The New Age movement is a mixture of Eastern religions and Western science, with an emphasis on the individual. They do not reject other beliefs but see them as part of a process of human awakening. Ultimate reality is "being," or consciousness, which manifests itself in two ways—the visible universe, accessible by means of the normal conscience, and the invisible universe, accessible through altered states of consciousness, for example by means of drugs. Any point of the universe contains the information of the whole universe. Therefore, the whole universe is also in our minds! Man is separated from “God” only by ignorance. Man must realize that he himself is "God."
