Yo ho ho and a bottle of … oops.
I promised that I would unveil the backtracks in my spiritual catalogue. Given that today is Samhain (Halloween’s Celtic name, pronounced: sa- ween), and I’ve had a lot of fun making fruitcakes go soggy recently, it’s probably time to put the hard light on some New Age [...]

Oprah is the Anti-Christ (This Year)
Revealed here and now, for all to hear – Oprah Winfrey is (dramatic sting) the anti-Christ.
It says so here: http://unamsanctamcatholicam.blogspot.com/2008/03/oprah-winfrey-is-antichrist.html and here: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Wolves/oprah-exposed.htm (*I broke the links on purpose). I saw it on You Tube, too. Hmm… Must be true.

Girl Culture 1: Celebrity + Marketing = Sweat Patch… Eww … Gross!
Back in the 80s when I was a teenager, the Year 10 Formal (US readers: think High School Prom) was a tiny blip on the radar. If you didn’t go, it didn’t really matter. Your reputation and entire future weren’t made suspect by the events of six hours.
I can’t even remember my Year 10 formal. I [...]

Get Real or Why I’m Glad I Live in Heathen Australia
One of my occasional pastimes involves laughing at the hilarious and downright evil rantings of fundamentalist Christians (no, I’m not giving fundamentalist a capital ‘F’ unless it’s ‘F’ for fuckwit).
I don’t understand these people. The stuff they preach is medieval nonsense. It should be treated with the same contempt as those who channel Supreme Commander [...]

Practice Vs No Practice
One of the main messages I’m getting from the Advaita teachings (hang on, I’ll qualify that: apparently, most of the people I’ve been reading and listening too are considered neo-Advaitans), is that one can spontaneously awaken (obtain enlightenment, self-realise … whatever) without practice of any shape or form. So all the meditation, yoga, study, service, [...]

One Thousand Hits
Yesterday, the blog had its one thousandth visitor. I suppose I should give something away…
OK.

The End is Nigh …
The thesis will soon be finished.
You know, it just happened today: the realisation that suddenly, my thesis’s completion is so damn close.

Amanda Vs Green Fonts and Capitals United
Over the past few days, I’ve been engaged in a battle against MistyLook’s standard appearance, including the snot-green font and the shouting CAPITALS (capitals, I said, f*&*ing CAPITALS!!). Also, I think sans serif fonts are cleaner and easier on the eye.
Now let’s be clear here, I might be a published writer, I might almost have my PhD, can do [...]

Advaita, Yoga and Meditation
Over the past few weeks, some truly amazing people have touched my life through this blog, other blogs and websites. Their sharing, counsel, and teachings are shining light on places I never thought would see the light or be understood by anyone.
I am humbled and thankful to those who’ve shared so much with me. You know who [...]

Resistance
Even now, when my supervisor is arriving later this week and I have an almost finished Chapter 6 – why, I’ve even nearly finished Chapter 7 and so quickly, there is still resistance to finalising Chapter 6.
I sit down at the computer in this now (this very moment) and say that it’s so close, it [...]
