Okay, youre going to love this... I was just scanning the Los Angeles Learning Annexs catalog and I decided to peruse the biographies of the seminar presenters. John McEnroe is that famous, tennis playing anger-non-manager who used to throw fits on the tennis courts of the world. His bio skips the rage credentials and mentions his on the court wins, and the class hes running: How to Play and Win by Your Own Rules. There is an upbeat class run by a lady who was shot in the head by a terrorist. Shes teaching something like How to Overcome Any Adversity. Fair enough, she certainly knows how to overcome ONE big setback! But the bio I like the most is promoting a meditation class: Discover the Crucial Truth for Achieving Inner Peace. The bio says the presenter was born fully illumined and spent his formative years in the Himalayas among the Hidden Masters, in whose presence all 108+ secrets were revealed to him. Wow, he was born, fully illumined, which I suppose means enlightened. He didnt have to work for it, like the rest of us sea-level saps. I dont know about you, but Im very jealous, and I WOULD KILL to be able to say in my bio that I am fully illumined. As far as Im concerned, this bio trumps Trump, who a few sessions ago ran his own class at Learning Annex. Back to the swami: Doesnt that phrase, all 108+ secrets were revealed to him intrigue you? If we attend, will we get all 108+, or will he leave off the +? If he shorts us, do you think the Annex has the cell phone numbers of the Hidden Masters, with whom he learned? Looking at his photo, and his Charles Manson, You will donate all of your earthly possessions to me NOW! stare, I feel illumined about one thing: Fame, fortune and good looks arent everything! |
