This morning, the studios of WBAI were occupied by protestors. The audio record is at: http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=3158 The occupation couldn't have come sooner since the morning's proceedings were taken up with the "Egyptian yoga" techniques promoted by a smarmy new age huckster named Muata Ashby. Here's something from his website: ---- Sema is the Ancient Egyptian word and symbol meaning union of the Higher and Lower Self which leads to spiritual enlightenment in a human being. The Sema Institute is dedicated to the propagation of the universal teachings of spiritual evolution. It is a non-denominational, non-profit organization which recognizes the unifying principles in all spiritual and religious systems of evolution throughout the world. Our primary goals are to provide the wisdom of ancient spiritual teachings in books, courses and other forms of communication. Secondly, to provide expert instruction and training in the various yogic disciplines including Ancient Egyptian Philosophy, Christian Gnosticism, Indian Philosophy and modern science. Thirdly, to promote world peace and Universal Love. ---- When somebody writes a book on the Pacifica wars, there should be a chapter on how the new age movement was used as a wedge against progressive media.
