False Enlightenment as “Pseudo Rigpa” and the Commodification of Love: How Non-Monogamy, Polyamory, and Modern Ideologies Misappropriate Dharma, Commercialize Liberation, and Market Pseudo-Spirituality is a cross-disciplinary investigation into the ideological and cultural mechanisms behind modern pseudo-spirituality.The book argues that much of what is presented today as “liberation,” “non-attachment,” or “authentic love” represents not true spiritual awakening but its ideological imitation — a false enlightenment that merges spiritual rhetoric with neoliberal and consumerist logic. This phenomenon, termed Pseudo-Rigpa, exposes how contemporary movements such as non-monogamy, polyamory, and pop-spirituality commodify love, transcendence, and even moral detachment.Integrating Buddhist psychology, moral philosophy, and cultural theory, the study examines how modern ideologies have re-engineered the language of Dharma to legitimize indulgence, narcissism, and emotional disengagement. What once sought transcendence now markets gratification; what once demanded renunciation now glorifies indulgence; and what once promised liberation now functions as a refined system of psychological, moral, and economic control.This work is part of the Aletheia Project, an ongoing interdisciplinary research program exploring the intersections of mind, ideology, and civilization through Integrative Theoretical System Studies (ITSS).Keywords: False Enlightenment, Pseudo-Rigpa, Dharma, Polyamory, Non-Monogamy, Consumer Spirituality, Neoliberalism, Hedonism, Ideological Control, Cultural Theory, Aletheia ProjectLicensing clarification:This work is released under the Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial–NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license.Full license text: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/.This note supersedes Figshare’s default CC BY 4.0 selection to preserve author’s original licensing terms.
