Course Description

Do you believe in Karma, Reincarnation or Dream Analysis but don't know why? Always wondered how the New Age Movement developed? What are its roots? Does it come from Eastern or Western religions? Is it perhaps a new religion in itself? Did the Freemasons, Astrology, Buddhism or Hypnotism have anything to do with its history? What about the Theosophical Movement or the "Illuminati"? Did it all start when a pact was made to create a New World Order? This course will reveal the fascinating yet well-researched facts about the historical development of what is today broadly called the "New Age Movement". Whether you are a New Age disciple, or one who thinks the New Age Movement is the platform for the Antichrist, this course is for you!
