In case you were taken by the idea of the Law of Attraction, and thought you could keep yourself from suffering or dying of cancer by keeping your thoughts pure----here's what happened to the writer who popularized this concept: http://www.squidoo.com/death-of-abraham-hicks-esther-and-jerry-hicks-creation.

Personally, i am opposed to leadership or followership. I will take good advice from anybody, but bad advice from no one. I am not fan of "new age" but "new age" sometimes translated the age old teachings of other cultures that i might not otherwise have noticed. But, since all translation fails to totally share the meaning and context of the original, i am always aware of potential danger (people dying in "new age" sweat lodges).
