Three capital ‘S’: sex, sects and…… stupidity


The other day, in Greece, someone must have woken up with a great surge of creativity and, after sitting at the computer, must have decided to make a new web site, a web site about the ‘Ashram of Shambala’, claiming to ‘reveal the whole truth about it’. Although the design is quite good, there is nothing original, really, about it; it is just a copy-paste - sometimes not so thorough -mainly of old articles published on other websites. Yet, it helps one making some ‘interesting’ points: firstly, how inaccurate self-claimed informers often are and, secondly, how much stupidity people can chew on in a day!!!
Obviously satisfied with this work of ‘art’, our creative genius and great ‘inquisitor’, holding a fag in one hand and a fresh cup of coffee in the other, must have immediately e-mailed the link of this site to a number of recipients; certainly a lot of unknown ones, as I also received it. Normally this kind of activity is regarded as ‘SPAM’ - a very serious internet crime - but, alas (!), this wise and courageous person, probably invested with God’s authority and protected by His blessings, must have felt that the old Machiavellian slogan, “ The ends justifies the means” had to apply in the present circumstances. After all, what is breech of the law, when one has the holy task of saving humanity from a terrible threat? So, in a courageous act of law infringement, the brave world- saviour must have decided to set out, disinterestedly, to denounce other people’s illegality …..


“Et voila! Le jeux est fait” must have exclaimed the self-declared croupier…..”Who knows what will happen? Where the ball will stop rolling? Yet, with such a massive e-mailing, chances are that things will work out as desired…..”
One of the most interesting accusations that this very informative site makes against the “leader of one of the most dangerous sects in the whole world” is that when the police broke into the premises of the ‘Ashram of Shambala’ it found in it not 1, not 2, not 3….. but 40 (!!!!) beautiful, almost naked women.
“What splendour!!!” they must have secretly thought!
Come on, Greek passionate men, the ‘best and most real’ men of the whole of Europe, how would you have felt? You would have been absolutely delighted, and the details of the scene, rather than raising disgust, in the days to follow would have been going from mouth to mouth….”What an amazing sigh, I was there!!!”
Not only Greek men, but most men in the world, live in the dichotomy: ‘manga’*: moral man, or better: secret ‘manga’, public moral man. Sex and naked bodies? Nooo!!!!!!!! They belong to a discourse built on the beach, to fantasies about blond Nordic beauties constructed behind thick and dark sunglasses, as fornication lurks in the most hidden –and not so hidden- recesses of minds. Some Greek men call Greece ‘a big bed’. They say this because, after the romantic “yes” of ‘wedding day’, most people here have the tendency to sleep around a fair bit. “How come this Guru seems to have what I would like to have??? Burn him to the rogue!” This is the image offered by the site, and some considerations emerging from it.
But…..there are other ways to look at this news: you and I are probably are not amongst the privileged ones who live in 1000sq.m houses. We belong to the crowd squeezed in 80sq.m. flats. Of course there are times when I or you are naked (right???). Still, if the bell rings, would you not immediately put something on unless…..? Well, obviously these 40 women wanted to thank the police for raiding the ‘ashram’….!!!
There is something ‘fishy’ about this report. Remember the recent case about a killer bullet bouncing off a footpath!!! Did you believe it? Of course not! When it comes to sects, accusations of ‘sexual nature’ seem to be the bullet bouncing off the pavement to make a kill!!!
Let’s have a close look at the ‘bullet’ then!

Will you, please go to the following link?


Hoops, another ‘sex’ scandal!
This time it involves the leader of a huge and respectable, Christian Orthodox country: Russia. Mr. Putin – in his concern for asserting his ‘virility’- does not feel any shame in showing off his ‘womanizer’s traits’. Is this what the 12 beautiful students of the Faculty of Journalism try to support in their leader when they give him his birthday present: a calendar exhibiting a ‘naked’ woman per each month of the year. Sexy holy month of Jesus’s birth, sexy holy month of Easter…. Mr. Putin, before going to ‘Resurrection/Anastasis celebration, as the legitimate head of a Christian Orthodox state …. fill your virile eyes with the image of splendid, slender legs in suspenders, of firm breast that hardly fit into a black sexy bras, of the captivating smile full of sexy promises....Of course you are not a charismatic man without political power…..
The sex ‘bullet’ of the inquisitor can hit the wall, and come straight back where this candid person above all suspicion sits looking satisfied at a just built website, that only denounces this person’s lack of discernment, logic evaluation and appraisal, bias and illegal spamming….
