New Age (New Age Movement and New Age Spirituality) ~ a social and spiritual movement that seeks Universal Truth and the attainment of the highest human potential. It combines aspects of cosmology, astrology, esotericism, alternative medicine, music, collectivism, sustainability, and naturalism. New Age Spirituality is characterized by an individual approach to practices and philosophies while rejecting religious doctrine and dogma.

The New Age Movement includes elements of older spiritual and religious traditions including atheism and monotheism, pantheism and polytheism, combined with science. New Age practices and philosophies draw inspiration from Buddhism and Chinese folk religions, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Sufism, and Shamanism and Native American cultures, as well as others; with strong influences from Gnosticism and Paganism.

The modern New Age Movement began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, although elements can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It gained momentum in the 1980s and strengthened with the Harmonic Convergence (an astrological phenomenon) event in 1987. Diverse individuals from around the world practice New Age Spirituality.

Naturopathy ~ an alternative medicine which emphasizes the body's intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself (also known as naturopathic or natural medicine). Naturopaths use natural remedies such as herbs and foods rather than surgery or synthetic drugs.

Practitioners sometimes recommend that patients seek the advice and care of a medical doctor to complement their naturopathic treatments. See Holistic Health.

Meditation ~ mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind and into a deeper state of awareness. Meditation often involves turning attention to a single point of reference. It is recognized as a component of many religions and has been practiced since antiquity. It is also practiced outside religious traditions. Different meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual and/or psychophysical practices which may emphasize different goals ~ from achievement of a higher state of consciousness, to greater focus, to creativity or self-awareness, or simply to a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind. As a result of this sense of relaxation and peace, meditation ultimately leads people to find peace within themselves. See blessthebody.com Grace and Peace and Joy.

return to peace shirts

This is the most aggressive image in the (PEACE) WORDS series. It is demanding. When the t-shirt with the "O" as a red peace symbol was designed, I envisioned militant dykes marching on Washington. (The next version of NOW was in much softer, "lipstick" colors!) We should all be so militant and demanding for peace.

As graffiti, this image intimidates people ~ they smile and put up barriers. While wearing a NOW t-shirt, people won’t look me in the eye. It touches their conscience the same way WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TODAY TO SAVE THE WORLD? does (an image with the same aggressive directness from the Universal Peace series). Possibly, repetition of the NOW image is the magic chord needed to topple the walls we all inherently build.

Without a frame, the word "NOW" with the peace symbol may have been in existence before my design. I always equate it with the National Organization of Women though, like HOPE for Barack Obama, thus far, my version has failed to be endorsed. Maybe I should have added an exclamation point. And stomped my foot!
