Tower of Bentinho Babble

These are strange times.
This bad review of Bentinho Massaro's "Super Accelerated Living" is good. Go figure.

"The book is truly hilarious, if you don’t take it seriously. For example, Bentinho’s acolytes truly believe he knows exactly how the universe operates. They write:
“People are stuck in mediocre or unsatisfying lives simply because they don’t know the rules of the game. They have never learned how the universe really operates, mechanically or structurally. In this meeting, Bentinho first lays out the ground rules, the cosmic operating instructions (the driver’s manual!). Then he explains how to practice and apply these rules in daily life—for those who care enough to create an epic human experience.”

Here are some more “gems” from Bentinho: “Everything is static except consciousness.” You can become anything you desire to become.” “Linear time is an agreement.” “Every tiny motion, every movement, is within a completely different reality.” “One reality has nothing to do with the next moment’s reality. There is no structural causality anywhere.” “Understand that the government is not to blame for any single thing. No one is to blame for anything.” “All of the consciousnesses on planet Earth (and there are many parallel planet Earths) agreed to experience a similar collective agreement situation.” “Reality is not real.” “Do not focus on what-is. It’s not spiritual. It’s not enlightened. It’s very, very stupid. The present is a dead end… Be in a state of imagination.” “Some of my days recently have been insane—literally insane. And I wish the same for you—because there’s no going back. Once you taste this, you forget all about spirituality.”

How can one take this claptrap seriously? Simple, “Don’t get caught up in ideas of logic and reason,” says Bentinho. Instead, he says, “Priortize feeling good over any other consideration.” IOW, if it feels good, just do it, and screw logic, reason and reality (which isn’t real, per Bentinho). “All you will know,” says Bentinho, “is that you are God.”

Because I’m God, the All-Knowing, All Seeing One, I Say, with Absolute Authority, that this is a five-star text – a negative five-star text, that is. But because ignorant Amazon does recognize my Divine Status, and forces me, against my Will, to conform to their stifling, unenlightened, earthly standards, I, most reluctantly, agree to give it a single star."
