Middle-Aged White Chic In Ethiopia

Middle-Aged White Chic In Ethiopia

I agree with the general consensus.

And yes - you can find boatloads of them in India who then focus on one element of Buddhism usually - "suffering" and how to overcome the "suffering".

Whoever thinks that this is some kind of spiritual super-journey is highly mistaken.

The link to the show in itself is just a bunch of bored post-wall women, who have somehow in their minds created (due to liberal media) a romanticized version of primitive cultures. For them on the BBC show coupled with crew, security guards and local police protection - this was basically a real-life safari and nothing more. If those women went out and visited those tribes and remote regions on their own that might have been a highly different experience - and mostly a very dangerous one for them.

Next: What the fuck did they expect spiritual-wise? The cultures are primitive for a reason. There is no writing, no technology, if lucky little work, but apart from that it is just not that much fun as soon as the novelty factor wears off.

This is not a super-spiritual tribe of the Aboriginies as the one described in the book "Mutant Message Downunder" by Marlo Morgan. In the book she describes being whisked away by some super-spiritual nomadic Aboriginal tribe. They take her on a 4 months walkabout in the desert. The tribe itself displays telepathy, psychic healing, dream-study, supernatural intuitive abilities of finding water and food etc. Unfortunately no such tribe exists or existed in reality:

In 1996 a group of Aboriginal elders, incensed by this book and the damage it is doing, obtained a government grant to travel to the United States to confront Marlo Morgan and to stop a Hollywood film being made of it. They obtained a very reluctant apology from her which I heard on radio in Australia. As they represented the people of the area in which she claimed to have begun her walk across Australia she had no choice but to admit she had made the whole story up.

All those women should rather find improvement in their own lives or sometimes book a week at a monastery to meditate in earnest. But no - the women look for change in the way their mind usually accepts it - instead of them working for it, they expect wisdom to come by being thrust in a different "more noble" environment. Change for those broads must come via change of the whole bloody environment - only then may they change within.

Fuck them. As long as the BBC crew watches over them their indigenous tourism is harmless. For any other woman venturing off the beaten path she will likely find a different set of "adventures".

It is also funny how different that is to men seeking spiritual experiences - most venture out on their own and don't wish to bond with a new tribe. They travel and survive on their own and some have lived in caves for a while meditating and contemplating (even in our times). Women rather want to be thrown into another culture and then come out more enlightened. Arghhh....

"a woman's mystical journey." - yeah so mystical it was all made up.
