The Age of Aquarius song became the mantra and utopian dream of hippies of the 1960s’ and 70’s. These undisciplined Dr. Spock babies thought that they could end war on earth by saying peace and love, wearing flowers in their hair, and rebelling against authority. They thought that they would bring in the Utopian Age of Aquarius of New Age pagan lore. Most actually were Marxist Maoist and New Age dupes. This was their song.
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine inOh, let it shine, c’mon
Now everybody just sing along
Let the sun shine in
Open up your heart and let it shine on in
When you are lonely, let it shine on
Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
And when you feel like you’ve been mistreated
And your friends turn away
Just open your heart, and shine it on in
The leaders of the movement thought the New Age of Aquarius where peace and love would rule the planet was their destiny. But this same “enlightened” generation rejected Christianity and replaced it with Marxism and eastern pagan spiritualism. Like pagan witch doctors and shamans before them, the leaders of this movement thought they could obtain spiritual enlightenment through drug induced altered states of consciousness. Instead, the use of drugs opened their minds up to demonic deception.
Now, this same deceived generation is about to reap its own folly. Their idealism and rebellion against all established moral good helped enable the rise of fascist dictators and evil religious on earth. They thought man could bring a utopia upon earth. However, in the real world tyrants rule over people who worship their leaders but deny the God that created them.
They are a generation of idealistic dreamers and appeasers that claim evil is good, and good is evil. They appease and enable predatory dictators and religious cult leaders to enslave whole nations and create new axis of evil leading to more wars. These delusional idealistic dreamers cannot tell the difference between good and evil. In fact, they see no evil other than what is good.
We are getting close to the grand finally for the generation that got all its answers in all the wrong places. The Marxist humanists and fascists now control most of the earth. For example, this generation of idealists appeases and enables fascist Islamist’s that enslave and control 1.5 billion Muslim people. The appeasers do not live in reality. Islamists would never ever tolerate people with their social liberal and New Age beliefs.
In their idealistic communist utopia all people will just freely share their wealth and it will be administrated by a benevolent government for the benefit of all. Nevertheless, everywhere this communist idealism was tried it failed. It always fails because the whole concept is a delusion that denies human nature. If humans were perfect and all pulled their own weight, then mankind might freely share all things for the common good. But man without God is evil. Making man good cannot be achieved through dictates of human government. The Jesus they deny is the only one that can restore mankind to reflect God’s good instead of Satan’s evil. Only then can there be any Utopia on earth. Those reflecting Satan can only bring hell on earth.
Until Jesus returns, there will always be a new axis of evil that will take peace from the earth. The world is not entering a Utopian Age of Aquarius. We are actually entering another period where fascist dictators and evil religious cults will shatter any of the lingering Age of Aquarius delusions.
Editor note: This is a modification of an article I wrote on Aug 21, 2010. It is posted on my old blog.
Having come of age in the 1960s, I remember this time well. Saw my first hippie in the early ’60s hitchhiking along Highway 101. Had friends who got heavily into TM. A college roommate of mine was big into the drug culture. Somehow, I managed to slide through the decade untouched by all this. Back then my heroes all wore cowboy hats and rode white horses. Now all those Aquarians have grown up and become politicians.
I was having my head & ribs kicked in until I passed out for 14 of my first 18 years so I was CERTAIN there was no UTOPIAN AGE. I IDENTIFIED with BRAVE souls of Selma as they OVERCAME WITH GOD’S HELP & GRACE HORRID CONDITIONS.Although white I at least saw DIGNITY & COURAGE DISPLAYED when the US press covered them. I was so relieved my brain wasn’t horribly affected by the beatings so I chose to protect it.
In 1980 at the time I was starting to take Holy Scripture seriously, I started my vocation in commercial nuclear power.
I was thrilled finding the study merging in HOLY Scripture.
And my LOVING ABBA GOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THIS WONDER!
And now the counter culture thinks they can eradicate hate by censoring hate speech and through violent protests while they are the ones doing most of the hating.
I agree with everything said!
