Metaphysical bullshit versus religious bullshit

Can somebody explain to me the difference between "sending positive vibes" and "sending prayers".
It seems to me people are replacing crosses with crystals. Its the same bullshit. Do you not see this?

If its bullshit what is your concern? Im not religious and im deacreasingly spiritual with each day... But good vibes are basically just a way to share a shred of hope/acknowledge someone.

Prayers are speaking to god and hoping he comes through, vibes are releasing your intentions into the universe. That is the difference. One is god, the other is godhead. Opposite sides of the same coin.

Honestly most of my grief comes from the fact that some people refuse to connect the two. This stubbornness comes from both sides of the field so I guess I cant aim my grief at anyone in particular.

I can deal with that. I would like to add on, however, that "releasing intentions into the universe" is equally absurd.

Absolutely, but I do feel eastern philosophy to have more appeal as it is more empowering. I've always been a fan. I think you need to have a balance. I align with buddhism mostly but I still talk to god sometimes.

In my opinion, and take it with a grain of salt, is that vibrations actually change the makeup of your reality. The emotional vibes and thoughts that each person out out affects their perception of reality. It's the idea of creating the reality you wish to see for yourself in real time by using spirituality. I dig this more cause rather then putting your eggs into the omnipotent ruler basket, you are putting your eggs into your own basket.
It stil is all basically the same though.

I have an amazing book called "jesus and the Buddha"
I identify with jesus and Christianity but only because i was raised that way. Buddhism is awesome as well

Why do people who've never had a particular experience in their life have the obsession of talking shit about people who have?
You don't understand the relationship different people have with the universe. Because you've never experienced it. You can program yourself to experience anything. If you're interested in programming yourself to be some sort of logical robot who lives in a grey box that's cool with me. Sounds boring but your life. You could program yourself to astrally project and get your mind programmed by extraterrestrials. You could also program to channel and cycle so much tantric/sexual energy into your partner that you both orgasm for 30 minutes straight.
The latter isn't easily possible if you're all caught up on being some 'science brain' who only believes what stuffy suits in a lab have discovered about the universe. And don't get me wrong I love science when its applicable. But rounded to the nearest digit they still know practically nothing about the nature of the universe, and exploring that space on your own without rigid preconditions will teach you more than they've ever experienced in their entire lives often.

My thoughts exactly.
As long as you're not harming anyone with your actions, then so be it, do as thou wilt.

They are 2 different interpretations of the same things. They both have certain amounts of bullshit topped on them. The only difference there is the exact sort of bullshit.

new age hippies are often just about as dogmatic, narrow-minded, judgmental, and intolerant as their conservative religious counterparts. Another common trait between the two is the tendency to have an excessive degree of certainty in the belief system, with the subsequent sense of self-righteousness. Damn dirty hippies
