I used to be New Age. Watched Spirit Science religiously.

Oh the fact that people believe you can do anything by willing it hard enough.

Comes crashing down when you notice that only the higher ups in the cult seem to be able to will themselves rich. Especially when none of them are willing to demonstrate their "powers" under controlled conditions.

All this "You can literally do anything, death is an illusion" talk and yet they never actually show any time a crystal has actually cured cancer.

I never wanted to be a materialist realist. But the problem with reality is that it is true even if you are doing your damndest not to believe it.
