A Critical Review from a Traditionalist
How long will we feed ourselves fairy tales for retards? How long will we dance to the tune of gurus skilled in fooling naive followers, promising to turn water into wine by the power of thought, and become rich through visualization? Stop multiplying an army of infantile consumers convinced that the universe owes them something! The subject is the universal epidemic of “Thoughts Are Material” – the rotten core of New Age pop-trash, parasitizing on fragments and by-products of ancient knowledge, and that maniacal striving for a free wealth.
These “enlightened” adepts from “The Secret,” who consider themselves conduits of higher powers (and, conveniently, successful sellers of air), offer people not a path to self-improvement, but a cheap trick: squeeze your eyes shut, repeat the mantra “I am worthy,” and voilà – a villa in the Bahamas, a private jet, and a harem of young virgins. It’s just curious that these very gurus, so actively selling the success formula, don’t live in harems themselves, but in modest apartments, begging for donations from their brainwashed followers for their teaching – a food for fools. The irony, isn’t it?
Let’s rip the mask off this shit, expose this cynical fraud hiding behind noble slogans of “positive thinking.” True esoteric teachings are not a set of incantations to summon a wish-granting genie. They are the hard work of the spirit, requiring discipline, asceticism, self-denial, and the comprehension of the universe’s profound laws. And those mindless affirmations about positive thinking are merely a pathetic parody, the bad smell from the corpse of original knowledge. It is a desecration of sacred things, worthy of contempt.
The Cult of Infantilism and Egoism: “Wish it – get it,” “focus on yourself,” “you deserve the very best” – what a vile cocktail of egocentrism and consumerism! New Age places at its core not spiritual growth, not the cultivation of virtues, not service to higher ideals, but an overgrown EGO, demanding constant gratification of its base lusts. These domestic degenerates, incapable of even earning their own living, become parasites, sucking the life resources from their followers while giving nothing in return.
The Denial of Reality and the Law of Retribution:
Life is not Disneyland, where all wishes are granted by the wave of a magic wand. Our fate is determined not by our thoughts alone, but by the consequences of our actions and by predestination from above. To ignore these factors is to doom oneself to cruel disappointment and personal catastrophe. The ignorance of the New Age is boundless – their faith in this lie knows no end.
“Manifesting desires” is not a spiritual path; it is a disguised form of consumerist madness. Instead of seeking life’s meaning in spiritual development, they reduce everything to the banal accumulation of material goods. They worship the very mammon (the golden calf), reeking of New Age mantra stench. This greed is disgusting.
All “positive thinking” gurus are not enlightened teachers, but brazen swindlers profiting from the ignorance of the masses. They use psychological tricks and pseudoscientific theories to sell their useless courses and books upon people, squeezing out their last pennies. Oh, the obedient sheep, lining up for the shearing by cynical shepherds.
True values are: labor, self-discipline, uncompromising work on oneself and one’s ego. The only way to truly change one’s life is to take responsibility for oneself and stop blaming the Universe for everything. Learn to rely on God, learn to ask Him correctly (not to dream and visualize), to ask oneself the fundamental question: why do I live at all? Am I missing my one and only chance, and how should I prepare for death so as not to regret a life wasted?
No, if you are so weak that you cannot manage yourself yet want a yacht – go work, study, act!
Or, for heaven’s sake, sit in meditation on Mount Athos – at least you will achieve something, even if it’s not a yacht. Enough already with breeding useless infantilism!
