Sometimes, you gotta love California, just for the Cali-wonderfulness of the place. Especially Northern Cali. It’s not a coincidence that a whole bunch of your good, nutty cults come from this state and these parts. Who wouldn’t want to drink the KoolAid?
You can’t swing a cat, a cat risen from the spirit of Nephritides or some such bullshit mythology, you can’t swing a feline without hitting some kind of crystal-rubbing, yoga-mat, Feng Shui, incense-smoke-swilling bookstore of hope. Everybody’s looking for something.
We wondered into one of my faves in Mountain View last night. A town pretty much famous now for a being the home of the Googleplex. It’s all kinds of mishmash of Buddhist-y, Hindu-y, Ram Dass-y, New-Age-y, goddess-y, occulty,Taoist-y, Chinese-y, East meets west fun. There ain’t nothing spiritual or pseudo-spiritual that store won’t hawk.
What I didn’t realize is there is a whole back room to the place. There are toilets and “therapy rooms” for some kind of “counseling” and a big old room with folding shares and some kind of stage.
Last night, sitting on the stage was a rather grumpy looking, middle-aged British (I think) man. He was giving a little talk on his own plan for enlightenment.
From what we could gather listening into the guru, crankiness is the key.
More later…

DVAE!!! My man, you’re back. Where you been? Maybe fucking up some kind of wiring somewhere or deciding if something was a glory hole or an outlet?
Missed you, you old — insert British slang term here.
I’d almost agree on your religious model if it didn’t peter out into incoherence with the Tom Cruise reference.
I’ll write more about the guy we saw and his hold shtick soon. But, meanwhile I’m working on my own bullshit belief system.

I don’t know, I don’t think I was thinking “cunt.” I think there has to be a more special word for you, dvae.
You’d love it here, by the way. There’re often local Scientology centers with tables set up for personality tests. Love to see them figure out how L. Ron Hubbard could help you.
