Consuming Mind
Spiritual
experience and goods can certainly reinforce a consuming mind, too, and
it is no surprise to see this happening in a consumer culture.
Marketers are successfully targeting spiritual consumers as a market
niche and figuring out exactly what fulfills their self-centered
yearnings. How many of these products are necessary for spiritual
enlightenment? Probably not one.
