when you introduced someone as your spiritual advisor, it was code for them being your drug dealer.

I don't know how widespread this was, I heard it in the club scene in northern California.

I never heard the west coast euphemism.

I guess they're getting these kids in the contests used to the idea of going broke paying an entourage.

But I am also thinking that I might have come up with a way to quit my job......and find a new career. I think that I could enjoy being a spiritual advisor, especially if I don't have to be trained and certified.

You should definitely incorporate under that name! A trademark? Or maybe a web page?

By another DU group. Hint, hint - the group name starts with an "R."

"Other ways of knowing" is often used over there as a comparison to regular ways of knowing. Like common sense. Or that awful thing - cold, inhuman materialistic science.

Without science, none of them would be yammering away on this contraption called "the Internet." But that irony seems lost on them.

I would dump a ton of existential and moral nihilism on their heads and watch the results

american idol spiritual advisers and the new age types, this is interesting, and strange also, they could of used something more like coaches who are music people like they do on the voice, who knows what the spiritual advisers could be up to, of course some of em will be really altruistic.

but that was a bit strange when they did that with american idol, if they are really good and honest spiritual advisers then cool, but how would you know either way?.
