Last night I found this really intersting book at the library. I always seem to enter the library with a bag full of books that are delayed for return keeping me always on the edge of debt and thinking today I shall not borrow any books because I´ll only forget to return them.. only to find myself looking like a hunchback with bags full of books as I leave. Shaking my head but singing in my heart.

Is there anything greater than a library? Sometimes in a different dimension I wish I was a librarian and I could snatch all the new books first and lock myself up in some small room and read and have crisps and just read and wake up in the middle of the night and the police are searching for me and…oh I digress.

Well this book then. It´s called “Encyclopedia of new religions”. 447 illustrated pages on religions that people are engaged in. All in the search for the light that will lead them to inner peace. Or so I assume. There is a big chapter on New Age which I dove right into.
New Age. What a fantastic concept in the realm of spacetime. Timelines. Time.
Old age, new age. Hm. Well anywhooooo. Religion is dear to my heart and also really undear. Religion messes people up in ways we cannot even conceive of. And it can also bring out the best in people. But then that best can also fuck things up.
I just also spotted a book called “Pathological alturism” (Barabara Oakley et al). Fantastic!
Now I know why I am so messed up 😉

Some research suggests that we have an innate skill to be honest and authentic as it takes less effort. We are more prone to being kind. And yet this kindness can be totally mistaken for help. A need to be helpful. Even when it´s really not a great choice. Some people call it curling, esp around kids. When people treat other people in ways that may come from an intention of kindness but really is not, it just makes the other person think they are stupid/less than/incapable and what not it actually leads to depression and even burn out syndrome. Who knew. Well obviously some who wrote this really long book that´s like £50 so I am probably not gonna get it bc I will never read the whole thing either way. But I found this really nice YouTube yesterday that I highly recommend.
Alturism isn´t bad. It´s just that we color everything with our subjective points of views and that is not always the best choice. But hey. We are all humans. Je t´aime.
