Oop, sorry sorry sorry! If it makes you feel any better, the people I knew who were into it, were just super-enthusiastic and super-self-deluded, but mostly harmless? Like, they weren't manipulative, or anything. The "guy at the top" was only in their heads....He was literally an "Ascended Master" a thousand LOLs. The literature was basically a whole lot of "I stood on the Face on Mars!" and "I spoke with the Ascended Master yesterday and I felt so warm and fuzzy!" so nothing like, way sketch, or "Send me $100 for this vial of Healing Prayer Water and you'll be rich!" or anything in that vein. The "Institute" that published the stuff made good dollar, of course, but there wasn't any kind of hierarchy or anything, they were the only ones getting paid, and likely not that much, given there weren't too many Eckies around at the time. The UFO people were much more popular/populous, at the time.

Er. I should add the caveat that this was the PNW in the 1980s....

Well, that's good at least. It sounds like they were having fun, and I'm glad they were able to enjoy themselves.

PNW?

Not the same anon, but Pacific Northwest. Crystals, pot, birkenstocks, etc.
