Rock out: Ms. Byrne had promised Ms. Hicks 10 percent of DVD revenues to appear in “The Secret,” both parties said. But they had a falling out, and Ms. Hicks could not even bring herself to watch Ms. Byrne this month on “Oprah,” the movement’s moment of triumph. In a backhanded compliment Ms. Hicks said, […]

Spiritual and pseudospiritual movements don’t come out of nowhere and they definitely don’t come from channeled entities. The Law of Attraction maps all the way back to the 19th Century New Thought movement here in the US.

I did undergrad at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio (you know, near Wright-Patt Air Force Base where they keep the Roswell aliens) and the school has a tremendous commitment to assisting students with any impairment. The entire campus was connected by underground tunnels (great for a frosty Midwestern winter) and there was an office […]
