It’s a shame he wastes his time on no such thing.
Say again?
Oh, that’s interesting!
We are humans having a human experience. Fuck transcendental modes of philosophical and religious thought that hate bodies, see the material world as a curse or a pit stop, and consequently lend themselves to turning inward rather than turning to face the very material problems in this world harming countless people.
Tell me how “soul bloom” is going to fix climate change and definitely isn’t just a way to sell books that make people feel good about not actually doing anything to improve the world.
Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Damn. Thank you for so eloquently expressing what I’ve been unable to my entire life.
Recognizing we are all souls connected and dependent on one another. So we get off our behinds and act to improve the world for everybody.
That’s how you turn bullshit navel gazing spirituality into something useful.
It’d be cool if more people had their fundamental needs taken care of so that they could spend (more) energy on stuff like that.
Soul Boom revolution? I was expecting James Brown.
… and also Harry Mudd
