It's weird how NewAgers are always saying, if I would just do as they tell me, I would be able to get rid of my ego and be a nicer person (like I'd want that) but those same NewAgers don't blink an eye when the daytime TV Queen of NewAge, Oprah Winfrey, reportedly has a problem controlling her
"ego and hubris".
The great holy men of India are supposed to have conquered this problem as well, but there's just
one little problem:
"'They are very egoistic,' said Anand Bardhan, the administrator overseeing the Kumbh. 'One moment they suddenly become angry and the next moment they will shower lots of affection. You need to understand their nature.'"
Oh,
I understand their nature, alright. It's called hypocrisy. As
Shinie Antony says about
Indian Essentials, the new collection of essays on Indianness, or the Eastern way of seeing things:
"Three potentially addictive pieces are Samrat’s Hum Log, the Sex Log, Srividya Natarajan’s Gold’s Fools and Jerry Pinto’s Talking Bollywood. The first delves deep and dirty into our moral hypocrisies, the second lays bare the gilt in our bling and the third, of course, talks drolly of Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna. These take the content and form debate firmly into the latter’s lair. When the substance is new age and subversive patriotism, style has to play imp."
It most certainly does. Face it: most NewAgers have to
make up their own belief system because - being to cowardly to ditch the whole "spirituality" charade - that's the only way they can have a religion that'll accommodate
their bullshit: 
"It is telling that Kitty Kelley's new biography of Oprah Winfrey accuses the star of making up childhood sex-abuse stories to enhance her career -- something that would have been unimaginable in any other culture but our own and in any other age but this one."
And what age, exactly, is that again?

To my mind one and all must go through this.
