Funnily enough, Seagal had described hell as when you are “put in a place where everyone has the same delusion.” The collective delusion of Omega [Institute of Holistic Studies] is that of overwhelming narcissism posing as altruism. I have ended up at a spa that refuses to call itself a spa, an “institute” with a terror of the world so crippling that it has no newspapers. Should I have bothered, before I came, to parse the terms self-help and retreat? The one unabashedly egocentric, the other suggesting defeated flight.
