Jesus, I am so pissed at the Evil Blogger Lady for getting me into this shit:
There's a whole gang of hilarious yoga/India/Hindu/NewAge videos I haven't seen before, and now I'm fucking hooked!
I don't need this right now, EBL!!!
When you know an "astrologer" told The Washington Post's Sally Quinn about yoga, and she talked it over with The New York Times' Maureen Dowd, who then recommended Quinn to television news's David Gregory's (and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's) "teacher" - when this is the state of our nation's "leadership" - how does anyone expect anything to work in this country?
And you somehow think - instead of keeping the insanity going - a Mormon's going to fix this problem?
Folks, we've got A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MONEY, and these videos are getting at the crux of it - because not only is this the crap our "movers and shakers" are indulging in, but a prime example of the very reason Americans are blowing so much money!!! If they can't even nonsense when they see it, or understand their motivations for throwing money down this "spiritual" black hole - even under the bogus disguise of "exercise" - then how is a Joseph Smith-following, Jesus-is-coming-back-to-Missouri-loving, Pat Robertson-looking, believer in cold fusion going to help us?
And the worst part is, some of you actually think there's a difference between Mormonism and this! Earth to America! Earth to America - listen up:
It's ALL madness!
This is the fucking day!
Since EBL has been sharing, I guess I'd better step it up:

WElcome to my world. Or rather what has freaking invaded my world (or at least the one area of life that I used to be able to retreat from the insantiy of the rest of my worldl). The sad thing is, unless I get completely out of it, there is no way to retreat from this: the results of this sort of thing are practically on my doorstep daily, and I (or somebody else) has to try and fix it (sometimes it never gets fixed).
I've had firsthand knowledge of gurus for a a very long time -- but if I could pinpoint when it started to get out of control I'd have to say: 1990...that's when it really started to show up on my doorstep. It's gotten worse every year since.

*and I find the expression on the horses' to be priceless -- somebody's telling the truth here, but it sure isn't the people!

ReplyDeleteThis is a choice one too.
I was probably very stupid for not jumping on the bandwagon, calling myself something more accredited and collegiate sounding than a horseman/rider, like an equine specialist, and fleecing people for a mint.

Oh, PW - as soon as I saw the words "Horse Yoga" I laughed so hard I spilled the glass of water I was drinking!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I needed that!
Glad it gave you a giggle, and welcome to my hell on earth (trust me, this is just the latest thing to take off...and already I've had to deal not only with the usual guru horse training trainwrecks, but now this...sometimes the horses decide they have had enough you see...).
