A lot of people see a piece of NewAge's puzzle, but don't know enough about the whole "spiritual" enterprise to talk about it, so they stay to their piece. Like, Sharyl Attkisson's take on slanted journalism was spot-on, until she blamed mere "corporate" influence for it, because she didn't know to say corporations had fully adopted NewAge philosophy by 2001, and with that practice came a pretty twisted outlook, followed by some pretty twisted results. In 2007, David Brooks of The New York Times observed:
"There's been a revolution in morals. Deficits, obfuscations and trickeries that were once unthinkable are now the norm."
And, since then, that "norm" has already traveled far from that already-nightmarish position - because hardly anyone's noticed what's happened to our society in those 14 years. And what has happened? More heads of corporations started to believe, and indoctrinate their employees to believe,...
"There is no ultimate distinction between God and creation, or between one individual and another. The distinctions we see are unreal or illusionary. This means (among other things) that God and man are the same,...if man is God, then man has unlimited potential, able to accomplish anything he desires,...further, if "all is one," then there are not only no distinctions between God and man, there are also no distinctions between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, good and evil. In fact, all distinctions are mere illusion,...thus, the problem of humanity,...is that we have forgotten our own divinity. This lapse of memory must be overcome by undergoing what is called a 'paradigm shift,' a drastic change in the way we view the world around us."
Believing this nonsense, with nothing but other believers around - or people who are A) incapable of recognizing bullshit on impact, or B) too cowardly, or a suck-up (or too hungry for the top spot themselves) to say "stop" - is how Steve Jobs committed suicide in 2011. Our entire nation is following in his footsteps.
If we aren't, then why wasn't there an uproar when Oprah Winfrey campaigned with Barack Obama, like there was when Seth McFarland thought she might run alone? She's just MORE fraudulent today, than she was then, so why didn't anyone react negatively to the First Black President campaigning with a con artist? Because, by 2008, Oprah had helped make sure the American public no longer cared about right or wrong, or reality itself, than Steve Jobs did.
In 1986, or now, this was NOT the TV viewing of a sane people. A sane people would've tuned it out. But, it was brought to you anyway, by Oprah Winfrey, the NewAge Movement, and those pesky corporations.
They've helped her every step of the way - and that's another topic their journalists (many of whom are NewAgers themselves) have chosen to overlook as they discuss Hillary Clinton's "Russian Collusion" story endlessly.
Hillary, being a major NewAger, of course.
(To be cont'd)
