Huffington has had a lifelong interest in spirituality; in her youth, together with Bernard Levin, she explored the Rajneesh movement, later dating est founder Werner Erhard and going on to become affiliated with John-Roger Hinkins' Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness. In 1994, she published a self-help book titled The Fourth Instinct, outlining her view that people should rise above the three basic instincts of survival, power, and sex to find their higher and better selves.
Corporate big bucks also got to her. She got really big money when she and her husband Michael divorced, and AOL paid her $315 million for Huff-N-Puff in 2011.
I don't recall when she turned from claiming to be a conservative to actually supporting most things liberal, but it may have been during the run-up to the 2004 presidential election, where she supported Kerry.
Now, all of the details above are based on my possibly faulty memory, except for the Wikipedia quote. For instance, she may have started the Post before leaving FR.
I will not give them a web hit by going over there to find out. At one time, admitting that you had read from the H. Post could get you banned from FR.
The Orthodox Church contains EVERYTHING one needs for his or her salvation!!!!
Arianna should have just gone back to what she originally had. (Many people do.) Then she would have no need to chase after exotic gurus, and the demons who inevitably accompany them!
