Conversations Beyond Science and Religion Is a New Age Coming?

b'The term, "new age," (http://www.religioustolerance.org/newage.htm) has come to stand for a hodgepodge of ideas without scientific legitimacy. And at times the criticism seems justified. It is not easy to see how one proves the truth of such things as magical healing crystals, UFOs, or astrology. On the other hand, it might not be wise to dismiss out-of-hand everything labeled "new age." A prejudice for or against an idea is still a prejudice. On this show, Philip Comella\'s guest, Dick Larson, a student of the Ageless Wisdom Teachings (http://www.share-international.org/background/awteachings/AWT_main.htm) and the Ascended Masters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascended_master), talks about how a real new age -- offering hope for personal growth and transformation -- is actually beginning to dawn. Listen in and see for yourself whether there might not be something to this new age idea after all.'
