Infatuating Ideas: Addendum

There are many of these nice fancy sites, for these big projects based on wondrous holistic connected oneness, that offer courses,  seminars,  programs,  membership, trips, excursions, awakenings, etc. This is really big in the New Age community, where people pay others to lead them into some particular conceptual framework.
