Her Prophet Is A Cynical Fuck
~My First High Priestess just sent me an e-mail with a link to a new guru type fella. I perused it and replied, “Eh. It tracks like every other New Age 'Positive Thinking' 'Change The World' dealio I've seen over the past forty plus years.” Then I thanked her for sending it because, well, you never know.
The thing that most annoys about all of these New Age types like this new guru fella is their inevitable vagueness. There is always the 'Positive Thinking' and 'Change The World' and 'Universal Enlightenment' and 'Profound Shift' and 'Attracting Your Highest Good' so on and so forth, but exactly how said change/shift is going to be implemented is never really mentioned, not beyond exhortations to 'look within' and 'embrace your joy' and 'think positively' and 'feel your power' and 'share your love' etc. Oh and 'share your money' too BTW.
As someone who has participated in Con Games from both sides, I can tell you for a fact that those are all the hallmarks of a Con. Now, maybe the guru in question actually believes the Con, which is usually the most effective way of Selling The Con, but that's just Method Acting.
It's always Love and Light and Good Feelings and anything 'negative' or 'unpleasant' is swept under the rug PDQ. That especially applies to any serious questions about the details of how The Great Change is actually going to happen. That kind of behavior will get you Excluded From The Group.
This of course is a primary reason why The Explanation is such a hard sell. It has very little in the way of 'good feelings' but a shitload of Hard Truths. It also has a very specific set of goals and a very specific set of plans for achieving them. It is almost impossible to bullshit one's self about what you're getting into. It's Eyes Wide Open or No Thank You. No middle ground. *sigh*
And there's no Instant Gratification. Building a New Matriarchy is clearly shown to be Hard Work over a period of generations. It's not going to 'improve your relationships' or 'make you better at your job' or any of the other Marketing bullshit most gurus and 'life style trainings' hustle.
Sure, you could certainly feel better about yourself, but that's only because you'd have True Purpose and be doing something that Actually Fucking Matters for more that five fucking minutes. [see "It is no measure of good health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society."]
While a number of woman have tested the waters, so far, only one Sister has showed up and stayed...in fifteen years. So, yes, Her Prophet is also a Bitter Fucker...
...and there you have it.
