231: New Age Bible, Postmodern Novel (w/ Sheila Heti)
Conspirituality
Euphoria, Paranoia, and Spiritual Narratives
This chapter examines the connection between the MPA Ultra program and political attitudes since the 1960s, particularly the influence of cultural narratives that promote inaction amid a rise in neoliberal sentiments. It explores how spiritual texts, like 'A Course in Miracles,' can impact individual spirituality and political ideologies, alongside themes of paranoia and artistic creation. The discussion reflects on the deep complexities of personal agency, creative inspiration, and the socio-political factors that shape contemporary cultural experiences.
