crazy new age people annoy me.

I love fucking with "crystal" people. Since I am a geologist I start blurting out scientific definitions of the crystalline structure, chemical make-up, etc... They usually get frustrated and walk away because I can't feel the energy coming off their crystals.LOL

Oh and what's wrong with being 32 and single?

She tells me she can cure bad vibes and other shit.

I'd tell that bitch if she'd gave me a reach around it would cure all my bad vibes.

Maybe the loons are the ones who have it right. Maybe if you're blissfully ignorant about the world around you, you can sleep easier at night. It would help explain my insomnia.

Well, you see that was sort of the point I had in my earlier post. If it makes people happy and works for them who are any of you to criticize? Just because what someone does is different or strange to you, if they find it fill some niche in their life, so what? People on this board have their electronic gadgets, or shopping or working out or getting high in one form or another or obsessions with sex or porn and those are acceptable. If someone likes fondling crystals or chanting or designing their house according to the principals of feng shui and they "feel" energies and they find it makes their life easier, they can smile easier, sleep better at night, or whatever, why is it okay to criticize that while another person who is using steroids, dropping major coin on a home theater system or whatever is acceptable? I particularly find the mockery sad from people who are supposed to be in industries that concern themselves with people's mental and physical health well being.

When people are happy, their stress levels go down, levels of hormones that cause inflammation go down, blood pressure reduces and heart rate slows. IMO, if playing with crystals brings someone stress levels down, it does, technically, in some small part, improve their health.

I had to take my daughter into an interview at 5:00 am and we needed to go to Kinko's to pick-up her science fair project at 3:00am. On talk radio, this complete pair of stoner new-age wierdo's were being interviewed.

They are setting up 11 transcendental meditation centers all over the world. These people will begin meditating between now and 2012 to transform us from a technology-based to a spiritually-based society. Apparently once their meditation efforts are amplified by the planets lining-up, we will all begin focusing on each other's spiritual and energy needs instead of pursuing material goods.

Oh, and they said the reason they knew all this was coming is because the number "11" is appearing too often now. This number is some sort of signal that the psychic energies of the universe are aligning.

Stop defending Christians like that.

LOL@this thread. Living in the bible belt I don't come across too many new age wierdos. I do, however, run into my fair share of thumpers. The new agers may be fruity but the thumpers IMHO are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse.

Or maybe not... all about perception.

I guess when anyone presses their beliefs (however radical or socially accepted) they may be, those of us who do not share these beliefs feel put off once they get past the point of entertaining us.

Ah, I was fully expecting a comment to that effect.

My problem is not, and has never been with Christians (or any religion, per se). My problem is with people who tell me that because I follow a non Christian religion I am, unequivocally, WRONG, ergo, condemned to hell, and then when they go into great detail enumerating the "Biblical facts" to justify their condemnation. My problem is with the people out there who claim to know the mind of God, and how God judges me, my beliefs, etc.

Let's face it, you're guilty of the same thing, only in reverse. Because those people want to promote something you don't understand (transcendental meditation) in your mind they automatically are stoner weirdos (granted, their beliefs are weird to you, but do you know they smoke dope?) I just don't see what's wrong with hoping for a kinder, gentler society, and if they want to help people learn how to meditate, it's not like that's going to hurt anyone. Meditation in no way is a threat to any organized religion and has been proven to have beneficial effects on health and stress levels.

Actually I've always felt any person who is serious about their faith should meditate as well as pray because it's said that while prayer is speaking to God, meditation is listening to hear God speak to you.
