Satan preys on those whom practice Yoga! ...so says Virginia GOP lieutenant governor candidate E.W. Jackson
It's another day and I've been handed another crazy quote which to write about. Apparently, Virginia's GOP lieutenant governor candidate - E.W. Jackson - wrote the following interesting bit in his 2008 book, Ten Commandments to an Extraordinary Life: Making Your Dreams Come True:
"When one hears the word meditation, it conjures an image of Maharishi Yoga talking about finding a mantra and striving for nirvana. The purpose of such meditation is to empty oneself. [Satan] is happy to invade the empty vacuum of your soul and possess it. Beware of systems of spirituality which tell you to empty yourself. You will end up filled with something you probably do not want."
What about emptying oneself of sin? Of bodily fluids? Of crap (yes, to be taken ambiguously)? These can all be spiritual experiences. Am I at potential risk of Satan taking possession of my being if and when I use the restroom? At restaurants, should restroom signs now read, "Satan's Men" and "Satan's Women"? Can Imodium then be labeled as God's pill, while Viagra can be labeled the Devil's pill?
If we think about it, what Mr. Jackson is essentially saying is this:
"When you stretch, exercise, sweat, and relax to the sounds of the nature channel, an invisible red evil being with horns and a pitchfork could very well penetrate deep inside of you, without you knowing it, and take control of your being and your life...forever... Beware! When you practice Yoga, get ready to practice going to hell!"
I wonder what Mr. Jackson thinks about individuals whom empty themselves of energy and worries enough to fall asleep. That's when we're at our most vulnerable. If this invisible red evil being takes advantage of people while they're sleeping, we're all doomed!
