mystic sixties and cults

[joe sz]

Lately I've been reading books by Gary Lachman both for personal edification and review for Cultic Studies Journal.

Anyone recovering from 'the sixties' and the New Age cults they generated will benefit from this great journalistic effort by Lachman:
"Turn Off Your Mind: The Mystic Sixties and the Dark Side of the Age of Aquarius"
I feel like I've been living this book for decades, exploring and trying to make sense of a very confusing era and its roots. Lachman puts much of it together in one volume published in 2001. He has since written many more in this genre.

Also, check out this one on Rev Moon---a sign that our government is easily influenced by crackpots if they have enough money--Moon is a billionaire.

Thanks Joe,

No wonder cults flourish in the world when governments and journalists prostitute their ethics to the highest bidder.
