Renounce your consumerism, and get cool new-age stuff in the process!

The whole pitch wavers back and forth between spending and having, and not-spending and not-having:
The first premise is that we've bought unneeded things that clutter our homes and scatter our attentions. Therefore, we'd like to "simplify": to dispose of what's not beneficial or not important.

But apparently we can't figure out how to do this on our own, so we're offered a magazine for $3.95 an issue at the newsstand. Now, spending $39.50 a year on (another) magazine seems an odd way to become less consumeristic. So we could obtain a discount by subscribing.
On the other hand, would doing so mean that we're becoming more focused on money and thus more materialistic, or is frugality itself contrary to consumerism? I really must go away and figure this thing out.

On the other other hand, the pitch offers an enticement to make it an even better value: a free four-part Feng Shui kit, which includes:

• "Feng Shui in 10 Simple Lessons," the perfect basic book of Feng Shui that teaches you what positive chi energy can do to perfect your home and work environments.
• "Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui," a guide to not only simplifying your physical surroundings but cleansing your soul.
• "Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life: How to Use Feng Shui to Get Love, Money, Respect, and Happiness" is a comprehensive lesson in living life with more purpose and joy.
• A Woodstock Percussion FSCC (Feng Shui Crystal Chime), with which you will harmonize your audio environment and enjoy the calming effect of these fine-tuned, Feng Shui-balanced chimes.

I guess this is what the Vatican was talking about in that document on new-age spirituality as a cultural trend promoted for commercial purposes.
