If you are interested in the full commune experience you can come live in my home and pay my mortgage for me. I will cook whole grains and vegan foods in exchange. Namaste.

Sorry, cooking is my charge. I cannot help with this "mortgage" because I don't believe in money.

lol cool art but not exactly science, bro: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masaru_Emoto

*my ex-gf was a yoga instructor and kind of sucked up a lot of fringe new-age stuff as a result-- dr. emoto's water crystals is the one that i remember the most

It took me almost all day to get through this thread. I think I am about 100 NLP videos away from being one of these people.

Namaste!

i have friends that have been insisting since 2005 or so that they can "break clouds with their minds"

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 9 February 2012 07:50 (twelve years ago) link

you just have to get in touch with your inner cloud

Hey now! There's definitely overlap between "people who teach yoga" and "people who suck up fringe new age stuff" but correlation /= causation.

oh, i'm mostly just super-grumpy about the "What the #$*!" crowd and wish they would all go do Nia or Trance Dance or something and leave yoga alone aleready :D

Mordy you're stepping on my "organized religion is a cult"

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 9 February 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link

so just nfl players

Mordy you're stepping on my "organized religion is a cult"

― valleys of your mind (mh)

Well that's completely wrong so people should step all over it.

Frobisher (Viceroy), Thursday, 9 February 2012 20:35 (twelve years ago) link

Big organized religions = "Ecclesiastical cults" officially in all of social science. So I guess maybe you're both right.

But 'cult' doesn't really mean anything like the popular definition in religious studies.

Frobisher (Viceroy), Thursday, 9 February 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

I think it's pretty obvious that cult on ilx just means, "shit that is weird."

Mordy, Thursday, 9 February 2012 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

sorry: "shit that is weird that involves groups of people"

Mordy, Thursday, 9 February 2012 20:52 (twelve years ago) link

trying to be technical + specific here

Mordy, Thursday, 9 February 2012 20:52 (twelve years ago) link

well yeah, I was being comically biased against all organized religion, whether it's millions or just five people and a guru. sorry, not religion, self-realization corporate strategy in the latter case, here

homosexual II, Thursday, 9 February 2012 21:12 (twelve years ago) link

This positivity stuff needs to be a bit edgier, but that would require a level of darkness and cynicism. I am trying to think of how to make this gothier.

homosexual II, Thursday, 9 February 2012 21:12 (twelve years ago) link

p sure the goth side of this is wiccan/pagan ppl
