“The waitress gave Dale the stink eye while collecting his discarded food and drink. While she performed the removal, Dale read the text on her shirt. I’VE MASTERED MY SHIT, SO IF WE’RE ARGUING DURING MERCURY RETROGRADE, YOU’RE THE ONE BEING A BITCH, NOT ME. I’M ENLIGHTENED, ASSHOLE.”
Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success

Kevin R.D. Shepherd
“There are currently very few writers in either East or West who demonstrate much understanding of mystical ranges, and hence the values here are largely in abeyance. The typical 'Western Mysticism,' of the modern variety, is an excuse for narcissism and banality. Its vaunted therapy is sometimes classified, appropriately enough, as Neo-Reichian. It is arguably suitable fare for an increasingly illiterate audience who are narrowing down their alternatives to one only: ignorance of real values.”
Kevin R.D. Shepherd, Meaning in Anthropos

“Many people who want a worthwhile alternative to current societal attitudes will have to become much more literate in order to be able to gain a critical sense that distinguishes viable values from crippling ones. Few people read Plotinus and other temperate writers of the past, and so it is little wonder that philosophy is not understood, and that mysticism has become a con game. Most professed seekers of 'values' fall victim to the sentiments of 'New Age' psychotherapy and Western Occultism. With Aleister Crowley an advanced yogi and Wilhelm Reich a visionary genius, it is anybody's guess what further Western monstrosities will be created in illiterate climates.”

“Anthropography is my contribution to the vacuum created in education by specialist academe and the 'New Age' commercial machine.”

“The Age of Aquarius is the new age of the spirit. We are consciously recognizing our Soul Mates and Twin Flames -souls we are connected to across time, space, and beyond.”
Serena Jade

“Despite evolution's scientific mantle or the latest court decision, the theory is proving increasingly faulty with each passing decade. In light of the New Agers' preoccupation with personal experience, evolution may be the only belief that New Agers take on faith, because it has never been observed to occur, and the scientific evidence needed to support it does not exist.”
Randy England, Unicorn in the Sanctuary : The Impact of the New Age

“New Age religious subjectivism is basically an attempt to take refuge in the subjective psyche against the terror of the world, against materialism and scientism, understanding the psyche as in some sense transcendent of material conditions, but ignoring the fact that if the psyche is not grounded in Spirit, in something higher than itself, it becomes a mere appendage of material conditions, as Karl Marx so clearly demonstrated. A subjective transcendence is a fragmented transcendence, and a fragmented transcendence cannot be truly transcendent.”
Charles Upton, The System of Antichrist: Truth & Falsehood in Postmodernism & the New Age

Abhijit Naskar
“All the problems of organized religion and newage spirituality could be solved with one little change in mindset - never declare as fact what works as metaphor, metaphor is mightier than magic.”

“Curse of Spirituality (Sonnet 2537)

Why is it that 90% of modern spiritual
population are just newage nutters,
what's the point in surpassing religious
fundamentalism, if you end up being
sucked into superstitions with glitter!

Why can't you be spiritual
without being superstitious,
why can't you be religious
without being a fundamentalist -

the day you could, that's the beginning
of civilized spirituality and human religion.

I'm not asking for cold, cantankerous logic
all the time, all I'm saying is, why does
spirituality have to depend on superstition -

if your spirituality crumbles without superstition,
you were never spiritual, just underdeveloped.

There is no spirituality except kindness,
there is no religion but service.”
