sometimes i feel like my primary goal in life these days is to go through a serious new-age detox. for the last few years, my inner cynic has been having allergic reactions to any number of symptoms of excessive new-ageism. having spent a good solid ten years+ in the new age / mystical / hippie laboratory, its been really interesting for me to watch and observe what comes up in my mind in response to any number of excessively hippie new-age stuff.... some of it seriously moves me. like music. music has the capacity to be a pure expression of spirit, and can take me to an unbridled state of catharsis & ecstasy without any substances required... i love that. thats why music is my #1 drug of choice... i think my problem with a lot of new-agey stuff is that its become way overdone and takes itself WAY too seriously. a lot of new age messiahs end up spouting messages that become pedantic and nauseatingly cliche. for reasons such as these, I cannot utter the word Namaste, and have a seriously hard time taking anybody seriously when they start talking about chakras and energy. i think the problem is that i stopped using marijuana as a central, defining aspect of my daily life... that ganja stuff, man.... stoners are very trippy!! (I know, because I was a super stoner for years....)
