New agery, science and outcomes

Nice and pithy characterisation:

Rachael Kohn: The main legacy of the New Age Movement would be hard to pinpoint absolutely, but I would say that it is the combination of the scientific and the spiritual in a way that promises "results" for the practitioner in the short term. It is a highly practical approach to "outcomes" and is therefore short on ethics and long on expediency.
