The "Drag and Drop" phenomena is getting more frequent in the metaphysics and new age community (including Wicca) . I am sorry if this short article might piss off a few but these are the truth I have observed so far .

The "Drag and Drop" phenomena is a term I created which refers to people importing in knowledge from other cultures with very little true knowledge of a particular culture and adapting and using it in their own systems with much ignorance and misconception . You may not notice it because it seems well integrated into the newage community but in fact if you reach deeper into misunderstood and imported concepts , you can find many points missing .

Here's a quotation from a New Age website : "Realizing that psychological problems have direct influence upon one's body Temple, Tibetan Holy men began correcting the state of mind, and made Sanscrit Symbols to remind the people of the divine power in their daily lives. Other uses for the Symbols include: improving health, increasing happiness, aiding in meditation, sending prayers, healing, and helping one's evolution. "

I would not want to name the websites so as to embarrass them . Sanskrit is not just created for all those prayers and stuff . Sanskrit was created as the first Indian language ! The creators are not Tibetan holy man ! The creators are actually an early race of Indians ! Sanskrit symbols are not made to remind of divine power although the language itself is made in itself of high frequency energies of you will .

I would like to quote from other places but currently now , I am running late for appointment and I just want to express my views , so I can only quote from a source .

You can notice many ignorance insubjects related to the Orient and 'exotic cultures' like the Mayans and many more. Just a note for people who want to adapt things from other culture , NOT EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET IS TRUE . You need to do more research , and even meet the natives if you could , to learn more about their cultures . SOMETIMES , EVEN BOOKS CAN BE UNRELIABLE . You need to thread well and decide for yourself what you thing is reliable to accept or not .

LOL I knew your weren't always the quiet kid, lol.

Sheesh got yourself in an uproar there.

Sometimes alot of things are taken over, changed, adn claimed as one's own, with the original true nature lost and forgotten.


I yam what I yam, and that's all that I yam!!
