I enjoyed the message and truly agree with it except the false so called climate change movement created by the positions.
They never mention that carbon dioxide feeds plants and that the largest threat is an ice age! The book that helped me understand lots is acapolyps never, not the so called gurus, Thanks : ) ! !
Great job once again!
Nice to see you again. If you ever release a book version of this topic, let me know where I can get it.
Class video as per usual ππ» able to eloquently say what I can't very clearly, keep up the great work! Good vibes only π
Interesting analysis and conversation! Great video.
Very relevant thank you. π Its gotten so weird that in the past few years I have even begun to wonder if many of the leading so called spiritual "influencers" are truly paid distractors , as in politics, sports and the entertainment industry. The successful ones are definitely unashamedly individualist, consumer and capitalist.
8:41 – "…[H]eal people with their penises…" WTF?! Um, penis-healer bros, I don't think "magic wand" means what you think it means!
18:12 – "…Downward Facing Dog on a mountaintop is not a radical political position…" HAHAHAHAHA!
Amazing video! This brand of Capitalist co-opted "spirituality" goes back at least to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and the New Thought movement, which converted spirituality into a set of invisible bootstraps we're supposed to pull ourselves up by while upholding Capitalism. And of course, buy crystals, incense, expensive "retreats" and "programs," and whatever other consumerist baubles Capitalists can come up with. Maybe you're the spiritual influencer the Revolution needs! π
Do they actually know that the body what they are so obsessed about, and the wealth they are manifesting are so temporal, and will be wasted in the end? So basically there is no yoga posture what will be enough…
Sorry but it is nowhere near spirituality what they are trying to sell us. In the crucial moment this facade will collapse…
YES πYesβ¨Yessπ
This is exactly why I too have unplugged! Thank you for speaking the truth! So on point! #itsbecomeanotherracket!π» At the expense of making a generational impact.β¨ #spiritualnarcissismβ¨
Thank you, we are so privileged to hear your perspective
Check out Marvin Gaye's 1971 album "What's Going On".
There can be no spiritual growth without empathy, and no empathy without social consciousness.
You are spot on here, Kathrin, this is an issue that very much needs to be addressed.
