A big reason churches are so impactful in the culture war is because they offer community and, specifically, community resources. If you're a single parent, it's easier to get involved in the local church because it offers a free after school program, cheap friday fish frys, and Sunday school than it is to attend your local social justice meet ups that only happen late at night, don't offer child care, and aren't generally welcoming to children. Even if you're dispassionate of the former and are very passionate about the latter, if you're desperate for community and resources you have to make practical concessions to accommodate your children.

I work in local government. Throughout 2020, we were working in extremely dangerous conditions, and they kept sending us emails offering us classes in mindfulness meditation. Then my boss had a meeting to ask us why morale was so low. We were like, "We don't need mindfulness meditation. We need safe working conditions... And a raise."

I have fibromyalgia and I really hate it when people tell me I'm just not bringing the right energy into things and I'd stop being in pain if I just had a better attitude.

As a Buddhist itâs depressing how commercialized Buddhist iconography, ideas and practiced have become. Buy this book, pay for this retreat, expensive Buddha statue and so on. In America at least.

I feel like when talking about the New Age Movement and referencing hippies, it's good to acknowledge how much they appropriate the cultures of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Specifically, Indigenous peoples in the US could not legally practice their religions, ceremonies, or certain cultural practices until the passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978. So while these people were appropriating their ceremonies, Indigenous peoples couldn't even practice their own culture without fear/risk of retribution. I think a book rec that would add an interesting layer to this is "Playing Indian" by Philip Deloria (it's a fairly short book.) Love your videos!

My favourite New Age experience is when I saw a "healer" (to please a friend) and the "healer" started talking to my thumb and "reading its psychic energy" (and getting things about me very wrong). Literally having a conversation with my thumb. It took all my self control not to burst out laughing.

worth noting that in the extended health field in particular, chiropractic care draws its origins HEAVILY from transcendentalist belief systems â that anything that's wrong with us is because our spine isn't aligned properly and that we're capable of healing ourselves if we readjust them. Myles Power has an excellent video series about this and how chiropractic care has consistently been rife with malpractice that had on many occasions, resulted in a patient's death. I cannot recommend it enough

As someone who grew up in Brazilian Espiritualism it's really interesting to learn that them gringos have been drinking from the same crazy juice.

Loved this video, especially as someone whose into cults and in the past western occult. I'm still watching, but wanted to add something since we (Black Americans) r left out of this convo. The commodification of "New age spirituality" was happening before eastern religions with African religions. In the US, we have Hoodoo and Voodoo (different from the African and Haitian type) that was outlawed for Black Americans to practice however was allowed for white Americans to set up stores to sell things. Black Anthropologists called this markerteered hoodoo. Also for spiritualism there exists a different type for Black Americans as well. Originally both groups of people were together however as time went on the white spiritualist church started to ban Black people this forcing them to create their own churches. When they started passing laws to criminalize Hoodoo and Voodoo these churches became places to preserve these religions underground. I added this to show how the commodification and selling of "exotic" religions for a check was a phenomenon that was happening in US own backyard before happening on an international scale. So when yall go to New Orleans peep how few of the "hoodoo/voodoo" shops are actually owned or ran by Black people. Also if u wish to learn more u can actually check out wikipedia someone did an amazing job explaining the history and the reference section based where the books came from.

"Everyone who died in the Holocaust choose to die in the Holocaust [...] That's why Hitler went to heaven."
Well, I think that's enough internet for this lifetime.

Something that doesn't really get emphasized nearly enough is how strongly Blavatsky's Theosophical Society is tied to colonialist white supremacism, exemplified in their Great White Brotherhood and some of the later teachings, and that colonialist white supremacism is still profoundly influential in many modern "New Age" groups and types of "spirituality".
Something else that doesn't get emphasized enough is how much of later New Age religious movements is based in colonialist appropriation of various indigenous religious traditions, not just Indian and Chinese religions; as well as its tendency to conflate them into monolithic stereotypes instead of profoundly different beliefs and practices.

I don't have time to finish this before work, so I'll just say I've been a fan since this channel was BlackGoat666 with 2 videos, and I love what it's become. Easily one of the most fun and thought-provoking "leftist cultural analysis" channels out there. Thanks for what you do. That's it, that's my Engagement comment.

A wonderful book I read called âMcMindfulnessâ only made me so much angrier as a working class person towards HR. Great video!

This was great to listen to because it confirmed my own theories on how New Age became what it is today. My dad served in VietNam and pretty much remained what I would call a 'classical hippie' since after the war, and he has always complained about 'yuppies'. In high school a lot of his classical hippie tendencies had rubbed off on me, and my friends handed me a copy of 'The Secret' to read thinking I would love it and it would change my life, but I was horrified by the disgusting ideas hidden in that superficially 'inspiring' book. I tried to explain to my friends what was wrong with it but no one understood me at the time and insisted I was close minded and would never get it as long as I continued to be 'negative'. Now 15 years later everyone who isn't New Age finally noticed the same things wrong with it, and some of my friends who defended it at the time have also seen the light by now. I can say though, the moment I read that book and saw how everyone was just uncritically fawning over it is when I started to realize there was a huge difference between classical hippies like my dad and the neo-liberal descendant of the yuppies we now know as 'New Age'.

One of my special interests is in scams, con artists, self help gurus and grifters in general-- I don't know why I just find deception fascinating. So I've definitely noticed a lot of them tend to be New Age-y and have been wondering how that happened for a while so I'm glad to see this video.

For about 6 months during college, I was very into Alan Watts. Because of my studies (philosophy and religion) I was personally interested in reading Buddhist sutras, Daoist texts/parables, and a mix of philosophical literature (mostly 19th and 20th century continental stuff; Frankfurt school, Nietzsche, etc). Through YouTube, I happened upon some obscure lofi channels with ~5 hour video compilations of Watts which were always a fun listen. Over those 6 months, I came to view Watts not as a grifter (despite the fact he himself has proclaimed to be one) but someone who could discuss, with a rough amount of clarity, common problems I encountered in my area of study. Long story short, he was interesting to listen to in my free time and helped me cope with the existential dread that comes with being a broke philosophy student.
Eventually, I felt no desire to listen to him anymore; but not because I found him 'corrupt' in some way or another. In the words of Watts himself, "My goal is that you never attend one of my sessions again" or something along those lines. And eventually it clicked for me: there was no need for a guru or spiritual teacher. Watts, like any grifter, was simply a person with a story to tell; the only difference was I found him both amusing and endearing enough to listen to without the desire to throw money at him. In one sense, he was the best kind of grifter because he didn't seem to give a shit whether people listened to him or not.
All of this is to say, you could imagine the shock on my face when I get on YouTube one evening only to be greeted by some hyper-capitalist Uber advertisement with a random audio clip of Watts saying "What do you REALLY desire??"
It's both depressing and vile how any avenue of human interest in a capitalist society can be redirected toward the motive of productivity, personal gain, and totalizing control over the world.
I know my example of 'Uber Watts' isn't really significant (a better example would be the adoption of Watts' content to sell capitalist ideology via the ocean of New age/self help channels on YouTube) but it feels like a pretty succinct example of the problem you discussed in the video.
Anyways, thanks again for the effort you put into this one. It was a great watch. Much love to you!

This was so helpful! Itâs particularly interesting that neoliberal/new age stuff was marketed towards women, you can definitely see the echoes of that in the self-care industry.
