Sounds like a valid critique, and no doubt you could write a good essay on the topic! I can think of some essays that might be of interest from a book called "Blue Jean Buddha."

"A Small Step From The Lotus" by Meggan Waterson

"Halted Breath" by Amy Darling

"Caught in Indra's Net" by Hwansoo Kim

"My Mom's A Buddha" by V. Sharif Fennel

(among others!)

As well as a book by Thich Nhat Hanh called "Anger."

Think Shaman Hawk is right on this, sadly: they don't give a fuck.
But that does not take away from the fact it's a wonderful letter.
To Sequoia...again, sadly...that's the increasing distance between the haves and have nots. Wish I had the dough to send you--and to D.Girl--but alas...I too am a have-not.
And I'm trying to take some pride in my humility...ha ha.

Amen!!!!! I've been wanting to articulate this without offending for so long, but the hell with it! It needs to be said!!!

Nicely done and so true. Have a great New Year.

I think your words will fall on deaf ears. To write of your suggestions would eclipse the airy fairy white lighter "it's all good" image Shamballa wants to project.

For a someone to write of these people in those lives you suggest, said New Age writer would have to temporarily stop the uber yoga, pull head out of ass and hybrid themselves to the hood(s) and just see wuddup.
Yet that is second to not only acknowledging that the shit these people are going through is a product line of a sick society and not their "challenges" so they can learn their "lessons".

Besides, would you want to see it written by people like them? I doubt they would tell it like it is. How could they?

Still looking for a word for the previous post? How about "apasociocide". Not giving a fuck that you destroy or kill off anything good in people or society.

I channeled that.

ugh! I know!

When I was in Australia I fucking HATED seeing all of these little bitches of privilege that were getting MONEY from their parents to go backpacking around a foreign country for a year! FUCK! They all acted so fucking enlightened and shit for having the privilege to be able to travel, where as I had saved up from STRIPPING for my plane ticket and I was over there to do more PORN!! Haha, I didn't see shit.

What sucks is that, I'm trying to do this trail this year, because if I don't I might just explode. But I honestly can't afford this and now I find myself thinking of ways I can fucking sell my panties and do webcam shows along the way.

Where the fuck is my privileged journey? When the fuck do I get some time off from this shit?

This is a great letter. This is why I stopped reading these sorts of magazines years ago. Until they come to terms with the broader range of human experience, they just come off as some bastion of privilege, with a hint of presdestination.
