True-believer syndrome

is a term coined by M. Lamar Keene in his 1976 book The Psychic Mafia. Keene used the term to refer to people who continued to believe in a paranormal event or phenomenon even after it had been proven to have been staged.
One of my ah-ha moments after 120 lessons of ACIM was about healing and I realized I'd paid $333 to reconnect myself to nothing. That's okay, when I took hypnosis last summer the instructor mentioned it and said "the eyes flutter just like hypnosis." . I giggled.

But that's neither here nor there.If you want to get reconnected check out all the websites for axialtonal alignment. It's a lot cheaper. One is supposed to be based on the other so get informed and use a little discernment.


New Thought itself was about reading the bible, the Christ within and God within. Living the teachings.
I've been curious about Indigo Children and who started it.http://www.indigochild.com/ says:
and... just in case you heard otherwise from other "indigo" sources, the designated word "Indigo" has nothing to do with the color of an aura! It is the result of scientific observations by a woman who has the brain disorder called synesthesia.That's a rare disorder where you process information using 2 senses instead of one. For example you a color with a number, a smell with a number, a sensation with a number. It's a rare disorder. And has nothing to do with auras or the seven rays from Helena Blatsky or Alice Bailey.Indigo children From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia says
The term "indigo children" originates with parapsychologist and self-described synesthete and psychic, Nancy Ann Tappe who developed the concept in the 1970's. Tappe published the book Understanding Your Life Through Color in 1982 describing the concept, stating that during the mid 1960s she began noticing that many children were being born with "indigo" auras (in other publications Tappe has said the color indigo came from the "life colors" of the children which she acquired through her synesthesia.
