[I had a grandmother who was into ancient astronauts and the
power of myth type of stuff, did Yoga,, my mother fed us yogurt

CAROB BEANS!]
...so in retrospect, I think I probably had an eclectic

[even though I went to the methodist church for Sunday school
back then]

Their magic is customizing the text while changing the context.
By manipulating the context of a person's text, you can cause
them to imply many things.
It works particularly well with logical thinkers because they
focus on the text only and not the context.
Transcendental Meditation is an amazingly powerful worldwide

except when they take liberties with the words of dead people.
They've done some horrible things to Tesla's words, but then
again, one of his early biographies in 1917 that he signed did
as well.
It used "I", and Tesla even gave it a thumbs up and endorsed it
but, to me, being Ghostwritten and endorsing it isn't the same
as writing something yourself and should be treated as
distinctly separate for clarity's sake.
