But matt, all you have to do is live consciously and rely on your chi energy and you'll never want or need to buy anything again! Conscious living and chi is all you need!

Seriously, a New Ager basically told me that very thing a couple weeks ago when I got a new bike helmet, as my old one had taken a few bad blows and I didn't trust it to take another without breaking. All I need is to bike consciously and rely on my chi energy to protect me from falls and make me visible to drivers. Then I know drivers won't hit me or harass me, and if I fall off my bike my skull wouldn't shatter, because my chi would protect me. I don't need to buy a helmet or reflectors/lights because it supports consumerism, I just need consciousness and chi. Seriously.

I'm so glad I got out of that crap before I fell too far in.

Nice on the new Birkenstocks though! :)

Does chi pay medical bills?

I don't know if it does. If my skull shattered, I'm sure some homeopathy, reiki, chiropractic, acupuncture and/or herbs would fix it right up! And people who provide such services certainly wouldn't do something like charge any money!

You should have punched the New Ager in the balls and then said "Why didn't your chi stop my fist?"

Reminds me of some stupid movie a friend watched on spirituality.

You don't need a job, awakening will provide for you. How? People will pay to hear your wisdom.

Well, if that doesn't work, creating an utopian movement is always an option.

Personally I also love consumerism. *pokes new faux-fur-lined wool coat*
