[I had a grandmother who was into ancient astronauts and the
   power of myth type of stuff, did Yoga,, my mother fed us yogurt
   back in the late 70s/early 80s and was into health food... [I
   was eating Carob Bean instead of chocolate in the early 80s.
   CAROB BEANS!]

   ...so in retrospect, I think I probably had an eclectic
   upbringing, or at least brought up in somewhat New Age beliefs
   [even though I went to the methodist church for Sunday school
   back then]

   Rejected it around the age of 14 (the New Age stuff) but I'm
   usually able to spot it when I see it.

   Their magic is customizing the text while changing the context.
   By manipulating the context of a person's text, you can cause
   them to imply many things.

   It works particularly well with logical thinkers because they
   focus on the text only and not the context.

   Transcendental Meditation is an amazingly powerful worldwide
   movement and I have nothing against what they do per se...
   except when they take liberties with the words of dead people.
   They've done some horrible things to Tesla's words, but then
   again, one of his early biographies in 1917 that he signed did
   as well.

   It used "I", and Tesla even gave it a thumbs up and endorsed it
   but, to me, being Ghostwritten and endorsing it isn't the same
   as writing something yourself and should be treated as
   distinctly separate for clarity's sake.
