Rant alert: Is there something about people who can speak volubly in
long impassioned spurts that is attractive? I am listening to Abraham
Hicks, the teacher of the well-loved Louise Hay, and he/she/it orates
that way, as Hitler did (Abraham is an non-corporeal energy being,
channeled by a woman called Ester). In essence, Abraham advises that you
seek your bliss and vibrate at that "frequency" to manifest everything
you want, which is being stored up for you in a personal "vortex." You
must always remain on a "high disc." Helping others, quoth this rather
Ayn Randian alien, causes you to leave the "high flying disc" and you
must seek to "inspire" others rather than lend a hand.
I love Louise
Hay and much this Abraham says has merit. But both suggest constant
positive emotion. If a situation is bad, then affirm it is good. A
belief in a negative government, says Louise, perpetuates said; affirm
the Tea Party is loving and honorable. Don't watch the news, Abraham and
Louise advise, even as armed militias are walking our streets. Let the
enormous yachts and conspicuous consumption of the wealthy give you
pleasure; if you don't admire the rich, you might not become one of
them. Don't look at statistics about poverty, and don't be codependent
and slip from your high disc by wondering how many meals-on-wheels the
wealth in that yacht might buy.
I like positive thinking as much as
the next poet, but constant meditation on unreal thoughts, saying what
is bad is good, is Orwellian doublethink, doublespeak. And it may be in
the better interest of some of us to help one another than lose
ourselves in atomizing and alienating new age philosophies. I am not
saying that Louise Hay and Abraham are tools of the powers that be, but
they are a great help to them.
