cowgrrl and i saw Deepak Chopra on Stephen Colbert last night. I've not read anything by him, but damn, he sounds like a total hack.

I don't know which is more poisonous: belief in the literal truth of an inerrant scripture, or this new age belief that "reality is illusion." Well, i'll stick with fundamentalism for now because it isn't new agists going out of their way to make my life more difficult. But i've seen no small amount of talk in new age and pagan circles about how any difficulty, adversity, or illness -- including that intentionally inflicted by other people -- is our fault for not 'imagining' a more positive reality. This rot has the potential to cause great harm.
