Hmmm... Blogger doesn't seem to want me to post this comment, keeps rejecting it... must be really subversive, now all the more determined hehe

Maybe you've seen these disorders in yoga circles:

Pseudo-Tantric Hyperlibido Confusion Syndrome - you know the type, they just want to fuck every hottie in the class and so they call it Tantra baby!

Paradoxical Name-Change Complex – I mean if names don’t really matter, then why change them? And if you think they do, isn’t that clinging to form???

Chronic Indocentric Fashion-Dysmorphic Disorder – propensity to wear Indian clothing for no obvious reason other than to tell the world you’re a yoga teacher

Phantom Concept Propogation Syndrome - Taking ideas that already exist and giving them a new name to pretend you invented the concept so you can sell it

Serial Guru Dependency Disorder – you know the kind, they flit from one Guru to another, name drop about their experiences with every Baba under the sun and sing their praises. But they simply cannot settle on one method or practice and seem just as darned unhappy/unenlightened as the rest of us for all their troubles.
