  • My writing may not fully represent either my thought process or my personal sentiments at the time of writing those thoughts - because I always strive to be objective and well-balanced spectator of the situation, instead of enforcing my personal standpoints to my readers. I believe that such approach does the best justice to subject matter. Objectivity is always the key and important parameter in all processes of Life!

  • As represented by Mark Satin's (1978) movement-encompassing treatise, , the New Age movement is plural in its expressions of antagonism towards relations of subordination in the United States. It calls for a new revolutionary strategy appropriate for our time, and focuses its efforts on the discursive plane, at the level of consciousness. Its goal is a radical plural democracy, although it lacks specific criteria for the ideal world or ideal political work. And it rejects, explicitly, the working class as the primary agent of change, emphasizing instead plural struggles from diverse standpoints. This chapter argues that the New Age does not represent an adequate political response to the conditions of late capitalism. ... Satin is calling for therapeutic, self-oriented work within the democratic imaginary, a reworking of individual consciousness in place of public struggle. ... Satin does not call his enemy capitalism.
