Pert's Words
« on: July 24, 2011, 02:56:32 PM »
In another topic I gave my own definition of a (non-Freudian) Ego as "any compartmentalized, self-referential awareness."

Well today I have a treat for everyone as the US "suffers in writhing agony (boo hoo)" over this many times precedented heat wave (this line will bring back fond memories in the winter).  Anyway, today I am going to give my definition for the term New Age.  Are you ready?  Are you?  Then paddle on!

New Age - (n.) any practice which is created in order to dupe or manipulate others using pseudo-scientific methods and vague, unsubstantiated claims, most often with the objective of receiving material compensation for the efforts of the New Age practitioner.
Some examples of New Age practices are tarot readings, yoga classes, crystal healings, chiropractics, chakra manipulation, chi, feng shui, astrology, psychic mediums, reiki, etc..

Taking a cue from sakoz, instead of editing my pre-existing post, I'm just going to make another post right after my previous post.  Post post post.  I think my Egg McMuffin (copyright, trademark) was laced with cannabis.  Christ...

New Age practitioner - (n.) any person who utilizes New Age methods for personal gain, out of ignorance, or similarly otherwise.

I feel that I'm somewhat lacking on S words, so...

Spirituality - (n.) any practice or field of learning whose aim is to attain to the consciousness of the continuity of existence.
