I'm still trying to come up with a good enough response to that hokum about Tibet as an occult place.

Maybe I'll post this, from the same J. Huger who came up with "Kissing Hank's Ass:"

Welcome and peace be with you beloved children of the west wind.
Welcome sons and daughters of Jehovah, followers of Moses and Jesus, keepers of the covenant.
Welcome gentle children of the west wind.

Welcome and peace be with you beloved children of the north wind.
Welcome sons and daughters of earth, followers of shamans, seekers of moon and sun.
Welcome gentle children of the north wind.

Welcome and peace be with you beloved children of the east wind.
Welcome sons and daughters of the Tao, followers of Confucius and Buddha, casters of the I-Ching.
Welcome gentle children of the east wind.

Welcome and peace be with you beloved children of the south wind.
Welcome sons and daughters of the pyramids, followers of old ways made new, catchers of dreams.
Welcome gentle children of the south wind.

Welcome and peace be with you beloved children of the other winds.
Welcome whoever's son or daughter you may be, no less the pilgrim for traveling your own path.
Welcome gentle children of the other winds.

Welcome and peace to all the children of all of the winds,
Great and small, beloved one and all.
Welcome brothers and sisters. Let the winds blow you to the truth.
Then, gentle children, heads full of air, you can blow me.

1. Holy fucking shit

I mean that in the nicest possible way of course.

How deluded do you have to be to get to this kind of reasoning:

And yes the CIA would be involved with the Dali Lama. USA was the world cavalry at the time and they helped anyone who was opposition to communism. That would be absolutely normal.

or

Who is to say, that tibet has moved from asia in to the hearts of men and women, nurturing them to transcend the empty mediocrity of materialist post-modern dystopia. So all people from tibet are sacred people, and we ourselves are from tibet, all of us, in a great transcendence of nationality to share in neo-buddhist goodwill.

3. Yes, in the immortal words of JFK...

"Ich bin ein Tibetan!"

No, wait a minute, that didn't come out right...

I actually self-deleted a followup in that thread before I could post it.

Part of the post talked about the use of mysticism vs. nuclear weapons.

I suggested that she could keep the mysticism and give me the nuclear weapons, and we'd see who won the war...

2. Did I forget to offend anyone?

5. I should really get into the wellness

business. Make up any bs, talk about how spiritual and crazy it is and sell it to people as a way to improve their life in some crazy way.
