The first time I read the ad, I choked and cursed and spat and threw the paper to the floor....
...Then I dug the paper out of the trash and turned back to the Personals section, just to see if the damn thing was still there and just the way I remembered it. It was.
TEACHER seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person.
An earnest desire to save the world! Oh, I liked that. That was rich indeed. An earnest desire to save the world-yes, that was splendid. By noon, two hundred moonclafs, softheads, boobies, ninnyhammers, noodleheads, gawkies, and assorted oafs and thicwits would doubtless be lined up at the address give, ready to turn over all their worldlies for the rare privilege of sitting at the feet of some guru pregnant with the news that all will be well if everyone will just turn around and give his neighbor a big hug.
You will wonder. Why is this man so indignant? So bitter? It's a fair question. In fact it's a question I was asking myself...

i sure didn't take it as a 'gospel' or a cult maker (ala Dyanetics et al by Hubbard)
'movies' & fiction stories are meant to be seen thru the

but, that's just my view....
Castenadas, Don Juan the Shaman-Warrior was good 2

Another thing I feel a need to point out. I find it interesting how we read these new age books as if we're looking for answers and enlightenment. We could read the bible and get that yet so many of us don't put as much time and effort into that book as some others. Just a thought I was having, had to share.

I don't know how much truth I put into any of these books. But like us, there must be people out there who have experienced the unexplainable and perhaps this is their way to get the ideas of what might be happening to them out there for us to think about and discuss.
In the end, it is always best to go with that which you yourself have experienced.
