See! I told you that his guy was one of those devoutly religious New Agers! I nailed it!
He does the same thing that other religious fundamentalists do...claim that many (or even most) good things come from his religion, etc. When I was in San Diego, a Mormon claimed that the fundamental reason that California (including San Diego) did so well was primarily because of the Mormon religion. New Agers do the same thing but replace one religion with their religion, for example, instead faith in God Almight, New Agers have faith in the mythical "mind" and so forth. Since we have experience with other devoutly religious folks, we should get some more experience with this devout New Ager and his New Age theology.
