The problem with the New Age folks—and you don’t need me to tell you they are a problem, do you?—well, pick an analogy, they are thick on the ground like spoiling fruit:
Say you were one of those few people who survived last year’s monsoon in Bangladesh by clinging to a tree—just say— and you happened to have up there with you a pencil and some kind of waterproof writing pad, so you write down in big letters (in the language of your choice) STOP THE MONSOON I WANT TO GET OFF. Perhaps adding, while you were at it, LORD WONT YOU BUY ME A MERCEDES BENZ.
Oops, I forgot to tell you about the BIG LETTERS. Hey, this New Age stuff just gets easier and easier—People just don’t have time to futz with Attracting the Right Stuff any more, this ain’t the Eighties, Jack.
Power Conscious Life Page is a piece of paper where the goal setter slowly, carefully, and succinctly writes out his or her goals in BIG LETTERS. By doing this, the goal setter literally draws from the true power identified in manifesting words on paper. What are the powers of the written word made manifest? The advantages of creating a Power Conscious Life Page are myriad.
I bet they are, guy, I just bet they are.
File under Narcissism, thinly veiled. A particularly heartless kind, at that.
i thought all the new agers were dead by now. guess not.
well no wonder i haven’t been getting what i want, i’ve been writing things down in teeny leedle letters. fuck it. i can’t be trusted with big letters. i’d use the power for evil.
this is an excellent thought. letter-size as extent-of-power. however, i do think it’s the only way to get a mercedes (my friends all have porsches , i must make amends—a song prolly writ before you were born.)
i know, why don’t you try it and see? let me know. be sure to spell right and if it’s a car, make a parking space first.
and if you have room, ask steve jobs to make a netbook. (yeah, right.)
Hi, Connie. There was a company at the iPhone Love Fest yesterday that demonstrated an iPhone app that does just that: Big Letters. They started off the demo with a picture of an iPhone saying “Sylvia is hot” but then they showed some real uses for it like “Low Fat Latte,” which one might flash at a coffee server, or “You’re cute” if you wanted to communicate with the person across the expanse of a cafe. Not at all New Age.
