One for Ashton and Rand

Such spiritual-but-not-religious not-really-New-Age notions and nostrums had been packaged, marketed and widely exported, such that -- thanks to middleware mediums such as Hay House, The Secret, and The Oprah Winfrey Show --- they now constitute many of the unexamined "core values" of middle-class, middle-of-the-road America: a.k.a. the Mystic Bourgeoisie. -- Drew

Sounds as if he means to one-up Mr. G(urdjieff) and his intentionally obscure, All and Everything, 1000+ pp written in a matter of several days, on sustenance(!) of nothing but Armagnac.

Leave it to me to take up one of the few professions where a reasonably operational BS detector is a liability. And where men face heavy discrimination. I'm skipping a business class this morning of the link. I just couldn't face the BS. Oh, yea, and then this: "(btw, Tarcher was married to Shari Lewis, so it's possible that the ontological devolution we've been exploring here, lo these many years now, was a plot hatched by Lambchop." (http://mysticbourgeo...4_01_archive.html) When I was little, Lambchop scared the hell out of me. I'm talking really little, but also actual screaming running and hiding terror. Have an aunt not much older than me with a hand puppet, and she didn't help. Since then, she's become a very dear relative (I think the turnaround was when she taught me how to open a screen door with my foot while riding a bike) but at the time... So maybe I was right, maybe Lambchop was EEEVUL!
