For the past four decades my research has frequently found me living in various parts of the world with minority religions who believe and do things that would seem, at least prima facie, to be both incredible and incomprehensible. I have also found myself drawn into taking an active, and often uncomfortable role in the so-called ‘cult scene’. Although it is impossible to generalise about the thousands of religious movements that currently exist, in this talk I shall discuss some of the characteristics that new new religions tend to display and how these are likely to change within a relatively short period. I shall also describe how, when stepping out of the ivory tower, one can find oneself in a Monty Python situation, discovering the familiar in the unfamiliar and the unfamiliar in the familiar.
There are some things we cannot get our heads around, like billions of light years or collapsing the walls of gravity. However we have the capacity to relate to mystery with other ways of knowing. With this we can explore the cosmos of wholeness and release the powers of healing. Our ship into this world is stillness and the pure silence of attention. Our challenge today is to recognise and integrate these different ways of knowing.
