murdered it did not pose an economic benefit. Muhammad ended up with this barbaric custom and established a right for the relationship between man and woman, a very pronounced right by the specific circumstances in which the Arabs were at that time (for example, laws relating to polygamy), perhaps deficit in our eyes, but that attitude resulted in a breakthrough. Muhammad insists, according to Biblical tradition, in the dignity of women as human beings. But precisely to ensure that dignity, Muhammad finished in overprotection that eventually killed the prophet and Islam lacks clearer guidance, has turned against the woman herself, creating situations discrimination. Such, for example, the use of the veil that, depending on the country, can become a real torture.
The cultural situation of women in Islam differs from one country to another, some have more freedom but in others they are constrained to the walls of the home, where sometimes there is a paradox that they are true queens. Perhaps the problem is that Islam does not distinguish the specific area of \u200b\u200breligious law.
As new religions, New Age, saying that it is a complex and ambivalent. It is, in general, pseudo-religion, with no fixed doctrinal and organizational structure. Many are simply placebos that generate the illusion of self. Are far from reaching the spiritual depth of traditional religions, which they take this and removed the other, as appropriate, giving the appearance of spirituality, but not require doctrinal compromise. Especially use concepts from Eastern religions which, when transposed to the Western mind that the models according to their own cultural forms, create mental spaces nonsense, looking up. Women are, by their psychology, better suited than men to such experiences as these experiences are basically moving in the world of intuition and emotions, which she feels very comfortable. The problem is that often drapes Smoke that promise much but ultimately not give more than any intense emotion from time to time and just frustration. This is what happens to confuse psychology and mental restraint techniques with religion, which sometimes can be lethal to the psyche. In particular, the practice of Reiki is especially dangerous, triggering mental mechanisms that can become uncontrollable, I myself have been an eyewitness to how there was a very serious mental disorder in a girl before this kind of practice.
Women do not have a special role in these pseudo-religion, unless as a mere being autoerotic, in the technical sense: absolute self-sufficiency emotional, sexual, psychological. The body does not matter, only care about the soul (actually reduced to living energy) and their perceptions and feelings (ie, the perception of the spirit is identified with mental states of being), so you can do with the body whatever you like, it has no moral authority (in this respect is a return to the gnosis of the century, but with sophisticated nuances). This just acting as a placebo that resembles a religious experience required by the psyche itself, without contradiction to a hedonistic lifestyle.
This is not to negatively evaluate all the ideas that trade what is known as New Age. There are some that can work as a starting point for a more serious approach to religion and human spiritual reality. But suffice it to say, as a warning to navigators, something well known to historians of religion and belief, that some of the most popular New Age, were designed, with its current characteristics for two characters actually claims: the Madame Blavatsky and disturbing Germanic necromancer, notorious for its political adventure: Adolph Hitler.
As St. Paul would say more or less ": .. look what we have ... And choose the best!
