WARNING: This atheist's diner and beer(s) have been interrupted by so called New Age, mystical, woo. You have been warned.

Dear nonexistent Gawd. I want a 1/2 white hippie baby, to live in a yurt with my awesome lady and...err, nothing else. Thank you.

Earlier I talked a little about New Age spirituality, ya know, the stupid headedness of it, the harm to your pocket book and the delusion (just to name a few thingies).  Remind me to not read the LA Times when I'm eating diner because this is soooooo So-Cal, New Age, hippie shit: rich white people doing shit (up here in Nor Cal we/I see them as the clean and rich hippies. They roll up to the festival in luxury cars, have many outfits for the weekend (I don't change all weekend), generators, food, they are seen waiting in the ATM line, did I say that they look clean, and they have hella money for alcohol and drugs...and their girls are always really cute. Anyhoo....). Here's what's the harm.

Remember last year when a dude died at a pseudo sweat lodge ran by a charlatan that charged 1,000's for a weekend retreat to, I guess, cleanz yourself, become one with the universe and, generally, help yourself become better. The thing about these things is that there are no (or little) regulations and the safety factor is like zero plus zero (that's my way of saying very little). I'm down for the sweat lodge stuffs. My revolution homie always invites me to his shin-digs and I trust him...ya know, because he is an actual Native American. When the trouble starts, is when whitey gets involved.

Yurt is a comfortable and portable dwelling used by nomadic peeps.

Like I talked about earlier, much of the New Age spirituality is watered down Eastern philosophy and/or cool tidbits from awesome brown cultures. Buddhism, Hinduism-with there awesome pretty lady with hella arms and that elephant, yoga, meditation etc....and just because that particular culture has been doing it for centuries, does not necessarily mean that a whitey with relatively small amount of training and experience can pull it off (or is sincere).

The headline reads Mysterious Buddhist Retreat In the Desert Ends in a Grisly Death. Here's the nutshell: a couple goes up there for a three year endeavor that is all about keeping silent (communicating with writing, only) for three years, three months and three days, meditating (gee, I mean what else can one do), led by a charismatic (always with the charisma, right) Princeton educated monk (I don't know if that means he got monked at Princeton, or he went to Princeton) that....guess, is accused of running a cult, the couple gets banished from the group but try's to keep on keeping on in the mountains because they were not ready to go back to civilization, dude dies because they were not eating right and keepin hydrated and somehow...some fuckin' how, the *allegedly* celibate leader is involved (I admit I'm murky on the facts. So sue me. Aaaaaa))

The leader has been accused of grubbing for teh monziez's, being super weird, "touching genitals", drawing blood and, there is always an "and", handling a samurai sword (WTF, does that even matter). Oh shit...did I mention that the Guru dude, Michael Roach, ran a diamond business worth millions and millions of dough-lair-ohhhh's. Subsequently, his retreat is called Diamond Mountain University.

This dude has shit to say and in general some of the practitioners have been vocal about the goings on at the retreat, ya know like stabbings-n-shit. Just the usual stuffs. And from the authorities like law enforcement...crickets. But you really can't blame them. After all, this shit is in a remote place and the peeps pay a lot of money and volunteer to go there. So WTF.

Well the usual reasons of course. The dude became popular, made a lot of money, became a celebrity of sorts (in the New Age hippie circles) and then became corrupted. Isn't that how it always goes (yes).

Page two of this article has a lot of meat and bones of this, but ya know what....kind gentle and very good looking readers, members of Team Atheist and Team Skeptic, #teambro, the bro-nee-tas, the #cutegirlrestaurant and  (I neve mention it lately, but...) the #atheistcafe...I can't separate the shit from shine-ola.

not the best ending for a blog post, but I'll own it. Aaaaaaaaa...............

* Focus much, Kriss. "No."

Both dudes lived with this hottie...but they wer celebate. No wonder someone got killed, err, "allegedly"

* Yes I'm drinking beer and i did smoke some of the weeds (wish I had more).

* There was a point to all of this, but I lost it at the end. I dunno what are my usual conclusions "therefore that is stupidhead" or the classic "and that is why the probability that a specific God, not a deist God, has a very low probability of occurring."

* In case you want journalism and facts-n-shit....article.

* OK, i think it's a love triangle, pseudo Eastern philosophy wrapped up in New Age spirituality (what else can it be), straight up lieing and the monziez's. always about the money, right (and fo sho I could be wrong. Fo sho I'm the runk and stone-ed.)

* Diamond Institute 

* When I write well I always brag about it...this is not the case right now, but ya know what. Not chicken butt this time, it's publish it and chalk it up to experience. Fuck everyone, fuck the world and you know what...fuck me. I'm nothing special.

* Deff....no editing 2nite.
