They can market anything – they can rape anything – anything can be primed for mass consumption – and it takes no intelligence whatsoever:
What can you say for someone who takes someone else’s religious documents, with little education nor understanding and none of the cultural contexts nor experiences, and proceeds to culturally rape them as if she’s created some New Age cult to sell people books and tapes on how to live?
Some may know already whom I’m talking about, but for those who don’t, let me make some positive and negative examples before I reveal the aforementioned parasite.
Remember Cat Stevens? He was an Englishman with Greek Cypriot heritage who later became the Muslim mullah Yusef Islam. He now teaches people Islam, but he became Muslim and absorbed that knowledge completely before disseminating it. He is also educated, intelligent and moral.
Remember Angelina Jolie? She is active in helping Asian refugee children to survive and become educated and to overcome the destruction of their families and neighborhoods. She put her money where her mouth is and adopted a little boy whom she actively raises, and frequently goes to Asia to physically work with the relief workers whom she funds with her own money and her strenuous fundraising. She speaks to the public frequently about the issues connected with the plight of these children, with expertise and intelligence and eloquence.
Now: we’re done with the positive examples.
Let’s leave unnamed the television actor who created the Psychic Friends Network. “My psychics will get better results than your psychics…” Can you say ‘get rich quick’? Why didn’t Miss Cleo see it coming when she saw this guy go broke and getting fined and sued? Or Dionne Warwick, for that matter?
Enough of that.
Who are we talking about, gang? Well, first, what are we talking about?
There are sacred Jewish writings that are being raped and sold like Dianetics (without even the sinister marketing and deceit savvy of the late, evil L. Ron Hubbard, ala Scientology and creator of Dianetics).
What are these writings? They are the Kabbalah, and they are a collection of writings on philosophy and the spiritual world, and are considered to be so esoteric and possibly dangerous that in the Orthodox Jewish community, it is considered blasphemy for a man younger than 35 years of age to look at them. It’s pretty much for the same reason why you can’t be the President of the USA until you’re at least 35 (although there apparently is no accounting for IQ, as things stand presently). Spiritual and personal maturity are the issues in this case. Who is best able to understand these writings? Trained Rabbis who understand the Jewish culture of yesterday and today and are experienced enough in life and their faith to know how to apply these writings.
Who is making money turning these sacred writings into consumerist, New Age psuedo-spirituality?
None other than the psuedo-musical, psuedo-talented, psuedo-person Madonna. In between bouts of rubbing her genitalia in front of the general public and of course kissing overripe barely-legal sluts (who learned it all from her) on television, Madonna has been writing children’s books.
Well, at least we have the right people doing this for us, right everyone?
She’s written three: the first one didn’t catch on, and the second and third one apparently are about a little boy and the Kabbalah. Nevermind that little boys aren’t supposed to be reading the Kabbalah. This is aside from her other panderings of ‘Kabbalah’ knowledge, including with the help of her young ho’ buddy, Britney Spearme, who also is now chattering about the Kabbalah, which is not for idiots, in VERY… SMALL… WOOORRRRDSSSSS.
From what I have read about her gibberish, she’s writing these books as if she has the perspective of someone who is Jewish. What she actually is, of course, is white trash from … is it New York City? can’t remember… of Italian Catholic background. She also has no real education and went right into the entertainment business, more or less, and hammered away at learning to market herself rather than to create real music. In America of course this means that she learned how to be nasty and slutty, which is the whole of her cultural legacy.
So what is she doing writing about the Kabbalah and using Britney Spearme to help her market it?
Isn’t this the person who seemed to have a new maturity when she had a baby by another idiot… and when she needed more money (since she can’t make it any other way) went right back out there and started being a media slut again?
Isn’t she still being a media slut, and is this what the Kabbalah is doing for her?
Or is it simply expected to raise her apparent IQ for everybody? Well, that’s not working for Britney Spearme, I assure you.
I have recently read of a Rabbi warning people to stay away from Madonna’s marketing of the Kabbalah.
Listen to the experts. Unless you have the maturity, intelligence, cultural context and sense to make true use of something that another people created, don’t turn it into pop spiritual pap. Leave it alone.
Now, Madonna, you can go back to rubbing yourself and sucking face with Britney Spearme and SHUT UP.
