Yesterday we went to Bad Salzdetfurth. All those place names with ‘Bad’ are remnants of Germanic culture, indicating towns where healing springs can be found, around which a spa resort, or Kurort, is often developed. The Solebad in Bad Salzdetfurth has the largest open-air saltwater bath I’ve ever seen. True to German form, it’s plastered with warning signs stating that you may only stay in the water for 20 minutes for medical reasons.
But we were really more interested in the sauna area, which in Germany is kept separate from the swimming facilities. Saunas are for the nude, swimming is not. 95-degree saunas — very proper. We started with the 90-degree one. A German was snoring inside. How on earth can you fall asleep in a place like that?
During the infusions, what you immediately notice is the no-nonsense approach. Unlike in the Netherlands, where sauna masters love theatrics and showmanship. Symbolically, I was whipped with birch branches — a bit of a disappointment, really, as the ancient Germanic shamans knew how to wield those branches with power.
We visited on a Saturday, but it wasn’t busy at all. Our sauna master back in Geldrop, to name one, turns each infusion into a kind of fantasy journey.
This time the destination was Mexico, accompanied by Mexican music, and he narrated the whole thing with bits and bobs about Mexico and the imaginary trip he wants you to go on. It’s a pretty coercive format: you get dragged into someone’s projection and your own imagination is steered down narrow paths.
What really strikes me as psyborg is those new-age boxes in which, for example, colors are assigned specific meanings. All kinds of stones, each with a supposed definite power that some obscure figure once determined for us. I had a hot stone massage for the first time — no chatter about the supposed ‘meaning’ of this or that. They used lava stones simply because they retain heat well.
Belief in the stone as stone, instead of belief in a bunch of abstract compartments. It may well be true that each type of stone has different effects, but I only believe in things you discover through personal experience. And even then it’s tricky: how can you know that something has a consistent effect for everyone? You can’t know that — not even as a shaman. That kind of categorizing is for the psyborg, who has to cram everything into boxes. Green stone, good for your toe. It’s religious nonsense.
Speaking of nonsense, Wilders came out yesterday with a bogus study claiming that “60% of Dutch people believe Islam doesn’t belong in the Netherlands.”
I posted this diagram on his timeline with a comment that he is a completely uncritical servant of the Arab branch:
[Image link omitted for textual format]
The yellow tree represents the Arab religions. The green one represents the European. I’m sick of hearing people claim that the yellow tree is ‘ours’ — nothing could be further from the truth. It’s an invasive tree, and everyone knows it. Science is clear: the green tree is the European one. If someone wants to dedicate their whole life to serving Arab interests, that’s up to them — we do have religious freedom — but please, stop dragging these childish tribal wars from the Middle East onto European soil.
Muslims have just as much right to exist as Christians and Jews — and none of the three is a European culture. They’re invasive species, and they behave as such. They’re allowed to exist, we’ve got religious freedom for a reason, but enough with the toxic nonsense.
Saying that a religion doesn’t ‘belong’ in our country is a veiled call that ultimately leads to genocide. Because how else do you get rid of a religion from a country? Exactly.
Every time I see some sponsored hate preacher declare that Arab culture is actually ours, I’m going to post that scientific diagram. Take your tribal conflict about some chosen people and their macho monogod elsewhere. Practice it at home, quietly, because you do have the right to your nonsense. But it’s not the European tree. It never was.
