NOTE : The statements above are generally wise and hold validity, but I caution the reader to not be tricked by the "New Age" core concept. Quoting from above, "It's people that choose their own path rather than follow dogma".
The idea set forth is to be a "free spirit". One must exercise freely whatever it is that your desires dictate from free love and free living to avoiding all of society's restrictions, rules and authority. It is utter foolishness to defy God's Laws and the Laws of Creation. The entire Cosmos operates on "rules" for orderlyness and right living. There are no exceptions for humans on Planet Earth. PHB
