I realised what was wrong with new agers seeing that YOGA is not really a NEW AGE practice but an ancient practice.................................
So, as the Yoga teacher started with her hypnosis....I realised that the reason why NEW AGERS think that being spiritual COMES WITH NO WORK AT ALL is that they want to be constantly DISCONNECTED from reality or their responsibilities.
YOGA DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY - YOGA IS NOT THE PRACTICE OF TOTAL DISCONNECTION BUT THE PRACTICE OF STRENGTHENING YOUR CORE BY DETACHMENT TO SEE YOURSELF OUT OF YOURSELF, AND THEN COMING BACK TO REALITY to APPLY THE STRENGTH GATHERED FROM SEEING YOURSELF OUTSIDE OF THE EGO, TO BETTER ADJUST THE EGO IN TERMS OF THE RESPONSIBILITY YOU HAVE TO YOURSELF AND THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
YOGA is NOT and will never be the TOTAL DISCONNECTION from self-responsibility or the SELF.
NEW AGERS tend to abuse all sorts of spiritual practice, without ever spiritually growing - I have said this so many times it almost feels redundant to repeat same on my own fucking blog.
I was thinking to myself stepping again into the Yoga studio a year after I left there - "here they go again with the NEW AGE MOTHERFUCKING BULLSHIT, WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HERE?" Quietly laughing at myself for being so stupid actually trying to buy into this crap for the new age hype it is.............
But was I surprised when the ANCIENT PURPOSE OF YOGA gave my EGO a smack and my SPIRIT a lift.
How fucking true is the abovementioned image..log out of the NEW AGE hype and embrace the ANCIENT shit that knows its shit. |
