The four gurus of Hinduism—mother, father, teacher, and scriptures—form a complete system of guidance for life. Each has a unique role in teaching morality, knowledge, and spirituality.

'The "growth mindset" is Microsoft's cult — a vaguely-defined, scientifically-questionable, abusively-wielded workplace culture monstrosity, peddled by a Chief Executive obsessed with framing himself as a messianic figure with divine knowledge of how businesses should work.'
'The book is centered around the theme of redemption, with the subtitle mentioning a “quest to rediscover Microsoft’s soul.” […] The dark age — Steve “Developers” Balmer’s Microsoft, with Microsoft stagnant and missing winnable opportunities, like mobile — contrasted against this brave, bright new era where a nearly-assertive Redmond pushes frontiers in places like AI.'
'Like any cult, it encourages the person to internalize their failures and externalize their successes.'

How to deal with feelings of not being “good enough”
Our obsession with self-improvement is making us miserable.
We compare ourselves to the idealized version of millions of strangers online.
Where we falter is believing that more money, more things, better things, better selves will ultimately make us happy.🔗 https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/24091379/how-to-be-enough-habituation-hedonic-treadmill-comparison

Alot of #Gurus will say 'Don't do #Chinta (to worry), do #Chintan (to think)'...
My question is, what is the difference between the 2? Because the questions are the same in both... like...
Why is this happening to me?
What is wrong with me?
Did I do something?
Etc...Most will give a roundabout ans... Let me tell you the simple diff...
Chinta has emotions, while Chintan is devoid of emotions. Thats it. -

Lord save us from unhealed healers who believe their private, privileged and lucky revelations should be the basis for public policy.

Interesting academic talk about #ConspiracyTheorist characteristics and the state of influence of these [mostly white men] today.

Here's a video on an issue I've run into with clients, students, colleagues, and even just attendees at my talks. "Experts" make sweeping, seemingly (but not) supported philosophical claims. People uncritically accept them and then are troubled by them

Well, instead of peace & love directed at yours truly the audience close to me started yelling abuse at me. Did Muktananda tell them 2 cool it? Nah. So, being a nice guy I left with my 3 kids.
At the time I didn't know this guru was supposed to be siddha powerful. To me he was just an Indian guy who was supposed to be holy. I didn't think he was.
A few yrs later I wrote something inspired by that encounter - don't know if it's a poem ...it's intention was lyrics for a song...but I didn't get the music done. Here it is "I'm A Holy Man".

Don't know why but I've always had issues with #gurus & I've met quite a few. The one that stands out for me was when
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muktananda
came to Australia. I was squatting saving houses from being demolished in Glebe & I heard from a friend that he was speaking at East Sydney Tech College. So I thought I'd check him out taking 3 kids from our squat commune. When I arrived the room was full & Muktananda was on a stage with leopard skins scattered on the floor. He sat cross legged on the stage floor & as did the crowd in the hall floor I, with my 3 kids were at the back & kids being kids they started making some noise & restless movements.
Everybody in audience was QUIET & Muktananda asked that the kids be quiet. I tried to shoosh them & they were quiet for a short while. The cross legged audience all turned & stared at me. The vibes were very HEAVY & directed at me with their stares & gazes. Muktananda started to yell at me to keep the kids quiet. They were just doing kid stuff. I stood up& said, "What's your problem? They're kids being kids." Well, that didn't do down well with the hippie peacenik audience OMMING & Ahmming in my direction. Muktananda said, "Go, leave." I replied, "Funny, I think Jesus said suffer the little kids on Sermon on the Mount & he wldn't mind kids playing."

Time for my regular reminder of Peter Drucker's remark that we call people #gurus because charlatan is too long for a headline - as in this article about #buytolet charlatans in the guardian https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/mar/21/the-improbable-rise-of-landlord-influencers

"When the world is seen as being constantly under attack from negative forces, there are those who deem themselves as courageous enough, intelligent enough, pure enough, god-fearing or spiritual enough, who arrive to save us — either from ourselves or from outside forces..."

In this podcast, the final roundup of why self-help gurus are gathering forces to despise ”wokeness” is one of the best I’ve ever heard:
Structural explanations of problems undermine their individual heroism.
Indeed, domains where the individual betterment program reigns supreme are at risk of falling into the teeth of conservatism, as there’s often a dangerously short distance from their message to ”you only have yourself to blame”.

Just finished listening to this thought-provoking @BBCSounds series by @helenlewis on online gurus where she explores why people are looking to charismatic leaders to tell us how to live as trust in institutions weaken.
Would highly recommend!

We live…in a golden age of #con #artistry
Much of the attention has focussed on schemes that target women.
But Findeisen was interested in the self-proclaimed #finance #gurus who target people like him and his friends from college—#young #men adrift in the post-financial-crisis world, distrustful of the traditional financial system but hungry for some kind of edge.
