Nyandlighet på villovägar?
Stephen Dinan (fram till nu okänd för mig) om hur han desillusionerats de senaste 1 1/2 åren. En helt briljant text, en fullpackad analys av tillståndet i delar av nyandligheten. En lång men i högsta grad läsvärd granskning.
“At the deepest level, we are each participating in an upgrade to the human cultural operating system to a worldview that is holistic, sacred, inclusive, global, and expresses in a more peaceful and sustainable lifestyle.
But this collective crisis has revealed serious design flaws that are corrupting that code and need to be addressed with patches or fixes in some fashion so that the new worldview actually is a sustainable and healthy upgrade.”
“Anatomy of Delusion: How Otherwise Conscious People Descended into the Darkness”
Som man kan jag inte låta bli att dröja lite extra vid avsnittet om fenomenet “Flow Boy”. Dinan skriver, inte utan självkritik:
“The Flow Boy is often exceptionally good at dancing, romancing, and wandering the world. They often do so well into their fifties. They eschew commitments, often champion polyamory and economically don’t tend to build much of enduring value.
They pride themselves on how conscious they are but when it comes to employment, family, or institutional or civic responsibilities, they are basically evasive. Their freedom is defined by their ability to follow the impulse of the moment. The dance and festival scene is filled with folks like this and there’s a great lament among spiritual women that there simply aren’t enough solid, reliable men to go around.”
