The New Age movement includes everything from occult practices to new science, personal growth to holistic medicine, sustainable communities to channels and UFO abductees. Part autobiographical, this book opens up new dimensions of understanding about the pitfalls and the potentials of the New Age.

The New Age can be very confusing. What should be made of a movement that ranges from the most profound and wide teachings on the one hand, to people selling crystals on the street corner on the other - and includes everything from occult practices to new science, personal growth to holistic medicine, sustainable communities to channels and UFO abductees? Underneath all the contradictions and confusions of the New Age movement is a very ancient idea, a spiritual idea that can put us in touch with a source of creative energy and vision. Part autobiographical, this book opens up new dimensions of insight and understanding about the pitfalls and the potentials of the New Age.
